' of I Who, He Says, Charges Againsi Clwrging Demc ^Eis'packed. ^ x ^' '" ' - ' 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? ! Honor bright, do too think It bocoming In tou. th. manager or hi. campaign, under tkeae clrcumetancee to make each ckergee agalnet the partt and the contention after It adlourna, arhen Ton did not maka anr auch chargea. or ralae anr eaeh.Qaaatlone at tha conrentlon?

I IHF, MlflCER I tiii nftHiiuiiit arsons 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. ' ^ Very trnly yogis, 1 J. H. MATTHEWS. >'MCK WtTH FBVKR.

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.
