C., who two years ago introduced a resolution in the Democratic County Convention to the effect that ao office holder In the County of Beaufort from the election succeeding that convention hold office for longer than two terms. The reeolhtion as iaUoduced was passed. Doubtless the readers of this paper are tamiliar with the requests as made by lfr. Reddltt and In consequence of hie communication a Dally News representative called upon : Sheriff Ricks and Register of Deeds i Rumley for an expression as to what course they would pursue in the matter. Both of these gentlemen in sub- i stance gafe the Dally News the following statement: Rumley Silent "I have no reply to make In ane- i ( wer to "the request over the sign*- I tore of Mr. U H. Reddltt" was the j statement made tp the Dally News < by Mr. Gilbert Rumley, Register of Deeds. "I went in the office with no two term resolution pinned to me and i it la my purpose to remain in the | office just so long as the people of 1 Beaufort county wish it. I am serving the people and It is for them to \ say whea 1 shall vacate and not my- < self." Beyond the above Mr. Rum- 1 ley declined to be interviewed. W /l? ??*- ? Sheriff Ricks has been oat of the ] crtjr for the past few days and was not teen until this morning.

The Sheriff with em- ] phasis said: "No, I shall make no statement with reference to the matter. I would be a big f?1 to time my hands to satisfy those who have always been fighting me for the of- < flee. Just so long as the people want ] me I shall serve them to the best of | my ability.

It was to restrict the county officers to a two term policy, which was passed by acclamation. The true meaning of this resolution was to apply to the present "long termers." but as no law on resolution can retrograde, it is rumored the present Incumbents are claiming another term under this resolution. X have also heard from reliable sources they are not willing to be bound by this resolution. As there seems to be some misunderstanding or confusion along this line, I, as an Individual Democratic voter, having the welfare of the party and good government, more at heart than the interest of any individual candidate I think It wise for the party to Kits Messrs Rumley and Rfckg another term for the sake of peace and harmony, providing they will agree to be bound by the resolution above referred to and-In Justlc to the good people of Beaufort County, we ask through the columns of our county papers so the voters and promoters >f the said resolution will know . where they stand. I write the above with the best of feeling for all parties loncerned, but I sincerely think publie sentiment demands it. 1 have also talked with some of the candidates who are aspirant* for J the positions now held by the present officers, who state they are perfectly willing to withdraw from the contest his year, providing the above paries will make the announcement ihrough the press of the county, that ? they will be bound by the above reso- { lution. t Very respectfully, L. H. REDDITT. ? Kmolntton I'uMd Two Yean Ago. ? Resolved that rotation in office is ^ >ne of the cardinal principles of the { Democratic party; that all the peo- h pie should share equally in the emo- . uments of office so far as practicable ind that long tenure In office by any ndlvidual or set of individuals tends o weaken the strength of our party ind to create cliques and factions in * >ur party, which is injurious to the ^ party as a whole; And whereas, the K food of party is more to be desired p han the enrichment of any member a hereof. Now Therefore, Be it Resolv- h id: That we do declare ourselves In avor of no county officer holding 11 nore than two terms in succession. K . - ti jYric theater more : POPULAR CONSTANTLY ?

