The great international questions that
will. confront the United States dur
Ing tbs nexs few years at least viii
make the geIeral election next fall
one Of he most important that this
coLutry has NitnesSed in many years,
therefor with questions and issues
10 be met from on eonntry's stand
point aud not f'om any political sense
il is absolutely necessary that men , e
elscied to Congress both housesl
who are ia'esmen and particularly
% ;he United States Senate. P1liu-
Glars NJ longer control these nomi-
nations but they are made directly
by the people, therefore, in bvth po-
liiieal parties The best man should be-
selected from tie standpoint Of states
maiship, qualifications, brains and
adj ity. This being true We, having
the welfare t our rox6try and party
a, cart believe tbAfthe nominal ion
aud election Of Phillips Lee Colds
borough TO i,tnitsd States Senate
--is-ss.e Pre- * necessary foi the
cilizsns ss-eiis State to do. The
R4anblicsns Of this County in the
coming primary should be mindful Of
two facts when they cast their votes
in the primaries on Monday nexi;
that tisy must serve their
country first in the selection of the
nominee and their party next. To
se,ve their country best they mutt
vote to send llan to .he Senate

statesmanlike manner when interna-
tionaI questions ari-e which may
throw this country into war or divert
it from one They vii serve their
party best by nominating the kind of
mar, who can be el eted In Novem-
Der. As we have said before, in our
judgment, Governor Goidsborough is
far better qualified in these respects
than his opponent, Mr.. Fame. He
is not only qualified from The stand
point q experience as an executive
officer bas his r.co;a shows that 30
b, oad and liberal minded. Aside
ON this his natural Qualifications, he
Glands high 10 the State with the
voters of all parties lie stands
strong with The rack and file of his
party, be has the support Of large
number OF progressives who strayed
away from the fold in 1912 and above
all his best ass 1t in order to win 10
November is thas he hiss large fol-
lowing among the independents and
democrats in this state. Rapublica
remember that the Republican party
10 this State is the minority party and
thas in ord r for republican to b.
elected to State office he must not
only poll his full party y,te but break
largely into the racks OF the demo-
cratic palt, and his PHILLIPS Lee
Goldsborough can do. While the
people vote their sentiments as to
their choice for the nominee, ander
tie law the nomination has to be rat
flied by the State Conventions to
which delegates will ais be elected
on Monday. The Goldsborough del
egstes TO be voted for in this county
are John F. Dorsey, Robert 7. era !,
and J. Wesley Kew. Mark your
ticket not only for Goldsborough but
for these delegates who represent
his cause. These are the only dele
gates on the ticket representing
Gold,borough's cause. The others
represent Mr.. France. Asa final word
then Republicans Of the County 90

your votes for the best iaterest OF
your country and the parry you love,
By voting for Phillips Lee Colds
borough aud his delegates, John f.
Dorsey, Robert T. Gray and J Wss-
