ISSUED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS THE STATESVILLE LANDMARK SHOWS WEBSTER'S WEEKLY UP IN BAD LIGHT The Landmark, aa its readers know, has not taken a rank hold la the Senatorial campaign,'. While it favors the candidacy of Gov. Kitchin, it l.- a newspaper and not an; organ and does not devote ail its space and tin-o tto testing the fortunes o fany Individual. While it is not in agree ment with Senator Simmons it has beu fair to him aiu- i.as gone out of its way to say a good word for Judj;e ; Clark when , he thought he was unjustly assailed. It went out Of its way within the past few months to say that it did not take seriously certaincharges made again, Senator Simmons, for which it re ceived a letter of thanks from the Senator. . The attitude of the paper is not a matter of policy, Lut prefer ence. The Landmark strenuously opposed Sonotof Simmons when he was a candidate for the Senate the first time and earnestly Bupporfced Gea Carr. It has never been a supporter of the Senator, for reasons entirely satisfactory to itself, but t has coininendoi him when we thought he deserved commendation and -expects to continue to do eo. While disagreeing with him entirely la h s first Lorimer vote, this paper gave him credit for honesty. It criticised his second Lorimer vote, because he seconde to run; away from his posi tion after a storm waa raised. The Landmark opposed Governor Kitchin when he was a candidate for Governor four years ago because it preferred Mr. Craig. Ia this con tent it prefers Gov. Kitchii to Sena tor Simmons. It has criticised the Governor and expects to do so again whenever it disagrees with him. Al so, as Is well known, this paper has been a strong opponent of Judge Clnrk. All this for the benefit of Web ster's Weekly and any others Inter ested.; Webster's Weekly, ; which ketps a file of its exchanges and or, occasional publishes past utter ance of its contemporaries which it thirks will confuse or confound! them, has recently published several extracts from The Landmark compli mentary to Senator Simmons and In criticism of Gov. Kitchin, which were calculated, if not intended, to give the impression that this paper had changed its attitude toward Senator Simmons. The Weekly is good1 enough to say The Landmark is fair paper. It tries to be. If a wanted to be unfair it could Bay with truth that it was in company with the Weekly in 19o0 in cham pioning Gen. Carr and fighting Sim mons. But that would not be fair, for the Weekly has changed editors since that time. Our contemporary will pardon us, however, for saying that it has not been exactly fair to The Landmark. While publishing the complimentary things this paper has said of Senator Simmons, ami which it has no desire to detract, it did tot publish the criticisms this pa per has made of the Senator's rec ord. If the Weekly will examine the file of The Landmark during the pe riod the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was under consideration, in 1909, it will find numerous criticisms of tho Sen ator's tariff votes, which Governor Kitchin has eince criticised. For in etance.The Landmark charged, when the Senator was advocatinjg a duty on cotton seed' oil, that he was standing for protection) pure and sim ple.' The Landmark has not changed its views about the Senator's atti tude on the tariff. Therefore it is n vm Package can be left at Mrs. J. N. Hester's residenc eu-pportdng Gov. Kitchin, with whose tariff view it is in agreement, und because it believes he is the equal any man in the State In character and ability. The readers of this paper who have kept track of its views know dts position. This statement is made for the benefit of any interested: who might be misted by misrepresen tations through failure to state all the tacts. States vdlle Landmark, REPUBLICANS FAVOR SIMMONSt After copydmg what Bryan said about Simmons, the Wilkes Patriot i Republican) saye: "We doubt if the above from William Jennings Bryan'si paper, th Commoner, can defeat Mr, Sini- '-monH tn North Carolina, It Is an undeuiable fact that there is a strong and rapidly growing eentimen ia this State for protection and th votes Mr. Simmons gave for pro tection against the majority of the Democrats of the Senate show that ti knows the sentiment of this State. It will be only a question of time, as our great manufacturing interests increase, when this State- will be strong for protection. ; Gov ernor Kitchin is making his fight against Senator Simmons upon his record favoring protection, ' and as fivht )a tn he settled ' by the Democrats alone, we cannot pre diet the result, but if all the :;, vo ters of the State could participate in the election, including the ue TiihiiPAiiu. the record of Senator Clrnmnn. fnf ttTOteCtiOQ WOUld l endorsed by a large majority.

Apply this to North Caro lina and think of the significance or hi a words; ( "Do not elect me captain unless enins to give me a team. F0r if I am captain and either of ituvo.

You will go back on me, you win m Knolr on. vour Governor, if you vote for me and do not give, me a team. Therefore, my bargain, my exortation to you today is, go to the noils and vote by this rule, either give him a team or vote for somebody else. Simmons is not in harmony with Wilson's; policies. Kitchin is. Give Wilson a Senator from North Caro lina who will work with him and who will not tie his hands and pre vent him from pulling through Pro gressive Democratic measures. Give Wilson his team, Mr. Demo crat. Don't give him a halker or a quitter. Give him KHohin, who is a Progressive of Progressives.

