STATE PRESS ON CARTER AND MANNING

Carter Is mads the handsomar By rea-
son Of the fact that in well-informed
political circles within the State, he
was about rs certain of the honor OF
the nomination he had been seeking as
anything in politics can be certain.
Judge Carter g identity with the bench
of North Carolina has been marked
by a record of more than ordinary
achievement, but it appears to the OBJ
server that it has been only within the
recent few months that the people OF
the State have come into the better
appreciation of his worth and his mer-
it's as jurist. He has been bold and
fearless in the discharge of his duties
and if he has won tie title of a terror
to evil-doers, he has done so both to the
profit Of the State and society. His
intimates may regard his relinquish-
ment of the honor he had sought as a
sacrifice of a political ambition of no
mean merit. The people, while con-
curing in that view, will take the
broader one that an able lawyer has
been retained in the service of the
State and the bench will keep the
strengthening influences of one of its
ablest and brightest jurists.-Charlotte
Observer.

Coming Manning's Way.

Judge Frank Carter has retired from
the race for attorney general as sud
denly as he entered, and just about as
spectacularly, though not as sensa-
tionally. Yet, while he parts with all
chance-the size Of the chance is an
open question, of course-of being hon
ord by the people in this way, he gains
more, perhaps, in the estimation of the
public.
1t was always questionable whether
he acted wisely in making the race
upon the grounds that he cited, but
there can be none as to his course in
retiring from the contest and for the
reasons he presents. For the fine rea-
sons he paints so beautifully, too. He
acknowledges his deep obligation to
the man in whose favor he retires and
frankly tells of the great service per
formed by that man, voluntarily, ably
and without reward, expectation or de-
sire for such.
By this action Judge Carter strength
ems himself in public estimation, and
certainly strengthens the cause of
Judge Manning, in whose favor he
quits the attorney generalship race.
Judge Manning's candidacy is help
ed threefold by Judge Carriers retire
ment. First, its manner bears testi-
mony to the high character and abil-
ity Of Judge Manning; second, il places
at his side strong fighting force;
third, it leaves him the most widely
known candidate Of them all; perhaps
more widely known than all the others
and, this is bound to be big asset
when the race is before the primary
Many things have happened in the
raee for attorney general, which con
test seems to have ecipsed all Others
in general interest, but nothing the
equal Of the unexpected entrance Of
Judge Manning, with its rapid conse
quences.-Wilmington Dispatch.

BE NOT DECEIVED!

And now the cry goes forth to the
farmer, "Vote for me because am one
of you;' and now to the business man,
"Vote for me because the business in
terests of the State are entitled to a
governor, and I am business man,
and so forth and so on until every one
of the multifold interests and whims
of the people are appealed to.
Be not deceived!. The man who asks
to be governor of this great common
wealth because he is one of, and will
protect the interest of any one contin-
gency Of the suffrage of his state, ad-
mits, in so doing, that he is unfit for
the Office he seeks. It is high time
that the hue and cry about 81 am the
farmer s friend' should fall upon deaf
ears. The man who is really the friend
of another man, doesn't generally ad-
vertise to the world that friendship.
The man who would be farmer 3 gov
ernor any more than he would be the
candle stick makers governor, would
be traitor to his state; and the man
who would be candle-stick maker e
governor any more than he would be
a corporation 8 governor would be the
same type of despicable creature. II
will be sad day for this Tarheelia OF
ours when the man that lives in that
mansion on Blount street in Raleigh
will see the interest of the people from
any one angle.
Because he owns his home, he is mo-
appealing to the real estate men will
''Vote for me because I am one o.
you;' because he owns a farm, he i
rot appealing to the farmer with 'Vot
for me for I am one Of you;'' and be
cause he is a lawyer, have you hear
of him saying to his profession "Vot
for me because I am one Of you9' No
much. And SO the brilliant Louisbur
lawyer is not going to ride to the 60,
ernorship on the farmers back, no
the business man 8 back, nor the Law
yer's back-nor anybody's back. h
is going to ride there on tremendor
majority of the votes Of his state.
He has served his state well in tn
capacity of Attorney General, and b
will serve it with added honor, admir-
ton and wisdom when we make hi
governor. His record is not the MAJ
reason why the people are going
elect him; it is because North Carolir
needs him and knows that he will pro-
true to the greatest trust that she c;
repose in him.

Judge Carter.

Up to yesterday the Superior Court
bench of North Carolina had faced the
probability of losing jurist who had
developed into one Of it's strong
est factors and adornments. The
announced decision of Judge Frank
Carter to withdraw from the contest
for the nomination for Attorney Gener
al removes that probability and assures
retention of his valuable services to
the State as a Superior Court judge.
Judge Carter s decision was prompted
by sense Of loyal friendship to Judge
Manning, recent entry for the nomi-
nation and in making public his inten-
ton to give way in favor Of his friend,
Judge Carter manifests sentiments Of
an admirable character There could
scarcely be anything finer than the
expression of the feelings animating in
the heart of Judge Carter in the ad-
mission of his ''incapacity to combat
with an adversary wrapped in the ar

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Carter ard Manning.
Somehow we have a suspicion that
the manner of Judge Carter's with
drawal has left Judge Manning's
friends in frame Of mind none too
happy. Under the circumstances the
only decent thing for Carter to do was
to withdraw; but Manning's gener-
osity in forcing such a decision upon
the Asheville man is not impressive.
Carter was there first. It is hard to
believe that Manning could not have
prevented his entry with a word; but
it is harder to justify his course in
allowing Carter to go ahead until he
had first-rate chance for the nomina-
up-and then forcing him to come down.
It is difficult to perceive the political
advantage of such a method At best,
Manning enters under handicap,
nouncing his withdrawal has increased,
rather than diminished. Manning S
candidacy seems little unfair. Per
haps the fact that he is better known
to the voters than any other candidate
now in the race may be sufficient to
overcome that feeling, but it is by no
means certain. Speculation is inevita
BILE, and suspicion that the attorney
generalship may not be the grand
prize after all is already in the air
none of which helps Manning's candi-
dacy.
When all is said and done, Carter is
the man who comes out best, in the es-
timation of the man on the fence. He
has paid his debt, promptly and cheer
fully: but nobody who has the slight
est acquaintance with the situation is
deceived into the belief that it's pay
ment did not cost the judge a ire
mendous price He has built the Struc-
ture Of his hopes to a towering height,
and as the primaries drew closer their
foundation was apparently growing
more and more solid; to strike them
down may have been necessary, but it
could not have been pleasing task.
Carter has gained sympathy as well as
respect.-Greensboro News.
