Friday, Sept. 8, 1916 The Brotherhoods wanted arbitrary not arbitrational methods. Business looking up again in London according to late news dispatches of Zeppelin raids. And the dear old "Bremen" which was captured, sunk, etc., has now sailed for Baltimore. A little over eight weeks to the November elections and the Hughes campaign floundering worse than ever. An Honorable Campaign It surely must be love of party which "passeth all understand ing" which induces the Republi can "stalwarts" to run for office in Halifax. Vote for Solicitor John H. Kerr, of Warren, for Judge of the Third Judicial District in the Primary Saturday. The strike was averted -- but by the very primitive strategy of complete surrender. French troops capture "Om miecourt" and"Marriere"wood who said the French were not romantic. We expect that old Col. Front Page Colyum is going to allow the European war to drag along by itself most of the time be tween now and the celebrated Tuesday in November. It looks like Uncle Sam is get ting ready to restrain a few of John Bull's lawless activities by the only method that seems to be effective in this very material world of ours - the employment of retaliatory measures. Yes the "public will pay the bill" brought about by the grant ing of the Brotherhoods demands and let us not forget that the big majority of the public who pays this bill are far below financially the condition of the Brotherhoods themselves. Don't forget the Democratic primary for the nomination of a judge for the Third Judicial Dis trict. This primary will be held to-morrow, Saturday, September 9. All democrats who will be eligible to vote in November, whether they are registered now on not, are entitled to partici pate. A Plan Suggested Speaking of uniform county ac count keeping, standardized an nual balance sheets, and audi tors of county bookkeeping, Mr, E. S. Millsaps of Statesville writes: "The idea is a good one. Make the matter the duty of the State Auditor, and let him appoint one - man in each Congressional Dis trict to look after the auditing of the books in his district the first year after his appointment and then in the second district the next year, having each al ternate district auditor represent a different political party,. For instance let District One be a Democratic District, Two a Republican District and so on. Then let these auditors alternate as dp the judges, one following the other. "Some counties are Democrat ic and others are Republican. This auditing board will be non partisan, and no auditor would To The Democratic Voters Of The Third Judicial District: After the appointmnt of Hon. Francis D. Winston Judge by Governor Craig, I took charge of Judge Winston's campaign and have since done what I could to promote his interests. I havestead ly adhered to this rule laid down by him; not to say nor do any thing that would in the remotest possibility reflect on his opponent or upon any one who opposed him. I defy any man to show that either I or any friend of Judge Winston have varied in the least from those instructions. We have conducted a clean and honorable campaign. I regret, however, to say that, for the past week, letters have come to me, giving detailed in formation of time and place of the most reprehensible methods used and slanderous statements made against Judge Winston in a few localities about the District. I will not go further into them in this letter. I leave those who have made them to , answer at that bar of conscience which later will lash every man who does another an intentional wrong. I have no concern with the author of those methods or with those who assist in them. I do have a concern with those highminded and fairminded voters who condemn such meth ods both in political warfare and in private life and who beileve in fair play and are willing to work to see fair play obtained. I ask that the Democratic voters of this District condemn such meth ods in the approaching primary. When this campaign ends and Judge Winston is nominated, he will be greatly sustained by the knowledge that he has done no act and spoken no word nor author ized either to be used to the hurt of any man's character or Demo cracy anywhere in this District. He has never wanted to rise by the unfair or unjust defeat of any human being. With the passing days, the people have been giving the matter of select ing their candidate for Judge in this District that serious concern which its importance demands. Wherever they are doing so, the sentiment in favor of nominating Judge Winston has grown daily and strongly. He has nothing to fear from a proper considera tion of this most important mat ter. His best campaign is the character he has established as a highly useful public and private citizen. He fears no criticism; he shuns no truth ; he respects honoroble opposition. I urge the Democratic voters of the District to attend the primary on September 9th and to support him with their votes and in fluence. I Jam sure I do not need to urge the importance of having an able Judge. Every man who considers life and property knows that.

Political Advertuing A Suiencnt I have been reliably informed that statements are being made freely by certain parties to the flP.AAli.T . .- 1 1 aneci inai 1 am not a candidate for the position of tax collector for this township for the coming year. I wish to inform the public generally and my friends in particular that these statements sre absolutely false and I con- aider it very unfair that such statements should have been made. W. P. Vaughan, Tax Collector. To the Democratic Voters of the Third Judicial District: We, the undersigned citizens, of Warrenton, North Carolina, the home of Honorable John H. Kerr, who is a candidate for nomination of Judge of this district to succeed Judge R. B Peebles, deceased before the primary to be held in this district on the 9th day of September, 1916, with pleasure and pride desire to commend Mr. Kerr to be citizens of our district and bejr that you give him active support for this position: We do this because of our great esteem for him, and because we know of his splendid fitness for this office and great honor. Mr. Kerr, having been our Solicitor for ten years in this district, is well known to most of the people; he has filled the office of Solicitor with signal ability and, we be lieve, to the entire satisfaction of the people of the district;but we, his home people, know him best, and wish to testify to his high personal character and to his ideal home life. He stands in this community for the highest ideals and those things which tend to make our County and our State better; he is a lawyer of arge attainments and great suc cess, and we believe will adorn the bench of this Slate and be the equal of any of his splendid predecessors: With this charac ter and these attainments, he is besides a loyal democrat and has never swerved when he could do service to the party and the white citizenship of this State.
