Not a County Office
There is nobody outside of
Elizabeth City in all the Albe
marle for whom The Advance
entertains a friendlier regard
than for J. H. McMullan of Ed
enton. Personally we know hir.i
better by far and from a stand
point of personal friendship
would vote for him rather than;
for T. W. Costen of Gates Coun-j
ty.
But The Advance weighs oth
er considerations than that of
personal friendship in deciding
what candidates it will or will
not support and holds itself in [
effect committed to the candi
dacy of T. W. Costen. It is not
bound in this matter by any for
mal pledge but when Mr. Costen I
announced that he would stand
for re-election The Advance I
ventured the hope that he would |
be given the nomination with-i
out opposition.
Subsequent to that, had The
Advance found that Mr. Costen,
on such a matter as the bridge
across the lower Chowan river,
had suffered himself to be made
the partisan of par row section
al interests, we would have felt
that this newspaper could just
ly withdraw its support from
him. We did not feel, however,
that we would be giving him a
square deal to withdraw that
support before giving him an
opportunity to express himself
on this issue and had just writ
ten him for a statement of his
position when we received the
lengthy communication setting
that position forth and pub
lished as advertising in Thurs
day's issue of this newspaper.
In this communication it ap
pears that Mr. Costen not only
pledges himself against opposi
tion to the bridge but goes so
far as to say that he is heartily
in favor of it and, if re-elected
to the Senate, will do all that he
can for the project. Indeed Mr.
Costen's attitude toward his of
fice, as expressed in his com
munication, is so much in line
with the ideals of this newspa
per that we would be strongly
inclined to support him were he
now offering himself for his
first twm. Inasmuch as he is

offering himself for re-election'
following one term in which he
served the voters acceptably, we
do not see how this newspaper,
after deploring that fact that
our representatives in Senate
and House had heretofore as a1
rule served but one term in th?!
General Assembly and there
fore had never gained the pres
tige and prominence in that
body as have those who havo!
represented their county or dis
trict for years, and after ex
pressing the hope that 110 other
candidates would offer them
selves this year for the Senate
in this district, can do other
than support him. In fact, wj
can hardly see how the district
can in justice to him do less
than re-elect him. It is a mat-'
ter of general party policy, wo I
believe, to elect to a second term!
any official who proves himself
faithful and capable in office for.
his first term and then offers
himself as a candidate for re
election.
The district, we take it, does1
not wish to say that Mr. Costcn,]
in the last session of the Gener
al Assembly, failed to measure;
up to the duties and responsibil-:
ities of his office.
In all friendliness to Mr. Mc
Mullan, then, The Advance can I
inot escape the conclusion that it
!would have been well for him to]
give Mr. Costen a chance to ex
press his position on the Cho-I
wan bridge before entering the
lists as a candidate himself. Mi.l
McMullan has, of course, every
right to run for the Senate if he
wants to, but Chowan County,
can't, elect a Senator for this
district all by itself.
