THE DANBURY REPORTER. VOLUME XL THE BULL MOOSEPS WILL THF.Y PUT OUT TICKET? Movement Originates At Walnut Cove Circular Letter Being Mailed By L. G. Lewis In Order to Secure Straw Votes. There is said to be a small de gree of excitement in Stokes county Republican ranks con cerning the Progressive move ment which has been started at Walnut Cove, looking to the for mal organization of a third party and the nomination of a Bull Moose county ticket. The move ment seems to have its strongest following at Walnut Cove, Ger manton, King and other places in the southern part pf the county. J. A. IVtree, R. P. Joyce. J. Will Kast. L. G.Lewis. John W. Kurfees and others are the leaders. One day last week Messrs. Petree and Joyce visited Danbury for the purpose, it is said, of getting a mailing list of Stokes county Republicans to whom a circular letter is lieir.g mailed by L. G. Lewis defining the position of the Bull Moosers and inviting an expression of sentiment from others of the Progressive faith in the county. Below is published a copy of the circular as issued by Mr. Dewis. The rial strength of the Pro gressives in this county is not known definitely. To secure this information appears to be the purpose of the Lewis circu lar. Chairman of the Republi can Executive Committee C. M. Jones does not regard the Bull Moosers at all seriously. He tells the Reporter that they are few in number and that their ac tivities will not hurt the regular county Republican tickit. Others believe there are several hundred of the B. M.'s scattered over the county, and that should they or ganize. they would hold the bal ance of power. The Lewis circular letter is as follows : "Walnut Cove. Aug 21. "Dear sir : "I am enclosing you copy of the resolutions as adopted by the Republican State Exec. Com. which met in Greensboro, N. C., August 7, 1012. and respectfully ask that you read them very carefully. "I wish to say that I am an old man and have grown gray in the' causj of the Republican party in 1 the State, and I have never been | a federal office holder, nor have I ever asked for an office of any kind, and the few comments, that I shall make relative to these resolutions as adopted by the State Executive Committee are from an honest motive. "This committea, by its arbi trary power, defines just what a man has got to do in the coming election in order to ever again, i according to these resolutions, ( have any voice in the Republican party in its meetings in precinct, | county, congressional or State. 1 It makes no difference how good a Republican you have been in the past, nor how loyal you have been to the party, if you do not promise to conform to the rule of the Republican State Executive Committee, which is composed of j 22 men. you are read out of the 1 party. In other words this com mittee says that you have no right to help name even your county Republican candidates j unless you will promise to do as! directed in the resolution en- j closed. "Now this is taking away a man's personal liberty. They say to the 115,000 Republican vo ters of this State, that you have got to vote as we say vote, or you can never again be admitted to any of the Republican coun cils. It makes it incumbent upon you to vote for one man whom they say you must vote for, or you are no longer a Re publican. This action of the committee in my judgment is wholly wrong, and after a con ference with a numberof Repub licans of the county. I am writ ing to 500 other Republicans in the county in order to get an ex pression or straw vote of this number as to whether they do or do not approve the resolutions as i laid down for us by the State Kx ■ ecutive Committee. | "This action being forced upon l the Republican voters of the 'State. I now feel that it is time that every Republican voter in the State should take a stand ei ther tV-r or against those resolu tions, and 1 am enclosing you stamped envelope and two forms of reply, anil I would thank you for an expression either for or iagainst these resolutions, also for further comment upon same if you should feel so disposed to write. Should the enclosed ! forms not meet with your appro val I will thank you for such ex pression as you may see fit to give. Thanking you f;-r a rej 1 , I beg to remain "Very respectfully. "L. G.

The Democrats of Stokes coun ty will meet at Dan bury next Saturday fur the purpose of nominating a county and legis lative ticket, which will be pre sented to the voters next fall. There is a strong indication that the crowd in attendance at this meeting will be the largest for a number of years, owing to the increased interest taken in poli tics by the Democrats, which results from the serious split in the ranks of the Repuplicans.
