EARLY CONVENTION.
Mr. Unerjr doc on Record Aspir
ant! for Office Should Annoamce
Themselves.
Mr. Editor: I see an article in
your last issue, in regard to the
time for holding our county con
Tentioa to nominate our candidates
for the county officers.
I wish, to go on . record in favor of
an early convention say the mid
dle of J a ly. I see some of the coun
ties have already held their conven
tions and placed their tickets in
the field and I can see no reasonable
argument against an early conven
tion for Kandolph while there is
room for argument agaitst a late
one.
Under our old system of a late
convention. Those who were fortu
nate enough to secure the nomina
tion for office, barely had time to
have their Sunday shirt washed be
fore they had to go out on the cam
paign. Ami those who got defeated,
did not have time to let the old
sores heal up before the election.
There are many reasons, I think
in favor of an early convention but
I shall not use your valuable space
to enumerate them now, but let us
try an early convention on'.' time and
see how it will work.
I would, like to see every aspirant
for ottice come out in a card in the
Courier and let us know what they
.want, so w-fCaii select the ones we
thin a the strongest, best, most com
petent aiul worthy men. We can't
find the men we think deserving the
honor we will go back to the farm
or among the business class and se
lect men we think can c irrythe party
to victory.
The KfiuiMiiund will make a
strong li.ir lit in Kandolph, and we
shonfd ni'a. ke no mistake in the se
lection uf our candidates. Put out
;i stniiic ticket of srooil men, (and
we have plenty of them) then go to
work and olec't them.
