THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

We print elsewhere in this issue
of the Record, a communication from
Mr.. Nimocks in behalf of Judge
Clark for the U. S. Senate. Judge
Clark has many warm friends and
admirers in Warren county. Our
people recognize his ability and fit
ness and are cogniZant of his great
services to the State, and have re-
peatedly voted for him for the Su
preme Court, the Chief-Justiceship
Of which he adorns, and many Of
his greatest admirers believe he can
best serve the people by remaining
member Of the Supreme Court.
There ale other candidates for the
Senate who are worthy Of that high
position, but we believe that the
best interests of the State will be
served by sending Governor Kitchin
to the Senate. We believe that of
all the candidates he will make US
the ablest and most effective repre-
sentative in the Senate.
From his youth, Governor Kitchin
has fought the battles Of Democra-
CIV, and has kept the faith. In his
youth he edited a Democratic news
paper in our sister county, Halifax
In his early manhood he was the
Chairman Of the Democratic party
in the county of Person. He redeem
ed the Fifth District for Democracy
and for twelve years represented it
in Congress with signal ability. In
the great Suffrage amendment cam
paign he made a brilliant canvass Of
a large part Of the State. It fell to
his lot to defend this great measure
in the Congress of the United States,
and he did it Wilh such ability and
success that the State Executive
Committee caused eighty five tllous-
and copies Of his speech to be clrcu-
lated throughout the State as a
campaign document.
His devotion to the Democrrtic
faith, his fidelity to the pledges of
the Party, and his courage and abil-
ity in fighting bounties, subsidies
and special privilege have given him
high stand and commanding in
huence in the councils Of the party
in State and Nation.
For years he was a member eff the
Congressional Campaign Committee,
and he has been leader in shaping
those principles and policies of the
party which are about to bear the
rich fruitage Of Democratic Presi-
dent.
For nearly three years his admin
istration as Governor has been so
able and effective that the State is
enjoying its greatest era Of prosper
1ty and progress in Agriculture, in
public health, in good roads and
drainage, in manufacture and in
every line of material development
and social uplift.
He is wise in council and formid-
able in debate. He is foe to in
direction and deception and fear
less champion Of equal and exact
justice to all and special privilege to
none. Should he be sent to the Sen
ate, he will, on account of his long
service in Congress and his great
prestige, at once become a National
inquire and occupy commanding
position IN the councils of the Demo-
cratic party with which he is in per
feet harmony.
The people demand clean, in
cOrruptible representative in the
United States Senate; a man of
ability, man Of backbone, a man
whose heart beats in sympathy with
the toilers of the land, and yet who
IS not an EXTREMIST, but stands for
equal rights for all and who stands
against special privilege; man who
VIII represent the people, rather
than what is known as the Interests.
and above all a man who realizes
that he is the servant of the people
VINO elected him upon a Democratic
platform to carry out Democratic
principles.
We believe Governor Kitchin
measures up to the high standard
set by the people, and like the i'm
mortal Vance, his heart-beats will
be IN unison with the throbbing
heart of the great commonpeople,
and his official acts, if elected Sen.
ator, will express the will Of the
party, as outlined in the Democratic
platform. and therefore we give
HIM our earnest support. Warren
