THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

We are printing on the front page
this week an account of the conven-
tions and primaries that have been
held in the various States since our
last issue. The keenest interest was
manifested in the outcome in Illinois
where the Statewide primary was
used to select the delegates. An &C
count of the result of this primary is
given on our first page and should
be read with great interest, in con-
nection with our Washington letter
which also appears on the first page
and was written on Tuesday while
the contest was in progress.

REaPING WHAT THEY SOW.

Since Governor Kitchin's Green's
boro speech, in which he pointed to
the record of broken promises of Sen
ator Simmons, and since he chal-
iIenged Senator Simmons to meet him
on the stump in joint debate and an
swer the facts which he has pro-
duced, there has been an organized
and studied effort on the part Of Sen
ator Simmons and his friends TO SHIFT
the issue from his record. A number
of his supporters have given out in
teryiews or sent communications TO
newspapers in which they have re-
ferred to him as the man who saved
the State from "nigger rule" and
aave said that the party owed him a
debt of gratitude and should keep
him in the Senate forever, ETC.
The other day, Senator Simmons
himself, in replying to an editorial
in Golfers Weekly, which showed up
his record in the Senate, said he
would not condescend to reply to any
thing in that paper because It had
once published an article criticising
the lynching or some other treatment
of the negroes Of the South. Thus
we see that Senator Simmons himself
is taking the lead in this effort to be-
fog the issue and to appeal to the
prejudice to call attention from his
glaring record of broken party
pledges.
This is all very CALLING to Governor
Kitchin's friends, and many of them
are criticising Senator Simmons and
his friends severely for trying to
dodge the real issue of his record.
Governor Kitchin and his friends,
however, cannot complain, because
they are now simply reaping what
they have helped to SOW.

NATURAL AND HABITUAL INCON.
SISTENCY.

Since the Democratic machine of
this State has not been able to use
the negro cry as an overshadowing is
sue, they have in each campaign used
prohibition and the trust question as
their leading slogans. Most of the
leaders of this prohibition party,
however, are now supporting Cover
nor Wilson, of New Jersey, as their
candidate for President, while he is
opposed to prohibition and is stand
ing fat-footedly for "1ocal option
Very few of the Democratic ma
chine leaders in this State, who have
protested to be so strongly in favor
of destroying trusts, are supporting
Speaker Clark, yet Speaker Clark is
the author of the Missouri antitrust
law under which the Standard Oil
Company and every other trust has
been broken up or driven out of the
State of Missouri. That law has been
sustained by the Supreme Court of
Missouri and also by the Supreme
Court of the United States. However,
it is natural for party that has talk
ed against trusts during a campaign
and then refused to pass the Mis-
souri, antitrust law when the Legis-
lature meets, to oppose a man like
Clark, who has done more efficient
work than any other Democrat in the
country in destroying trusts.
There is nothing strange In all of
this, however, for it is simply an
other illustration of the natural and
habitual inconsistency of the Demo
cratic party.

CHARLES BRANTLEY AYCOCK.

The whole State was shocked at
! the announcement of the sudden
\ death of Governor Aycock. While
h he had been in bad health for some
i time, yet it was believed that his
health was rapidly improving.
He was a man of big brain and big
! heart. His impulses were all gen.
erous and noble. He was incapable
6Eof doing a small or a mean act He
was a man of pronounced convictions
and possessed manly courage that
did not waiver under adverse and
trying conditions. He combined both
Bleloquence and logical reasoning pow
ers of high degree. He was on the
stump the strongest man in his par
ty. He was the high type of man
who could meet strong opponent,
in the fiercest kind of a contest, and
yet command the respect of his OPP
ponent more at the end than at the
beginning. It is safe to say that Mr..
Aycock had more personal admirers
and friends than any other man in
North Carolina, and these friends
were not limited to the members of
his own political party.
Mr.. Aycock's administration as
Governor was notable for his efforts
to improve, elevate and broaden the
public school system of the State, and
when he dropped dead, on the ros-
trum in Birmingham, Ala, he was
just closing powerful address in
favor of extending the benefits of the
public school system to every boy and
girl in the land.
It had always been Governor Ay-
cocks ambition to serve in the Unit
ed States Congress. The details of
the duties of the Chief Executive OF
the State did not particularly appeal

Convention. The editor of that
paper further says that he is for

This is as it should be. There

now to rule is to simply express their

should be alert to preserve this great
privilege now given to them, and they
should be warned that if the old ref

State, that this right of the people
to rule will be taken away from them
and the boss machine rule again es-
tablished.

There is so much truth, and i'm
portant truth, in the above letter that
we have published it in full. 1nfor-
nation of the same kind has come 70
us from number of different
sources. If the people everywhere
would permit these patronage ma
chine men to go as delegates simply
because they were for Roosevelt, we
would wake up when it was too late
and find that the party was again in
the hands of the referee machine.
In short, these referee machine fell
lows are today at work for dear life
from the mountains to the sea to cap
ture the State under the cover OF

P. S.-Since the above was writ
ten we have received a letter from

since the county convention was held
there that there has already develop
ed an active movement against our
