Taking the Lid Or
The inquiry lasted only n day
when the Adjournment to June 20 wac
taken. Postponement became neces-
sary because of the infOTmality OF i'll
yittng'' scores. Of witnesses (named n
the compjaintl to cOme and testify at
their own expense. At best this looks
like only q half hearted desire to get
them here from a distance and few
were present. The attorney general
promptly ruled that the w tnesses
should be summoned in the usual
legal manner. This course Will insure
their presence here when the inquiry
is resumed next week.
Didn't Know Nothing.
An attempt to prove something by
one of the employees of the institution
resulted in a miserable failure to get
anything out of him in the way Of
constructive eV dence. The necessity
Of securing diSinterested witnesses
became so apparent that steps were
taken to have them here at the next
hear ng. and G~overnOr-elect Beckett is
expected TO develop the truth Of the
situation at that tine.
Isn't It Perfectly Lovely.
Nobody is nursing q grievance over
the result OF the State primary that l
know Of. The defeated aspiTants and
all the friends have no kick to make
about anything for there was no
cheating and no political assas-
sins" on 10 DO anybOdy's dirty work
The political ward heeleTs' had less
to do than usual. and ven the party
workers d q not run their actiT ties in
overtime. In other words it was a
fair and square contest from begin
ming to end, conducted decently and in
order.
Have an Eye There. Mate!
Now all this looks Ike easy sailing
for the party craft this ear. There
lies the dangers and il the crew goes
to sleep there will be a wreck. So. it
becomes necessary to keep awake and
so avoid both the shoals and snags
OF the enemy. For the enemy is busy
this year n getting bus. er; forced to
play a desperate game because of the
difficulties he will encounter.
Every friend of the primary law, as
well as its critics. W IT to them
selves and the party to be vigilant-
more vigilant than ordinarily this
Campai gn.
There were approximately $4,000
democratic voters who did not partici-
pate in the State primary.
The normal republican vote is
greater than the comb ned vote for all
! the candidates for each Office by dem
ocrats in the recent primary.
1t requires no field glasses to see,
| therefore. hat there is work to be
be done and the democratic state com
mittee is now charged with the bulk
| of it. Chairman Warren will have a
task worthy of his activities and there.
Will be no lack of purpose and effort
on his part. But we must have active
and hearty cooperation, and this
thu should be given by all concerned.
On to st. Louis.
The Tar Heel delegation and wis.,
tors to the Democratic National con-
vent-on at st. Louis this week are on
the ground by THIS time and the for
Emal nomination of Woodrow Wilson
and the adoption of a bang-up, pa
triotic, non-gringo platform will be
the the news to trickle along the
wires about the tine you are digest
ing this letter. -Four more years for
| Woodrow" let us hope and believe.
