(By Jeese Daniel Boone) The candidates are busy now With shaking hands, with smile and bow, But soon the June sun will have set And some will seek to well forget That they were, ever in the race; That they had offered for a place In politics where" few can win . A scramble in the mires of sin. : A few will win, of course they will; . But even those who take the pill Of hitter taste, we call defeat, May later dwell on Easy street, While some who' win will have regrets For buying votes and paying beta Or, paying notes they have endorsed Until they - find themselves unhorsed. Sometimes they try to fly too high. Like airplanes sailing in the sky; They put on airs and spend too much, They drink fine liquors, tr.i s'.i svch; Until they sink beneath the mire And then,' despairing, they expire; While those who ought to sympathize Do not appear to hear their cries. The man who holds a public trust Should first be firm and then be just. He ought to have a sense of right To guide bis actions day and night; He should not step aside nor swerve, But show his common sense and nerve; To duty he should fast be wed, So men will praise him when he's dead. So if you miss your chance, my lad, , Don't think that you are in so bad, For many things might be far worse, ' As illness, death and then the hearse. As long as you have health and life, A home and children, and a wife, You have a chance, there is good hope, So wash your campaign stains with soap. Thank God you're living and you're free, For office slaving don't agree With any out-door loving man, Who likes to visit friends and clan; Who would not be the public's slave, Who would not court an early grave. The qian who's beat may happy be If he loves-home and Liberty. When we begin to count up cost It's hard to say which one has lost, For office-holding is noeinch And often gets one in a pinch. It's fine to be your own good boss And have no deficit, or loss. Because of friends who pull you down And. would stand by and see you drown.

RECRUITS ARE NEEDED NOW FOR THE NAVY Since the beginning of the drive for 600 recruits from North Caro lina, the navy recruiting station at Raleigh has sent away over 100 men. Ensign Skelton, in charge, is anxious to secure the remaining 400 as early as possible. Now is the best chance for enlist ing. The selective service is being extended to cover all men who have just reached 21,. and after June 5 it is going to be hard to obtain a per mit from the local boards to enlist. Ensign Skelton says: "The young man who desires to en ter the service of his country volun tarily must act quickly. The navy offers to the young man now facing registration an excellent opportunity and a good chance for promotion. The navy today has need of men from almost every calling electricians, stenographers, teachers, mechanics and there is an opening in almost ev ery trade. "The navy is playing a most im portant role in the present war. Our huge army of millions will be useless if the navy fail in its duty fails to ikeep the seas clear for the transpor tation of men and materials across the Atlantic If our navy meets de Ifeat then American Independence will 'be no more. The American navy j must stand between American homes jand German despotism. "This is a day when' every man should serve his country. If he fails to volunteer, he must be drafted. No young man, without dependents, has a shadow of an excuse for not be ing in the service of his country. None but cowards will fall back when a man's work is to be done. The day ia coming when a young man with' out dependepta and in civilian clothes will be a community disgrace. "Fight because you want to not because you have to. Dont wait for the draft.- 'There ia still a chance to get a release from your local board take it. Save your aeif-respect. See any recruiting officer. The main of fice for North Carolina is. at Raleigh, Commercial Bank building, with O. B, Coward, of Jackson, Make Pledge to Candidate Cox and Dem ocrats of District Regarding the Race for Senate To the Democratic Voters of the 37th Senatorial District! ; - In 1906, in the Senatorial Conven tion duly assembled at Sylva, a reso lution was unanimously adopted pro viding that in the future the coun. ties of this Senatorial district should take it turn about in nominating the Democratic candidate for the Senate. That is, that in the year that one of said counties had the right,' Jn pur suance of said resolution, to name the candidate, ; he should . be nominated by the votes of the Democrats of that county only, the other counties not running any candidate at all, but acquiescing in the choice of that county whose turn it was to name the candidate. ; This resolution was passed after it had been fully discussed through out the district and in the convention which passed it. Its purpose was that the smaller counties in the district might be able, in their turn, to nom inate the candidate, and from that time on the letter and spirit of this resolution has been lived up to by the several counties of the district, every two years a different county naming the candidate. The spirit of the resolution was rec ognized by an act of the Legislature of 1911, Chapter 192, such an act be Hng necessary to legalize that method of nominating the candidate by rea son of the Haywood county primary law. The state-wide primary law en acted in 1915 again recognized the right of the Democratic voters of this district to pursue this method of nominating the candidate, by virtue of a proviso of Section 61 of said act. Relying upon the idea that this custom which has prevailed for the last 12 years would continue f be came a candidate for the nomination for Senator, believing that the choice would be made by the Democrats of Jackson county, this being her time to name the candidate by reason of the said resolution. Now, on the eve of the primary, without notice to me or my friends, my opponent, Mr. T. A. Cox, also of Jackson county, or some of his friends for him, has procured the chairman of the State Board of Elections to make a ruling directing that the can didates for the Senate shall be voted for on June 1, in all the coun ties composing this district. I have every assurance and every reason to believe that I will be the choice Of the Democratic voters of Jackson county, and in the absence of any resolution or action of the Democratic pasty of this district re pudiating or abolishing the resolu tion of 12 years ago, which has been regularly acted upon since its adop tion, 'and believing that the spirit of that resolution should not be treat ed as a "mere scrap of paper," I make this solemn pledge to my op ponent and the Democrats' of this district If I do not receive a majority of the votes of the Democrats of Jackscn county on June 1st for the office of Senator, I will decline to accept tVc nomination, and will recommed Cat my opponent be declared t: c nomi nee of the Democratic party for Sen ator. The fact that r-7 opponent has pro cured the above ruling of the chair man of the State Board of Elections, or that he has permitted it to he done, in violation of the spirit of ouv resolution, is an admission that he can not obtain a majority of thp Democratic votes of Jackson county, where we both live. I, therefore, ap peal to all voter who believe in fair play, and who believe in living up to our agreement that has prevailed for the past 12 years, to see to it that its support shall continue to prevail in this district Respectfully, (Adv.)

BRYSON LOGICAL CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE As the campaign for the judge ship of the 20th Judicial district draws to a close the reasons why Hon. T. D. Bryson, of Swain county, is the logical candidate become more apparent. Mr. Bryson is now just at the age when he can render his State the most valuable service. His ability as a lawyer is above question and his training during the past 20 years fits him in every respect for this import ant office. He has served his district eight years as Solicitor and since his term expired he haa been actively engaged in the practice of both criminal and civil law. As- a' trial lawyer he is without a peer ia the 20th district and as a student of the law he stands in the front rank. Mr. Bryson ia well known to the people of his district and has won their confidence and esteem by the manner in which he has conducted his campaign, which throughout' has been entirely free from any suspic ion of improper or corrupt methods. The voters of the 20th district will be doing their State a real service by placing a man of Mr. Bryson's at tainments upon the Judicial bench. (Adv.) SENTELLE WITHDRAWS Mr. Editor: I desire to say through the columns of your paper, that after mature consideration I have decided to withdraw my candi dacy for County Treasurer. I do so not in the interests of any of the' other candidates. I do so because I am more interested in winning this war than obtaining an office. I am still a Democrat and will support the nominee whoever he may be. I also want to thank my loyal friends for the support that they have always given me and promise them that I will always try to act the part of a gen tleman. If we get the Australian ballot tem, I may seek a nominrt-on -.i tl.c-. future; otherwise I ttTi 3"4iy out of politics. Respectfully, JOHN E. SEXTELLS.
