Mr. J. H. Matthew*, of Windsor,
has Mai the following letter to Mr.
F. R. McNInch, the campaign manager
for Governor Kltchln:
I- Windsor, N. C., Sept. 2, 1912.
'/ l Hob- **. B- MnNlach. Manager Kltchf
\ In Campaign, Raleigh, N. C.
\ Dear Sir:?1 received your letter
(of August S4, 1912, a general letter
jrhlcfc 1 presume you have given wide
circulation over the State.
With many of the charges and allegations
in It I shall not concern myself
In this letter. Yon make the following
direct specific charges against
the Democratic party, the State Democratic
convention and the 8tate
Democratic executive committee:
1st. "By the ase of political machinery,
a packed conventiob. a par]
" tlaan committee and oald n?wa?npr
articles, an effort has been made to
hide Jhe real Issues of the cam alo
2d. - "The friends of Senator Simmons
in the State convention, packed
for the purpose, tried to whitewash
his record.
8d. "The partisans of Senator
Simmons, a majority of the state executive
committee, dodged on construing
Democratic ticket."
| I take the above quotations from
your letter. Of course the general
tone of the letter is an enla* cement
j( '~\ Vf these MmI. I'iie ehare efih- ?
talnly serious and, as I believe, most
likely to do the Democratic party
harm. As I was a delegate to and
attended the Democratic State con,
ventlon and took, an humble part In
Its deliberations, I sm not willing to
It idly by and bear any man say
that it was boss ridden and^ packed.
I repel the charge. 1 am certainly
surprised that you wait until after j
the convention adjourns tp make
such charges.
It is of course apparent that you
make them simply and solely in the
Interest of the candidacy of an aspirant
for office.
Was there a single protest against
any delegation from any CQunty be- I
fore that great convention? If the
convention was packed of course it
* was done in the various county conventions.
Why did not you bring
that matter sharply before the State
convention? I .believe if you had
ajiown that body of intelligent Dem
ocrats that such methods had been
used In any. county the convention
' -would not have stood for It.
At any rate, do you not think It
would have been proper to make the
charge In the face of the men who
u .were concerned end not wait until
. they hare all scattered about the
State? 1 ^am not speaking of temporary
disappointments over falling
to get as.many rotes as you expected.
I am speaking of a- charge that approaches
a charge of corruption.
Governor Kttebln had friends in
that convention?judging by the minority
vote on the platform. Why did.
not some of them preeent a resolution
directly calling In question
Senator Simmons' Democracy, and
also calling In question the fairness
' of the convention to P&*s on that
question m It was "packed?"
If that conrentlon was packed,
boss ridden, why did Governor
Kitchin'a frlende tubmlt to its decision
a matter they thought rital to his
Interests?

Has Made Serious
t Democratic Party,
>cratic Convention
contain likely to do the Democratic
party good, promote a spirit of harmony?
Yon sre not going before the people
generally. You are going before
organised Democracy and you are I
asking that Governor Kitchin be !
mhde one of the national represen- j
tatives of that democracy. Having
consented to submit his claims to the
organised democracy Is it proper to 1
hnpute bad motives to it and its representatives?
It certainly seems I
H strange that on. every turn you Impute
motives or conduct to the repMresen
tat Ives of our great party. The J
strangest part of it all la that It Is
not done In the name of correcting "
any evils, but-simply in the interest .
of a candidacy.
In your letter you make, as 1 have
said, grave charges against the Democratic
convention, the majority of
Democratic counties in the State, and
the Democracy's chosen representatives?its
executive comnltttee. Why
are these charges \renswed at this
lale> date In the campaign and with
such vehemence of language and repetition?
Have any meetings been w
held in any part of the State de- *
pouncing the convention as unfair,
boss ridden, packed? Did you ever ^
know a quieter political condition v
than that which followed the Demonot
indicate that a very large major- B
Ity of the people were satisfied with "
its deliberations 'and conduct? Do Y
you believe that condition would al
have obtained if the convention had f
been boss ridden, packed and un- ?
fair?
