Politics In Stokes.
This good year of Grace,'
Nineteen Huudred Thirty.!
promises to be plentifully sea
soned with political spice and
ginger in the State of Stokes.
The local political caldron is
already at the seething stage
in some quarters. Candidates
who have heretofore been
thought to be passive and en
!ireiy in the hands ot their
friends, now appear to be ac
tive and even aggressive, and
in some cases almost warlike,
securing the country in the
search of promises of support
from friends. Much gas is be
ing burned, many babies are
being kissed, while the old-time
art of handshaking is revived,
with a vim. The weather and
the time are becoming propi
tious. The religious gather
ings are the greatest places for
the assembling of the office
hunters. Here in the open air.
where good fellowship, good:
cheer, uood food and good
friends gather on Saturdays or
Sundays, you are indeed out of
luck if you do not iind quite a
galaxy of amititious fellows
looking for votes.
The primary is no v. getting

Ihe Stokes county Demo
cratic executive committee met
:t the court hej;e here Satur
day for the put'p e largely ol
irg candidate*. Thi
1 ciy has no power nt - purpo-.
■t select candidate:- ftr the
varlc. (('.ices. I)t:t it »- t;-
torn to s.tunu out sent it .et
a; thes,.- meetings and try t -
certain the strongest cand:-
fiaies for recommendation to
the county convention, or to
induce certain available timber
to enter the primary. At Sat
urday's meeting it was the
-er.se of the Democrats present
that Sheriff John Taylor had
no opposition nor should have
any in the county convention or
primary, as he is 100 per cent,
the choice of the party. It was
the further opinion of the
committee that Elder J. Watt
Tuttle of Meadows was quali
fied to be Clerk of the Court of
Stakes County, a-.d Ihi.t he i
head and shoulder-; ; hove any
body else in strength. There
lore it was deemtd that Mr.
Tuttle owes it to his party, to
his friends and to himself to
enter (he primary for this im
portant office... It was found
that two candidates were be-
fore the people for the office
of member of the Lower House
of Representatives, to-wit, H.
H. Leake and Gilmer Sparger, !
both very capable and honorable
men. either of whom would fill
this position with credit and j
honor. I'innix Bailey was
present, and his name being
mentioned for Register of
Deeds, the committee endorsed
him. Candidates for county
commissioners were offered
and endorsed as follows: Ellis
Stone of Pinnacle. Elder F. I*.
Stone of Asbury and Rev. J. A.
Joyce of Sandy Ridge. For
Highway Commissioners the
following gentlemen were rec-!
ommended: E. \Y. Carroll and
I
J. C. Craig. For Coroner. Dr.
Stone of King, and for Survey-|
or. I. G. Ross, of Walnut Cove.!
The Republicans of Stoke.* j
county are likewise quite ac
tive in discussing and marsh
alling candidates. For Sheriff.
Dixie Nunn. Monroe Fagg,
Jesse I'riddy. E. R. Nelson,
seem to be the timber f'rVtm
which a candidate will be !
selected. Each and all of
gentlemen have their support i
and supporters. It is expected
that in the primary, the strug
gle between the friends of
these men will be spirited.
There is always a possibility of
dark horses entering the race
at the last hour. While we
knew of nothing definite, it has
fer >enu* time been whisperc.!
that at the las? moment some
uepuhlican thought to be
stronger than cither of the
abmo cam!'dates will be enter
ed and will win the nomination.
For the Legislature. C. C.
McGee sometime since an
nounced that he was not .!
i-.ndidate. however, it is known
that Mr. McGee's friends are
bringing pressure to bear on
him to again make the race for
the office at which he was suc
ci'sslu! two years ago. It is
also learned that M. (>. Jone>
;s strongly considering legis
lative honors at the earnest
persuasion of many friends,
•tnc! while he has not yet spoken
definitely, many people believe
h>> will enter at the last mom
| enf. and if so McGee may not
enter, or vice versa, Jones may
r.ot enter if McGee does. These
are two of the youngest and
• brithfest Ivepohlicar,; of the
Mint. v. and each has man;
friends.
