that, out of all of the actual, pros,
nective or tentative candidates thus
far known, there is but one man
who comes most nearly being the
ideal candidate. . My selection does
not carry with it any implication
of lack t)f ability; deartn of char
acter or capability to campaign ,ou
the part of any other man. We
have many, many men who would
and could do most admirably under
ordinary conditions. Bat this
present opportunity demands more
than ordinary attention and a man
somewhat out of the usual.
I further believe that the rank
and file of the Democratic party in
McDowell county are alert to the
opportunity and are holding very
much the same view of the situation
as the writer. I have sufficient in
formation at first band to warrant
this belief.-
Also from opinions expressed
and assertions made, I am con
vinced that not only are the bojaw
swinging into'line.for'ao 'bid-time
democratic victory but there are
many, many - votes coming to . us
from the republican ranks. Right
thinking men, even in the rush of
party politics do not approve of
'war on women and especially on
'widows."
- My selection, and throne most
logical, and most nearly in full ac
cord with a careful canvass of the
county from many reliable sources,
is that of Hon. J.'M. Gudger, Jr.,
of Asheville, clean of heart, of re
cord,, proved strength, -acquainted
with the how" of things in Om-
cress, a brilliant 'campaigner and
a splendid ;democrat to; rally to.
lie not only is ray choice but will
come very nearly representing the
choice of 250 Democratic .majority
in McDowell at least if be is aa he
ought to be the nominee of our
party. . . - .
