The enterprise haa no encouragement from Mlae Well who alwaya haa been regarded a more or less, mostly more, unmanageable Democrat. When she, went to. the polls a few weeks ago and declined to east the ballot with that fine re gard for "contact with the voters' which alwaya has marked the Democ- racys ionduct toward tha Australian plan of autfrage, she found herself such an unearthly creature that soon she waa front page stuff on the pa pers throughout the nation.

' . -- Airplanes ls Desaii ; Everybody is after an army air plane for the fourth of July. Writing to Senator Overman about the :, re quest for a plane at Ashboro, Oener al Bowley, commander at Camp Bragg aays numerous requests for planes have been recelvedHiut that there is only one available, and he can only do the best he can for Ash boro and the other places. The peo ple of Boone, however, are certain to receive a visit from the filers. Mr. Simmons today telegraphed the may or of Boons to thla effect; "Am glad to advise that In response to peti tions made to him by Congressman Doughton and myself. General Bow- ley haa telegraphed me that weather conditions -permitting, he will, send airplane to Boone for your fourth of July celebration. He requests that landing field be marked by anchor ing white sheets at- each corner and! in the middle. Field should be smooth and ISO yards long. General Bowley will wire you on July fourth approximate . hour . of , arrival of plane." Senator Simmons especially re quested General Bowley, command ing Camp Bragg, to send the plane to Boone. Hs called the general's at tention to the fact that the celebra tion at Boone will ba participated In by the people of five counties who have probably never seen aa air plane, and that aendlng the airplane to Boone would really mean a great deal more than sending a plane to other places. ,' Slmntoao Gets Boaoueta ' -v Senator Simmons has receive -a number of telegrams from, Fayette tIUb, Wilmington and other points In the east thanking him for the good, work achieved In the sin ate com merce committee yesterday, when so many North Carolina waterway pro jects were approved.

Mb lwai hna tad Miartph oraea. 1 Sat UbM lillld'-S Urnst S)M) By C W. OI1.BEKT (br-rrttet, mi, H FbuuiMU NMlr ledtw.) Washington, June 10. The defeat ot Senator McCumber for renomina tlon ta North Dakota, which Is taken for granted here, I hailed as another sign of the "wave ot radicalism which is passing" over the country." But analysis falls to disclose 1 any more radicalism in thla North Dakota re sult than In the nomination of Bev erldge In Indiana or Plnohot in Penn sylvania. , . - In the North Dakota primaries Governor Nestos seems to have been renominated over the Nonpartisan league candidate, B. F Baker." That Is to say,-on a straight out Issue of agrarian radicalism in -the state, the conservatives won and at the - same time a Nonpartisan, leaguer, Fraaler, waa nominated for the senate.. The organised conservatives ot the state, the independent voters sociation, who were responsible for Governor Nestos victory, failed to support Senator McCumber. McCumber probably owes his defeat to the enemies he has made in his own state by straddling the Nonpar tisan league Issue, He refused to aid in, accomplishing he recall - of the league governor laat year, the same Fraster who has now defeated him. At the same time he failed to win the support ot the league by his oourae In Waahlngton. The chief Issue raise against Mo- Cumber Seems to have been hla sup port of the Each-Cummins railroad law which to the farmers' minds has spelled high freight rates. This has been one of the chief Issues In Indi ana and Iowa, where a similar over turn of the Republican machine . has taken place. , - Hot a "Radical" Oseml But one can hardly call quarrel with the EscH-Cummlns law radical. When th recent out In freight rates was made by the Interstate Com merce commission under that law. the two members ot Prealdent Harding's cabinet who have most dlreot eon corn with the economic situation in the Country, privately denounced ths law which made a horlsontal -reduc tion In rates necessary.