One of the sharpest contests
; s mor.g the Republicans is thai
between Fagg and Chilton for
Clerk of the Court. Hoth of
these gentlemen are well versed
' #
in the exigencies and
the intricacies of politics,
especially pertaining to the
office of Clerk, and each is not
i without experience in that im
| portant branch of our county
| civil government. Both are
1 able men. and each has a strong
| following, and the tilt between
j them is sure to be full of pep
and shock.
The Bailey-Simmons bout
will be very interesting. While
! he contest in Stokes is only
jt! e backwash from the great
j wave which will engulf the
j State on November 7fh, even
| locally it will have its fireworks
and its impacts and all that
: sort of thing. The Bailey
J manager in Stokes is E. O.

Cannon Ball Starts
Rolling.
The disclosures being twisted
I I
out of Bishop Cannon by the;
congressional lobby committee
in regard to the anti-Smith
money which he handled in
Virginia two years ago. ap
proving quite interesting, but
are not so interesting here as
some North Carolina dope;
would be along the same lines.
The figures showing how much
boodle was used by McNinch.
Simmons' lieutenant, to carry
North Carolina for Hoover in
the last election, would be read
with greater zest by North
Carolinians.
It appears that the Wash
ington committee has the uood
Bishop well by his whiskers
now. The milk has already
been squeezed out of him that
I one man alone sent him
000, and that this contributor
was a New York man. (Angels j
! and ministers of grace defend
| us—from Tammany?) Now. if
only one man sent the Bishop
I $65,000, wouldn't it be edifying ;
to learn what additional sums
(he Bishop received, and from
whom, and after he had spent
enouuh of this money to carry
Virginia for Hoover, how much
he used to recruit his own
private f.r!uncs on ;he Tam
many stock market, where ?!
has been proved by his own
admission that he lost a large
amount of somebody's cash in
his gambling operations. Of
course we North Carolinians
are not half so much interest
ed. however, in this Virginia
mess as we would he in a few
disclosures from .McNinch.
Simmons' lieutenant, as to how
much lucre he had left after
carry in;; North Carolina Repub
lican under the advices from
his chief, the Senator. Sim
mons himself, who is Mc-
Ninch's l.oss, could doubtless
tell us all about it. but as the
Senator's will is bigger than
the Democratic party, by the
same token we assume he is
superior to the law. ;'.nd thus
the corrupt practices act be
comes null and void when it
conflicts with the wishes of
"this our Caesar."
The Washing!;)]! lobby com
mittee is not the only organiza
tion after Bishop Cannon. His
church, through its general
conference at Dallas, is also
calling on him to appear an:i
answer to the charges of politi
cal activity unbecoming a bish
op of the .Methodist Church
South. Before it is all over,
this pious gambler, this eccles
iastical crap-shooter, this sanc
timonious Virginia political
boodle-guzzler, will doubtless
be severely unfrocked, but we
hope not until through him as
the nucleus we shall ex
pose some of the corrupt
and unlawful political methods
which were used in Virginia
and North Carolina in the last
election to defeat and humiliate
the Democrats and elect Hoov
i er.
; Senator Simmons was the
head and front of 'the gre.vt
Organization of Conscience and
Disaffection against the party
which made him, and whose
bread he had eaten for more
than 40 years. It appears that
this Organization had unlimit
ed supplies of money from
SOMEWHERE but echo
answers WHERE ? Cannon
says that $65,300 of it was sent
from Tammany, or at least
from a man who lives in Tam
many. Not more than SIO,OOO
was ever sent by the national
Democratic committee to carry
North Carolina for the Demo
cratic ticket. Such an insigni- j
licant sum when it was pitted
against the unmeasured slush
fund commanded by the Can
nons and McNinches. who
worked under orders from their
chief Simmons, didn't weigh
very heavily.
When the lobby committee
gets through with Cannon, let
it send for McNinch and make
him disgorge the information
which the people have a right
to know. Let the Corrupt
Practices act be resurrected.
