Meeting t be Held Tomorrow to Put
League on Sound Footing Fust
Players Kxpected.
(Special to The Times.)
Durhntti. N. C, May 18. The city
basejall league Is to be revived Fri
day - evening and a cull was Issued
for;, llutt . purpose yesterday h,v Alder
inan J. L. Moreheud.
Lust summer the league played
throughout the season and furnished
six weeks of mighty good baseball.
There were 'represented In that league
four teams. East Durham, West Dur
ham, the Durham Hosiery Mill und
thti Durham Y. M. (!. A. The penant
was won by the Hosiery Mill which
was far too strong for the others.
In this association there wen; .some
stars. Fitzgerald pitched for Rust
Durham and Hlggerstaff, the giant
dummy, twirled for the Hosiery Mill
team. He . lost one game. Bennett
caught him and 'Carroll and Huberts
were Infield stars on the team.
Bob (iantt pitched n portion of the
season for the Y. M. C. A. and ('apt.
W. W. Card of Trinity, was among the
players who won fame years ago and
4'dtne back last season. Spruce.
Trinity's catcher, was behind the bat
for West Durham and there were
ninny big college men.
This year Chapel Hill, "wants in."
H , would like to take, the room of
the Y. M. C. A.j which is a triflle
Kiibseuent about making application.
It holds the franchise, however, and
will likely come In. Chapel Hill would
enter upon exactly the same basis as
the Y.. M. C. A. did last year and that
Is very ugreeable to the fans here. ;
The games were right well patron
laed and this yeur it Is believed there
would be an Improvement over the
first attempt. Pructically all of the
old players are here, Spruce will again
captain West Durham und It Is be
lieved that Fltugerald will return,
(iantt cannot stay but the Chapel Hill
bunch can bring over some good ones.
The . intention of tomorrow's meet
ing Is to elect a head and arrange the
first double-header Saturday of next
week. What teams would line-up is
.not certain. The desire of the cranks
is to have us large number tomorrow
as '.possible.

.Mr. Johnston's Letter.
Marion, N. C. May 10,
Hon. Walter Clark,
Raleigh, N. C.
My Dear Sir: . , .
May I presume to ask ' whethe
you will be a candidate for th
United States senate? Other candi
dates are active in their own behalf,
and delay by you in announcing you
candidacy, 11 you are to run, will
only embarrass those who would' lik
to support you,
I think your entering the contest
upon a platform of principles will
tend to prevent it from being based
on personalities; and your candl
dacy will present an issue that will
be an inspiration to those of us wh
place principles first, and the ques
tion as to who shall hold office
secondary.
Your residence In the section
the state from which it Is generally
supposed the senator should come
and your record which is In line with
the progressive ideas of tbe demo
cratic party, and all other consldora
Hons seem to me to make it proper
for you to become a candidate.
The modern trend of political
thought is progressive, and the ten
ueucy is to reorganize the govern
ment so as to give the people a larg
er voice In its affairs, and to make
their interests the first consideration
These ideas have been represented
by your attitude for more than
quarter of a century, and as the peo
ple are adopting them it is fitting
that you should be the candidate if
these ideas are to be the issues.
.-It is impossible to satisfactorily
present a political Issue in the ub
struct. It can only be done in con
nection With thp cundidacy of some'
one for office upon a platform of
principles.
More than a declaration of prln
clples' , is necessary. It must be
made by a man whose record squares'
with - his prof esion.
It is-iinportant that the man tvho
represents1 us talks right, and votes
right ;n and it is equally Important
tffat He .do this with seal nhd unself
ishness. r.H
The times and conditions call for
a man who will stand aggressively
fofihis convictions, at the sacrifice
if necessary, of opprtunity . to hold
office.
Your deep-seated and well known
convictions upon public questions
and your aversion to any compromise
of principle afford you an opportun
ity by becoming a candidate, to ad
vance the cause of progressive de
mocracy..
These are the reasons why I
should be glad to see you run.
1 do not forget the fact, however,
that the young men, as well as your
old comrades in arms, are deeply
appreciative of the services you ren
der us an by devoting your vaca
tions and all other spare time for 15
years of your life, to arranging and
preparing for publication the Colon
ial Records, and editing the history
of Jhe North Carolina Regiments in
the Civil War.; The glory of the
state which is recorded as a result
of your sacrifice of labor and money
is a monument to your patriotism.
You now have the opportunity to
render further service, both to the
party and the state,' by becomtijg.a
candidate for the United States sen
ate. Very truly yours,
t A. HALL JOHNSTQNV
Judge Clarks Announcement. .
In response to the request con
tained In Mr. Johnston's letter, Chief
Justice Clark wrote the following let
ter: . . , ... .
Raleigh, N. C, May 17, 1911.
Hon. A. Hall Johnston,
." Marlon, N. C.
