MONDAY APRIL 15, 1912. qpNVENTION AND PRIM ARIES. State Convention, June 6. Precinct Primaries, May 18. County Conventions, May 35. 0 The Republican and Demo cratic national conventions are each to have 1,074 delegates. A Republican candidate is nominat ed by a majority of the delegates, therefore the (nominee will need only 538 votes. The Democratic national convention nominates a President' by a two-thirds vote, therefore the winner in the Bal timore convention next June must secure 716 votes. , o SWIFT COMING CHANGE In American politics, a thing never gets better till it gets worse. And the best evidence of reform in a dozen years came out of the boss-ridden state of Pennslyvania last Saturday this home of the steel and many oth er trusts. Doss Penrose, who pledged the entire vote of the state to Taft has been snowed completely under by the greatest popular vote of indignation con- . torial ninth instant reference to me utterly and absolutely without foundation I both supported and voted for bill abolish phosphorus matches, have made neither speech nor statement with reference to women's interference coun try's affairs F. M. Simmons. The editorial of the Enterprise was based on information from one of our fellow citizens, who we are confident, thought it re liable. It is far from the Enter prise as it would be from him, to knowingly misrepresent, anyone, especialy one of our Senators, and we gladly make the correc tion and regret its occurence. As it has already been uggest ed in the public prints, Senator Simmon's name has been con founded perhaps with that of an other senator who did make a similar remark on which the edi torial was based. Under the cir- mmstances we feel that it is due him as well as the paper to give the correction as wide circulation as possible. ; 0 . . . HIGH POINT IN 1912. (Written by Thelma Wineskie. (th tirade. Main St. School. "High Point" is one of the most thrifty manufacturing cities in the south. It has a population of from 10.000 to 11.000. It is located on the main line of the Southern railway, in the county of ("luilford. and surrounded by the nio?.t fertile fanning land in the Piedmont section. High Point has long U'imi Known as tue Urand KapiUs 01 the South." owing to its being the second largest furniture manu facturing city in the United States. :': ":: High Point however -'does not confine itself exclusively to man ufacturing of furniture, as amongst its eighty factories there are several others such as: Knit-, .IHJoperly ring mills, sirk mills, glass flc- .urui aim inrics. car worKs. macinne works.' demning in unmistakable tenns bossism. There are 750,000 Re publican voters in Pennsylvania and Penrose had pledged it. "lock, stock and barrel" to Taft. when the Roosevelt victory came and this immense voting strength failed to ratify but condemned ,the action of Mr. Penrose. In American politics the people are everywhere asking, what right has any one to pledge another NEW GOOB& New Shapes in Hats Arriving Daily A most attractive line of MiHi nery. Call and see "them. MISS VENETIA SMITH man's vote? He may pledge his own vote but certain it is he has no right to pledge any other man's. This is the great bver- anatized-"means against which .there is a world wide revolt. American politics has today reached the acute stage, where the great fight is being waged between human rights on the one side, and special privileges and bossism on t!ieother. If we do not mistake the times, the intelli gence of the aroused voter, will level to its proper sphere the very citadel of trust privileges expose the alliance of crooked ' "big" business and crooked poli ticians, and restore to the American people the honest, the civic spirit which was at one time the rich heritage of the forefath ers. This is the great central is sue in the nation today the swift coming change in the national thought is at hand, and we may well mark the change. AJCORRECTION On April 9th the following editorial appeared in the F.nter prise: The deadly white phos porous match which has been an object t be legislated against by the medical pro fession throughout the coun try for the past dozen years, has finally been put out of commission, and through an act of Congress will no long er be manufactured, though Mr. Simmons defended it to the very last in the interest of the Diamond Match Co. The women of the country enlisted in , the fitflit in the petition' to Congress to stop the manufacture of the dead ly match, and if the refer ence which is attributed to Senator Simmons in regard to this petition be true, few people will envy his notoriety or agree with his judgment. He is quoted as saying that the interference of women in the country's affairs would ruin the country. Saturady the Enterprise re ceived the following telegram from Senator Simmons: Mr. J. J. Farriss, Editor Daily Enterprise, High Point, N. C. Statement Enterprise di em. Strangers coming in trow the northern cities often remark on it- wide and well paved streets.
