their nomination papers expired, an
all during the evening there was a
air of suppressed excitement as tn

lcentered around the Democrat

T. Sangston Insley having announC
ed that he could not accept the nom

The name of Mr.. Leroy L. Wal

he learned that Mr.. Insley had de

From the above it will be appar
ent at glance that there is con
test for nearly every position on the
ticket. The indications are that the
contest will be very hard tough,
one, for upon it's outcome will prob
ably depend the political career O
quite a number of Republicans wh(
are now prominent in county poll
tics. The defeat or withdrawal o
Edward S. Phillips from the contes
for State Senator will mean his elm
ination as factor in county politics
whereas the success of Mr.. Phillips
and the success of Mr.. Andrews II
getting control of the State Centra
Committee will mean the complet'
elimination of those forces which 70,
merly followed the leadership o.
Governor Goldsborougn.
While Governor Goldsborough l
at this time generally admitted to b.
the strongest Republican in tn
State, and the most popular man u
his party, his popularity being sucl
that it is doubtful il the Jackson
Weller combine would dare oppos
him in the primaries were he a can
didate, many of those who formerl
followed his leadership in Dorches
ter politics, have Joined the oppos
| ing faction since he left the county
Should the former Governor dec1o
to re-enter politics, as many Dei1eF
he will, and return to Dorcheste
county, it would be quite interestin
to hear some of the leaders expla1
their present attitude.
One thing that the contests hav
dcne is to swell the receipts OF tn
Election Supervisors Office, the SUI
of $665 being received from candl
dates who are running for Office
which pay salary.
