New Scheme Proposed for Presidential Selection
The New York World features Miss Mamie Hatchett of Henderson proposing a national lottery style plan where each state nominates a candidate, then a shared Washington panel casts lots for the White House with ad hoc Senate advisers and staged vacancies. The scheme is dismissed as impracticable and corruptible. Also reported are Wake county election shifts with Bridgers favored after Lougee declines, a lynching confession in the Philbeck case, editor leap year humor, and railroad progress notes in Durham and Henderson.
