NOV. 16th. 1912, We are glad to see that President elect Wilson has put his foot down on cabinet makers. This is a matter to be determined, he says, only after de liberate and mature consideration and c mnsel and not by the gossip of the politicians. Woman suffrage is comirg along slo vly. It w on Tuesday in four of the five States where it was submitted to the vf.frs. These four States, Michi gan, Kansas, Oregon and Arizona, will more than double the number of fe male voters in the United States. Col. Al Fairbrother, editor and pub lisher of Everything, spoke a parable in his last issue, thusly: 'The good roads question should be settled in the nfxt four years. There is a field for all statesmen, and the statesmen who is big enough to force the issue in Con gress will be immortal." The National Guard Association of tV United States will be in session at Norfolk Eec?mber 2 and 4, and Gov. Kitchin, artiDg through AdjutantGen eral Gordon Smith, has appointed del elites on the part of this State to the Convention. The delegates are Acting Adjutant General Smith, ex-officio, General B. S. Royster. Oxford; Capt. S. C Chambers, Durham ; Captain F. L. Black, Charlotte; Capt. I. H. Kearney, Franklin ton. Democrats should get together all along the line and not fight amoDg themselves now that the party has been overwhelmingly entrusted with power. Already we see that a fight led by W J Bryan is to be made on Senator Simmons to preyent him from becoming Chairman of the Finance Committee of the United States Sen ate. Bryan tried to defeat his nomi nation for the Senate in the primary 'just closed, and we confidently believe he will win out in the Senate as he i3 the great leader of tariff reform. Vote in Congressional Dis tricts in the State- In the ten Congressional districts in North Carolina with figures obtainable Senator Simmons polled 80,000 votes. Gov. Kitchin ran second with 46,016, and Judge Clark third with 15,383. The closest of the districts were the first aud the second, the home of Governor Kitchin once being in the second, now the home of Congressman Claude Kitchin. They varied but a trifle from a thousand either way. In the first, Simmons leads Kitchin 1,237 and in the second Kitchin beats Simmons 1,035. In the third, the home of the Senator, he has a majority of 5,359 over both, and in the fourth his majority is 79 over both of his oppo nents. " The Kitchin district, the fifth, gives the Governor 2,624 over both oppo nents and in the sixth, without Bruns wick and Columbus, Simmons has a clear majority of 3.465. In the seventh Simmons runs ahead of both oppo nents 4,201, and in the eighth, without Watauga, Simmons has 4,607 over the other candidates. In the ninth, the majority over all is "4,099 without Catawba and Avery and in the tenth, without Polk, there is the big majority of 6,870 against the.field. As those counties not heard from are known to be largely for Senator Sim mons, its fairly Diobable that the ma jority will go to 24,000 and may reach a higher figure. Avery county is claim ed by both Simmons and Kitchin. Senator Simmons has a majority over both in three districts and a plu rality over his next highest competitor in another, while Gov. Kitchin has a majority in only one and a plurality in but one. It will readily reaching the south afternoon stroll. be observed that pole is no Sunday We may hear next that they have decided in China to do something for the ultimate consumer. Yale has given up basketball. What Is to become of our colleges If this sort of thing keeps up?
