Smith - for postmaster, A ; you squelched or are you runnlnaT" "I am Tunning.'! aald Mr, Spence. as he drew a petition, pea'rlnc the names of many leading business men of city. '.? yon will sea from , 1 this.?1!' ' Thera Is not a bit of doubt but that the Republican factions of this county are faclnr each other with ' shining- teeth and quivering lips. Mr. Bpence and hla friends, are after the '- scalp of Mr. smitn. , Those who keep informed on polltl cal affalra will recall that this same J. 8. Spence was about the only out snoken friend that Chairman Adams, -f -the -iiepublican SUte executive committee, had" hefeTn his contert ; with J Blackburn. After a certain , stage in that famous fight Spence re tired In disgust and remained in statuo quo. He Is a quiet, peaceful ynan, who makes strong friends wherever he goes. In his effort to get the postofflce he will have the support ' of many of Ihe best people of the city. "Mr. Smith also has friends. His petition is signed by prominent busi-- ness men. It is believed here that Chairman Adams will do what he can for Mr. 8pence, for it is known that he Is not , especially stuck on the local organiza tion. ' , The indorsement of Mr. Smith by the executive committee of the county caused considerable comment yester day and some merriment "Did the Republicans of the Meck lenburg machine do Postmaster Smith a kindness or not, when they met yes terday and Indorsed him?" asked an observant politician. "That is one of the more recent problems of the age," said ft news paper man. "it struck me that way. If my memory serves me correctly. Chair man Spencer B. Adams did not have tout one friend in this county when he was being followed so closely by the late E. Spencer Blackburn. Now, I want to know if he is expected to urge the President to re-appolnt Mr. Smith for the reason that the local machine Republicans have recom mended him? Do yeu recall the struggle here between the Adamsltes and the Blackburnltes before the last Republican SUte convention? If you do, you will wonder where the Adamites were." ' "I know that they were not in evi dence." said the reporter. "You are right about that; that Is why I do not se through the Indorse ment of Mr. Smith by the exocutlve committee. It is said In certain cir cles tit Adams likes Hmlth urul that Smith coughs every time the State committee calls. The postmaser had that much Mart.' "All this l true, but such Is life In the Republican party hore. I saw ne member of the committee, stand ing on the sidewalk, a far off. looking through the window, yesterday, afraid to go In, through for that the meet ing was packed." "J. H. Spence Is still In the rsce for postmaster and several fellows, here and elsewhere, would like to be Installed In that good, soft berth at the United States mint. Thty tell me that Col. W. 8. Pearson, of Mor ganton, would like to have Col. Pope's shoes. You know I have often won dered why the Slate committee did not Import a lot of mountain Republi cans Into Mecklenburg."
