The following is a portion of a
special dispatch to the Charlotte OBJ
server from its Washington CORE
spondent, Mr.. H. E. c. Bryant, and
will doubtless prove. interesting here:
"For almost two years now, Secre-
tary Drake alone has held Represent
alive Gudger's Office, taking care of
ali corners and all correspondence, but
wei since bright and early Monday
morning Mr.. Gudger's office has look
ed like one wing of the Census Blu
Teau. Seven persons, with pens in
their hands, are going it. addressing
nterature-hot campaign stuff, some
thing that tells how active land how
successful Jim" Gudger has been.
The member from the Tenth is telling
his constituents just how faithful he
has been these many moons. 1t is

Walter Moore is Not Active.
BASKERVILLE Citizen.9

That Walter E. Moore, of Jackson
county, frequently spoken of as a
prospective candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for congress, viii
not wage an active campaign for the
nomination but can be regarded as a
receptive candidate, is assured. Mr..
Moore was an Asheville visitor yes
to-day and to a representative of The
Citizen he stated that he has no inten-
ton of making a canvass of the dis
trict in behalf of his candidacy. How
ever, he added, eff the people of the
district see fit to vote for me in the
primaries and I am rendered the
nomination, I shall accept it gladly.
And in that event, I will make a
thorough campaign of the district
against any nominee that might be
Iut in the field by another party"
Explaining his reasons for waging
no active campaign, Mr.. Moore stated
that he can not give the time neces-
sery to a successful campaign to the
work just at this time. my court
duties are pressing now and / am ap-
pearing for men who have paid me to
represent them" said MI. Moore, "and
l could i'll afford to give up this work
to make a personal campaign Of this
confessional district for the demo-
cratic nomination for congress. an
interested in many cases which will
be called in court between now and
the time for the primary and it would
be impossible for me to go through
the district to work in the interest of
my candidacy"
The announcement Of Judge Moore
is taken in political circles to mean
that the fight for the democratic nomi-
nation will be waged between Con-
gresham James M. Gudger Jr, and
Solicitor Robert r. Reynolds. Judge
J. Fl. Merrimon has repeatedly stated
that he will not wage an active cam
paikn for the nomination but will &C
cept it if it is rendered him and the
statement of Mr.. Moore that he will
mo- make a canvass is taken to mean
that Solicitor Reynolds and Congress-
man Gudger will fight it out
There has been some talk Of other
candidates in this district but thus
lar none OF them has announced that
hS will make the race. The time for
the primary is only about a month
Of and those who r wise politically
profess to be sure that no other an
ncuncements will be forthcoming.

Pdllin for the West.
(Franklin Press.)

Two Buncombe county men are
fighting for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congressman from the Tenth
district. Two years ago two Bun
eombe county men we're doing the
same thing; six years ago, ditto, Is
it possible that Buncombe county con-
siders herself, by right of inheritance,
the sole field from which a Democratic
Congressman from the Tenth can be
chosen? We trust not.
However, we think it high time
one of the mountain counties be given
this honor. And we suggest in this
connection Macon, one of the oldest,
most progressive, most cultured, and
most soundly Democratic counties in
Western North Carolina.
And from Macon We pick the one
man best suited at this time for the
place. That man is John 0. Harri-
son.

frunneth beyond the memory of man.
They have had their day. The peo.
pie want their rightful, and long de-
layed chance.
John o. Harrison is a candidate
of the people. Born and reared in
Macon county. his early years spent
on a farm, his later years devoted to
serving the needs of merchants all
over the district as travelling sales
man, he is eminently fitted to serve all
classs in the national congress. But
it is the man who earns his daily
bread to whom John Harrison is
closest, the man, who has worked the
farms and done the hard labor which
has brought these western counties
70 the front in Old North Carolina.
These are the men who will rally TO
his support with one heart and n
will.
To those who know John Harrison
personally, no word of praise is nee
essary. A man of simple faith, strong
principles, progressive ideas; a man
whose life would weigh naught in the
balance against his principles; whose
sense of right and justice is as stead
fast as Gibraltar; who forgives an
enemy and never forgets a friend to
whom the humblest, on account or
this very lowliness, Is more worthy OF
courteous consideration than he
mightiest; to whom plain words come
easiest, and who makes no compro-
mise with lies and deception,-this is
the sort OF man you will support
when you cast your ballot for John Q.
Harrison of Macon county.
Should John Harrison go to Con-
gress he will go with but one inter
est to serve, that of the people who
sent him there, every man, woman,
and child in his district irrespective
Of station in life. He is connected
with no clique, money power, or ring
ef politicians. For his election ne
looks to the voters themselves, the
men who want the highest type OF
honesty and integrity in their politics.
John o. Harrison. the peoples can
didate, is our candidate. For we are
of the people. Where do you stand?

