MR. WEAVER'S TITLE SHOULD BE CLEARED.
The tenth district election managers have certified to
the election of the Democratic candidate for Congress,
Mr. Zebulon Weaver, but there in grave doubt t" tho
mind of the rHrht-thlnkinz people of the State about Mr.
Weaver's election. In fact, whither he has recclvi- I a

Mr. Bryan wants to incite rivalry between the two
leading political parties of the Nation in the matter of a
'Mi prohibition plank in their platform four years hence. The
,Free Press hopes that the matter of banishing liquor from

politic. It is for the right-thinking and righteous men

The State Klectlon Hoard says that it li.is no uulhoiiiy to
go behind the returns, as it must accept ihi m as they are
returnwl by the district boaml. Then: must 'ie some way,
however, in which, this count can be checked and a square
deal insured both Messrs. Weaver and Bri!t. Technicali
ties should not be permitted to Interfere with justice.
If Mr. Brltt actually received the largest number of
votes on November 7, he is entitled lo be returned to
Congress. If, on the other hand, Mr. Weaver was ac
corded the majority, he Is entitled to the seat, but his
title should be perfectly clear. North Carolina doesn't
want to send representatives to Washington, whose titles
to office are tainted with even the suspicion of corruption
and fraud.
The Free Press hopes that If the State Democracy is
not courageous 'enough to Insist that this matter be clear
ed up beyond the shadow of doubt that when Mr. Wea
ver shall present his credentials at Washington, the rep
resentatives there will be big enough end broad enough
to Insist upon knowing that Mr. Weaver was chosen fair
,y and squarely, and that until such evidence Is given
he not be accorded a seat in the House of Representa
tive?. Democracy cannot afford to have its record stain
ed by anything that is questionable, and if Mr. Weaver
has been elected it ought to be an easy matter to prove
to the country that his title is clear.
AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Tho mid-winter meeting of the North Carolina Press
Association, the program of which Is being printed in
the news columns of today'a Free Press, to be held at
Chupel Hill December 7, 8 and 9, should be one of the
most important and beneficial meetings of the Associa
tion. For the first time In the history of the North Caro
lina Press Association a newspaper institute will he
held. In some of the northern and western states such
institutes have been held at the various state universi
ties, and the meeting in December at Chapel Hill is keep
ing step with thtt progress in that direction. Some dis
tinguished speakers and newspaper poople are on the
program. The sessions will be opened on Thursday night
with an address by former President Taft. Mr. Talcott
Williams and Walter Williams, noted journalists, will
make addresses, and 'Don Seitz, publisher of the New
York, World, will discuss the business end of the news
paper. Other practical subjects will be discussed by
leading members of the Association, and every newspaper
in the State should be represented. This institute should
be the beginning of an annual meeting in which the live
problems of the day confronting the newspaper fraterni
ty may be intelligently discussed.
