weeks visit to lredell county, which
adjoins this county. Statesville is
the county seat. Mooresville is quite
hice town on the road that runs
from Statesfille to Charlotte. Wis
tied there and in the vicinity. where
| have a number of relatives living.
There are several factories there,
where they turn out thread, and some
cloth is made. The crops are not
good up there; corn a failure, except
that on the bottom land and some
late planting. The early drought
was the cause Of it, and the farmers
were not in cheerful mood-espe-
cially over the uncertainty of the
price of cotton. There have been
several meetings of prominent cotton
men from different parts of the state,
but do not think anything has been
satisfactorily settled yet. 1t is rath-
err a serious matter here. as there are
so many cotton factories to keep
running and so many people depend
ing on them for a living.

TREASURER ALLEN
IS A DEFAULTER

Boise, Oct. 2O.-The resignation
of o. V. Allen, state treasurer, has
been placed in the hands of Govern
or Haines. The resignation was en-
tirely voluntary and Mr. Allen
courts the fullest examination and
publicity in the investigation that
was instituted by political opponents
and in which the surety company,
on his bond. took hand.
The office is temporarily in the
hands of Axel P. Ramstedt. member
of the state tax commission, and ex-
perts of the National Surety conn
pany, on the treasurer's bond for
5000, 900, are examining the books.
Banks over the state have been no
titled to not pay any treasurer 3
checks until the audit is completed
this being simply a precautionary
taken by Governor Haines, and no
cause for unrest of any character,
as the state is secure in any event.
Both Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Ramstedi
have declined TO make any public
statement Of import. but Treasurer
Allen says that he is perfectly will
ing that the fullest investigation
proceed, and asks that judgment b
suspended until the report Is mad'
public.

FROM THE TICKET

Martin Winters has withdrawn
from the republican ticket as can
didate for auditor and recorder. In
filing his withdrawal with Auditor
Broomhead and with Chairman
Jones Of the central committee. Mr..
Winters did not make known his rea-
sons for his action, further than 10
say that owing TO certain conditions
which have arisen, | feel that for the
interest Of the party and party har-
mony that it will be better for me 70
withdraw my name from the ticket.
When 1t first became known Wed
nesday morning that Mrt Winters
had withdrawn. 1t was thought that
he had taken the action too late to
enable the central committee to fill
the vacancy. but after looking into
the law thoroughly II was decided
that the committee could act.
AS the power TO fill any vacancies
had previously been delegated. by
the central committee. to the execu-
tive committee, Chairman Jones
called the latter together Wednes.
day night and after discussing ihe
situation, H. H. Broomhead, thC
present auditor. was unanimously
chosen to fill the vacancy. Although
realizing that he was Handicapped
by entering the race at this late day
Mr.. Broomhead accepted the nomi
nation and will make as vigorous
campaign from now on as his tim
will permit.
The Examiner heartily endorse
the action of the executive commit
tee and will do what it can to secur
. the election Of Mr.. Broomhead. II

WILSON INDORSES
BOSS SULLIVAN

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Wilson
administration, after full consultation
with the Democratic leaders in the
senate, has decided to support Roger
Sullivan in the senatorial fight in Illi-
nois and Secretary of State Bryan has
been ordered to let up in his fight on
the most successful political boss Illi-
nois has ever known.
Roger Sullivan represents in politics
everything President Wilson is sup
posed to abhor; he is the type of poll
tician Mr.. Wilson has frequently de-
nounced; and he is a man for whom
neither the president nor the secre-
tary of state have heretofore enter
tanned either respect or approval.
Sullivan was the worst kind of an an
ti-Wilson man prior to the nomina-
tion at Baltimore; he has never ar
rayed himself with the administration
since the Baltimore convention, but
now the Wilson administration has
surrendered and gone to his support
in the Illinois campaign.
No criticism. that the Democrats can
make of Boss Barnes of New York
who has retired, or against Penrose
in Pennsylvania, but what can be
made with equal propriety by the Re
publicans of Roger Sullivan. Il
Barnes is boss, so is Sullivan, will
the exception that Barnes is passing
or has passed out of power, to larg'
degree, while Sullivan is today at tn
height of his power, as indicated b.
. his victory at the primaries where h
, was opposed by the administrator
element Of the Illinois Democracy.
, But notwithstanding his record, Sui
: livan today has the staunch support
a the administration, and the word he
: been passed from the White Hous
: that everything within reason must
n done to elect Sullivan. The presiden
n if possible, wants to gain seat in II
. senate from Illinois, even if that SCI
! be filed by Sullivan. With the Al
Al ministration, the chief concern no
= is to have a Democratic senate II
the next two years.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
SHTRKED THEIR DUTY

Washington, Oct. 19.-Considera-
BILE amusement has been occasioned
in Washington by President Wilson's
probably unconscious Indictment of
democratic absenteeism in congress
in a letter recently addressed to
Chairman Doremus, Of the national
democratic congressional committee.
The President says:
America expects every man to do
his duty without thought of profit
or advantage to himself. The re-
cord men make speaks for itself.
The country cannot be deceived con-
corning it and will assess it justly.
Every man ought now to stay on his
job until the crisis is past and ought
to stay where his job can best bt
done"
| How severe is the Presidents ar
raignmerbt of the democratic major
lity in tho house of representative

are presented as TO how much an
how little the democratic majorit
