Martin.) TSoi01-rT, "nt n tw i7AT,n,it the fastest and most discussed political development here is what is believed I to be a strons: indication that the mi.amt,i t,a T,nmina. Hon m 1912 is being drawn into the cenatonal fight in so far as the ccn- test between Senator Simmons and J Governor Kitchin is concerned, and that there may yet be a third caudi- date for governor in the field one to represent the Kitchin element or tne j party. Ever since the Charlotte con- vention in which Kitchin won tne nomination lor Governor-over "Locke Craig, there have been many who m- sist that the 1912 nomination for Governor i& the due of Mr. Craig and that there is really a party od lieation growing out of the contest lo give him the next nomination. ! or e e eral months W. C. Newland. -presi- dent of the Senate and Lieutenant Governor, has been an avowed candi date for Governor. Neither of them have special, political alliance with Governor Kitchin and Mr. Cral and Srrator Simmons have been cSos-jly allied.

Friends of Mr. Craie are in-I sisting that Mr. Craig will steer clear with all documents, affidavits and tes of the senatorial fieht entirely and timony in his possession relating to that the alarms on the part of the friends of Governor Kitchin are groundless. Whether this insistance can Ifw-n off the nrecinitation of a mix-up of the senatorial and tne T I gubernatorial contests as indicated remains to be seen. Also there is a possibility - that the part that ex- fiftTPTiinr Avrnplr and Ghief Justice Walter Clary play as the other candi- investigation.

The aura de velopment is a strong ray of light sur rounding the entire form of the sub ject.

Suddenly tho at tending physician announced that the man was dead. The aura began to spread from the body and presently disappeared. Further observation of the corpse revealed no sign of the aura. "We do not claim that the light is the soul, or spirit. In fact, no one seems to know what it is. In my opinion, however, it is some sort of radio-activity made visible by the use of the chemical screen. My experi ments, however, seem to prove that it is the animating power, or current of life of human, beings." 60 OFFICERS INVOLVED.
