piittjy , -V.V, ' A Want Ad In THE DAILY NKWS ^ Brings Sura J. Bryan Grimes Fojr Secretary of State Given Strong Endorsement for Re-nomination by Judge Stephen C. Bragaw of the Local Bar. Every Demo crat m Beaufort County Should Coat a Vote for. Him in the Primary to be Held tiext Saturday. He it One of tu Say ? the Judge. The Democratic party should be ?pTl?11y careful tfcls year to select 1 a ticket that will commend Itself to the voters of the state. Under the primary system every vote counts In the selection of nomi nees for state offices, as the major ity of the total vote for the entire state determines who shall be the nominees. It ia vitally Important, In my Judgment, that J. Bryan Crimes be continued In offlce as Secretary of State, and evsry Democrat \n Beau fort bounty should cast a vote for him In the primary to be held next Saturday. Born and raised only eight miles from Washington, Bryan Grimes la practically a Beaufort eotmty boy. His Interests and those of his family are as closely identi fied with this county as with Pitt. He a one of us. There has never Keen a change in the office of Secre tary of State in the history of North Carolina, except when there was a change of parties in control. Every ex-Confederate Veteran and the son of every veteran should sup port him. From boyhood he has been untiring in his eeffort and unceasng in his demand that history must and ^ahall record the truth to the end that the world now and in the future shall know the justice of the South ern Cause and the unparalleled pa triotism and valor of the Southern soldier. The State cannot afford to lose the benefit of his continuance hi this work. Since he became Secretary of State he has given constant effort to obtain legislation for the. relief of old sol diers and their families. With the Federal Government appropriating! lfs hundreds, of millions for pensions! for those Ao wore the Blue, we Seed* men Uke Bryan Grimes to urge our legislators to increase pensions for those who wore the Gray. Every farmer anfthe son of every farmer should support him. Born and raised on a far inland still a farmer with all <hf has now invested in farms ana&farmlng, he knows the needs of th^great agricultural class of our population, and as a member Of the State Grange and the Farm ers Union has actively, earnestly and Intelligently urged and support ed every measure for the betterment; of farming conditions hi North Car-| olina. This is an agricultural state. Eighty per cent of the Democratic votes, it is said, are cast by farmers. Yfet only two of the higher offices in the state paying over $2500 annual ly are held by farmers, (one of which, Commissioner of Agriculture, by law MUST be a farmer) and Bryan Grimes Is now the only far mer In the Council of State. Why should he be displaced to make room for a lawyer who has held a public office for eighteen years? I do not bellere in the "Claas Cry," but 1 do believe In common fairness and com mon sense. Every business man and every professional man should suppo? t him. There Is no state officer with whom business men coma oftener in contact than the Secretary of 8^ ate. Thore Is not a lawyer nor a baa! ness man in the state who can horteatly deny the statement that Bryan Grimes has made his office a model Sof order and that no departVnent of the state government gives 'more ef ficient service. His experience equips him for better future ser vice, and business men appreciate efficiency and experience. It Is simple busi ness common sense to beep an ex perienced and efficient man In this office, rather than replace him with an Inexperienced man. How many business men discharge a man of experience who has made good Just bccause some other man wants the Job? Bryan Grimes stands for every good measure which 'our party is committed to, and works for the .things he stands for. He does not .content himself with speaking ? he proves his faith by his works. 1 Why should he n-ot be kept In of ?flce? No man can or even attempts to attack his public record. No man can or even protends to attack his ^private record. f ~ Another irytn who -hum hek? office Jongrr tluin has Bryan Grimes, wants ! this position! And It is sought upon [the plea of "Rotation in office!" jwhy rotate one good officer out to | rotate another office-holder in? i Why rotate a capable, experienced | democrat out of office to rotate an | inexperienced office-holder Into the ?vacancy? Why rotate now, when for 84 years before the Civil War three men only held the office? Why de-. prive the state of the splendid work chat the position enables Grimes to do for the.atate, and which he is do ing, merely to gratify the ambition of another Democrat who does not claim to have done more, but sim ply wanb the office? We have Superior Court Judges on the bench now who have held of fice for from 14 to 20 years I Wej have other state officers who have held office without opposition from 14 to 18 years!

