Bobsson County Loan and Trust Company, Tbe Logical and Ideal Candidate and the Democratic Party Would Make no Mistake In Se lecting Him as Its Standard Bearer. Thomas D. Warren in Rale'gh News and Ob server. To the Editor: As an eastern Democrat who has not forgotten the many years of magnificent service rendered the Democracy of North Carolina by LockeCraig, I desire to give expression to my views in support of his Candida cy. I have no unkind word for any of the other aspirants, as I believe they are gentlemen of high character and worthy of the confidence of the people of North Carolina. Too often in the ad vocacy of a political favorite's cause, in tbe heat of excitement, we say things, which after reflec tion, we deeply deplore. I do not believe lr. Kitchin, Mr. Horne or Mr. Craig expects or desires his friends to besmirch the character of his opponent and the man that does it is too contemptible to belong to the Democratic party. No man is worthy to be Gov ernor of North Carolina, who would secure this high office by insinuations, innuendos or min imizing the virtues of his adver saries. We need nademagagueas Gov ernor of this great State. And that man whose candidacy is based upon an appeal to tbe pas sions and prejudices of the igno rant, whose object is to array class against class, poverty against property, whose purpose is to inspire opposition and antag onism in the minds of the voters against the organization of their party, such a mm is a public enemy. I believe Locke Craig is the log ical candidate for Governor. I believe he is an ideal candidate and that the Democratic party would make no mistake in selecting him a its standard-bearer. He is competent, he is deserv ing and he comes from a section of the State that deserves recog nition. Conceding that sectional con siderations should count in the selection of tbe chief executive of the State, I contend from this standpoint the choice of the: mountain Democracy should be nominated. Not but once since the war has the Democratic par ty gone west of the Fifth Con gressional district for its Gov ernor and then the honor was conferred on Tance, who at that time resided in Mecklenburg county. The fact is that not since the war has this section from which Cra! comes beem honored with the nomination. More than this every candidate for this Irish office frtn western North Carolina since the war, ex cept Vance, that has received any substantial support has been a resident of'.the Fifth district. Is it unreasonable to urge that that great section of North Carolina that lies west of the Fifth dis trict be entitled to recognition at the hands of the Democratic par ty once every thirty yearsfl know in former years it has been the precedent of the party to altenate between the east and the west in the selection of the nominee for Governor. rlhe tendency of re cent years is to confine V:e party as near the dividing line as pos sible, and if this tendency be not checked, eastern and western North Caroiina will Hot be recog nized, but our gubernatorial tim- W.McLcaa, Stephen Mclntyre, C.

If sectional considerations are to division for the party to ob serve is the desire for the parly to observe is the geog-apr.ical di vision -eastern, central and west ern North Carolina. According to this division Craig is the most available condidate. Eightyears ago Aycock was nominated from the east, four years ago central North Carolina was honored in the nomination of our present Governor.RTB. Glenn. Western North Carolina now asks , that this high honor be conferred on her favorite son, Locke Craig. The nomination of Loeke Craig wuld be wise party policy, as it ROBESONIAH BUSINESS BUILDERS. would justly recognize a section of the Slate composed of as loyal and self sacrificing Democ racy as exists anywhere in the borders of North Carolina. The app ais f rom the negro ridden counties of Eastern North Carolina to the Western Deinoc racy was not made in vain aud the assistance the Eastern Dem ocracy recei v ed d u rin a those dark days from their Western breth ren ought never to be forgotten and in my judgment this would be a most fitting occasion for th Eastern Dem jcracy to show their appreciation for assistauc ren dered them in that awful hour, for iu honoring Locke Craig, the favorite and choice of the West ern Democracy, you would in part repay them for their loyalty and self sacrifice. From the standpoint of party service, Craig's nomination would be a just recognition of the many years of faithful and effeel ive work for the party by a man who, lor twenty years, has been canvassing North Carolina for the Democratic party. I make this assertion without fear of suc cessful contradiction. Locke Craig has done more work for the Democratic party in North Carolina than any man in the estate who has not been reward ed. Craig's friends do not claim the Democratic party is under obligations to him, but I want to say that I do not belong to - that class of Democrats who are to day endeavoring to minimize the services rendered the party in the dark days of Republican misrule, by such men as Sim mons, Ajcock, Glenn aad Craig. The Democratic voters, should not forget that in three Presi dential eections Locke Craig can vassed the State as Presidential Elector.once as a Cleveland Elec tor and twice as a Bryan Elector. For twenty years or more his ser vices have been at the eommand of the Democratic party and al though he was a man of limited means he left his work and at a great pecuniary sacrifice to him self he gave his time and servic es to the Democratic party.pay- ing hi own" expenses wherever he went. How many counties in Eastem North Carolina that Craig did not visit? I venture to say very fow. Locke Craig has labored all these years with a zeal and 2evo tionffor tbe principles of Democ racy that challenge our admira lion, and now his friends think a generous and appreciative Dem ocracy should honor him. It was my privilege to serve in the Legislature with Lock Craig and there I learned to admire and appreciate him. His record as a legislator is well-known. He was one of the most iniu entialand prominent members of the Legislature that passed the constitutional amendment that meant so much to the eastern counties. His apeeeh in tbe General Assembly in support of the constitutional amendment and his campaign for the amend ment in 1900 should live in the memory of our people. The part that LockeCraig took in the passage and adoption of the amendment that liberated the white people of Eastern Nerth Carolina from the curse of negro domination cannot be overesti mated. Having been born and reared in Eastern North Caro lina, haviag canvassed almost ev ery county in the East, hi knew what our people had to "Contend with and so with the W estern Democrats, wtio were not afflicted with negro rule and thereforenot amendment, the eause of the negro-ridden counties of the East and wielded a mighty influ ence in persuading the Western Democracy to come to the relief of Eastern North Carolina. Craig is an Eastern man living in Westerei Nerth Carolina. He loves every inch of North Caro Una soil, but no section morethan that of his nativity, and the loyal service be has always rendered the Eastern Democracy should secure for him a warm plaee in eur hearts. - In every contest for twenty yearsLocke Craig.s eloquentvoice has been heard all overNorth Carolina in behalf of educational advancement, industrial prog ress, civic righteousness and white .-upremacy. His motto has bt en service. He has la bored lor'his friends. He has la bored for his party. He has made pecuniary sacrifices for the good of his party. He is a man of family and very limited means. In this coutest his friends will necessarily have to work for him as he does not feel he would be justified in making the pecuniary sacrifice to advance his own can didacy as he has done for the good of the party. Loede Craip desires to be remembered by thf service he has rendered in tht past rather Wy any speeches he might make in the present con test. Thomas D. Warren, Trenton, N, C.
