Chairman Lamb of the State Board
of Elections holds that Raleigh and
Wake county must have a second pri-
mary to nominate one Of it's three
members of the House. Two Of them
received a majority. but the third and
fourth candidates ran SO close tOgetn-
er, that neither received a majority,
there being six candidates voted for.
The third man (JOhnsOn) received.
2O16 for Pate the next highest. but the
State Board holds that he was not
nominated as there were 1853 votes
east for the six, making 2,908 a MA
jority of Qne-third of the total vote.
There is a kick. but it will not avail.
May be similar instances in Other
counties. If so, all the HeXt highest
candidate has to do is to "cite this pre-
cedent.''

There is prevalent already a strong
belief that the true American spirit
will actuate the real patriotic voters
to easily select Wilson in preference
to Hughes as the best representative
of American thought and action-the
man whose brand of patriotism is as
intense as that of the most mouthy of
Roosevelt jingoes and twice as safe,
and whose followers will not brook or
tolerate the possibility Of placing in
the White House a person like Hughes,
tanned with hyphenism, and who could
not be depended upon to fully measure

any day soOn strike the hour of this
country's destiny.
