Dear 8tr: /
As you know, I was present at the
Senatorial Convention in Plymouth

In this County we had already

persons for the Senate under a
legalised primary in which Messrs.

Mark Majotte and Dr. Dees had each
received oertaia votes. 'My under

coot by the voters on the day of the
primary. Instead of doing this. otter

A. Daniel, Jr., and myself, voted tc

: CHAIRMAN
^ENT QUESTION
ileggjtes Changing Their
it the Senatorial ConL
of August 15th, in regard to the
change of the vote of Beaufort County
at the Senatorial Convention at
Plymouth. *This
matter came up at the State
Convention at Raleigh, when all of
the delegatee except one (Mr. Jae. L.
i Mayo), were willing to give the
i. aolld vote of Beaufort County to ;
Judge Pell for Corporation Commie- f
aloner after the first ballot.
Mr. Mayo opposed this, and ghve
i aa hta reason that under the .legalized
, primary, the delegates had no right
to take any man's strength away
from {him, and the vote remained
unchanged.
The day after I got back from Ral- v
eigh, 1 told Mr. Mayo that he took 8
the right position. / ' ' d
At the Senatorial Convention yes- tl
terday, on the first ballot the vote
was cast as it was la the primary. .
Beaufort County then held a caucus, .
over which I presided, sad thirteen
of the delegates voted to give the
solid vote of the County .to Captain _
8tad?ert on the second ballot. Mr.
E. A. Daniel and yourself voted
agdlnst this.
The Chairman of the Convention _
ruled that under Section 4f of the .
Flan of Organisation that two-thirds
M the delegates eonld change the vote.
'' ' - . |
My position wss this?that we |
were sent over there to repreeent all
of the people, and that we had no
right or authority to change their
will as expressed In the primary. My
conceptfiTh of the primary law Is that
a man's vote can never be taken e
from him as long as his name la be- c
.fore the Convention.
All of the candidates except one
hsd entered our primary apd paid
their fees, and in my opinion were
entitled to their strngth.
As to the enforcement of the unit
rule, I understand that this wss the
first time that It has occurred In this
County. At the Congressional Convention
at Elisabeth City, all of the
delegates except one voted for Mr.
Albion Dunn, of Pitt, for Presidential
Elector. This one wbr
S given his pro rata part of the vote .
r and cast ft for another man.
After the ruling of the chair yea- .
' terday, I still believe that you had a c
perfect right to cast yous proportionate
part of the vote for any man
who entered the primary, and that it
should have been recorded. I am, t

next Monday, August 19 It had
een Intended to continue the seaon

sain at the Atlantic until that time. ?
Under the management of Mr. Du-|

ears has been one of the most popliar

airation, of the thousands who have W1
pent delightful vacations at the At- m
antic this summer. It is his first ^
eason with the hotel.
While much attention and expense
vere given to rennovating the splen- th
lid hotel and its furnishings prior to at
he opening in June the extraordinary hi
ucccsb of the present season is retarded

KITCH1N AND THE PAPERS.
One of the strangest things of the
senatorial campaign is the fact that
Governor Kitchln presists in the unaccountable
mistake he made at the
outset, of abusing the editors of the
State. It is scarcely worth while to
|qualify thta, for the bulk of the State
papers are against Kltchin and it is
the very few that escape his arraignment.
This abuse of.ihe papers by
i Governor Kitchin is this week the
subject of a thoughtful editorial by
F. M. Williams. In The Newton Enterprise.
in which he tnake9 the
point that; "if Governor Kitchln is
correct in aaying that a majority of
the Democratic editors have decided
against him and in favor of Senator
Simmons, he will never be able to
convince a majority or r-very considerable
minority of_ the Democratic
voters that It Is not the verdict of a
painstaking and conscientious Jury."
the Enterprise then sums up the
records of Simmons and Kitchin. and
says with Jhese records before them,
"and a full understanding of the fact
that Senator 8tmmons. with his experience,
Influence and preatlge in
the Senate, can render Incomparably
better service to his State than any
new man could render, there is no
wonder that the Democratic editors,