The K1 frld# Take Her r lace Here. The torpedo boat Foote which ha\ been stationed in Washington (or some little time has been trans ferred to the station at New Bern whf re she will In ^11 probability re in w in for the next several months. T/JO Elfrlda will take the Foote's V lace at this station. It is the plan of Captain C. D. Bradham in com mand of the North Carolina Naval Militia, to have the boats rotate from one station to another and the Foote going to New Bern and the Elfrlda coming here is in conse quenc of this order. Considering the . fact that it was at times necessary to proceed slow ly. says the New Bern Sun-Journal, the run mado by the Foote from Washington to' New Bern might be termed a record trip. The men boarded the Foote here at three o' clock last Sunday morning. At four o'clock they cast off and nine hours later they had tied up at the wharf In New Bern, having covered a dis tance of one hundred and eight miles. Under ideal conditions the Foote can make sixteen or eighteen miles an h6ur, that is when she can pro ceed at top speed, but In shallow waters the speed is cut down to nine or ten miles. The Foote was in charge of Lieut enant F. T. Brandt on her trip from this city to New Bern. WE ARE STILL STRIVING JOR BETTER DAYS It Is Well for Us to Look Back and Then Not to be Dlacooraged. From a copy of an old law book, compiled by Judge Henry Potter, Judge of the District Court (U. S.) of North Carolina and printed in 1828 in Raleigh, N. C., by and for J. Gales & Son, the following is taken as being of interest to tho preSbnt generation to show the risks a teacher and also the rlBks a student took In going to chool in the year 1828 in North Carolina. i Vlx: ? Schoolmaster. "Where a schoolmaster in correcting his scholar, happens to occasion his death, if in such correction he is 30 barbarous as to exceed all bounds of moderation, he is at least guilty oj manslaughter. And if ho makeB use of any Instrument Improper for cor rection, and apparently endangering the scholar's life, as an iron bar, a sword, or kick him to the ground, and then stamp on his belly, and kill him, he Is guilty of murder." The above Is a verbatim copy of the then law and shows to What ex tent correction was wont to go In those days. It is a far cry to the present Beaufort county commence- i ment day with everybody sober and happy, with the hundreds of happy bright children In marching line. When we aro discouraged It is well to look bask and see what has been and take a new hold to make further strides in the forward march to still better days. LONG ACRE. MOTOR TO NEW BERN.

Seldom Baen So Vit riolic in His Addresaea. By R. PERRY ARNOLD, United Press Staff Corerspondettt. St. Louis, May 31. ? Ex-President Roosevelt flayed and excoriated the hyphenated Americana in' fc city hav ing the second largeet German American population in the United States today. The former President haa seldom been 10 vitriolic as when he denounced as "moral trea son" the hyphenates at the City Club luncheon. The German-American aliens came In for part of Roosevelt'a wrath. He declared it and its branches to be composed of people "disloyal" to the United States and "unfit for citlzcn ahlp." He made a powerful appeal for "America for Americans." laud ing in glowing terms those immi grants who sought political freedom here and fought and bled In proving their fealty to the Stara and Stripes. He said: "I stand for straight lAmerican lsm, unconditioned unqualified and against any form of hyplienlsm. I condemn it whenever it represents an effort to form political organiza tions along racial lines, "The salvation of our people lies in having a nationalized knd unified America,, r^ady for the tremendous taskf of both war and pe*6e. I ap peal to all our citizens no matter from what land their forefathers came to keop this ever In mind, and to ahun with scorn and contompt the Binister intriguers and mischief ma kern who would seek to divide them along lines of creed, of birthplace, | or of national origin, I ask them to | remember that there is but one safe motto, for all Americans, no matter whether they were born here or ^ joroad, no matter from what land their ancestors came; and that is the simple and loyal motto, America for Americans." EUacusslng the German-American Alliance, Its aims, its published statements and its warnings to the leaders of the national conventions that they must deal with the solid German-American vote, Roosevelt Bald: "Such, statements represent moral treason to the public. The program on which this alllence wants the American citizens' vote is one effecting Germany, only Germany don't In the least object because it denounces me. It has denounced Mr. Wilson almost as often and al most as severely." UUHCNED NOT WEEK Pleasure Hon** Boat "Mwny" to Take Initial Dip Next Week.

(Special Corerspondence) Raleigh, May 31. ? It seems reas onably certain that the State pri mary, to be held Satorday, June 3, will fall *.o aettle the candidacies of some of the aspirants for State of fices and that a second primary will he necessary, under the provisions of the new law, to decide who shall | be declared the nomliuraa of the Democratic party. This conditio" course is caused by the multip of candidates and will probably essita'te another vote In three of the congressional districts also. The positions for which a second primary may become necessary to nominate candidates are those of Attorney General, Secretary of Stale, and Commissioner of Agriculture, and Congressmen In the sixth, sev enth and tenth districts, in which three districts there are fifteen as pirants to be voted for June 3rd. Insint on Second Primary. Col. "Coot" Jones followed the load of Col. HartnesB in suggesting to the other five gentlemen compet ing for the offices of Attorney Gen eral and Secretary of State that all agree to let the nominations go to the men receiving the higheBt vote in the first primary. The friends of Assu Atty-Gen. Calvert and Secretary of State Grimes think that offer was a clever little political play, but too thin to hide Its trapsparent purpose. It 1b evi dent, they say, that as Messrs. Jones and Hartness are, respectively, the only candidates from the wast for those positions, they will poll about as many votes In* the first as they I could in the second primary, while the vote In the central and eastern | coantlaa will be divided between the other candidates In the first pri j mary. If Mr. Calvert and Col. Grimes are candidates in the second (primary (provided they are not wln iners in the first, which is not im probable, their friends claim) they I will get the bulk of the vote polled 1 In the first one for the candidates forced to drop out. This argument ; sounds reasonable and therefore It , I was no surprise when the Jones and ; Hartness proposition was declined. \ ASKS U. S. 1 TOEXPLAINTO j MEXIC AN GOVT.
