party as Is Woodrow Wilson, or any

iand the only way they can posi-
bly, do 1T Is to elect Wilson that's
their business, and the regular !. Re

may befall the country in the event

true. And It's the truth that usu-

From Democratic State Executive
Committee.

Committee.
Word has been received at the
Democrats State Headquarters that
the Republican County Committee
of Calhoun county has removed Bee
man Wright, the nominee for the
House Of Delegates, from the ticket
and has substituted S. F. Fleming
The reason assigned for removing
Mr. Wright from the ticket is that
he was supporting, for county Of
flee, candidate who was not on
the Republican ticket.
Should this policy, adopted by
the Calhoun Republicans, be follow
ed by the Republicans throughout
the State it would probably result
in wholesale removal of candidates
from republican tickets. Among the
local candidates in the various coun-
ties there are numerous persons on
the republican ticket who are open
ly supporting for President of the
United States a man who is not on
the Republican ticket and who could
not get on the Republican ticket.
Whether 1t Is more of political sin
to support candidate for President
on an opposing ticket or candidate
for a minor Office on an opposing
ticket is a question which the gene
raj public would have no difficulty
in answering But it is hardly prob
able that all Republican candidates
who are supporting Mr. Roosevelt
will be removed from the ticket for
that reason, even If the Calhoun can
didate waH removed for supporting
the candidate for minor office who
was nominated on a rival ticket
