The Case of Senator Simmons.
Salisbury Port. J i
i Men and brethren, is it not about
time to let op on Senator Simmons?
We are one among those of his
f riends who deplored the extent to
which he engaged his activities in
the recent gubernatorial campaign,
feeling as we did that it would do
eood to no interest or person in
volved. We are still of that opinion,
but what one has not made a mis
take? Senator Simmons was made
to understand by - the Charlotte con
vention that his course was not en
dorsed, and the incident should have
been closed there. It appears, how
ever, that the feeling has extended
to Denver if we read correctly be
tween the lines the dispatches in this
morning's Charlotte Observer and
Raleigh News arid Observer from
their special representatives. !
: Senator Simmons has rendered the
Democratic party very great service,
and more than once at times when
his leadership was sorely needed. In
and out of season he has been a
Democrat of the uncompromising
kind, and he will be found in the
thick of this as of all campaigns tor
the past twenty-five years. Surely,
surely his fidelity and splendid ser
vice entitle him to immunity trom
persecution. ' 4
We realize that senator Simmons,
whether victor or vanquished, is in
capable of playing the baby act, and
needs no defense on the scores to
which we have just referred j but we
cannot resist temptation to suggest
that thw is not the year for the
Democrats of North Carolina to en
courage or even permit factional
fights, and even if this were not the
case simple justice demands that a
veteran in the ranks be conceded a
slight measure of forgiveness for an
indiscretion that cannot from any
point of view be regarded unpardon
able. .!
The fight on Senator Simmons
should be called off.

wet folks generally, refuse jto be in

of them have gone so far as to say
unless one party or the other puts
out wet men, they will runra wet
ticket of their own. Both democrats
and republicans who are wet appear
to be 'sot m their ways! on this
question, each declaring that they
will not support dry men on their
regular party ticket. At the same
time the county has numbers o:
men of both parties who are; equally
determined not to support wet men
for office. Political conditions have
never appeard so cut up and criss
