Hut in addition to the high person al qualilications cf her candidate, tihe flemocracy of Granville believes the 'l-c-st interests of the party require that the nomination thU ysar should come to this county. When the stroke began to lift from the disas trous battle fielld of two years ago, Granville stood alone among her sis ter counties as the one county in the District that increased her dem ocratic majority. Under the lead ership of Royster, as county chairmai in that year.after a campaign of un j.arallolled bitterness, she stood true and tmswervingly loyal to the democratic notninee. And this year the district looks rto Granville for its majority. Let Gran ville name the standard-bearer. We believe that the democrats of the District, who desire to see the "Imperial Fifth" permanently replac ed in the democratic column, ought to consider availability of Granville's candidate. "We nlede-p von if von i will nominate Royster, this district ;Jt-'l t'hail be redeemed.