TKSteTBros,, h. geatsTKeldsvIIIeT SIMMONS' FRIENDS ADMIT DEFEAT BY BIDDING FOR REPUBLICAN ASSISTANCE The action ot the State Democratic Committee, controlled absolutely by the fi inds of Senator Simmons, on Oc tober the 24th, amouuts to a confession of certain defeat awaiting him it hands of Democrats, and the calling' out of the Simm n8 Reserves of Mugwumps and Republicans, in a last and desperate hope to turn the tide of battle. Even this shocking and outrageous maneuver can not turn defeat into victory, as the patriotic Democratic manhood of the State will refuse to have their wishes and votes overridden and nullified by such machine methods. While the new rule may bring to the Senator's aid some who are now fight ing Woodrow Wilson and other Demo cratic nominees, it will disgust thous ands of Democrats who have heretofore believed he was seeking his nomination at the hands of Democrats only, and they will turn upon him with riehteou9 indignation and administer with their ballots a crushing rebuke for this bold attempt to Republicanize the Demo cratic primary, at the expense of Wood row Wilson and other Democratic nom inees, down to township officers. Under the new rule, made by Senator Simmons' friends, a person may active ly oppose Woodrow Wilson and other Democratic nominees and still.by mere ly refraimiog from voting against Wood row VV Uaon or such nominees, vote in the primary and have a voice ia the selection of a Democratic Senator. If Seiiator Simmons and his friends who supported this rule, among whom are many of his most active and influential friends in the State, and notably Mr. A. D. Watts, believe that the Demociats of North Carolina are going to humbly submit to this kick by the bosses and to such an c-utrageouj sacrifice of the interests of Woodrow Wilson and other nominees of the party, in the interest of the machine politicians and Senator Simmwns, they will wake up to the fact, on November 5th, that brave eou?' ageous Democrats will not stand for such use of the party machinery, and such sacrifice of the interest of other Democratic nominees, for the purpose of saving Senator Simmons from de feat. ; Lorimer, upon whom Senator Sim mons conferred a Peerage, was elected by a corrupt coalition of Democrats and Republicans, but his election has been repudiated by the Seaate and the Na tion. And the Democrats of North Carolina will not stand for this last move on the part of the Simmon's ma chine to secure his nomination, by the help of Republtcans and Mugwumps. The Democrats are going to nominate their own Senator, and they are going to nominate a man who has always vot ed with his party in season, who has never catered to Republican favor, and who in this contest has defied the po litical machine, and puts his faith in people instead of in the bosses, W. W. Kitchin. It has been plain from the outset,and has been daily made clearer by the preaching of the Republican doctrine of protection by Senator Simmons and his manager, that they were looking for aid from the Republicans and Mug wumps, and that the bars would be thrown down for them to stop over. The Committee, controlled by friends of Senator Simmons, has now flung down a challenge to the Democrats of the State, in a spirit of "now help yourselves if you can." But the Dem ocrats can and: will help themselves, and the Senator's friends will wish they had not dared them to do it, for they will see the seed sown by them spring ing up all over North Carolina as drag ons' teeth, to destroy them ! On October 3d, Hon. Chas. A. Webb, State Chairman, recommended to the Managers for the Senatorial candidates a rule that was fair to all and which properly , protected the Democratic nominees. All three managers agreed in writing to this ruie, and when the Committee met, everybody assumed that the meeting was purely a formal one for the purpose of ratifying this agreement by the managers. Why did the friends of Senator Sim- mns, on the eve Of the primary, when they knew it would' be impossible to reach all the voters with a statement of the facts, exposing the responsibility for such action, defeat this resolution proposed by the State Chairman, and greed to by the managers of the Sena torial candidates, and adopt a renolu- ion which is an open invitation to those who are opposed to W7oodrow Wilson and other Democratic nominees to come into the Democratic household and have a voice in deciding our family differences? V It must have been because they were staring defeat in the face and knew Gov ernor Kitchin would certiinly be nomi nated unless they could defeat him with Republican votes. v I want the Democrat of North Caro lina to know that the rule adopted was upon a roll-call vote, supported by only t ue friend of Governor Kitchin, while was supported by twenty-nine friends rf Senator Simmons. And I want eery democratic township, county and State Cindidate to know that every time he is scratched at the polls on November 5th, he must hold Senator Simmons and his iiends alone responsible; and if Demo cratic candidates in close counties fear defeat, I want them to know that Gov ernor Kitchin and his friends on tae Committee did all they could to prevent tae sacrifice of their candidacy in the interest of Senator Simmons' candidacy. .' The issue is drawn clearly and square 17 ty the friends of Senator Simmons, tJ wit: Shall we nominate a Democratic S snator by Democratic votes, in a Dem. ooratic primary; or will the Democrats of North Carolina submit to the nomi fation of a Democratic Senator by a coalition of Democrats, Mugwumps, and Republicans, in a primary where the in brest of every other candidate, from President down, has been sacrificed to further the interests of Senator Sim mons' catdidasy? That is the challenge flung down to the Democrats by the friends of Sena tor Simmons. 