J. M. Fuirley for Representative
Editor Journal:
We suggest to the people of Un
ion county Mr. J. M. Fairley, Sr., for
one of tho representatives from I n
Ion county in the next General As
sembly.
Mr. Fairley would be unwilling to
enter the race if It required
a "scramble" to nominate him, but
eminent qualification and peculiar
fitness for that honorable position
makes him a most desirable candl
date. He would make one ot the
best and most useful members of
that body.
He has served the people of the
county In the past and always with
great credit.
His big heart beats In sympathy
for the welfare of his people, and
wherever the county's interest Is
there are and have always been his
best efforts.
You always know where to find
him on any public question. He
hns had long experience in public
affairs, and his judgment la ex
cellent and he Is honest to the core
Further, he Is the highest typo of
a Southern gentleman, which, com
bined with his honesty of purpose
wisdom and ability would make him
a commanding figure and most, use
ful member to the General Assent
bly.
With him and any of tho other
candidates the Interest of tho peo
ple would be safe.

instructed Mr. R. F. Be-'sley to tel-
euranh the fact to the Wilson head
miiirtcrH In New York, which he did
In a Khort time tho following reply
was telecranhed from New York:
"Telegram received. Much appre
ciated. Hearty congratulations. The
outcome in Ohio Is especially uiunu-
nnting. Governor Wilson defeating
Harmon In his own home district
slirnlficant. Woodrow Wilson's lioul
tiintlon would Insure his election.

this year upon defeat. With Wilson
elected we would again have a chief

Would Have Been Acquitted.
Senatore Gore of Oklahoma, the
wonderful blind orator of the I. S.
Senate, spoke in Raleigh in behalf
of Governor Wilson. He made n
telling local hit when ho spoke of
the many North Carolinians who are
now in Oklahoma. "We have a Su
nreiue Court Justice of North Caro
lina, our first State Superintendent
of Public Instruction was a North
Carolinian. Half the North Crrolln
ians out there hold office and the
other half wants to hold it. (Laugh
ter.) We don't blame them for re
turning, though, If they wish. It
was a great regret to us that Friend
Little (Mr. J. C. Little) shculd have
decided to return to your State. It
was the universal belief thnt If he
had remained, he would have been
acquitted. (Great laughter.)
Should County Officer He Placed
On Salaries?
Editor Monroe Journal:
Inasmuch as a large per cent of
the taxpayers of Union County are
In favor of salaries for county offi
cials wouldn't It be practical and de
sirable to submit this proposition to
be voted upon at the approaching
county primaries? Since this Is an
economic question In' which all tax
payers are Interested, It might be
more satisfactory to submit It at the
general election so that all may
have an opportunity to express their
preferences, regardless of party af
filiation. J. Z. GREEN.
