As to the Coming Election.
In an interview with Chairman
Brummitt Monday last regarding the
rules governing the holding of the
Senatorial primary he has this to say
relatives to the qualifications of those
who will be permitted to participate in
the election:
Section four of the rules is a follows:
"'That all electors who shall have voted
the Democratic ticket in the election
on said Tuesday, November. 1912, shall
be entitled to vote in either or both
primary elections herein provided for."
Sec. 10. The poll-holders in each
precinct shall open and close the polls
for the primary as hereinbefore pro
vided; shall permit only such electors
who shall have voted the Democratic
ticket in the general election on said
day to vote in said primary election;
shall determine all challenges; shall
record the name, ages and post-office
addresses of all electors voting in said
primary elections in two poll-books;
shall count the votes and make out
and sign the returns thereof in dupli
cate; shall transmit or deliver said re
turns in duplicates together with the
poll books to the chairman of the
Democratic Committee of the countv
on or before Tuesday. Nov. 7. 1912, at
12 o'clock, noon."
On Tuesday night, Oct. 24, the State
Committee adorted the" following ad
ditional ruling on the question of who
should be permitted to vote in the
primary: "Resolved, That in the
opinion of the Committee the words
"Democratic ticket," as used in the
fourth and tenth rules governing the
Senatorial primary, adopted by the
State Convention, shall be construed
to permit any elector, who shall have
voted for the nominees of the Demo
cratic party only, and who shall not
have voted for any candidate or any
ticket in opposition to the Democratic
ticket, to vote in said primary.
The meaning of these rules is clear
and plain. The electors who wish to
vote in the Senatorial primary must
first vote in the general election for
Democratic nominees only. While the
rule adopted October 24 permits some
scratching," it plainly provides that
no man who votes for a single Repub
lican can participate in the Senatorial
primary. The modified rule does not
state how much of the Democratic
ticket the elector must vote, but he
must vote for more than one Demo
cratic nominee, for the rule says he
must vote for "Democratic nom.nees."
and must not vote for any nominee of
any opposition party.
The poll-holders for the primary at
the several precincts must pass upon
the qualifications of those who offer to
vote and in doing so will, of course,
exercise their best judgment and ap
ply such tests as they may deem neces
sary and expedient. We take it that
ordinarily the Democratic poll-holders
in their regular election can examine
the ticket of the voter and state to the
primary poll-holders as to whether the
voter has complied witn tne require
ments of the rule
The County Executive Committee
will meet Thursday, November 7. to
canvas the returns, and the poll-holders
are expected to make a report for
their precinct to this meeting

The County Campaign.
Saturday the candidates were at
Berea and addressed an audience of
about 40 voters. Messrs J. B Powell
and John Stedmau made their an
nouncements which were kindly re
ceived by the people, and Capt. Devin
made a most excellent speech. Hav
ing recovered from his attack of sick
ness will be at all the other appoint
ments. He is making a most attrac
tive speech that is winning friends for
him throughout the countv.
Gen. B -S. Royster was also with the
candidates at Berea and in his usual
happy style made a telling speech for
the cause of Democracy. This is the
first speech Gen. Royster has made in
the campaign, and it is hoped that he
can be induced to fill other appoint
ments. In a clear, forceful manner he
discussed both State and National is
sues and without giving offense to any
Republican invjted them to come over
and join the Democracy.
This week there will be speaking
nearly every day. Tuesday afternoon
the candidates will be at Oak Hill and
that night they go to Cornwall. Thurs
day afternoon they speak at Bullock
and at night at Stovall. Friday night
the speaking will be at Dexter and on

A. & M. Defeats Horner.
Two hundred peopie witnessed the

defeat Horner Military School on Hor

a score cf six to nothing in favor of
A & M. The outcome of the game
was a disappointment, lor the impres
sion prevailed that the Horner team
was able to put up a stout game. The
Horner team went down before their
husky rivals as a result cf superior
I weight, and not for a lack of skill or
kuowledge ot the game, ine norner
team plaved a very clean game and
revealed much concerted work. Not
a score was a walkover, and the A &
M fought hard for ail they won, and
each time the oval went over on hard
scrimmage. The feature of the game
was Aycock's run for a touchdown for
A. & M. and English's line bucking for
Horner.
VOLUME 25. NO. 98
PICTURE ON A POST-CARD.
Governor Kitchin Relies on
Unsavory Campaign
Trick for Gains.
With the election onlv one wpk ff
Governor Kitchin resorts tn a vprv
unfair and distasteful trick, honind that
his deception will carry him through,
out it is iortunate that his unjust
methods were discovered in time to
saddle them on him good and strong.
Governor Kitchin's latest trick is
told in a very few words. He procured
some days ago a large number of post
cards, on which is printed the pictures
of Governor Wilson and Wm. Jennings
cryan ot course it would not do to
leave Goyernor Kitchin's picture off,
and to grace the beauty of the scene
the Governor walks up and takes his
seat between the two great leaders. The
card is printed in black a rather cheap '
looking affair, to be sure, and reminds
one ot the trick the photographers of
Washington practice on the egotistical
visitors who would appear great among
men, by photographing him seated in
the blue room with the Presidpnt
A casual glance at the card reveals
the fact that our own dear William is
in very nice company, but ihe pictured
is somewhat marred by the sardonic
smile of Mr. Brvan and the frown of
the school teacher, Mr. Wilson, who
cannot approve of William's actions.
William became so audacious that it
was necessary for Mr. Wilson to re
prove him in public. This Mr. Wilson
did in a letter, which we print at the
head of the second column on the ed
itorial page ot this paper, signed, "J. T.
Tumulty, Secretary of the Governor,"
and bears the big red seal of the great
State of New Jersey.
There is another thing that Governor
Kitchin is guilty of in these latter days
of grace which does not meet the ap
proval of good men, and he abided his
time to spring it on an innocent peo
ple down in Moore county last week.
Heretofore the Governor always pre
faced his remarks with the statement
that his opponent, Senator Simmons,
was a yery fine man, and that it must
be distinctly understood that he knew
nothing that detracted from his moral
character. Mr. Kitchin, it is alleged,
insinuated from the stump last week
that he had something "up his sleeve"
against Senator Simmons' moral fiber.
He has been requested to enlighten
the people now as to what it is, and
not wait till the "we small" hours of the
campaign to plung the dagger. It is
indeed a pleasure to know that a great
God watches over the destiny of his
people even in the dark days of a
inglorious campaign.