100,000 brave, pa triotic Democrats, wearing no boss's col lar, will accept the challenge and go forth to battle and to victory on elec tion day for a pure primary and the nomination of a Progressive Democrat, W. W. Kitchin, who has never known defeat and who can not be defeated by any such machine and boss methods, or by any attempted fusion between Democrats and Republicrns. To your tents! oh! Democrats, to your tentsl and make ready for a Kitch in victory at the Battlt of Simmons F. R. McNINCH, State Manager for W. W. Kitchin. JAMES S. SHERMAN, VICE PRESIDENT, IS DEAD.! Utica, N. Y., Oct. 30. Vice-President James S. Shermaa died at his home here tonigjht. Members of his immediate family were all pre sent.. Not since early this morning when his attending physician made the final announcement of his inability tor ao more for relief thanhad'been done was there the least probability ' of saving the patient's life, or even of prolonging it for any considerable time. It had heen the doctor's hope up to 'that .time that he might bo stimulate the kidneys as to ""cause thorn t0 resume their functions, but when he was compelled to acknowl edge failure in this respet. he sur rendered, frankly acknowledging that the fight was lost. Since then ho do voted his efforts to keeping his pa tient quiet and preventing suffering. His constant fear was that tie uromi poison in his patient's system would cause convulsions which, would re sult in instant death. Dr. Peck was with his patient during the greater part of the day, but ddd little for him beyond hypo dermic injection of morphon e. Due both to tho presence of exces s've uremic acid and to the sedatives employed Mr. Sherman laid in a etate of coma throughout th.e greater part of the day. Dr. Peck attributed the crisis In the case entirely to the failure of the kidneys to operate. This condition resulted in filling the Bystom .with a virulent poison.whlch rapidly destroy ed the patient's vitality. The poison transformed the hitherto ruddy com plexion of the Vioo-PreBidenfs face to a dark purple. All day long the Sherman home and the local news paper offices were deluged with in quiries by. telegraph and telephone concerning the condition of the Vice-President. Mr. Sherman's rapid decline la health dated from August 21, when he was formally notified of his nom ination, a.Vice-President,accordirig to Dr. Peck. lie was warned that te exertion incident to the ceremonies might have an 111 effect, but insisted that .the program as arranged . bo carried out. "You may know all about medi cine," Mr. Sherman told his physi cian; when he urged hint to arrange for a brief and informal notification, "but you don't know about politics."

The prevailing sentiment in. the committee seemed to be that wita respect to scratching; all ar.i!ilau;s should be treated aldke to ui and the little should be plac- ca on the same . footing-that It 'would be unjust and unwise to force a man to vote the top of the ticket and allow him to scratch the bottom. The net result that it deduces from the OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE is that a man may scratch his ticket and it maikes no difference for what offiice the man be scratches is run ning. But the POINION of the com mittee (and mark you it professes to be nothing but an; opinion) must be construed in- connection! with the MANDATE OF THE STATE CON STITUTION. That MANDATE is taht before an elector can vote In the Senatorial primary he "SHALL have voted the DEMOCRATIC TICKET." Them Rule 6 empowers to State ex ecutive committee to pass rules and regulations , "NOT INCONSISTENT WLTH THE PROVISIONS HEREIN SET FUltTII." It follows as the night the day that, the committee Is wholly without power to abrogate the basic require ment that to vote In. the Senatorial primary one shall have voted the Democratic ticket. It is to be as sumed the committee infcendied its opinion to be considered in connec tion! with this fundamental . require ment.'.. i Therefore, eonfitrulinjg the OPIN (ION ofl. the committee and the MANDATE of the convention togeth er and giving due effect to both, my conclusion is that it is the plain duty of the primary pollholders to re quire a man before he votes in the Senatorial primary to vote the Democratic ticket generally from top to bottom, but allow him to scratch! such nominees as may be objection able to him. In a word, he must vote for DEMOCRACY, but . he may scratch Individuals.. He is, and should be allowed, to scratch PER SONS, but he is not and should not be allowed to scratch THE PARTY. A man; may scratch any number of individuals who may be objectionable to him and still in; good faith vote the Democratic ticket, but if he scratches the TICKET or refiuses to voter it BECAUSE IT IS A DEMO CRATIC TICKET, then In; mo eeuse cat) he be said to have voted ' the Democratic ticket ami under the law of Uie convention he can not participate in the primary. It ought to be easy for the poll holders to enforce this interpretation of the mandate of the convention; and the opinion of the committee. Each caa'Jrf'late will he represent ed by one pollholdtr, arid if it ap pears to them that a man has in good faith voted the Democratic ticket,although he may have scratch ed any number of names on that ticket that are objectionable to him, he should be allowed to vote in the primary.but If it appears that lite -.p-!
