FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1916
Dame rumor Is busy as n bee these days forming a
new esfbinet for Mr. Wljson. Congressional leaders, suc
cessful campaign managers, Progressive supporters and
every fallow with the slightest trace of a suspicion of de
sire or qualification for a cabinet portfolio Is being as
signed a berth. In the meantime the President and his
official family are sawing wood and saying nothing.
. According to custom President Wilson has proclaimed
Thursday, November 30 as the Nation's annual Thanks
giving day. There is to much to be thankful for in this
peace-loving, peeceabldW Nation of ouip that the setting
aside of a whole week would not be amiss. Let us count
our blessings and show our appreciation not only on No
vember 80th tout each day that the All-wise Ruler of the
Universe sees fit to bless us with.

operative effort to give the matter a fair trial than by
fighting; and likewise will the employes gain public co.
fidence and respect by manifesting a disposition to await
a reasonable time for such investigation.
FOR A SQUARE DEAL.
Congressman Brltt of the Tenth Js'orth Carolina dis
trlct, Republican candidate for re-election, has appealed
to the people of the State for a "Minute deal." He
claims that he has been fairly elected and that his right
ful office is about to be taken from him by fraudulent
methods.
The race in the Tenth district has hern very close. It
has been a sea-saw affair, each side claiming victory by
a very narrow .margin. There are tricks In all trades
and unfortunately the game of politics Is no exception,
'n such close and exciting races fraudulent methods will
te employed some times and those who are guilty escape
being held to account.
We know nothing about the particulars in the Tenth
district. Mr. Britt alleges that he wag penalized more
than a hundred votes in his district because of the ruling
of the Board of Elections, that each ballot must be prop
erly marked, had bee Ignored Vy some of his consti
tuents and on I ho other hand in ofher precincts his Demo
cratic opponent, Mr. Weaver, Is being given credit for
such ballots in spite of the ruling of the State Board of
Elections. If such is the case It ought to be possible
to remedy the matter. Mr. Britt asKS for a "square deal"
and The Free Press believes that the people of North
Carolina want to see him get a square deal.
The Free Press has been hopeful that Mr. Weaver would
be elected and thus 'enable North Carolina to send a solid
Democratic delegation to Congress. We believe, howeve',
we speak tho sentiment of the good people of this State
when me say that we want no congressman, whose elect
Ion has to b made by chicanery or fraudulent method).
If Mr. Britt secured the largest , number of votes in his
district, he unquestionably ought to be returned to Con
gress. If he did not, his opponent Mr. Weaver 3hou!d
sent. Let's have a fair and square count irrespective
of who wins.

DEMOCRACY'S DEFICIT.
Another call has been issued by the State Demon atic
Committee asking for assistance in paying off the debt
of $1100,000, which was expended over and above receipts
uting the campaign for the re-election of President Wil
son. Worth Carolina will certainly have a part m paying
for this debt. It should be a source of encouragement
and congratulation to all Democrats to feel that Presi
Wilson was re-elected In spHe of the fact that elections
are eometlmes bought and that the Republican party
was provided with ample funds and is reputed an certain
sections of the country to have expended lavishly and
with seeming disregard. Results irrespective of the cost
seems to have been the elogan of the party of special in
terests and as has been emphasized repeatedly in these
columns the Democratic leaders had to look to the rank
Adamson eight-hour law through the Injunction route.
The expediency of this law, it has been understood, was
to be tasted and investigated by a competent commission
and upon the findings of such a tribunal will depend the
ultimate! and permanent result of the legislation, which
was enacted to avert a nationwide strike. The railroads
will gain more by sincerely entering Into a great co-
make the necessary campaign. The Free Press hopes
that the State at large and that Lenoir County will re
spond to the call from National committeeman MoLean
and help wipe out this obligation as early as possible. It
shcuM bo a comparatively easy matter, if there Is general
response from the supporters of Mr. Wilson, to take .care
of the deficit.

INVESTIGATE DEATHS
FROM TYPHOID FEVER
gliah sanitarian has said .that ev
erytime one dies from typhoid fever
sameone should be hanged. Aside
from these views and in the litrht of
modern medical science, typhoid
deaths are now admittedly the result
of sanitary blunders or criminal care
lessness, and instead of a death from
typhoid passing as providential, un
avoidable, or for some mysterious
reason, its source will be sought out
and the responsibility placed where
it rightly belongs.
