no getting away from the fact tina
they do exist in fact.
Another report which is meeting
no denial is that there has been a
clear cut gain by Lee Gravely in the
last week or ten days. The Rocky
Mount mans ardent support OF the
North Carolina for Roosevelt
movement has made him votes,
there's no getting away from it.
OF all the principals in the race
none is more sincerely convinced
outWardly al least-that he is Win
ner than is this same GraVeiy.
GraVely is not in the least disturb
ed by reports that it's "Broughton,
Horton and MAXWELL. He appears to
feel that the loud noise being made
for the so-called Big Three" comes
exclusively from the Threats OF poll
teal workers.
He disclaims being politician
himself and freely admits that there
is no great nucleus of professional
politicians among his supporters. Hc
counts on the quiet support OF thouS-
ands Of people who ne says are gong
to vote for him without going around
yelling it from the hOuetOpS.
Headquarters for Maxwell are not
doing much high and fancy claiming.
State Manager Burgin Pencil and
his aides will point out, with or with
out request, that the Maxwell
strength is stable and solid-of such
nature that the great bulk OF 1t
cannot be taken away under any con-
ceivable shift Of the political winds.
They contend that this, together with
such additions as they will be able
to make between now and May %,
will put the Commissioner OF Rev
enue safely in the second primary.
There is no appearance OF panic
in the BroughtOn headquarters. State
Manager E. B. Denny and others
have not been stampeded by constant
dining Of the reported Horton gains.
They profess to be entirely confid-
ent Of the ultimate issue and there's
no doubling the fact that they fully
expect their favorite to be far in
front in the first primary.
If Tom Cooper's sound truck cam
paign is making any Roadway the
fact has not been reported TO RAJ
leigh; but here it is well to observe
caution in making any deductions
because it is UNANIMOUSLY agreed that
Cooper has no strength among the
regular politicians and they are the
ones who do practically all the talk
ing around the state capital.
Perhaps it would be well to re-
member that fact in reading this
whole piece, which must of necessity
be based on the reports which have
reached the ear OF your Raleigh re-
porter. The reports have been passed
along as received, but whether they
are Completely authentic is quite an
other question.

ton they were successful battles. IN
the campaign of 1894 the Populist
movement swept the Democrats out
of power in North Carolina and
placed the state government in the
hands of the Republicans, many OF
whom were Negroes.
The Democrats then turned to SIM
mons who was practlclng law at New
Bern. He was chosen chairman OIL
the State Democratic Committee, put
together strong organization and
won 4 striking victory in the cam
paign Of 1898. AS 4 reward his party
elected him United States Senator in
1900 and repeatedly returned him to
the upper house Of Congress. Almost
from the beginning of his service in
the Senate his counsel and advice
were sought on legislation advocated
by his party. For many years he was
the ranking Democrat on the Finance
Committee and was chairman Of the
committee from 1918 to 1919.
Mr.. Simmons was elected IN 1856
to the Fiftieth Congress as represen-
tative from the Second North Caro-
lima district and at the expiration OF
his term returned to the practice OF
law. In 1893 he was appointed col
lectOr OF internal revenue for the
Eastern District of North Carolina
ana served during the second ad-
miniStration Of President Grover
Cleveland
The Senator was born in Jones
County, North Carolina, January 70,
1854. He was educated at Wake For
est College and Trinity College (noW
Duke University being graduated
from the latter in 1873. He then took
up the study Of law and was admitted
to the bar in 1873. Trinity College
and the University Of North Carolina
conferred upon him the honorary de
gree of doctor Of laws.
In 1875 Senator Simmons married
Miss Eliza Hill Humphrey. They had.
three children. Mrs. Simmons died in
1883 and on July 20, 1886, the sena-
tor married Miss Belle Gibbs. Two
children were born Of that marriage.

among the most enthusiastic Horton
hackers, who assigned him better
than fourth place in the sunrise sec

figured he'd beat out only Arthur
Simmons in the balloting east Of Ra-

From the West and Piedmont, too,
there is almost unanimous agreement
that Horton is gaining; the chief con-

these gains. Strong Broughton par

That would require a few more

Someone was knocking on the

1 stopped on the bottom step
frozen by the horror of my predic,
