SENATOR S1MMQNS SHOULD BE

Correspondent Commonwealth.
Mr. Editor: I have recently
been m several counties in the
central and eastern section of the1
1
State, and to my great pleasure I
found Governor Kitchin 's friendsj
very enthusiastic over his daily
increase of supporters. Thei
plain Deople of North Carolina1
cannot understand why Senator;
Simmons will not meet Governor.
Kitchin in debate and defend his
"special interests" record. Is it
that he cannot? 'Is he afraid to
face the Democratic voters with
the Governor and correct or
deny the charges preferred
against him? If the charges are
true as to his violation of Demo
cratic principles, then he ought
not to be re-elected. If they are
untrue, then he ought to meet
the Governor and let the people
see. he is sincere in his
Democracy the Senator
is afraid to stand up and
meet the Governor in his own
State and before his own consti-
A . 1 t 1 A 1 4
ems ana aeiena his own re
cord. I ask his most ardent sup
porters is he a fit person to send
to the Senate to represent this
grand Commonwealth?
Governor Kitchin has not said
one word about Senator Sim
mons' personal record. His
charges are against his political
record, which is always open for
public discussion. No Democrat
will deny this.
If Governor Kitchin were the
only one who says Senator Sim
mons ought to be defeated there
might possibly become, semblance
of an excuse for the Senator to
refuse to meet him, but such is
not the case. The late lamented
and honored
ex-Governor Ay-
cock, who
was always one of
Senator Simmons' close personal
and political friends, in his last
message to the Democrats of
North Caralina said he should
be defeated; Chief Justice be de
feated, and a great majority of
the Democrats all over the State
say he sould be defeated.
His voting tor Lorimer ought
to defeat him, Why did he
change in the test trial when
there was 'no new eyidence?
Had he felt the people's pulse?
His 'votes with Aldrich against
the Democratic platform and for
protection ought to prevent his
re-election.

MCNINCH CLAIMS BIG
GAINS FOR KITCHIN
Frank R, McNich, of Charlotte,
manager of the Kitchin Senatoria
campaign in the State, yesterday
claimed a majority of at least 25.-
000 votes for Kitchin on the firs
ballot, .anq said he was as certain
iiitcniri wouia oe nominated as
anything in the world. He said
that three months ago he
wouldn't have claimed such
a
j majority, but now there has re
suited a jjreat change all over the
State in which the swing hai
tbeen over, to the Kitchin forces.
I Mr, McNincb said as vigorous
v. .
ja campaign as possible handicap
ped by the lack of funds, is being
waged and will continue to be
Waged, and that the campaign
fund had been contributed to
chiefly by friends of the Gover
nor and .dtfferent Democratic
leaders over the State. He expres
sed the hope that Kitchin and
5immons would get together in a
joint debate, believing this would
appeal to the voters as the be?t
way of clearing up the issues.
Mr. McNinch said that in the
last three weeks there has been a
remarkable trend in the State to
ward he cause of the Governor
He said Senator Simmons could
not stand the searchlight that
had been thrown on his record
and that it would be an egregious
blunder to elect both Wilson and
bimmqps wnen one is a progres
sive Democrat and the other a
reactionary. The latter, said he,
beinoutof , harmony - with . the
leaders Bryan and Wilson, would
tMuderamftijse-vQrri)r(fesuve-
texause oii Drosi
Democracy. .
These changes, he claimed, have
beet going on rapidly all foyer
North Carolina, in the various
counties of the State, and in 'Guil
ford county, and the result, said
he, would mean thej defeat of
Simmons and the election of
Kitchin. Greensboro News.
Paint?
There aretwol Igood reasons
for painting often-enough or even
too-often. One, to look prosper
ous; two, tobe so, - '
Nothing does one more credit
or gives one more credit than
paint, supplemented of course by
what goes with it; and paint costs
nothing.
True, the first cost is $5 or $6
a gallon put-on; but it saves more
than than that in the property;
saves it from slow going down
not always slow; -it drops with a
jump when water gets in on wood
and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing
kept dry by paint.
Better paint when it needs it.
Paint never goes-down in the
sense of being more profitable
next year.

The famers were in town last