C., July 20.rerma of one-third of the membei if the United States Senate will e: lire next March. The present senat s composed of flfty-two Republican nd forty-three Democrats, with on acancy. Can the Democrats pick u Ive men they need to insure themco rol? Will the next election coc hem some of the seats that are noi heira? *Of the thirty-two senators whos arms Will expire in March nlnetce; re Republicans and thirteen ar emocrata. Contests are already 01 or nearly all of the seats to be mad acant. In some of the StateB th ontests already have4been decided rhile primary elections or election f legislatures within next fev lontha will settle the others. Som? t the contests promise to be excitini nd spectacular. A review of the sit atlon as existing in the difTeren ates at the present time present) inny features of interest. Taking up the list of States alpha ?tically, the first of the senatori nose terms are auout to expire ii ?ff Davis, of Arkansas. The result I the recent Arkansas primary as irea the re-election of Senator Davis Next comes Colorado, where two mators are to be elected by the leglature next winter, one to fill the icancy caused by the death of the te Senator Hughes and the other succeed Senator Guggenheim, who 111 not be a candidate for re-election le Democrats expect to control the gislature and elect two of their irty to the . senate.. Among the ?MSJBflftUon?d as probable, confutes are' Governor ' Shafroth and spresentative Rucker, Democrats, id, ex-Representative Bonynge and F. Vaile, Republicans. Delaware will choose a successor 8enator H. A. Richardson, Repuban. The Republicans believe they II be able to hold the seat, but iny politicians are inclined to tee the state in the doubtful colli n. Senator A. C. Baron, of Georgia 11 have opposition, but the indlca>ns are that he will be re-elected. Idaho Republicans believe Borah II be able to pull through, but the mocrats are confident he will give iy to one of their political faith. The fate of the veteran Shelby M. llom, of Illinois already has been; ;tled by primary. If the Republias control the next Illinois legisla-j re Senator Cullom'B successor will Lawrence Y. Sherman. In the ant of Democratic success the next I lator will be J. Hampton I^ewis. j Senator Kenyon of Iowa has been med by the Republicans to succeed | litseu. rue uemocrauc cnoice lor 5 senatorship is D. W. Hamilton. KanaaB is to be the scene of a ely scramble for the seat of Sen>r Charles Curtis, who Is a candite fo re-election. Curtitf is believto be handicapped by his vote fori rimer. His opponent on the Re-! bllcan side is Governor W. R. lbbs, the Roosevelt leader in Kani. Four Democrats are in the race the Democratic indorsement. The minations will be settled in the mary next month. Congressman Ollie James, who preed over the recent national conation at Baltimore, already has jn picked by Kentucky Democrats succeed Senator Paynter. Louisiana likewise has disposed of > senatorship contest by selecting ngressman Joseph Ransdell to sucid Senator Murphy J. Foster. Next on the list comes from Maine itch Is conceded to be doubtful by ? leaders of both parties. Obadiah rdner, Democrat, who was appointby Governor Plaisted to fill out ? unexpired term of the late Sena Frye, will come up for re-election it January. The Republicans in ? Pine Tree State feel rather consnt that the Demdcrata have done ?ir worst there and cannot come it to the extent of controlling the it legislature. Former Congreeea Edwin C. Burleigh Is the Repub? cholee for the seaatorahtp. Senator Crane, of Maseashaaetta, s of the oM guard on the Republtft side, has announced hie intenn to retire next March. Curtis Od Jr.. the American ambaaaador St. Petersburg, former governor an B. Draper and Cnagnaamaa Mc - NEV utheaat Winds. M ME OH THE 4TH nposed of Fifty -two ind [Forty-three ocrats. Call. Gardner and Weeks are among _ the prominent Republicans mentlonr8 ed to succeed him. The Democrats . jpl Massachusetts have made decided gaias the past ?wo years and they are hopeful of capturing the legislature lB next November and of sending a e member of their party to the senate to succeed Crane. So far Mayor John ** P. Fitzgerald of Boston Is the only Democrat in the field for the senatorv ship. Senator William Alden Smith la to e have formidable opposition to his candidacy for re-election to the senate i e because of his opposition to Roosevelt in Michigan. The Roosevelt men who are admittedly strong In the ? Wolverine State, are after Smith's ' political scalp. Several candidates ? are in the field for the Smith toga. ' Senator Knute Nelson, of Miinne9 sota. is still hesitating as to whether or not he will be a candidate for " re-election. The progressive Republicans are resentful of Nelson's stand In the contest between Taft and Roosevelt and if the senator comes up for re-election he is certain to meet with hot opposition. The senatorial contest in Mississippi has been settled by the selection of former Governor Vardaman to sue- : ceed Senator PercyT 1 Montana, which will name a successor to Senator Joseph M. Dixon, ' the manager of Codonel Roosevelt's 1 pre-couventldn campaign, is another ' of the States that is nlaced in ?h* 1 doubtful column as between Repub- * Jicans and Democrats. 1 Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska Is among those slated for retirement. ' If the Republicans control the Ne- 1 braska legislature to be elected this fall Congressman George W. Norris 8 will be named to succeed Senator * Brown. In the event of Democratic < success the next senator will be form- i er Governor Ashton C. Shallenberger. I When Senator Nixon, of Nevada, > Republican, died a few weeks ago. Governor Oddie appointed Judge W. * A. Massey to succeed him. Senator j? Massey's term will expire on the elec- ? tion of his successor by the legisla- * ture, thus giving Senator Newlands. c the other Nevada senator, a Detno- t cratic colleague. ? Well informed men in both parties 1 are inclined to the opinion that the ' senatorial career of Henry E. Burnham, of New Hampshire is about 1 closed. New Hampshire has display- ' ed strong progressive tendencies and Governor Robert P. Bass, a sturdy Roosevelt henchman, is mentioned as a possible candidate for Senator Burnham'a seat. ItosecranB W. Pillsbury, editor of the Manchester Union, * announced his candidacy for the sen- a atorshlp last January. Henry H. Hollis, of Concord, is looked upon as the Democratim choice. The future of Senator Frank O. Brlggs, of New Jersey. Is in doubt. Btnto iu = a ground by the Democrats, particular- ^ , ly since the nomluuLlon of Governor)^ Wilson for President. The Republi-lJ can party is badly split into rival ?*< -!? jtiona, which fact is giving additionally encouragement to the Democrats. j J A Democrat \n ill of course be se-1 I lected to succeed Senator Simmons. I of North Carolina. Senator Simmons h is a candidate for re-election and is opposed by Governor W. W". Kitchin. ' Senator Owen of Oklahoma is engaged in a bitter fight for re-election. His opponent on the Democratic side is former Governor Charles N. Has- ^ kell. Five aspirants seek the Repub- n lican indorsement. The party selec- ^ I tion will be made in the primary next month. e I Senator Jonathan Bourne. Jr., of 1: Oregon, has fallen a victim to the State-wide prJmary.of which he was p one of the earliest and staunche6t ad- t< vocates. The Republicans have se- fl lected Ben Selling, a wealthy Port- it land merchant, to succeed him. The A Democratic choice Is Dr. Harry Dane, a grandson of General Joseph Dane, who was Oregon's first territorial * governor, one of her first senators and a candidate ior Vice President on the Breckenridge ticket in 18C0. Owint largely to poor health Belt ator George P. Wetmore, of Rhode Island, will not bo a candidate for ro election.
