Bob Doughton entered; . the realm of North Oarolina politics outy af er. proving hie ability to succeed in his chosen vocation, to make farming pay. It required great stores of ener 7f big braiu snd rare executive ability to bring . to T fruition the dreams of his young manhood, but all theseattnbute he possess ed' to a marked degree. He thinks rspidly, and as rapidly puts his plans into execution, and if there is any one thing more than another that is accountable for his, roDiark'jkble success as a farmer it is the thoroughness witb which he does things . He never equivocates where there is a prin ciple involved and never oompro-r mises with a difficulty. As a boy, his old plajniatds tell, be was net r ktion to dodge a mud ! hole, out regartt icss of Sunday shoes or io th tit.

Ti iaythe l j grown older-hie would n . t flinch ii. m any duty, fearing as little the rational problems he, as a membei oi Congress, is called on to help solve as he did the mud holes of his childhood I His coming marks the begin ning of a ti'-wera in North Caro lina politics. While he is a splendid mixer he is not the ordi nary type of politician, the loud laughing handshaking, joke, tell ing candidate, who heretofore has nearly alwaya been the successful applicant, tha "Peoples' Choice He persuades ' hit - people by the eloquence of his reason, touching eit jninda - irithoui- arolosing f their "passion, creating -a whole-, s cue interest u governmental a fairs. His Mlity to do .this is w once the sc-uge and enry cf Lisj opponents. A man without gune, full of sympathy for the people j he has been oalled on to lead, he stands obedient to their will, with hand and heart ready to serve their every wish. His private life has been ex emplary, and nowhere does he stand higher than in the hearts of his neighbors. There is an old saying that it takes the exception to prove the rule, and his is the exception in the ease of the old proverb: "A prophet is not with out honor save in his own conn try." His campaign against Cowles in 1910 will be long remembered in this section. It was a new thing in in these parts to see a farmer leave his plow handles, like Cincinnatus of old, don his 8unday shirt and take the stump against a smooth and experienced politician and speaker to win from him his seat in the National Congress, the greatest legislative body in the world I Though a re publioan majority of 1875 con fronted him, his old disregard for difficulties manifested itself in the fervor with which he under took to convert this republican majority into a democratic ma jority and his eleotion to Congress by a majority of 750 is a further witness as to "the thoroughness with whioh he does things." He ran his campaign while running his farm and marketing his cattle making speeohes against his oppr nen tbetween trips to the station. In his speeohes he always, deals with the practical side of all questions. Instead of tell ing tome joke, whioh is always re membered to the exclusion of the point sought to ber illustrated by it. he tells his hearers how they may save two gtnta a pound on sugar, from two to five dollars on every suit of clothes, and so on down the list. And this method of oaspaigning.-which comes to him as naturally as breathing, is his best asset in vote winning. As a campaigner he is feared by every republican stamper in this ooantry A leading republican in this section said the other day he had rather ; run up against Locks Craig on the stump than Bob Doujhton. la hit campaigafor the Senate four years ago he literal ly ran his opponent off the stump, and as a voter recently expressed iths 'dipped Charles Cowles With Wilkes throwed in," and if the Legislature ' hadn't transferred this County to the Seventh dis trict, there are tnany who bebisve thit Bob.

Bob Doughton's friends believe that the farmer, should, have a least one represenative out of the 12 in Congress from North Oaro lina and their contention!; art both reasonable and just.- Count on Alleghany .'for a, much larger majority for him this year than ever before. He has been weighed in the balance and found - not wanting. Soores of republicans h a ve expressed their in tention to not only vote for him, but to get out' and work for him, recognising the fact that he is the servant of not only the democratio part but the whole people as well, and that he stands ready and willing to do any thing he can for 'every man in his district be he demo crat or republics n1 Alleghany Star.