My Dear Sir:
Your esteemed favor to hand. I
have received many similar inquiries
both personally and by letter, from
other friends.
The recent decision of the federal
supreme court, rendering necessary
additional legislation for the sup
pression of . the trusts, has trans
ferred the decision' of the question
whether the people' Of ' this country
are powerful enough to control them
to the arena of the senate, for the
people have. ; already1 ""captured the
house of representatives. The same
Is true as id the tariff. It is in the
senate that the contest for the con
trot of this ' government must be
fought out between the people and
the interests. The. choice of every
senator will be closely supervised
by tbe special interests. The people
cannot afford to be' less wide awake.
If we are to bring our government
back to the people and are to saver It
from the continued control of selfish
and personal Interests, it is import
ant that the voters shall know; be
forehand, with exactness, 'the views
entertained by every candidate for
fjbat he w.
'0
est in standing tor those views after
be is , chosen . as,, be as zealous in
professing them before his election
Having decided, after tonsultatio
with friends, to submit to the peopl
of this state the offer of ni service
on their behalf in the great stmggle
which must take place In the senate
I take this means of expressing m
views for tneir approval. Thev ari
views which I have long entertains
ana orten puoiiciy expressed.
I belong to what.,, far want of
better name, is called the 'progressive
democracy, but wh(ph ia fact is slm
ply a return to Jefffraonian democ
racy, and to the feMaration of our
fathers that all government .derives
Its just powers fronj the consent o
the governed and is created Bolofy
for their benefit. This idea is em
bedded in our stater and federal eon
itltutlons, but or the last"40yeais
It has been generally treated as. a
mere rhetorical expression. We
should return In eut Ire sincerity to
the idea expressed by Lincoln of
government of the people, by the
people, and for the people'V
I." I advocate and have advocated for
30 years a tariff for revenue only
and am opposed to protection jn any
form under guise of a tariff;, tot1 rev
enue only. I earnestly lavor amend
ments to the constitution of the
United States by which (1) ttift'
United States senators shall be elect
eu oy.-tne people, i ins measure, so
long demanded by the. popular will
has often passed the house of repre
sentntlves, but until very recenlly
has been 'contemptuously- treated'. by
the senate Itself. (2) The federal
judges should also be made elective
by the people of their respective dis
tricts and circuits; and for a term of
years as our. state judges are chosen
Nearly 100. years 'ago Mr. Jefferson
saw the tendency of the present un
democratic system of (lie life tenure
for the judges and the method of
their selection, and .advocated the
change which I now propose. How
ever honest and able judges may be
experience nas proven that , men
chosen as they are, and holding for
life, are not in accord wu.i the re
forms and measures demanded by the
needs of . the people. Originally all
the state judges were selected in the
same manner that is still retained
In the appointment of federal judges
and held for life,-but In nearly every
state the -.evils . of that method have
long 'since caused a.chanEre to noun
lac election and for a, term of vears.
The evil, is even v greater, .when ap
plied to federal judges, and should
not; "be -permitted to continue. '.(:)
The postmasters of the south have
been appointed since the war, with
the exception of a fsjy years, by the
influence of local cliques of .politic
fans - of the minojiity party. The
postmasters should, Je. elected by the
people in districts tlaid off by law
fjor joac h pqstpfAce; for. ,a Jerm of fou
years,, and .be chosen at the same
fime and in the same manner as
members, of congress, the people oi
each, locality electing their postmns-
ter.. This, as well as the election ot
Judges, is a much needed measure of
decentralization, restoring local self
government and depriving presidents
of the power of nsirfg their oihce to
secure renoniination.
That the people may have the
necessary control of their own gov
eminent, I earnestly advocate the
initiative, referendum and also the
recall as to such' officers, as by law
it may be provided.
In the absence of a legalized pri
mary for . both political parties
advocate a state-wide primary to be
held on the same day, for the nomi
nation by the democratic party of all
state officers and also of a candidate
for .the United States senate, under
rules and" regulations be prescribed
by the democratic state executive
committee, and with strict restric
tion, of. the purposes for which money.
can be expended by any candidate or
his friends for him, and with entire
publicity. of all items of expenditures
both, before and after the primary is
held.' ' All, good men earnestly desire
that vigorous and decided steps shall
be taken to break up an evil which
threatens' party supremacy, and
which, if hot checked, will ultimately
and inevitably place the selection of
all Important officers in the hands
Qf great aggregations of capital. If
no candidate- for senator shall re
ceive a majority at the first primary,
choice can be made at a second prl
mary1 between the two receiving the
highest vote. - ,
Thanking you for the -kind expres
sions In your letter, I shall be grate
ful for'bhe support in -this contest, ot
all who agree with me In, the neces
sity, of earnest steps to restore the
government to the people: and to
purge our primaries and. elections
from , the influence and the use ot
money. Most truly yours,.
