DISTRICT Mill : -SHIPMAII SOUNDS NOTE OF CAUTION. To The Editor:- Please remind your readers that the dembcratic pnmaries (or precinct meetings) will be held in every precinct of your "county on next Saturday, June 25th; and urge all democrats to attend the same. The selection of a candi date for Congress is the- most important service to1 be executed by members of our party in the tenth district at this time. Every democrat should therefore enter into the spirit of a really friend ly contest, with the determined purpose of assisting in ije select ion of the strongest available man to lead this fight, without regard to personal ties or politi cal trades. Petty local differences have no place in a democratic primary, and the democracy . of theldistrict is to be congratulated upon the absence of strife and bitterness among the friends of the numerous aspirants, for con gressional honors. "Let brother ly bve continue." .. - Five estimable gentlemen are seeking the nomination' for Con gress and each of them has en thusiastic supporters. Only one can be nominated and we must not lose sight , of the fact that the support of the disappointed ones and their friends-is neces sary to success in the genera) conflict with our old enemy, the republican party. Let us, there fore, exercise the utmost pre caution in conducting: our; prim? aries , and; eounty ixoasrentions; 4 taking for our chart the demo cratic plan of organizationj which is the party law. v Democratic committees, poU-hblders -i and other workers ixi efccipcf should eliminate any semblance of unfairness that may be called to their attention,, according to all aspirants the full, strength to which they are entitled. We do not want to become involved in the settlement of prior differ ences at the convention, or after its work has been completed. When our candidate has been named we should be able to go forth, with a unitedifront, con-4 querinana to conquer. As district chairman, it be comes my duty to .see that the party law is respected and this I shall undertake to do, without fear or favor, should evidences appear of disregard for its- pro visions - Democracy signifies - a rule of the people, and their wishes should be ascertained and respected in 'all 'matters pertain ing to party affairs. Spirited rivalry in contests for nominat ions is not unusual; nor is the temptation to "side-stepp" in conducting local 1 conventions. But every democrat should con sider the success of his party paramount to the ' nomination of any particular individual. These suggestions are not prompted by any evidence ' of impending trouble, but for the purpose of reminding democrats that a con dition confronts them which must be handled with the view to party success, rather than person aggrandizement. Believing the strongest -man will be nominated, and that we shall win this fight, I am Very respectfully, M. L. SHIPMAN , Chairman.

In referring to the candidacy of Mr. Cocke the Marion Progress, of McDowell county, last week in an editorial expression with the caption "A Causewortny Candi date," has this to say: The, Marion Progress after careful consideration and inves- tigation early espoused the cause of Hbn Wm, J.
