from this State to the National Con-
vention are ieopardIEed By the un-
necessary and unwise action Of Mr.
Pearson In forming = combination
with the enemy TO carry ont his sell
ish and revolutionary scheme.
Already Mr.. Duncan and his ele-
nent had succeeded In defraudinE
the will OF the people IN the first
Congressional District and elected
two Federal otfce-holders as dele
gates to the National Convention.
4 resolution 10 instruct for Roose-
yeIt was voted down by order OF Mr..
Duncan This was known TO all men.
Then why should the man who claim
ed to be the personal representative
of Mr.. Roosevelt enter into a combi-
nation with the man who had defeat
ed the will of the people in the First
District, and who had put up two
ati-Roosevelt delegates, and thus
make It possible for him to send, in
addition. four contesting delegates to
the National Convention? IL Roose-
Welt loses these votes in the National
Convention, the will of the people
will be outraged, and the blame will
rest entirely upon the head OF Mr..
Richmond Pearson.
In this connection, We are glad TO
be able to state that Hon. Zeb Vance
Walser, the chairman of the Roose-
Welt forces in North Carolina, opposed
the revolutionary scheme of Mr..
Pearson and helped to prevent the
convention from committing such
folly.

HOW THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
WAS DEFEATED.
subscriber from Harnett Coun-
ty, in a letter says:

A SUBSTITUTE tfOin MAI hS11 >oN'
V, in a letter says:
Il was very much surprised
and disappointed to see how the
vote of Harnett County was cast
in the Republican State Conven-
ton last week. One-half OF the
vote of this county was cast to
unseat the regular Roosevelt
delegates from Wake, Franklin
and Carteret Counties, and TO
seat the Duncan delegates from
these counties. If that question
was submitted to a primary or
the people of this county, the
vote would be ten to one against
seating the Duncan delegates. |
understand that the credentials
committee, every one of whom
was a strong Roosevelt man,
with one exception, voted unan-
imously in favor of seating the
Roosevelt delegates, and that the
1dClS were ludl "d
Il also understand that one
half of the vote of this county
was cast against Marion Butler
for National Committeeman.
This will surprise the people of
our county very much. If
primary is held in this county,
and every man given chance to
express his wishes, it is safe to
say that Marion Butler would
get a hundred votes to one that
would be cast for Richmond
Pearson. This shows how
much truth there is in what Col.
Roosevelt has been saying about
how the will of the people can
be defrauded by the bosses
through the old convention and
caucus system. This convinces
me that Col Roosevelt is right;
that the only way for the people
to rule all the time is to have
primaries, so that the people in
each township can vote direct
for the man and measures of
their choice.
Il think what has just hap
pened at the last State Conven-
ton, however, will arouse our
people so that such a misrepre-
sentation of the wishes of the
people of this county cannot oc-
cur again. | now see how much
force and truth there was in
was the Caucasian kept warning
the people about, and that there
was danger of men who stod with
the old referee machine fooling
the people bydeclaring loudly for
Roosevelt into sending them as
delegates to the convention. 1t
now seems to me that this is ex-
actly what happened in this
county, and from what I can see
about the vote in this conven-
ton. the same thing must have
happened in every county in the
State. One thing is certain, how
ever, and that is that these
agents of the old referee pa
tronage machine won't fool any
body in this county again.
Our subscriber, in his letter, frol
hitch we take the above extract, hs
tated the situation most admirabl,

THE RECALL OF JUDGES, THE RE-
CALL OF JUDICIAL DECISIONS
AND THE THIRD TERM.

"A
we approve of the recall of judges,
and also the recall of judicial de-
cisions, and also what we thought of
the third term proposition.
In reply we would say that our
forefathers, when they were framing
the Constitution of this State and the
Constitution of the United States,
provided in each document for the re-
they provided to recall an unfit or an
unfaithful judge was to remove them
by the method called impeachment
proceedings. The only question about
the recall of judges to-day is, not as
matter of principle, but purely as
a matter of method. If the impeach-
ment method which our forefathers
thought would be effective to recall
an unjust or an improper man for
judge, then surely it is the duty Of
all of us to-day to adopt some other
method that will be more effective.
AS to the recall of judicial decis-
ions, will say that the people made
the constitution and the people know
what they meant when they made it.
If judge decides that the constitu-
ton means just the opposite of what
the people intended it to mean, then
we submit that the people have a
right to recall that decision and re-
place it with their own decision, max
ing it clear just what they did mean.
What good does it do the people to
have the right to make a constitu-
ton If they cannot see it enforced in
the form in which they made it. If
the judges are to be given the right
to warp and change the constitution,
then they should be given the right
to make the constitution for the peo-
pie, in the first place.
AS to the third term proposition,
we would say that there is an old
and true maxim to the effect that
whenever the reason behind a rule
is removed that the rule fails. The
objection to any officer succeeding
himself for a second term, to say
nothing of third term, is based on
the fact that a man holding a power
full Office, like the Governor of State
or the President of the United States.
has the power to use the prestige and
patronage of his Office to secure his
denomination, and that this is a dan
gerous power. For that reason, our
forefathers in North Carolina wisely
provided in our State Constitution
that no Governor should succeed him
self.
1t has always been understood and
held, however, that this provision of
our Constitution only prevents a
Governor from being renominated
for the Office while he still holds it.
Any man in North Carolina who has
once been Governor. and who has
been out one term or more. is eligible
to be reelected Governor if the peo-
pie want him, and be reelected as
many times as the people want him.
providing that one term interviews. II
any man who has been Governor and
who has been out one or two terms
is so popular that the people, on ac-
count of the fine record that he made
as Governor, and on account of his
high standing with the majority of
the people. want him to serve again
as Governor. then by all means he is

Commissioner of Agriculture
Watson VIII be a Candi-
date.

