few, if any, really thought he was ever
in danger of defeat, the mere idea of
our people making the mistake Of en-
tcrtaining such a proposition as the re-
tirement from Congress of the Leader
of the House Majority was sufficient to
interest all in the utter foolishness (to

proceeding-to say nothing of the per

and in the nation and the recognition
of this fact had considerable influence

It is generally believed here that 50
far as the nominations are concerned
the new primary plan made little or no
difference. The men who were success

That the primary method took much
Of the "ginger' and enthusiasm out
of the pre-primary conventions there is
no question-both the State and county
conventions. The opponents of the pri-
mary have expressed the fear that it
would extract much of the activity out
of party workers (for they are the fell
lows who carry the elections generality
and thus cause legarthy in the party s
ranks and contribute to a decrease in
the total vote polled at the real cleo
ton. This fear is still expressed by
some good Democrats and good party
men. But if there is really any ten
must be cured and overcome. One es-
sential Ingredient which enters into
the prescription for this cure is this
warning; which should be thoroughly
understood and digested at once: The
real election is yet to be held. The pri-
mary has not elected anybody and the
candidates named in the primary will
be defeated if Democrats do not do
their duty and every one of you will
be needed at the polls in November.

proximately 5000 majority in the dis

AS stated in the Commonwealth g

a foregone conclusion at 9 o'clock that
Mr.. Kitchin 8 majority would reach
1000. When the Representative from

tance telephone Of the vote Saturday
night he was pleased. He was parti-
cularly interested in his home county
and inquired after every precinct. He
expressed astonishment at the small
vote polled at Roanoke Rapids.
