WRITES CONGRESSMAN
Impressed By .Turbulent

Baltimore, August 22 Impressed by
"the turbulent mass of people, galleries
and -spectator," t he recent Demo
qratic' National Convention o BaitK
more, Mayor Jame H. Preston of this
clty,who'va8 a candidate-for. Vice-Pres-
ideBt before the jOOBveatkni,' has writ Jen
to Congressman . Linthicum suggesting
that he? introduce a bill . makign pro.
vision or a nation-wide primary for
the nomination of candidates for Presi
dent and Vice-President, of the United
States.1 He'aUo suggests that several
platforms be prepared - and submitted
the voters at the primary,' "sot hat the
people may make their . choice of the
issues," His letter is in part as follows:
'It has occurred to me .frequently
since the National Convention in Balti
more'' adjourned -that there should -be
some clearer , more definite, less cum
bersome and less -clamorous way -of
nominating a President of the United
States than that which we have quite
recently witnessed in Baltimore.
3--''Miirht It not be possible to have a
nation-wide primary by "the .direct vote
of the people naming the candidates
of the great parties for the Presidency.'
''It -occurs to tne that som bill
might 'be Introduced "in Congress -by
you along - these, line - .Something of
this kind must ' come eventually, ', be
cause ,the turb'ulent mass- jof , people,
galleries and spectators, as was seen In
Baltimore, I believe, is not the wise way
fora great-country to be governed."
Replying to - the Mayor ' Mr.
Linthicum sent a copy of .Congress
man Hobson's resolution .-introduced
December i, 1911, proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution designed t-
elimlnate the present system, of Presto
dential elections and ' substituting'. In
its stead a. majority of the popular votfeF
of the entire country..'
Mr. Linthicum goes On. to say that
between -the adjournment, of Congress
and the convening of the - session in
December he will formulate a measure
for the consideration of the House that
will" provide a more efficient remedy, for
present conditions , than - that con
tained in Congressman Hobson's, reso
lution.".' . a - . i,- v--i ' -

and Wednesday evening went to James
City with a musical .organization of
which he' was ' a" member. , He, . with
others, played at onef the, "occasions"
the colored people delight in. After
thr-aflfair, Green procured a bottle of
the whiskey' that ' made James City
famous ana . proceeded ' to revive
his drooping spirits. . After' taking sev

ill, ' He' grew steadily worse, Ha spite
of everything that COuH be done for
fqr-hinii and died yesterday' morning,
" While all the whiskey sbfd In James

was a fiery concoction, with Wood alco

tory is merely a dangerous chemical
combination ' that never sawa distil

alcohol is substituted for that made
from grain. ' v - ;
"It is .a very difficult matter to secure
evidence of sale or to' - get samples of
the terrible stuff sold from .the tumble

dozenmore colored men and . women
who are dispensing beer and so-called

This substitute for spirits frumeati
that comes from James City has caused
the police of Craven county and the citi