The recent legislature made the
office of Commissioner of Agricul-
ture an elective office, and in an
,nouncing his candidacy few days
ago Mr.. Watson gave the follow
ing out to the press:
why, of course, l am going to
stand for election in the primary.
Nothing will give me greater pleas
ure than to go before the people of
my beloved Site. / courted the
privilege. know most of the peo-
pie of South Carolina and most of
c.em know me, and the few who
don't know me personally know of
the hard, earnest work done by my
department for the betterment of
the condition of all classes of our
citizenship. And If there is any
thing in this world / am not afraid
of it is the verdict of the people.
1 have labored to thoroughly equip
for the variety of expert duties re-
quired, even by the law itself. in
the conduct of this constructive de-
partment of the government and I
love the work, for it is work the
fruits of which can be sem by all
men. / am not merely seeking po-
litical office for the sake of the job
or for glory or / would not have
recently deliberately thrown away
as pretty an opportunity as was of
fered to any man anywhere to take
popular course. 1 have never yet
sought or asked for any position or
office l have ever held, and am now
only in politics, with the construc-
tive work of the State, to the ex-
tent that l have been legislated into
politics, and for what l consider
the public welfare. l have been
called upon, therefore, to make sac
rifces, personally, for what my
Judgment has tolu me was for the
good of the commonwealth, and
sometimes subject myself to unjust
criticism. But l have nothing in
that regard to apologize for, and if
called upon to face the same situa-
ton again l would willingly make
the same sacrifices. l am afraid of
no man or set of men, but prefer
for justice and fairness to control
my actions in a public capacity and
always seek the substantial result
rather then waste time by engaging
in unseemly squabbles of a purely
political character. If the people
place their confidence in me, as they
have done heretofore, / trust to
their material benefit, l feel sure 1
shall not abuse that trust. If there
be destructionists who wish to pull
down and clog the wheels of prog
ress / shall deem it public duty to
use the fighting qualities I've been
called upon 80 often to exercise so
vigorously in the battles for justice
to the South in which l have en-
gagged in the outside world. And
our people may rest assured shall
be the last to shirk public duty"

MRS. GRACE NOT
To GO ON STAGE
Fortune Drained by Trial, She
May Be Forced to Enter
Business World.

Mrs. Daisy Ope Grace, in Savannah
today en- route from the scene of her
recent trial apF acquittal to take up
a new life with her mother and her
blind son in Philadelphia. may dis
cover when she reaches her destination
that she will be forced to go out and
earn livelihood.
The cost of her trial and the pre-
liminary expenses exceeded $4,000 and
she is so short of cash that she has
given her lawyer, John w. Moore,
judgment lien upon her Philadelphia
property to secure a part of her attor-
neys' fees. This note for $500 prob
ably is only one of several that Mrs.
Grace was forced to give, and she ad-
mits that her resources have been
drained by the trial.
Nevertheless, when she left Atlanta
with her mother last night on the $40
ously denied the report that she is to
go upon the stage to reCoup her for
tunes and pay for the education and
treatment of her blind son. She said
she had had offers from theatrical man
ayers.
May Enter Business Field.
Mrs. Grace did not deny that she
might enter some business. What this
business will be she has not yet even
attempted to determine. She has no
professional training, nor any particu
lar accomplishment which might be
turned into an income. She believes
that after all the obligations of the
trial are settled she will still have
enough left so that she and her mother
may live in fairly comfortable circum-
stances The income from her proper
ty would not also provide for her blind
sons education and care and she said
she was determined to give him every
opportunity in life if she had to work
her hands off" to do it.
With her mother last night she avoid
ed the curious crowd at the depot by
hurrying to her state room through the
freight elevator There she babe good
bye to Detective Burke and Captain and
Mrs. Fl. j. Weaver in the privacy of
the compartment that she had taken
under an assumed name. When she
sails for Philadelphia from Savannah
today it will be also under a name that
is not her own.

have been my friends" she said, as the
train moved out but am glad to be

ever"

BOARD WEDNESDAY

Final decision on the travelling mems
petition asking for an abridgement of
the present mileage rule used on Geor-
gia railroads will be reached by the

day
Chairman Gambler said today that the
commission hoped to dispose Of the

proval of a S72OO,O0G stock and bond
issue.
The travelling mems organizations,
which have urged that the mileage rule
be changed, have taken no chances. A

changeable mileage to pull the coupons
on trains has already passed the senate
and been reported favorable in the
house
