PARTY WILL WAGE FIGHT ON PLAN DISLODGE SHELTON Committee of Lawyers Ap pointed to Investigate the Matter Wentworth, May 21.—The ticket named by the Republican Convention here yesterday is considered a strong ticket, especially in view of the split in the Democratic ranks. But the outstanding blunder made by Democrats, that no one filed for Senator until the date for filing had passed. Somewhere within the confines ol Rockingham county or around about the Capital Building at Ra'eigh, n simp of -a bonehead “fusticates” our files and records where Senatorial Statesmen secure party tickets to ride towardsthe legislative Mill of the Ola North State. Correspandence read before the Ke> publican County Convention here yes. terday, needed no further evidence of the existence of a bonehead behind somebody’s flat top desk, that doesn’t know the difference between the credit and debit side of a ledger. According to Squire L. J. Sheltons statement to the convention, he run ning on a “Double-barrelled ticket' for State Senatorial honors of the highest magnitude. Shelton feels so close to the gates of the Capital that he said, “there gentlemen, can you beat it” after he had finished reading the letters, cer tificates, receipts and schedu'e of ex pense account he was supposed to pay as a “double header.” Shelton pointed out that it was a strange distortion of law that com- , pelled a Republican candidate to file with "the State Board of Elections within a certain date and then let th Democrats file with the County Board whenever they got ready regardles1 of the 'aw. He contended that he filed as a Republican candidate for Senator within the lagal date; that after the legal date expired and no Democrat j having filtd from Rockingham Coun ty, the tSate Board of Elections very properly issued to him the Democrat!* 1 certificate; for he contends, that bthei wise the county might not have any representation in the Senate as Guil. ford county would do that every elec ing that was done. Shelton called attention to the let ter several times, all of which showed that this was the view expressed b> the State Board of Elections and now they want Shelton to return the certi ficate and they would' issue anothei “The truth” he said, is that no' Demo crat fi'ed within the required time “The Democrats,” said he fell intr the trap built for fche Republicans, st also “they hanged Hamon on the gal lows the he had prepared for Morde cai.” “ ‘Tis gome mess they got themsel ves into while keeping the Democra machine oiled.” They “combined” two counties, Rockingham and Guilford, “so that no Repub ican could be elect ed from either one,” and now the., “refuse, to file under their own law.' Kept the gate open until the Reids ville election was over for Jim Sharp. The Convention before adjourning yesterday on the suggestion of Numr R. Reid appointed a committee con si8ting of J. R. Joyce, C. M. Land and Harry L. Fagge to investigate the Shelton matter. jf/AR MEMORIAL TO COST $1,000,000 (By Associated Press) Los Angeles, May 21.
