To Decide Upon: , The statement made in the New Bern Sun of Monday evening, January 5th, that the voters of Craven county , favor a county primary to determine the County's candidate for Congresi is without, authority of the voters for whom the Sun . assumes to speak; -and the further statement with refeW ence ' to , the views of representative leading men that such is the sentiment, - evidently originated in the minds of political supporters, of Judge- Juion, or had its origin in the political scheme intended by his supporters to create a false impression in the minds of some people'7 that he .and his supporters favor a district primary. If this be true, why does not Judge Guion at once agree to a District Primary for a District nomination, which primary has been requested by three of the candidates now in the field, Hon. Charles R. Thomas, Hon. George E. Hood and Hon. E. M. Koonce. " As to the demand for a district primary, there is no do'ubt that such sentiment exists. We have had a prim ary twice, for United States Senator; a primary is established in the Sixth Congressional District; the amended plan of organization allows the Demo cratic Congressional Executive Com mittee of the District to order a prim ary for the district; and the whole policy of the Democratic party, in cluding the announced policy of Presi dent Woodrow Wilson is for primaries. The position of Hon. Charles R, Thomas upon this question is well known" and was announced by him in his J formal announcement as i Congressional candidate. He is strong ly in favor of(a primary for all candi j dates, State, District and County,. Interviewed by the' Journal with regard to the article in the Sun, of Jan uary- 5th, i Mr .1 nomas s id: l, am, artd have been,- heartily in favor; pf .- primaries, and I have asked the Demo cratic Executive Committee of. the .Third Congressional District, for district primary to decide the contest between'(the Congressional candidates. If Judge ' Guion desires a primary m the Third Congressional District, -' he has onlv t8 say so in express terms, and to unite with Hon. G.E.Hood, Hon. . E. M. Koonce and myself in this re- quest, and without doubt, a majority -of the ' candidates asking : therefor .' the District Committee- will ordeT iv a ' District .Primary, ', : . - . 7 "In regard to the proposition-that :,- . County -Prfanary -be held and that juuge ouion anu uiysen pieuge our " selves to abide by the result of An elec- ' tion in Craven county,- thereby elim . inating one or the other of us from the Congressional contest, such a propo- v sition is unhesitatingly; declined: First " the nomination for-Congress is a Dis ' trict 'nomination' and not a County ' nomination we are not funning for the -. Legislation and county office; second, . the nomination for Congress is one upon , which all the Democrats of all i the nine counties of the Third Congres . sipnal District have the right to pass; it would be not only contrary to all party law and precedent, but it would . be unfair'-' to the Democrat.lp voters -of the other Counties of the Third Con- gressional District who have the same right to say who shall be either candid date as the Democratic voters of Crav en; third, it would be an injustice to my other friends and supporters in Craven s county, who desire that I should submit my claim for the Demo cratic nomination for Congress, not nly to Craven county, but to the en tire Di.'itrict.-in which I s "i well known by twelve years i " service and by many ca""r of t' Of1 ""i. ' I Jut' " Ciron afraid i 'utrict?

