has been q bitter but cautious critic

Of this fiscal year by the largest New

Garner and other conservatives to

very odd coincidence has arisen.
In the summer of 1913, at this identi-
cal time, and under the vexations alb
sentee ballot act which was applied
that year for the first time, arose the
celebrated acknowledgement contest
growing out of the defeat of Charles
Laban Abernethy by Colonel w. T.
Dortch, United States marshal.
Abernethy had been running a long
time, had campaigned so widely that
everybody knew he wac nominated
without the performance of miracle.
Colonel Dortch did not wish to run
but Senator Simmons, Chairman
Thomas D. Warren, Justice William
r. Allen, Judge Frank A. Daniels
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-08-29

and numerous friends thought it his
duty to stop Abernethy. Colonel
Dortch had but a brief time to race
He made a magnificent try and by a
narrow margin got the nomination.
Abernethy undertook every legal re-
straint. He moved in sundry places
end succeed in a slight interruption
but in every instance the courts were
finally against him and he lost the
nomination. Colonel Dortch died be-
fore election day, died it seems, OF
the day that his son CASTOR was kill
cd in action with the Germans.
The odd thing is the time. Exactly
20 years ago this Abernethy-Dortch
war was raging. The world conflict
quite backed it off the boards, bu.
even with a World War and a vic
torious American participation in it,
Abernethy made news. 1t is inter-
esting to recall that the Dortch posi-
ton in that fight was the exact predi-
cate which Ehringhaus chose in pre-
senting the case for Burgin. The
power of the State board to go into
the primary was denied and the board
did not try. In that view the SUI
preme Court of the day undoubtedly
agreed and one of the amusing as
poets of the fight was the position
OF the Ra eigh News and Observer.
It ribbed Abernethy world without
end and demanded that he come into
court and tell where he got the money
on which he made his race for the
nomination. The paper stood square
ly against him in the courts. 1t was
dead against the aspersions which
Abernethy cast upon the officials in
the primary.
The paper has declared Chairman
w. A. Lucas to be a man of great
courage in going into the conduct OF
the recent primary and has stung
Governor Ehringhaus for making
arguments that sounded mighty like
the ratiocinations of the Old Reliable
in those by-gone days.
More recently, however, the paper
has spoken of the power of the En-
ringhaus argument in the present
case Editorially, it doubts that the
issue should have been raised as to
the boards power. Quite amusing.y,
it was lifted by the great Raleigh
daily back in those World War days.
And Judge Harris is having some.

dents which scam fO no ho1nino him

President Roosevelt is on the march

State Federation Of Labor doesn't ap-
near now to have man of suitable

Mr.. Wilson was named a member
