Mecklenburg county is out after the scalp of any candidate tor Congress to succeed E. Yates Webb.

This getting togetlcr of the ian I: da'e- points the wav to future successes and an esta I d is' I harmony, vvhnh be yens has been the Kutupi.iii .beam of all democrats who have seen, wiii, regret, the oft repeated and disunited elTrnts of tie county to elect her man. The statenici,; signed by the three men is as follow-: While it m:i seem premature to make anv statement at this tune, in view of the fact Mat 011 g ms-ma 11 Webb has not been appointe-d .iudge, aiol there is at present 110 vacancy in the ufticc, yet we, who are contemplating entering the race for the ollice in the event of a vacancy feel that as the question is being so 11111 versallv discussed it would be very un wise for Mee klenburg to enter the on the fight without centering her forces on one man. "For this reason we agree with one another that we will abide by the result of ,1 preliminary primary of the demo cratic voters of Mecklenburg county, the primary to be held under rules and regu lations as provided by law anel prescribed by the county democratic executive com mittee, to the end that Mecklenburg county will go into the district primary with only one candi.late. "We are willing to go into a similar agreement with any other prospective candidate from Mecklenburg county. "This the 9th day of August, 1919. " (Signed) "CHAS. BLAND. "J. A. McRAE. "V. C. DOWD."
