Charges that both the spirit and letter

Total 165,000
But it will doubtless be asked why
Clark is plt>.ced sj low and Simmons so
high in the division of the total. In
reply to this, I would say, as to Clark,
his candidacy has never neen seriously
considered since the opening by the
campaign; he is handicapped by the
almost universal belief that he is not
in the race; and it may be doubted if
nis most enrhusiastic friends can place
before them a county map of North
Carohna and, aft^r a careful examina
tion, stick a pin in a single county that

The American Inquisition.
New York He.T«>ld.
A crack-brained congress has placed
regarding the clause in the posta
appropriation bill r'quirin-? ‘‘publicity”
of the private concr-rns of newspapers.
The measure is a mc'^rVesome, inquis'-
tive, socialistic and unconsf.tutional
attempt to br'.ng newspapers under
control of the government just as t'le
railroads are now under conti'ol.
So far as .The Herald is concerned
it does not cai-e a snap about the law,
except as it invades a great principle.
This newspaper never prints any
reading matter for pay, it has no debts,
no outstanding bonds; s» 11s no stock.
But what has congress to do with
the question whether a newspaper
prints matter that is paid for? what
both his opponents.
The estimate for Simmons is based
partly on advices received (through
corxcspordence) from leading Demo
crats in many sections of the Scate
and partly on Simmons’ ability as a
political organizer. Biio the greut, the
underlying factor in favor of Simmons
is the deep-rooted conviction in the
minds oftensof thousands of intel'igent
and thoughtful Democrats that he has
made an able, honest, faithful and
useful representative of his people.
Nor do they overlook the fact that his
long experience in the Senate counts
largely in his favor. Hence they