Has not the State executive com- b
mittee decided to meet In October
and make the proper regulation about d
who 1b to vote in the primaries? ai
Would It not be fairer to assume S
that tho executive committee would
carry out the wishes of tho State con- l<
vention, do the right and proper a:
thing, than to brand them ns dodgers?
I see no reason for abusing the
Committee before it acts. The primary
Is many days off. Why this
great to do about a 'test of voting
months before the voting time?
Tflis is 8 remarkable charge for
you and Governor Kltchin to make,
that having come into office at the
hAari nf lha nnrtv fnnr veara am
Governor Kitchin goes out of office, h'
leaving ft boss ridden, convention
packed and such like. I never heard A
that charge about the party in the
timea of Governor Ayoock and Governor
Glenn. Of course the Republican
office holders always make it l?
every catapaign, but I never npet a
man, who supposed it was so. B
In the light of your charges, how b
can our speakers' ask fair minded
men to support its various nominees
and how can the nominees ask people
to v6ta for them? ' B
Why those charges? Is there a u
hidden purpose to discredit the party
Its nominee and its executive com- t<
mltfee, on the eve of battle, in the C
hope that the party nominees may
go down In defeat with your candidate?
tl
As I said in the outset, I am not 8
concerned abqut the other allegations
of your latter. Others can, and B
will doubtless answer them. And If 8
I had not been a delegate to the
Democratic State convention I should 1
not have replied at all to your letter.
v
The harmful effect of your charge t
against the party is, however, my V
math reason for writing. I am for
the Democratic party flipt and tot v
Senator Simmons second. ' ^

ress publicly my deep appreciation j
> my many friends and supporters C
irougkout the Washington district *
>r their support daring the recent
rimary for the position of Recorder c
! this district. I assure each and all q
lat my gratitude is beyond uords to R
ipress. Inasmuch as another pri- c
ary i/to be held to-settle the ques- ^
of Recorder although I polled ^
towing that 1 was the choice of the' ~T
lople, I desire to state a few facts
r tho consideration of my friends A'
id all others who tnTfcnd to cast ^
eir vote in the second primary.
This statement is placed under
,th as I shall not state anything 1
nnot substantiate and for this re an
1 have sworn to the following
ifore the Clerk of the Court as will
i seen below:
>rth Carolina?Beaufort County.
Personally appeared before me
is the 12th day of September, 1912. j '
tlliam B. Wind ley, of the City of
ashington, who deposes and says:
On August 28, W. D. Grimes, one Wg
the candidates for Recorder of this ^
strict, called me in his off.ee and ^
ade the following proposition: If
> (Grimes) was the highest mail In
e primary for Recorder, I (W. B.
indley) would not call a second
Smary; if on the other hand, I (W.
Wlndley) received the highest el
>te,'that he (W. 13. Grimes) would
it call a second primary. If, how'er,
Frank H. Bryan should receive 8
le highest vote in the first primary 1
id that either W. D. Grimes or the
idersigncd was the next highest, c 8
ther one should call a second pri- rec
ary and the third man in the race
louUl throw hig strength to the secid
man calling the second primary. m
his agreement I made In good faith. aR
id if the result had resulted other
lan it has, I should have carried ^
xt my part of the agreement to the on'
tter, for I believe In fair play and
fair fight. Mr. Grimes now calls a
tcond primary and seems to ignore HI
le express understanding had bevoen
ho aud I in his office' on AuiiBt
28. All that I desire is a fair
Sht. If Mr. Grimes had been the
ad[ng candidate in the first primary
ad I the second man, rest assured 1
lere would be no second primary,
>r I proposed to carry out our agree- ,n
lent. The first primary gave me a ?
lajority of nineteen In the district f"'
rer Mr. Grimes. This being true, * '
i it nothing but right and fair he '
aould carry out his agreement and 0
ow to the wishes of the majority?
make this statement to the public 1 '
>r the purpose only of showing that
have acted fair and square and proOM
to do so. I believe I am the
