Ra elgh, N. C . Mar. 16. 1916.
Mr. Carl Goerch, "Editor,
Washington, Dally Xawa,
Washington, S. C.
My dear Mr. Qoerch: ]
I have road with a great deal of
interest your editorial of the 15th
instant re.ating to 'the renomlnation
of Colonel Grimes for Secretary of
State.
While what you say Is good, a
study of the actual facta makes his
case a great deal stronger than does
your editorial. Knowing that you"
wou d like to give the facts as they
are, 1 am taking the liberty of writ- j
leg you and am giving you some of
the terms which other people have 1
held as State officers'; thus showing
that the so?called "rotation" Idea
la not only not Democratic doctrine,
but has never been practiced by the j
party at all.
V*e do not hear any question of !
-lr il-.ut.<> Tor ofllce raised by rea
son of the fact that these people have
served the State for a great dal
longer time in many cases than has
Colonel Grimes. An a matter of
fact, in most cases, their service is
counted as an asset, and they are
looked upon as being better qualified
to fill those various positions by |
reason of the experience they have
had. ? I
The following are some of the !
men: j
Judge Walter Clark ? Judge ot thej
Superior Court 1885-1889; Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court 1889- :
1902; Chief Justice Supreme Court,
1902-1920.
Associate Justice Geo> H. Brow;: ?
Superior Court 1889-1904; Associate
Justice Supreme Court, 1904-1920. |
Associate Justice Hoke ? Judge
Superior Court 1891-1904; Associate
Justice Supreme Court 1904-1924.
Hon. F. M. Simmons ? United
States Senator 1901-1920.
Hon. Lee S. Overman ? United
States Senator 190* 1922.
Hon. Jno. H. Small, Congressman,
1898-1916.
lion. C'.ntide Kltchlri, Congress
man, 1900-1913.
Hon. E. W. Poa, Congressman,
1900-19167 -
Hon E Y.v Webb, Congressman,
1902-1916. ?
Hon. B. R .Lacy, Commissioner of
Lator and Printing. 1893-1897;
again from 1899-1901; State Treas
urer 1901-1916.
Hon. J. Y. Joyner. Superintendent
of Public Instruction. February
1902-1916.
Hon. Jaa. R. Young. Clerk of the
Court 1881-1890; Insurance Com
m'e-ioner. 1S99-19J6.
Hon. O. H. All?#i, Judge of the
Superior Court since 189 7.
The fo'lowing Judges of the Su
perior Court have bepn holding of-1
flee since 19o3. Son:e of their terms
run two or thxej years from this date. I
Judges Cook, Ferguson, Long, and
Pecblea.
By these references you will Bee
that the policy of the Democratic j
party has Bren to retain men in of
fice when they arc giving efficient
service.
Knowing that you were interested
in Co'.onH Grimes' candidacy, I
thought I would send this material
to you so that ynu would be in posi
tion to make use of it, should you
see III. I have not attempted to ar
'.ished as an article.
I shall be most grateful If you
will Bend me a ropy of any issue of
your paper In which this material Is
mhde iiFe of. 1 assure you I appre
ciate, as does Colonel Grimes, the
assistance you are giving him
through the columns of your paper
Yours very truly,
W. S WILSON.

About fifteen years ago we made