Moore is Active.
Gazette News.)

Walter E. Moore of Webster was a
visitor in the city yesterday and in
conversation with a Gazette-News rep
resentative he dispelled all doubts that
may have existed as to whether or not
he is in the race for the congressional
neminationin the Tenth district this
year, opposing Congressman James NJ.

Mr.. Moore states that he is in the run

scented for, consideration by the DEM
ocrattc voters If the district in the ap-
preaching primaries.
1c was reported in The Gazette
News some time ago that Mr.. Moore
would make the rae Since that
time reports have been circulated
from other sources to the effect that
he would not make an active cam
paign before the primaries but
would be a receptive candidate, if
the voters of the district desired.
These reports r now denied by
Mr.. Moore.
He stated yesterday that he will
not have the time to make an ex-
tensive campaign over the district
but that he is doing some work and
is receiving the unqualified aid of
his friends. He says that he is well
satisfied with conditions thus far and
is confident of strong support all
orer the district.

Staying on the Job.
(waynesville Courier

In the state primaries in Alabama
held on Monday Representative Oscar
Underwood won a sweeping victory
over Representative Richmond r.
Robson in the race for the democratic
nomination for the United States SEN
ate. The race was a spectacular one
and attracted nationwide interest.
One man had successfully LED the
democratic majority in the House OF
Representatives and had made good
in a position that was most RESPONSE
Bile. The other as the hero of an in
csdent in the Spanish-American war
and as a lecturer who had spoken IN
nearly all sections Of the, country
was almost equally well known.
In the fight for the senatorial nom
ination in their home state the two
men followed opposite courses. MS
Underwood, occupying the most re-
sponsible position in congress- re-
NAMED in Washington, attending tc
his duties there. Mr.. Hobson. on the
otner hand, has been absent from
Washington since last October, BENG
In AIabam in the interest OF his
campaign while important work was
being done in congress.
The result in Alabama has a par
ticular interest for the voters OF the
Tenth North Carolina Congressional
district, whose representative is
ing reelection. In the face OF heaVS
work which he should be doing IN
washington the representative FROM
this district is in the district cam
paigning, regardless OF the neglect o.
the work for which he is paid. The
Courier Ii informed that MI. Gudger
arrived in Rutherford county on Mon
day OF this week, and we presume thai
washington will not see him AGAIN
until after the primaries are over In
May.
While congress has enacted the
tariff law and the currency leg1sia-
lion, two OF the greatest measures
promised by the administration there
vet remains much important work &c
10 done before adjournment is taken.
So important are the trust bills, the
r,,ra1 credit and other M
nortant. measures before congress,
that leaders are saying that adjourn
ment will hardly be taken before Juiy.
To represent the Tenth district N
congress Mr.. Gudger is paid a salary
Of $7. 5O0-a year, with additional tips
that make his daily wages approx
mately twenty-five dollars a day. he
IA elected as the representative OF the
hole peop.e and is paid this amount
Of money out of the taxpayers pock-
cts TO stay on the job and do the work
necessary. In any private business a
man who is hired either has to de-
vote his time to the business for which
| he is engaged, or he has to Q Tor
something else to do. A member OF
congress, however, can stay away from
his Job and still draw his salary,
and there is where he has the adj
vantage.
But as The Courier has previously
said. the member who neglects his
euties in Washington and still draws
hss salary a. simply stealing that
nush from the people, He is taking

the people who are paying him his

did the people of Alabama. # he

candidates for the 10th congressional
district! and the hot bed from which
they all sprout is that Of the legal
profession. Don't we grow ft timber
in this end of the district for the job,
or is it that u good men sish &C
remain at home.
What is the use of swapping from
one Buncombe congressman to anotb-
er of the same breed? If w cant
put one of our own in the field what is
the use of swapping at ALL, unless it
is to put one in the position who Is
emiently better in every way 'hln
what we have. 1t takes a term or Two
for a man to get his bearings in
Washington and one of u great
troubles is shelving a man because
we feel he is not doing any good, con-
demning him before he has attained
a standing or a knowledge of the
game as it should be played. He is
ike a freshman in college, and who
ever heard of a freshman doing him
self. or anyone else, any good?
And now comes the time when one
sheep of the flock remarks bah BAIL"
and because we like his silver-toned
voice, or because he looks good, or
for a thousand and one equally i'm
rortant reasons, we duck III heads,
shut our eyes, and like a flock of sheep
follow him blindly to the poles, and
on to the boundary line of the 10th
district, where he crawls through a
hole too small for US to negotiate ami
frisks gaily on to the grass plot of
congress, while we stand blinking in
the sun and wondering why we did Il,
and how he did it. Let's get down to
business during this campaign and
try to get the best of those who
themselves as candidates, the
best for our representative in con
g1ess. 1t is early yet, too soon to
definitely select u man.
