THE REPUBLICANNOMINEE
In the editorial column of the
Vsheville Citizen a lirg" number ot
ftepublicans have no doubt been sur
prised to read the splendid editorial
Tom the pen of the editor of thai
taper commending the nomination of
Captain R. Kenneth Smothers for
Congress by that party, which ediorial
is a vindication in itself of any
barges of unfairness by the Demo ratic
press. The editorial follows:
"The Citizen congratulates both the
Republican party and the peopte or
he Tenth District upon, the nonitna:ion
by the Republicans as Congressional
Representative of a gentleman
>f such high character, ability anu
inimnoochabb renutation as Captain
II. Kenneth Smathers.
"The party credits itself by soliwing
both that it lias high-class material
on which to draw for a candidate,
tnd th.it it has the distinction to select
such a candidate. The people or
the district may take satisfaction rn
.he fact that the personnel of its Representative
will he admirable, whether
it be the yet undetermined nominee
if the Democratic party or the chosen
standard bearer of the Republicans.
It is of course highly improbable that
Captain Smathers will he elected, but
rejection will not be due to any fault,
in him, hut to the fact that the
high-class Democratic nominee will
represent policies more preferred by
the people than those of the Republicans.
"The Republican nominee is of the
type whicli we think would hive appealed
to Theodore Roosevelt, a
clean-lived, upstanding man who crea
its his fellow-men with good Intentions
and does not seek to find offense
where none possible was in the
J*
remotest degree intended. Any reai
criticism must be directed against the
nominee on two points?his Republican
principles, which he inherited
front liis father, Postmaster C. F.
Smathers of Canton, and his youib.
"Rut youth is not arguable against
Captain Smathers, for he has com
pressed a good deal of experience in
his 27 years. He began life early ;ina
drove hard. He was an All Soutiu rn
track star at Trinity College (Dune
University), and at the age of 13 was
a lieutenant in the World War service.
For four years he was a member
of the faculty at Emory University,
and for several years he has
been actively engaged in the practice
of law."

llley Makes
tamest Appeal
to Voters
If there was ever a candidate for
rlitical office who held no ill will
uttered no disparaging words In
ry manner whatsoever about his opaneut,
that man is Felix E. Alley, of
^aynesville, candidate for the Demiratic
nomination for Congress from
le Tenth Congressional DIstHct In
le June Primaries. Mr. Alley not
lly has nothing but the highest
raise for Mr. Weaver, but he says>
[upliatically, and means every word
! it, that if he is defeated In this
riihary, he will do more political
impaigning in Mr. Weaver's behalf
ad help him to win by the biggest
lajority that any man has ever had 1
i the Tenth District.
That is just the kind of man Felix
. Alley is, and his friends admire i
im because he harbors no envy and
usbands no malice even against the
itterest political foes. Although Mr.
11,ey desires the nomination very
nick, not even his enemies could say
ith truth that he would stoop to
ny chicanery or vituepration to gain
is nomination. He is a hard hitter,
ut an absolutely fair fighter.
Although Mr. Alley expresses himslf
as being glad to enter the camaign
in behalf of Mr. Weaver, m the
vent Of the latter's nomination, he
. .1 i l n a. UIV. a
lies not luinK mat sucu an exuiuion
of altruism on his part will be
t all necessary, for he expects to be
cminated on June 5th by a substanal
majority. He has felt the pulse
l the people and feels confident that
e will sweep the district lit the comig
Primary.
Then what manner of man is this
elix E. Alley, who harbors no
rudge, nor even utters a thought
icept in praise of his political anigonist
? First of all, he is a prodft
of the mountains of Western
orth Carolina, a scion of that sturdy
,ock of mountaineers that gave these
ills their name and reputation for
itegrity of character and hospttallty
mt have become proverbial.
Born in- Cashiers Valley, Jackson
ounty, on July 5, 1873, he became
boy on the farm and spent most
! his time on the farm, too, for the
lly schools that he could go to at,
me lasted only a bare six weeks
T ~ X ~ ? UAH.Qvnr hn DTI tOVOfl
year, inciter, uuncici, u? vU?w.VMI
ie Cullowhee School, which was then
at a junior high school, conducted
f Professor R. L. Madison, rrom
hich school he graduated in 1896.
What to do then was ,the problem
hich Mr. Alley had to solve. Lin-1
)!n like, having secured some law
aoks, by lamp at night without an |
istruetor, absolutely self-taught, he
astered the intricasies of Blackone,
civil, criminal, and commeral
law, and was admitted to the
ir in 1903, a full fledged lawyer,
'hen' it is considered that this man,
ho is now asking for the nomlnaon
for Congress, actually without
sip or the guidance of a teacher,
even a lawyer friend, dissected the
isential law books, necessary for his
iccess, and stood the examination
sfore the Supreme Court of North
arolina and won his license, we may
ell inquire with emphasis what manjr
of man he is.
As corallaries and scholiums, folwing
his being licensed to practice
w in the courts of North Carolina,
; has won since then like honors
om the Supreme Court of South
arolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and
om the Circuit Court of Appeals at
ichmond, Virginia, and the Supreme
aurt of the United States. And these
e not mere empty honors, but he
is appeared in important causes In
1 of the States and Courts menoned,
and also in the Courts of Alaima
and Ploirda. And all this has
?en done in the short time of about
^enty years.
In pu public life, no man has been
>fore the people of Western North
arolina more or in better favor than
r. Alley. Having served four years
? ? -a rvmrf of
I UierK OI U1C ouycuui vw<w. ?
ickson County, he became a mem;r
of tlfe State Legislature in 1905,
id later Solicitor of the Twentieth

At this juncture Grant succeeded
passing the other car a second
ne, and as he was passing someone
the Ford opened fire from tne
>nt seat, he thought.
Officer Grant was shot in the right
ie of his face, the ball entering
it below the right ear and coming
t at the back of his head.
The car in which Grant and Owens
ire driving was passing the car 01
sher when the fatal shot was fired,
vens realized that something had
ne wrong with Grant when he
iled to control the car and fell over
ainst him.
Skidding along, with its wheels on
