VOL. XXXIX, NO. 36 I American Jewry Pays Its Tribute to Vance! Asheville, Oct. 14.?Amid thel Sylvan charm and -pilot of old Calvary church's .sainted churchyard. American Jewery this afternoon paid' its debt of gratitude to Zebulon liuird Vance, war governor of North Carotins, whose golden voice, now j long stilled in death, in its lifetime: invoked for "the scattered nation"! a measure of tfio justice which the! American nation promised to the oppressed peoples of ali mankind. > ' The dedicated tablet, the gift of,' Asheville lodge 714, Independent; 1 Older of Bnni Brith, to his memory,; : and among the monuments that; ; have reared in the "Westminster ab- 1 bey of the south" to many memor-i able geniuses of Dixie. they ex-,1 pressed their eternal gratitude forj 1 the championship which tlovemor ' Vance gave to their cause in a day ' when lew men had kind words to sav! 1 j 1 for them. ] 1 Bathed in the warm glow of a bril-j ' liant autumn sun 2,000 people, Jews] ' and Gentiles, stood within the peace- 1 ful surroundings to listen and ap-j1 plaurt as Kahbi Stephen S. Wise, of! New York city, America's foremost; : Jew. translated Governor Vance's.5 life in terms of the meaning of 1 Christianity, and in the light of ' mankind's age long struggle to j i achieve justice and brotherhood, Api ; plaiisc frequently echoed through : the wooded groves as the rabbi, I j himself fahtous around the world asj ; a champion pi the cause of thej > uuwmroimen anil the needy, .snared, to eloquent heights in linking up the1 spirit which moved and guided ? <>' '-1 < ernor Vance with the call for hu-| ! man tolerance and kindliness today. j i "Vance," he told the multitude I about him, "was so much a Chris- j i tian that he nail a deep human com-, i passion, and was moved to plead Iho! I cause of all men who were in need I of justice. I believe that the secret, i of Vance's inimoilai championship ! i of the cause of 'the scattered nation' i i may he found in the feci, that he! I loved Christianity and dared to! translate into terms that all men i t could understand. ; I .Vance did not merely plead for] i kindness for the .levy. He pleaded for, justice which was of the very OS-J! tenee of the American government; i and genius." I l The tribute to North Carolina's! ! great war governor was more than! a gifted eulogy. It wa3 also a pier! i for human brotherhood. It was an;! innovation of the spirit of V'ancc- on! behalf of ,"mankind's needy minori-; t ties" of "the few and the oppres-i ed." nr.il for the developmi-n: of! t broader understandings, wider sym-i.S pathie.s, a move genuine compassion, j i and a real brotherhood. j ^ i , SPANISH WA& VETS TO MEET i AI WU.KESBORO OCTOBER 23 J Spanish War veterans rciddiilg in' Watauga, Wjjkes and Ashe counties, Sail meet in the courthouse at ; tViikesboxo Tuesday evening.

Of 10,000 appointments he has made since ho has beer, commissioner of highways and superintendent' of public works, Tammany has onlyasked for one, a position of watch-1 man on one o> the New York piers. Col. Frederick Stuart Green told the women. The supporters of Smith were urged to write to the south and give! a "true picture" of the man againstwhom the "stupid but virtually injurious whispering campaign is be-; iiig waged most violently in the south." Col. Greene called Governor! Smith the "greatest living statesman in this country." Mr. Battle asked for the support: of the south, not only because he. was the best man in "experience.' character and ability, but because of the traditional southern stand on! states rights. Mr. Hoover was called "autocratic, self-willed, evasive on issues and with an itch l'or power, and public trust," WESTERN N. C.

As the veieran congressman launched into his defense of the county, state and national tickets, the general consensus ol opinion among his champions was that This was Do ugh ton's greatest Watauga deliverance. He declared the r 'Verument cannot "endure under bootleg rule and said it was folic for southerners to. expect stronger prohibition by voting for the Ifardihg-Coolidge policies! "1 am s prohibitionist by inheritance," Mr. Doughton said, "and I shall stand for prohibition in its until 1 alii convinced that it is unworkable and thai some other plan will work better. But we all agree that the present situation is. unbearable. "When Go vovnof Smith asked for it'iodnkglion of the prohibition arc hdmerit, he was merely seeking fin ruined > for this unbearable - itv.atio 1 am not convinced that his plan the best, but ! can understand why he is groping for fome v ay to fid the country of boor leg rule. \\ -i th Carolina is a dry stale.

"Moreover, His whole campaign is "eased on carrying on' the Matdingi Ipolidge policies.

Mr. Doajrhton tool-; up one by one he prideipai objections to Go ear-' Hi , or Mv.ith tafjp r.fwted them. In regard to GaVftrnoi Smith's religion, Mr. Lioviyhton road from the constitution the clause prohibiting? the appiicariuti (it any religious test to any candidate for public rfifioe. Laying aside the copy of the constitution, he caire closer to th audience and ashed, 'Are we to' nipke an unwritten iaw that shali supersede our constitution? if we set such a precedent as thai, our Constitution will Speaking of immigration, Mr. Doughton pointed out that Mr. .Smith said in Nashville that he endorsed completely the Democratic platform en immigration and that is all a Democrat should ask of his candidate. Mr. Dough ton defended Tammany Hall as the friend of the south. He admitted thai years ago there was corruption in Tammany Hall at a time when the whole government was shot through with corruptou and when a great statesman said that politics could not he made clean. But since then, he said. Tammany has cleaned its own house, and no crookedness can he found in the mod Grit Tammany Hall. "The Republicans have tried their best to find some scandal in the Democratic administration, but. failing that, they have fallen back on what Tammany did some time in 5. the seventies and eighties because r they can find nothing else against the Democratic candidate." 5lr.