"IF JUDGE GUION SINCERELY DESIRES TO SUBMIT HIS CLAIMS FOR THE NOMINATION TO A PRIMARY. LEI HIM AGREE TO SUBMIT IT TO A DISTRICT PRIMARY- AND UNITE WITH THE OT.HER . CANDIDATES, HOOD, KOONCE AND MYSELF IN SUCH REQUEST, AN I SO FAR AS I AM PERSONALLY CONCERNED, THE PROPOSITION WILL BE ACCEPT ED WITHOUT HESITATION AND AT ONCE." .'vMr. Thomas Turther jstated: "I have read the editorial in the Sun advocating 'that a County primary settle who ' shall be Craven County's candidate for Congress. I repeat that . this nominaion is a District nomination and not a county nomina tion, and the Sun knows that. I was first to' announce I was in favor of letting the people decide the Democratic nominee for Congress by a district primary. 1 knew at tne time ttiat Mr. Hood, of Wayne county was in favor of a district primary and Mr. Koonce, of Onslow county, has since stated that he favors the same. The Sun states that Judge Guion favors a primary, leav ing the impression that he favors a district primary. I HOPE THIS IS TRUE. LET THE JUDGE PRO POSE A "DISTRICT PRIMARY UM DER HIS OWN SIGNATURE AND IT WILL BE ACCEPTED IW ME. "I further desire to state that since thij contest bcyan'I. have made no statements t,o the bun or the Sun s reporters. The Sun was 50 manifestly unfriendly-and was so clearly in favor of Judge Guion, who is an uncle of the editor and owner of the Sun, thit would expect it to misquote me, as I have "been. I have never made any expression of any kind to the Sun in regard to a division of the County vote. ' CONTRARY TO -THE EX PECTATION OF JUDGE GUION'S FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS, I HAVE GONE QUIETLY ALONG THE EVEN TENOR OF MY WAY WITHOUT FEAR,; AND UNTERRI- FIED BY THREATS OR SUGGES TIONS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING A COUNTY PRIMARY, OR SUG GESTIONS THAT I WITHDRAW, ALL OF WHICH I KNEW -.WERE MERE ' POLITICAL ' SCHEMES. Whatever I have-to sav, and Vhich can be relied . upon by my friends, will be said through the columns of the: Journal and other friendly papers. 'I NOW AGAIN DECLARE THAT I AM-HEARTILY IN FAVOR OF A DISTRICT PRIMARY, AND ASK JUDGE GUION TO JOIN WITH ME IN MAKING THE REQUEST FOR A DISTRICT PRIMARY FOR THE DISTRICT; NOMINATION OF CONGRESSMAN TO THE CON GRESSIONAL. EXECUTIVE" COM MITTEE. MY FRIENDS AND SUP PORTERS. BELIEVE THAT I AM STRONG -ENOUGH . IN ' SUCH PRIMARY OR A CONVENTION. TO CARRY BOTH CRAVEN COUN TY AND THE DISTRICT; THAT IS FOR THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE IN SUCH PRIMARY OR, CON VENTION. - - " I -DESIRE FURTHER TO STATE, WHILE BEING INTER VIEWED, TO SET AT REST CER TAIN . SUGGESTIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE, COMING FROM THE . SUPPORTERS OF JUDGE GUION, THAT I AM IN THIS CONTEST FOR THE NOM INATION FOR CONGRESS UNTIL THE PEOPLE DECIDE THE MAT TER, EITHER BY DISTRICT PRIMARY OR BY THE DISTRICT CONVENTION; FOR OR AGAINST ME."

Daniels Losing No Time In Cleaning The Docket. The most interesting case taken up at the term of Craven county Superior Court which is now in session, was that in which Robert Jones, the young white man frrtm Pamlico county who was charged with having com mitted a criminal assault upon one Mrs. W. C. Hohbs whose home is on South Front street. This case was taken up yesterday morning. Circumstances which arose after Jones' incarceration in the county jail a few days before Christmas, lead the court to change the charge from one of criminal assault to one of simple assault. This was compro mised without going to a jury and the defendant Jones was sentenced to serve six months in the Craven county jail. There was also another charge ag linst Jones, that of the larceny of a turkey from B. B. Davenport's coop on the night before Thanksgiving Day. This charge was changed to one of forcible trespass and prayer for judgment was continued. Judge Daniels, of Goldsboro, wiio is presiding over the present cout of term, is conducting the term in his usual capable manner -and is p::vinj entire satisfaction to all. Jude Daniels is thorough enough in his work, yet speed', andvis losing no time in c.V.iring tin; doc ket. the following esses consiitjued he doc'a-t for the remainder of the day: Guy Brooks was found guilty of lar reny and sentenced to the penitentiary for one year. Ben Wallace, John Wallace and Warren ll.-idges were found guilty of larceny. Sentence in these cases has not been passed. James Williams was found guilty of gambling but judgment was suspended upon the payment of the costs of the case. MEM MUSICAL Delighted Vanother -packed house last night at the Athens.

Among the other matters brought before the Hoard was a petition presented by (). H. Guion, appiaring in behalf of the police force, asking that the salary of each Policeman be increased from sixty to seventy dollars a month. Mr. Guion explained that the cost of living was rapidly increas ing and that the policemen needed the increase in order to enable them to meet this increased cost. Alderman Dill was in favor of granting the increase and Alderman McCarthy move that it be given them. Alderman Disosway seconded this, but Alderman Blades thought that the mitter should be continued for thirty days and upon roll call the majority voted in favor of this action.

TIIK LONDON PRESS COMMENTS German Cruisers Make To Teach Tam pico. Haste Washington, Jan. 6. Announcement from London today that Great Britain is about to transfer Sir Lionel Gar den, its minister at the City of Mexico, was regarded by official Wash ington as a substantial manifestation of the purpose of the British govern ment to remove every obstruction to the execution of President Wilson's plans for dealing with the Mexican sit uation. At the State Department it was de nied that the United States had made anv protest to the British foreign of fice against acts or utterances ascribed to Minister Garden. From other sources though, it was learned that Ambas sador Page did .-eek information at the British foreign oifice some time ago regarding the attitude of its rep resentatives in Mexico. About1 the time this occurred a semi-official statement was issued in London repudiating a statement attribute I (o Sir Lionel thai President Wilson's p ,liey toird Mex ico would 1101 h.o-e !. .1 ad .pie 1 had he n it been in ignorance 1 hi; faci-.
