Duncan support seems to have grown
into real boomlet, and has knocked
all others out Of the ring
In the meantime the Democrats are
saving wood, and watching the clouds
roll by
Friends of Attorney General Beckett
claim that he has practically landed
the Democratic nomination. People
close to him VOW that he has enough
men promised to- put him over the
ropes in the first half of the game.
But, there are those who beg to differ
with the Bickettites. 1t is not believ-
ed in Washington for a minute that
Senator Simmons and his loyal lieu
tenants will stand idly by and let Mr..
Beckett get the nomination. Senator
Simmons has not announced his candi-
dacy to succeed himself but he will do
it in due time. There is no doubt
about his attitude toward another
term
A friend Of the Simmons faction OF
the Democratic party in North Caro-
lima will give Mr.. Beckett q run for his
money. Just who the Simmons forces
will ge behind is yet a secret. Col. A.
D. Watts, like Brer Fox is lying mighty
low, but he is thinking, thinking.
Within the next six months inter
esting developments in the guberna>
torial race in North Carolina are ex-
pei ted, and another harvest is on tho
-av to cheer the people little the
political pot will begin to boil.
The names mentioned in connection
with the Democratic nomination are
Representative Robert N. Page, q. l.
Dsughtridge, A. W. Mclean, A. J. NC
Xinnon and r. W. Beckett. II Mr.. Me
Lean does not enter the contest. SEN
ator Simmons may support farmer
Mr.. Daughridge. for instance. or some.
body else.
The talk of too many lawyers has
frightened some Democrats, who fea:
another popuhstic movement to Kill Oh
the lawyers, who, it is said, get most
the good things in the way OF JOBS.
While there is more talk than truth
in the charge that lawyers fare better
than others in the Democratic party
some of the workers would allay any
sort of feeling against any class.

solely on the old Prussian-American
treaties of 1899 and 1928, which pro-
vide that contraband belonging to the

YOU,
Mr.. Citizen of this town!

Do you want your dollars to build
sidewalks in this town, or do you want
them to be used in building sidewalks
in the big cities?
When you send yoursdollars to the
mail-order man they are building side
walks for him to walk on; when you
spend them with the merchants of this
town they will help to build sidewalks
for you to walk on.
W'hy not assist in keeping yOar osUn feet
out Of tie mud?
Why not assist in making this town
a better place in which to live?
You can do it by spending your dol
lars with the merchants who are paying
taxes in this town instead of with those
who are paying taxes in the cities.

tOsUn, not for that Of the mail-order man?
