Democrats in (iaston see in the advance Inn ins that aie being made for the Char lotto, Shelby and Hickory men somewhat of a conspiracy wherein any local aspirant for congressional honors is to be peremp torily froen out of the race. Not a gtent deal is being said at this time by them but a few are doing considerable thinking. That Shelby or Charlotte or Hickory hold any lease for life on fat political .jobs in the Ninth District is laughed at by lots of hard working Democrats. They admit that in the past Cleveland county has managed to grab everything in sight, or most anything they asked for, but it was not obtained over the protest of (ias ton folks, who have always kept in the background. Cleveland county men won not over Gaston men but by the help of them. Ami (iaston is not holding this against the good Cleveland folks to any great extent. Politics, they argue, is their business. In the past (iaston has wrought mightily for every man who wane a Cleveland county badge in the lace foi political honors. In the ''turn about is fair play-' motto they would hardly an ticipate much objection fic.m across the ( iaston I 'leveland line. While there is plenty of time ;o get in- to the race for c Webb be appoinb al .judge, vv!i:. j. v mgrt'ss should Yates I ami cnntirmcl Coder o ,'. be .lone, local poll riiiiniis are current Jhat ticiaus think. (iaston countv to have one of its own in the running for congress. It may be Major A. Lee Hulwinklc, late of the lL'.th Field Artillery, a mighty good man who has as good a record from tiie army as any, and who would have made a better Lieut. -Conloiiel even that he did as Major. While he does not tell the story it is known by a few that but for the th kle ness of war he would have come back from France with a silver leaf on his shoulder instead of the gold one. Others suggested are George W. Wilson, whom the Meek lenbtirgers 1 i I their best but were unable to defeat for ,.licitor at the last election ami John G. Carpenter, who has represent ed this county in the State Senate. Mr. Wilson, be it known, is just as good a Methodist as Clyde Hoey those who take him for a Presbyterian elder at times certainly wouldn't work against him. Everybody knows .lohn Carpenter. He is as well known in the Ninth District as in Gaston, Mecklenburg, Lincoln and Cleve land counties where he has done plenty of hard work for the party. Aside from the three local lawyers mentioned one hears undercurrent rumor? that a prominent Gastonia mill man might be persuaded to give up his affairs for a time and not only make the race but win with hauls down. He is well and favorably known in the district, has done much for Grfstouia and (iaston county and if he wants a seat in Congress could get it. It is said, that if his an nouncement is made no other Gaston man would ask for the honor ami in all prob ability several of the Mecklenburg candi dates would withdraw. His name is to be put in print at another time. Either of these men. tpiite a number think, would make the race interesting for those who run. None have announced themselves: they may never do so. but rumors are rife that they are hearing the congressional bee a -buzin' nevertheless. And in a race of the kind that the Ninth District has to offer within a short time it is believed that a Gaston county man's chances would be mighty good because of tin- great number of runners. Regardless r.f whether a (iaston man throws his hat in the ring or not. (iaston voters plenty of them don't like the idea of lteing ignored year in and year out because there are lots of good Democrats in these parts. Gastonia Chapter No. fifi, R. A.
