It Is known that Duncan the News and Observer takes its diet ! and th,e office-holding trust long in ; control, are to have a fight in order of crow just as easily as it usually . to remain in the saddle uepresen- doea. j tative Morehead has never knuckled to the Duncan crowd; he has, in tact, The News and Observer devotes! been as independent as you please. several columns that could have been given in three words, "Please for get It."

If they do, a lot of them will certainly escape. Now that it is all over, perhaps vbe subscribers of the News and Ob server, such as are left, may find some news matter in the columns of that paper. Josephus is now begging the "bal lot thieves" and "would-be murder ers" to come to the aid of the Jo-Jo ticket. He needs 'em in his busi ness. The Bailey-Daniels combine claim that they have beaten the Wake County ring. But if they haven't a ring of their own, then we do not know one. Some of Ex-Governor Aycock's mocking birds must have escaped to Georgia. "Shootin's" have caused the Governor of that State to order out the militia. Maybe the News and Observer's plea for an open door to the Demo cratic party is to give those three mongrel Republicans on Its ticket a chance to get in. No matter what happens in No vember, the Republicans are sure of a Senator from Wake, one represen tative and a county commissioner, even if they be mongrels. The News and Observer insulted every voter that voted for the regu lar Democratic nominees by term ing them "Esaus." He will find that they "eat 'em alive" in November. For a while Professor Sykes is spared the necessity of constantly dodging the question, if he would support either wing of the Wake Democracy that would be nominated. It's "shoreky" a relief to him. Raleigh gave the Jo-Jo "refawm ers" 700 majority one year ago, and having tried it that long, gave a majority against them of 400. Now figure out what majority the county will give against them two years hence if they should happen to get control. Bryan's opposition to Harmon for President, or rather for the nomina tion, la based on the fact that Har mon la too closely allied with the trusts.

They Know That Ills Election a State Chairman Would Mean Re publican Success In North Caro lina If "Duncan and the Office! Holding Trust" Control Republican j Convention, Then the Democrats) Will Have No Fears A Pointer to Republicans Who Want to See the j Party Grow. (Greensboro Record, Democratic.) Speaking from a political stand-; ; point, it is interesting and amusing weeding his own row. All this has been distasteful to Duncan. More- over, Morehead has, in the language of the street, thrown Duncan down several times in thwarting his efforts to put some man In office. And so j It Is that a fight is to be made to see who is going to control the organiza- tion fn the future Duncan on one side. Morehead on the other. The! latter has dabbed very little in pol-' itlcs until within the past two years, j but he has been an apt scnolar and ! has learned fast. Fearing treach- j ery or something of the sort, he man- 'aged his own campaign two years a&n: th mfTi who h-ivp hprptnfnrf i Pulled the strin were seemingly not consultedi he maintained his own . . . . hig m , atnrp hnw wpII Vnmm hv thp rA-i: w, " suit. Democrats, as we say, are enjoying ; the ProsPect of the bout t0 be Ped off, but it is well to remember one , thingif Morehead succeeds in cap-1 turing the organization it bodes no good to the Democratic party. His primary oujeei is to put vue uieu wuu have Deen running the party away back in tne rear ana maite tne organ- . and at the same time an abundant ization more respectable, so that ajrevenue provided for the growing disgruntled Democrats can find a needs of. our nation. The President's - 1 ai . r piace to go 11 ne aesires. ine wayjstr0ng defense of the law in his it nas been for years is mat, maaiwinnna snwph whirh at tht tim! though a Democrat may be. he is ashamed to be caught in such a mix- ture; in other words, he has no place; to emigrate if he is in the notion. Mr. Morehead understands the sit uation thoroughly, a'nd if he has his way the Republican party will be in better shape than it has ever been, with the result that the Democrats may not find it such easy sailing. It has been frequently charged that the leaders of the Republican party in this State do not wrant to win, their only object being to con - trol the Federal offices. They do not want recruits, for if they get enough to win with these same office-holders will be put out of business. This pa- per has harped on this for years, knowing it to be true, and the voters are now beginning to understand the situation. So we repeat that if Morehead has his way it will be a rather cool day for the Democratic party; should! with it all, he is making mighty lit- tie noise. Should he prove success ful it will be a feather in, his cap, fort it will take a strong man to put Dun can down. A strange. thing about it is that the Congressman does not want to get the bone from the other fellow for selfish and personal rea sons; that is to say, he does not want to be the boss to dole out the pie; he is evidently acuated by higher mo tives, and if he wins out, he will probably not care two cents who gets the jobs, if the aspirant is a straight - The Convention to be held here in August promises to be a lively one, but it will not be a fight between the same elements as heretofore more's the pity for the good of the Demo cratic party. nvniTS "ktt.Tj Af AViTP'ArrrTTRFRj Three Bandits Held Up and Robbed Massachusetts Man A Policeman Also Killed.

Schedules have been low- j'ered, prices of necessities reduced was not fully concurred in by all of the Republican leaders, is now prov- en true and the President's foresight and wisdom conceded. Another measure that was a pledge of the Republican platform was the Railway Regulation Bill, a j iong step forward in the relief in j the abuses of rates.

The value of the presence of Re publican Congressmen has . been abundantly shown in the number of appropriations for public buildings, etc., for the State of North Carolina, a list of which will be published.

Morehead Flays Pou. v ; The speech of Congressman More-lanv Fourth district. The latter evaded the tariff question as much as possi ble but injected a good deal of "nig- eer-reconstruction." Mr. Morehead very effectually squelched the Fourth District Congressman's speech, one t: the most telling points being as follows: j "He also fails to bring out the I ii-jifart that thia ttho tamnnrarv Hanrao. I -ithp oipmonto that ic .rtT,tiKtiT,r trt ! warmers and indirectly to all other classes." He also said: i "I submit that, if the South would send Congressmen to Washington! who believe in the great American ! doctrine of protection, then w would be able to have every sched - ule of the tariff as favorable to the South as to any other section of the country. Why should the National Republican party force the benefits of protection upon a section that In sists upon sending Congressmen to Washington who declare that they do not want protection and who fur ther dec robbery ther declare that it is iniquitous and The Referee System.

It may be said in passing that the in- j jection of these questions in a speech i on the tariff is surely an innovation ! for even a North Carolina Democrat. I Mr. Morehead's reply to this part i of the speech was as follows: "The gentleman next quotes an extract from the speech made by ; President Taft at Greensboro, about three years ago. in which the Presi- dent pointed out the evil effects of ; the Republican referee system in the chief th nf South as being one of the , causes that prevented the growth the Republican party, and then Mr. I class of men described by the ; President, who are controlling the destinies of the party in the South causes that prevent men in the South 'The Democratic politicians who; flfo otoTnallv naintincr niTiiroc rf tcl ; and prevent anv independence of ! thought or action, are even more re- sponsible for this condition of polit-j ical slavery in the South than the: Republican referees.
