(Mint Ami Bolters Hamlet Mews-Messenger. A greet dee) Is being said and written these Utter days about rotera "bolting' , the party with which they ha»* been affiliated Most of it is inappropriate and be side the point. Much depends upon the definition given the word •bolt" which has a good many i shades of meaning Webster's New International Dictionary as publish ed by Merrtam is the standard of usage In The News-Messenger of fice and that bool gives among the s definitions of the Word this: “Bolt, v. t. <4> In U. S. Politics— 1 To refuse to support, as a policy ^ determined upon or a nomination | made by a party with which one is ! I identified or by a caucus in which one has taken part." That is tbd meaning that shall be accorded the ward ia all discus sion by tbis newspaper We have always held that tbe set of voting a- different party ticket from that i ' votsd at other times did not con stitute bolting. One may change his , position or his political party with out bolting. Or he may vote for some nominees of one party and some of another party without bolt ing. But if he participates in the nominating primaries or conventions of either party, then one cannot re fuse to support the nominees of that | party without bolting. Many goou peopie this year stay ed away from the party conventions : and did not vote in the party pri- i maries so that they might feel fre ’ i to vote independently in the gen eral election coming on in Novom- j ber. These are not belters, but ar * ' independent voters. Those who en tered the conventions and the pri maries did so with the tacitly im plied. if not explicitly expressed, un derstanding that the majority should rule. In party caucus and in ! primary they fought for their fav orite principle or candidate. Some of them won. some of them last: i but every ideal of good sportsman- | ship, fair play and democracy re- j quires that all together, with united front and concert of purpose, they all abide the result and support the policy adopted by the majority Tliis j applies to directors meeting in busi ness organizations, to social or fra- j ternal clubs, and to political par ties. North Carolina Republicans fav ored Governor Lowd'n for presi dent. and as long as there was hope of his nomination they stood for him. North Carolina Democrats favored Cordell Hull for president, and cast 19 1-2 of their 24 votes fol ium in the convention. In both instances the national majority was heavily against th ' No th Carolin ian But the bed rock democratic principle of majority rule is so deeply imbedded in them that most of those who participated in any of the pre-nomination activities of their respective parties are support ing the nominees Those who did not take part in the primaries or conventions are at liberty to vote as they choose, without being liable to the charge of bolting.
