Tlie general reputation and con duct of a candidate are matters of proper inquiry, and are as much issues as are the i)olicies he may advocate. Mr. Gudger as n candidate is spectacular and to some he has always been a i)uzzle. Every man who w’as in the Henderson ville convention in 1901’ remem bers and can never forget how’ Mr. Gudger leaped upon the plat form uninvited and without no tice and declared that he had 1 been nominated: and how it came near breaking up the convention in confusion: and how it lost liim a thousand votes in the election. Neither the people nor Mr. (lud- ger will forget this mistake. Yet in the present cam])aign Mr. Gudger is even more reckless in his elTorts to hold his “job.*' as he* calls it. than he was in laying vio lent hands on it in 190l\ He has been for months plann ing with as mucli deliberation and determination to secure the nomination as any general ever determined and deliberated be fore besieging a city, and tliat, too, without regard to whether the sentiment and judgment of his party are against or for him. Mr. (rudger is unitiue in that he is the first democratic con- gi'pssman from this district who ever had a man eini)loy».'d and [)aid out of the public treasury to manage his campaign. Cling- inan, the Vances, Johnston and Crawford represented the dis trict to the satisfaction of the lieople, but never got a dollar of money from the people to pay a secretary. Mr. Cludger makes a certificate every month that he has employed Mr. Kirkpatrick for the month and that it “was necessary to do so in the dis charge of his public and official duties," and every month Mr. Kirkpatrick gets one hundred (SlOO) dollars, and it is a fact that he has not been in Washington this year, but has opent his en tire time in the district organiz ing and planning Mr. Gudger’s campaign for the nomination. And in addition to the slOO [)er month Mr. Gudger has secured for Mr. Kirkpatrick a pension of s30 per month on account of dis abilities incurred in the Spanish- American war; and as a further and valuable equipment for ren dering Mr. Gudger efficient ser vice Mr. Kirkpatrick has a rail road pass w’hich enables him to tour the district from end to end at nominal cost. Nobody blames Mr. Kirkpat rick as he is employed by Mr. Gudger and is doing what the congressman directs; and he gets the “clerk hire money,” etc., as the consideration for his services. Mr. Gudger has been good to Mr. Kirkpatrick and nobody will blame Mr. Kirkpatrick for tell ing the people how they ought to vote. Tint to be entirely fair it looks like tiie other candidates ought to have clerks too, during ing the campaign at least. Yet, withal Mr. (Judger started out in his cam])aign declaring that j he would stand or fall by his rec ord, and, notwithstanding he has had his headquarters open in the district for the last ten months, I he pulled up at Washington and jleft iiis seat in congress several ' weeks ago and has taken personal chai’ge of his campaign in the , townships and county primaries I along witii Mr. Kirivpatrick. i Mr. Giulirer attenthnl the pri- I ” ' maries in Polk county, and the townsliii)S he honored with his Iall-insi)iring presence gave him a. solid vote but the townshi[)s he I failed to reach voted solidly for I Mr. Crawford. At the same time Mr. Kirkpatrick attended the Clay county primai’ies and conventions and Mr. Chidger got ja majority in that county. Have \ve not, indeed, fallen u})- Ion strange tiinesy The News- CJazette says that Mr. (riidgt'r will b(3 bottled n]) inasmuch as he cannt attend the Buncombe ])rimary on Friday and get to Rutherford in time Saturday to do much personal w’ork. Just think of Zeb Vance as a member of Congress going to Polk county in Green's creek township to at tend a primary in his own be half. “The thought is enough to make gods and men laugh.” We have made inquiry and learn that Mr. (Judger's ])redecessors did not even leave Washington to attend the congressional conven tion. Why all this personal, seltish and officious intermeddling with the party primaries? It is self evident that ]\lr. Gndger knows that a majority of democrats are against him if not interfered with. Candidates w’ho have faith and conlidence in the peo ple should remain away from ])ri- marias. The office of congress man is a high office, a position of honor and men who seek it should do so with becoming dignity. The masses of the voters see their government through the men who hold the high places in the respective political parties, and these men should be models in the best type of all the essen tials of exaulted citizenship. irOR SOLICITOR Why the Democrats of Transylvania County should Stand by the Democrats of Madison in the Contest for Solicitor.
