To What Length Will They Go.
Before the beginning of the cam
paign when Governor Kitchin out
lined his plan of warefare, we knew
the campaign would be one out of
which no good could grow to the
Democratic party and we have not
been mistaken. The Simmons peo
ple, in self-defense, have had to p&rry
thrusts. They have contented them
selves with that. The situation has
permitted of no attempt at the pres
ervation of party harmony but the
retrospect that is to be written will
show that the disturbance within the
party was forced by Governor Kitchin
and his friends. As the election has
drawn nearer, that have become only
the more recklessly disregardful of the
ir.t t reses of the Democracy of the
State. Governor Kitchin will not only
be badly defeated in his covetous de
signs upon Senator Simmons' seat, but
he is going to strew the State with
party wreckage which the managers
in the next campaign will have a sad
time in assembling and putting into
shape again. We want to see to what
1 ?ngth they will go in this battering
up ot the household furniture of the
State Democracy. It is an interesting
process and we shall not be glad when
the arrival of November 5 will call
time on it Charlotte Observer.
brow, as ,shown in his record as Gov
ernor of New Jersey.
6. He stands for the revival of our
merchant marine, and for the govern
ment encouragement of agiiculture.in-
dustrial and vocational education.
7. He trusts the people and believes
that the governed should govern; and
that Senators should be chosen by the
people.
8. He faithfully performs in office the
promises made out of office.
9. He will "Clean House" at Wash
ington as he has "Cleaned House" in
New Jersey.
10. He preaches and practices clean
politics, and practices it effectively.
He unalterably opposes machine poli
tices and the rule of the bosses.
11. He stands for legitimate big bus
iness every day, but for monopoly
never.
12. As Senator LaFollette says, "He
approaches every problem with the
solemn promise to be really, in the
highest sense, a servant of the people."

The following items are taken from
a sketch of Mark Sullivan in "Who's
Who in America ?":
"Sullivan, Mark, born in Avondale,
Pa , Sept. 10. 1874 Half owner of
Daily Republican, Phoeuixville, Pa.
Associate editor Collier's Weekly and
member of Republican Club. Address
116 W. 13th Street, New York."
This is the Republican fellow who
attacked Senator Simmons in Collier's
Weekly, which the Kitchin manager is
sending over the State to try to in
duce Democrats to vote against him.

Qualified as an Expert.
A correspondent from Goldsboro of
the 9th says : Yesterday in the Supe
rior Court of Wayne county. Judge
Ferguson presiding, during the trial of
a young man from the Fremont sec
tion of the county, who through his
counsel, E. W. Hill, had put in the plea
of insanity, and had among his witnes
ses to establish the mental condition
of his client that excellent physician
and enthusiastic Simmons Democrat,
Dr. Hayes. After Mr. Hill had qualfied
the doctor as an expert, and examin
ed him, he turned him over to Mr. W,
T. Dortch for cross examination.
Mr. Dortch is also an ardent suppor
ter of Senator Simmons, and after ask
ing the doctor one or two questions,
he fixed him with his eye, and said,
"Now, Doctor, I have one more ques
tion to ask you, and if you answer it
correctly I will not continue my cross
examination." The doctor threw him
self back, grabbed his chair with one
hand, and the railing in front with the
other, and settled himself for an ab
struse question on medical jurispru
dence when Mr. Dortch asked :
"Who, in your opinion, will be the
next Senator from the State of North
Carolina ?"
Quick as a flash came the answer.
"Senator F. M. Simmons."
"Right you are," said Mr. Dortch. as
he gracefully waved him off the stand,
while court joined in the hearty laugh
ter that followed.
