lion. h it. Simmuw, Chormnn Democratic
State Executive Committee, -r . -
- Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sin : I see from tne newspapers
that. the State Executive Committee of
the Democratic party is called to meet
in Raleigh on the 12th instant to pntthe
necessary machinery in motion for the
meeting of the State Convention, "and
for the transaction of such other busi
ness as may properly come before it."
As a member of the Democratic party
and a candidate for its honors I beg to
submit some suggestions for the consid
eration of the Committee.
It will be conceded, 1 suppose, that
there is much discontent and dissatis
faction among the great body of the
people of North Carolina, and that the
Democratic voters share largely in this
dissatisfaction. If this be true then it is
of the first importance that OHr methods
of party management should be such
that the voters whose votes we must
have if we succeed should have the fullest
opportunity to express their will as to
policy and candidates. Among other
important positions to be filled by the
results of the November election are those
of two United States Senators. The im
parlance of choosing two Democrats to
these positions can notbeoverestimated.
