third day of the convention, if the
assembly follows precedent and the
tentative program outlined today by
its officers.
Chairman William M. Butler of
the Republican national committee,
formally opened the quadrei.nial
meeting at 11 o'clock today, central
time. Today and Wednseday will
be given ovei to the time honored
procedure of setting up tentative
and then permanent organizations.
Thursday should see the fireworks.
Members of the national
committee for the next four years
will be formally ratified and then
the roil will be called for nominating
speeches. There will be plenty of
them because there are plenty of

CAPTAIN MORDECAI WRITES
FROM PHILLIPINF. ISLANDS
The editor of The Democrat is in
i receipt of the following letter from
Dr. Alfred Mprriecai, captain medi.

located at Fort Mills Philippine Islands.
Dr. Mordecai is well known
in Watauga county, having spent a

strange plants and flowers all about.
I There are about 5,000 natives living
, on the islam! in several small villages
J or "harries," and 1 am the family

. Americans. The natives live in very
J siua!! houses made of bamboo and1

J roosters for cock-fights, which is

J parents and five to ten children,

HOOVER VIRTUALLY ASSURED
OF REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
Kansas City, June lit.?Herbert
Hoover's fast moving cohorts stampeded
the Republican national convention
even before its opening- session
began today and made it virtually
a gathering to ratify his noniina-j
t:bn for president of the United'
States.
Unit-s there is a political earth-1
qualce. which no seer will predict, the
secretary of commerce veil: be declared
the choice of his party Thursday
on the first ballot. Then a vice
presidential selection uiil bo made,
and the big show wiij: be oyer.
Kansas City, -Time 10.?With the
.vets determined to hold their fire
until they glimpse the whites cf the!
enemy s eves, a militant pvommtinn
r \-as riebjayi: r,g here" today to
demand from ihc Republican party
an assurance that the prohibition
iaws won Id be actively enforced by,
sympathetic official?. Fostering]
plans already worked out by a com-j
mittee of representatives of the;
various dry organizations, the women's
national committee for law enforcement
opened a convention that
will throw a five-day bombardment
upon the Republicans. Almost their
first action was the approval of a
resolution asking the party convention
to put enforcement in the hands
of friends of the law and to enact
additional laws to assure a drinkioss
land. The smaller group of wets, in
a defensive position, was proceeding
slowly. Miss Louis Gross, chairman
of the women's committee for"repeal
of the 18th amendment, arrived with
the announcement that she would
oppose any dry or enforcement
planks.
Many an uneducated man has

Raleigh, June IP?Science and religion
are partner.- and the trulyscientific
mar. and the Christian
man are the best friends in the
world, said Dr. E. Y. Mullins,
president of the Southern Baptist
Theological seminary, in a sermon
here tonight. "Science cannot get
rid of the reflection of God in man's
nature, neither can it get rid of the
conviction of God in roan's tr.ind,"
he said. "That is, science cannot get
rid of conscience. Man can control
his thoughts, emotions, will, but he
cannot control his conscience. Science
cannot destroy the experience
of God in man's life, neither can it
get rid of the revelation of God in
Christ Jesus."
