It is your privilege under the law to vote for the Democratic nominees, for the Republican ticket, or for the Eisenhower - Nixon ticket headed “Nomination By Petition”, with the names of the electors pledged to Eisenhower and Nixon under the end to the other. For the news-14 > paper fraternity of this state his passing is a great loss while his influence and high ethical princi ples will live on. His name and The News and Courier will ever be inseparable.

This means that if you are quali fied by holding a registration certifi cate it is your privilege to vote as you please in a secret ballot. The state Democratic Convention has made such a ruling and has given assurance to voters that if they do so will nbt impair their party stand ing.

The last time we visited his office we did so especially to intro duce Mr. Walter Regnery to Dr. “Billie,” who was absent that day. Later he wrote us a letter express ing his regret in not meeting Mr. Regnery. “Bring him back again,” he said.. When the Bank of Clin ton opened a few years ago he wrote us expressing his love for this community and recalled past associations. “I want to be a small part of your city,’-’ he said, and re quested that we purchase as much stock as possible in the new bank.
