The Courier "PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C HAMMER, EDITOR Asheboro, N. G, August 19, 1915. " FOR MR. BICKETT . The woods was full of candidates for the Democratic nomination for Governor a month ago, but they have narrowed down to Attorney General Bickett and Lieutenant Governor Daughtridge. Both of these gentle men are splendid types of North Car olinians, and both would make ac ceptable Governors but Bickett is at present a long way in the lead and is gaining strenght each day and it would not surprise us any day to see him given an open field. Bickett is popular with all the dis cordant elements in the party and it would be the part of wisdom to nomi nate him as it would unify and solid ify the party and completely wipe out all the differences engendered by the late Senatorial contest It now looks like it will be Govern or Bickett.
