(Continued From Page Five) fitness as a Democratic member of the Board of Elections- of New Han over county. Before answering them singly, If shall give you a brief re sume of our political history. "Since 1898 the county has been un formly Democratic. There has, with one exception, 'not been a Republi can county ticket since that time. The Republican vote has been neglibile never reaching more than 150 votes in a State or county election. "The Independent Club was organ ized about a year ago. It was never intended to be a political organiza tion. However, the club endorsed several candidates, who had entered the Democratic primary. The club Invited to membership all erood citi- dens who had the welfare of thecom munity at heart. It expressly - an nounced in its constitution and by laws tlfat it was a non-partisan or ganization. Its platform stood for bet terment of material conditions in Wil mington. It is strictly a local af fair this Independent Club. I ap pend herewith a copy of the platform of the Independent Club marked Ex hibit 'A. The membership was over 99 1-2 per cent. Democrats. At pres ent the club has not a Republican In its membership. "Needless to say Mr. Carr Is not a member of the Independent Club. Shortly after our organization Mr. Carr was instrumental in organizing the moralist's into what he presumed to call the Democratic Club. Mr. Carr's crowd made a great holler about Republicans controlling the In dependent Club. The Democratic Club endorsed certain candidates among whom were -some who had formally been violently opposed by Carr's crowd and bad been identified with the liberal elements that composed the Indepen dent Club. This; unnatural alliance created by the Democratic Club was the result of a deal pulled off in the previous mayoralty election. It is true that many of the candidates endorsed by the Independent Club f were elect ed notably Mr. 'Brooke G.5 Empie, can didate for Recorder. Surely Kmpie's Democracy has never bceh questioned. Yet the so-called Democratic Club was loud in its opposition to ' Empie. Re member that it was a Democratic pri mary campaign to which Mr. Carr's charges refer. "But Mr. Carr has ampl. prece-i dent, for fluestioninsr - the Democracy of pther. Mr W. J. -Bryan, 'himself , I as recently as 1912 questioned tne Democracy of 'such leaders as y Mr. Champ Clark. Mr. Harmon. Mr. ! mont, Mr. Byan and others. 'So' you see ii ts- rathrgod- farms -v .---r "The Independent s Club candidate for Recerder polled in the neighbor hood of 1,500 votes. The total vote was normal. Empie's vote was there fore some 1,300 .votes more than the Republican vote:.- This proves' con clusively thaf the- Independent Club is composed almost? entirely of Demo-, crats. v ; "It was well expressed by a candi date in the primaties that 'all the Democracy In New Hanover county was not contained in the membership of the so-called Democratic Club. "Ad now to the o -herges: "1. I admltx that I am secretary of the Independent Club, 'it' is "a fact that Mr. Louis Goodman, who .has Na tional Republican affiliations, entered the Democratic primary as a candidate for county solicitor and received more than 1,000 votes that being 800 more than the normal Republican vote. "2. It is a fact that Mr. , R. C. DeRossett, who has voted the National Republican ticket, was . president of the Independent Club. Mr. DeRossett has never voted anything except the local Democratic ticket and was for . a long time a Democratic member of the Board of Elections. ' Mr. Carr's statement that Mr. DeRossett 'usually votes the local and State Democratic ticket does not cover the whole truth and is intended to prejudice my cause. "3. It Is true that Mr. Thomas E. Wallace was vice president of the Independent Club, . Is a regular Re publican., but took no part in the pri maries and did not vote. "4. It is true that Mr. William Struthera was treasurer of the Inde pendent Club and is a Republican mem ber of the County Board of Elections; he has always voted the Republican National ticket ,but has been active in local. Democratic politics and has always supported candidates in local Democratic primaries. The statement Mr. Struthera 'has never professed any other political affiliations'-is erroneous and does not square, with the facts. "5. It Is true that Mr. Louis Good man "has always been a regular Re publican but has been active in lo ci Democratic primaries in the same manner as set forth concerning Mr. Struthers. The statement that Mr. Goodman has 'repeatedly been a del egate not only to the County Repub lican Convention, but to . the State Republican Convention, but to the State Republican Convention," is untrue. Mr. Giodman states that he has never been a delegate. It is true that the Independent Club endorsed him as can didate for county solicitor in the Demo cratic primary in oposition to Mr. George L. Peschau, the candidate of Mr. Carr's club.

