Many of the large dailies of the
country are beginning to blame both
Taft and Roosevelt for the spirited
contest that has been carried on be-
tween them, but as a matter of fact
the newspapers are as much or more
to blame than either of the aspirants
for the nomination. Some of the
newspapers instead of discouraging
personal attacks have encouraged
them and thousands of columns of
matter have been published that have
had no bearing whatever on the mer-
its of the contest. The result has
been the arousing of the prejudices
instead of appealing to reason.

The people in New Jersey are vot-
ing this afternoon. All reports COM
ing from that state indicate that the
contest between Taft and Roosevelt is
very close. Considering the proxim-
ity of that state to New York one,
not knowing anything about the par
ticular conditions there, would be safe
in concluding that Taft will have
majority of the delegates, but Roose-
welt has overthrown so many logical
conclusions recently that no one dare
venture a conclusion of any kind. The
people are content to await the re-
suits of the primary.

Wilson has demonstrated that he
is the choice of the people in his state
although the conservative Democrats
have fought him at every turn of the
road. So far as the instructed dele
gates are concerned Wilson will be
more than one hundred votes behind
Clark. 1t appears now that Clark
will not have even a bare majority
of the delegates and will be long
way from having the necessary two
thirds majority.

1t may be little far-fetched for
some of the Colorado papers to claim
that Mayor-elect Arnold had nothing
10 do with his election in Denver. We
are in:imeL to believe that, while the
chief issue in Denver was the over
throw of the machine forces, the per-
sonality of a candidate has very much
to do with his success or failure in a
political campaign. At least it is
reasonable to assume that he was pop
ular in Denver.

THE BATTLE OF ALAMANCE.

At the battle of Alamance, North
Carolina, fought one hundred and for
ty-one years ago, May 16, 1771, was
shed the first blood of the great strug-
gle which was to result in the estab-
lishment of new republic. This
was the first of fight of which Lex
ington was only the continuation.
Says John Fiske, in his American
Revolutions: "The barbarous Ameri-
can independence
All honor to Lexington, where the
"embattled farmers" fred the shots
that were "heard around the world,
"but let it not be forgotten that other
farmers, almost four years before the
day of Lexington, opened the condi-
tion on the frontier, where these
scenes occurred the Battle of Ala
nance, etc, and the fact that the
militia of lower counties voluntarily
assisted the governor in his campaign
against the Regulators, deprived these
events of much of the influence they
might otherwise have had upon the
country; so that it is not the Cape
Fear but the Concord river that ordi-
narily occurs to us when we think
of the first blood shed in the Revo-
lutionary war"
The principles for which the North
Carolina farmers fought the Alamance
were identical with those for which
Massachusetts farmers fought at Lex
ington. OF the Massachusetts patri-
OTIS nineteen were killed and wounded,
while of the Carolina patriots over
two hundred lay killed or crippled
upon the field, and six, later on, died
upon the scaffold; yet, while all the
world has heard of Lexington, not one
person in thousand knows anything
to speak of about Alamance.
William Tryon, the royal governor
of North Carolina, was so mean that
they called him the wolf" In the
name of his royal master, and for the
furtherance of his own greedy in
stincts, Tryon oppressed the people of
his province to the point where they
were obliged to do one of two things
resist him Or become slaves. They
resolved to resist, and formed them
selves into an organization known as
Regulators" body of as pure pa
triots as ever shouldered gun.
Having protested time and again
against the unlawful taxation undA~
which they groaned, they finally quit
groaning, raised the cry of freedom
and rose in arms against Tryon and
King George.
To the number of two or three thou
sand, the Regulators, only partly arm
ed and without organization met the
forces of the royal governor at Ala
nance.
Lay down your arms or | will
firel" shouted the British commander.
Fire and be damnedw shouted back
the leader of the Regulators. AT once
the battle opened, and of course, the
Regulators were defeated and dis
persed. But old Tryon received the
lesson he had so long needed, that
while Americans could be shot down
on the battlefield they could not be
made tamely to submit to the high
handed oppression of King George and
his creatures.
Monuments are good things and
why not build one of the finest design
and most enduring material to mark
the spot where the Regulators began
the fight that was to end in the Gre
alton of the United States of America.

lin News Herald.
