her:
"You have a few scenes in the lions
cage; you go up in balloon and make
a parachute descent with dog; you
fall on the judges lawn khen the para
chute goes wrong; you do several side
show stunts in the circus and dance
your big Hula Hula in one scene; you
catch your former employer robbing
the judges house after the latter has
taken you in as his granddaughter.
But you are an imposter, put in the
house by the circus men as a tool
through which they are to rob the
Judge. There is big fight in which
one of the tieves is killed"

Don't Like Cost.

And anti-primary men urged the cost
of a candidacy now as the strongest
argument against the new way of choos-
ing men,
1t is impossible for poor man to
run for Office and vet as good a man
as Avcock once said he was in favor of
primary so that it is possible for a
poor man to hold office if he aspires, -
noted Raleigh lawyer said a few days
ago.
The view ISM generally shared. The
poor man ran better in this primary
than the rich. They ran on the same
basis. Neither can spend more than a
limited amount. It Is much to be
doubted if the entire state ticket candi-
dates on both sides spent the money in
the late primary that Colonel Ashley
Horne did in the 1908 contest for the
governorship, and it is certain that the
Cra! !g kitchin contest for the governor
ship cost three times what the Beckett
bHughtridge race did. The Simmons

must have cost five times what any
