A short time before the civil war

MH. JEXK1XS OUT?
Kuiuor Has It That Gastonia Banker
is an Aspirant for ItepubUcan
Nomination for Congress in This
DistrictMay be Mr. Webb's Op
ponent in Coming Contest,
Will Mr. L. L. Jenkins be a candl- ,
date for the nomination for Congress
before the Republican congressional
convention which meets at Shelby
the last of May? The Charlotte
Chronicle has heard it rumored that
such will be the case and gave pub- J
liclty to the rumor in its issue of j
last Friday. The Gazette Is not able
to give any further details or to con-1
firm the rumor as Mr. Jenkins has
been out of town for several days.
He is expected to return to Gastonia
today.
The Chronicle says:
"There is another aspirant In the
field for Congressman Webb's seat,
if well-authenticated reports be true.
"The congressional race in the
Ninth district, represented by Hon.
E. Yates Webb, of Shelby, has al
ready assumed proportions that make
it one of the moBt Important and
crucial in the State, but with the
latest development reported, the
fight now promises to grow Into
something real sensational.
"Mr. L. L. Jenldns, of Gastonia, a
prominent banker, and Interested in
cotton manufacturing, and for many
years a staunch Republican, will be
a candidate to be reckoned with
when the Republicans come to
choose a man to oppose Mr. Webb,
so it Is reported today. Mr. Jenkins,
while in the city recently. Is report
ed to have said to his friends that he
was going Into the race and was go
ing to fight too.
"This certainly gives another
complexion to affairs, and will Im
mediately raise the question 'Mc
Ninch or Jenkins which?'
"For the past month the entire
district has been busy speculating on
the probable decision of Charlotte s
ex-mayor on the question of making
the congressional race on the Re
publican ticket for Congress, and
many of his friends have asserted
that he would have a strong follow
ing and a fine chance of election.
"ThiB of course held good so long
as the Republican lists were open to
one man alone, but with the entry of
another strong and able candidate
into the race, and that too Just when
some of the old-liners in the Repub
lican party were calling for a life
long Republican, who is furnished in
the person of 'Mr. Jenkins, the situ
ation immediately assumes a differ
ent hue, and therefore something
sensational Ib promised without
doubt If Mr. Jenkins verifies reports
and announces himself as a strict
candidate on the G. O. P. ticket for
Congress from the Ninth congres
sional district.
"There have been rumblings
heard from the full-fledged Republi
can counties since the announcement
that Mr. S. 8. McNinch would run,
to the effect that they wanted a man
who would straddle the Republican
platform to the last -splinter thereof,
or a man who had ridden the Repub
lican elephant ever since he UrBt saw
the light, and there was some little
political uneasiness in this section
among the Republican leaders lest
they should makan error in getting
a man who not always held on to the
Republican doctrine from start to
finish. Of course Mr. McNincn was
highly acceptable to Mecklenburg
Remubllcans. and what la said ' is
based on rumors and nothing more.
than were heard from time to time,
as to his candidacy, and jet no other
names were suggested pr mentioned
to such an extent, that they merited
any special attention. Mr. McNinch
haa an far hMn the man of the hour
una mfwm -
for the race; it is only the latest re
port that Mr. L. L. Jenkins is going
to make the race that tends to stir
up and unsettle things, and there is
no doubt whatever that his making
the race, if he finally announces him
self formally, will have Immense in
fluence on the situation.
"Of course this is all from a Re
publican standpoint of view. Mr.
Webb, so far as anybody knows, will
have a clean sweep of the field, and
will get the undivided Democrat
support, no opposition to him being
looked for In the Democratic hosts.
"The Interest now centers about
Republican headquarters and with
the near approach of the time when
all these matters will have to be set
tled there Is a feeling of tenseness
about Republican headquarters that
can be easily experienced by anyone .
visiting that locality.
"In the meantime, the unconquer-
ed and unconquerable, and 'doughty
county chairman, Mr Jake P. New
ell, rests on his oars, and with one
ear to the ground, listens to the
numerous voices that suggest this
and that, and assimilates what he
considers worth while, and lets the
rest go by.
"Friends of Mr. Jenkins think
that he will set rumors at rest In
side a few days by making a definite
statement one way or the other as to
his intention's."
Laiw Interest in Meeting.
Sunday was a great day In the
revival at the First Baptist church,'
the auditorium being crowded to its
capacity at both morning and night
services. Rev. Dr. Vines preached
two splendid sermons and there
were a number of conversions. At
night his subject was "The Return
of the Prodigal Son." Though a
subject used In revivals perhaps of-
tener than any other one theme it is
one full of human Interest and Dr.
Vines' treatment of it was both In
teresting and helpful. At last
night's service Dr. Vines preached to
a crowded house on "Multitudes In
the Valley of Decision." So ifar there
have been afoout 45 conversions and
23 additions to the church. It is
probable that the meeting will close
tomorrow night though this is not
certain and definite announcement
iwill be made later. There will be
services tonight and tomorrow night
at 7:30 o'clock as usual.
