FEW BATTLES
ARE III SIGHT
Various State Officers Are Likely No
to Have Opposition For
Renomination
BIG FIGHT FOR SENATE
Tho Gentlemen Scrapping; For Place
Now Held lty Senntor Simmons
Simmons, Will Serve to Keep the
Atmosphere So Warm as to Cause
Other Patriots to Stay Out of the
Itace Pretty Late Day Anyhow
To Get In a Fight For on Office
Just a Little Dope.
There are no indications at the
present time that the various state
officers will have serious opposition
for renomination before the demo
cratic convention this summer. Only
one man has announced himself as a
candidate for nny office so far Mr.
S. G. Daniel, of Warrenton, who as
pires to become a member of the
corporation commission. His an
nouncement means that he will con
test with Mr. E. L. Travis appoint
ed commissioner by Governor Kitch
in to succeed Henry Clay Brown, for
the honor of holding down the job.
Both Mr. Travis and Mr, Daniel hail
from the same section of the state.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the Hon. Locke Craig, of Ashe
ville, will receive he nomination for
governor. The candidacy of Col. W,
C. Ncwland, of I.enoir, has not been
taken seriously, and it is doubtful Jf
the affable gentleman from Caldwell
has not. smiled' to himself all the
time he has been running for the
place. He has a right to run, but
"so far no combination has arisen
that is calculated to give the friends
of the Buncombe man a scare. Talk
of Mr. W. C. Tillett, of Charlotte
was the order a few months ago, but
Mr. Tillett said In so many words
that he did not have the desire or
money to engage In a campaign for
the nomination.
Xo Opposition Here.
Nobody has come out for the of
fices occupied by Mr. Jas. R. Young,
Insurance commissioner; Col. J.
Bryan Orimes, secretary of state;
Mr. B. R. Lacy, state treasurer; Mr.
M. L. Shipman, commissioner of la
bor and printing, and Maj. W. A.
Graham, commissioner of agricul
ture. It was not expected that any
body would contest for Dr. J. Y.
Joyner's office. Col. W. P. Wood,
state auditor, is filling an unexpired
term.
Wailed Too lonij.
Slnco it takes a long time to build
a strong political fence, it is reason
able to assert wtliout fear of placing
a crimp into the aspirations of the
office-chasers that the gentlemen
who have performed the duties of
the various state offices will be re
turned by their constituents for an
other term of fpur years. No politi
cally wise individual would essay to
divorce a man from his Job without
first taking a long start without
beginning a campaign at least a year
before the convention meets.
Tho Senatorship.
With these facts In mind it reason
ably can be assarted that the politi
cal fight this year will center on the
senatorship, and the four aspirants
for this office will have a lively
scrap. Governor KItchin will begin
the fireworks tomorrow night, and
from his speech will most likely date
the first real struggle for the office
of senator. The governor is as con
fident as can re, atfd his friends
think he will sweep the state.
Friends of Senator Simmons are
equally confident, however, and they
are banking on the ability of their
man to return to the senate. They
say he has met the Issues as they
: have arisen and that the attacks on
him have merely given him an op
portunity to present his side to the
people. Ex-Governor Aycock Is
probably the least active candidate
In the field. As yet he has done
very little, he Is leaving his candi
dacy, in the hands of his friends.
Later in the spring and the early
summer he Is expected to take the
stump and if he has anything like
his old Are he will arouse much en
thusiasm. Former Governor Glenn,
who Is stron'g with the masses, has
Indicated his purpose to strike a few
licks for Governor Aycock. Chief
Justice Walter Clark is busy just
now with the supreme court, but he
will : have a recess of a couple, of
months in the summer and he may
be expected tq supplement his let

AINSWORTH TO FACE
A COURT MARTIAL
M'ashington, Feb. 15. Adjutant
General Fred C. AinBworth, of the
army was retired from duty at the
war department pending considera
tion of disciplinary measures which
probably .will be taken. Col. H. P
McCain was directed to take Ains-
worth's place.
Ainsworth will be ordered before
i court martial. ; The charges are
based upon conduct prejudicial to
good order and discipline. Serious
friction has long existed between
Ainsworth and the general staff. The
crisis was reached by Ainsworth's
report to Secretary Stimson on
muster and payrolls. Stimson felt
Ainsworth used language impugning
Stlmson's integrity and fairness
Ainsworth characterized the stall;
proposal, "as a subterfuge 'that
would bo scorned by honorable
men." Stimson, in a note to Ains
worth, said his rudeness and ill-
temper had become habitual.

The couny school commissioners
pat-sod an order confirming their
previous decision dismissing Miss
iiesslo II. Catnip, assistant teacher
in tho Brentwood school, to take ef
fect today.
The resolution passed by Messrs.
Riddiek and Smith, and opposed by
K. S, White, set fortd that Miss Cat
nip "far exceeded her authority,"
and at times was "brutal to the chil
dren." Nearly a dozen letters and
a petition signed by 40 other patrons
requested the retention of Miss Cat
rup. Prof. A. U. P. Works, prlncl-'
lal of the school, declared that Miss
Catnip was a fine teacher, and a
disciplinarian. Messrs. Riddiek and
Smith both stated after the hearing-,
that they were not prejudiced against
Miss Catnip, and would be glad to
see her transferred to some other
school, where she would have larger
children as pupils, which will probi
ably be done.