Chad bourn votes the National Republican ticket and was a member of the In dependent Club. The statement that 'he may have occasionally voted for Democrats lically' is only half true. Substitute the word always for oc casionally and the situation will be straightened out. "7. The next charge has been an- ! swered in the foregoing. "8. Mr. Carr makes much of the fact that the Republicans recently held their county convention In the hall of the Independent , Club. This charge is prejudiced and absurd. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to state that the Republicans asked the use of the hall for their meeting and the cour tesy was extended and they paid for it. If I, like Mr. Carr, could ven ture Into the realms of absurdity, I would mention that during the last campaign Mr. Carr's club and the Independent Club used the same hall on. various, occasion.' The statement that 'these Republicans " are actively supporting Mr. Price' in this fight is erroneous- and untrue. Th further statement 'that Mf. Iredell Meares, who was the Republican nominee for Gov ernor two years ago, has stated that he represents Mr. Price In the event litigation arises out of this appoint ment,', is untrue as far as I know. I have not. even spoken to Mr. Meares about the matter. "I have always voted the Demo- craltc ticket. I insist that if Mr. Carr's charges are not Intended .to deceive, then they but merely , becloud the lo cal Demorcratic '--situation and are hightly prejudicial ajftd wildly absurd. l cnauenge nis vanacK upon my hitherto unquestioned .Democracy. charge that this attack upon me is the result of a purely Jocal factional nght witmn toe rail ks -or tne uemo cratic party. "Respectfully, "JOSEPH A. PRICE." Mr. MttfeStatment The statement made by Mr. Little before the Board last evening was as follows: . "I was requested x' by '.the" Chairman of the State" .Democratic- party. . to' submit names; as recommendations for; the Board of Elections df. New f Han over County.' At - that:' time I . was thoroughly conversant' with . the .fact that we, had ; had . local factional dif ference, and' I conceived it to "be my duty as -Chairman .f -the-Exectuive Committee: of New Hanover to at least make an effort to conciliate tne . fl-; f erences - which, ha,4 arisen within . the democratic .tanks.; .ToVthat end I recommended at the had of the : list Mr. H. S. McGlrt and Mr. Joseph A. Price," with" thS" full '-expectation- that they-would be ".'appointed! ' 'It is now history, that; these gentle men. , were appointed. . Subsequent . to thev rie'WBpaper .announcement of ;their; appointment, nowever, x was insu ed by the Secretary of the State Board of Elections to personally notify them of. their aaid. appointment. I there, upon directed a notification to the gen tlemen named, requesting them to per sonally appear .nd receive., their ap pointment. The notification was mail ed to Mr. Price, but not to .'Mr Mc Glrt for the reason that he had. al ready declined to serve. . Ialso made repeated . efforts to communicate with Mr. Price but failed in my efforts to see or hear from him. In the mean time, however, arid without knowledge on my part, Mr. Price received a certificate from the Secretary of the State Board of Elections direct. "Before Mr. Price was appointed I appealed to him to agree .that Mr. Mc Glrt be made the Chairman of the Board of Election, and I felt in mak ing this appeal that Mr. McGlrt rep resented a larger Taction in the demo cratic party than Mr. Price did. Mr. Price did not consent to do so, but I had promised Mr. D. N. Chadwick, Jr., to recommend Mr. Prlcfj, and I did so. As a result Mr. McGlrt and Mr. Price were appointed. "After the announcement in the pa pers of Mr. Price's appointment by the State Board of Elections, I have later been informed that I was criti cised by various and sundry persons for my action In the matter. I was also informed that an effort would be made to have Mr. Price removed on account 6f his connection . with the In-i depenent Club and his affiliation with Republicans in this community. I made an effort to see Mr .Price but could not find him. I then sent for Mr. Chadwick, who -came to my oflSc for a conference about the matter. I stat ed to Mr. Chadwick that I had ap pointed Mr. Price,'With the Idea of be ing fair to all elemnntR .nf.thA -I but that serious objection was behij maae to the appointment. I further statea that it was my belief that an eiiort wouw be made to remove Mr, Price, but having appointed hii Wished to see him remain on the Board. I suggested to Mr. Chadwick that If ivir. trice would cousent to make Mr. McGlrt, or the other democratic meiti ber of the Board the Chairman of the same, and himself take the Secretary ship, that I thought the parties ob jecting to his appointment would take no further action in the matter. Mr. Chadwick saw Mr. Price and reported to me that he (Mr." Price) would take the matter under advisement and let me know later. I have never heard what the decision was to this day. "In the meantime I was asked if I could not do something to have Mr. Price removed on account of his af filiations with the Independent Club. I emphatically stated that I could not, and for the reason that I was aware of his connection with the Independent Club before I made the appointment. I stated that it would not be consis tent for me to oppose Mr. Price on that ground. "However, it became apparent to me that Mr. Price did not wish to lend me the p roper co-operation as a demo cratic official of the county. "On August 23rd I received a tele gram from Mr. Underwood, which, with the answer thereto is givon- below. Fayetteville, N. C, Aug. 25, 1914. "Hon. Jos. W. Little, Wilmington, N. C.
