Two new men enter the race for
commissioners this week, Messrs. J.
D. Mclver, of Cape Fear township,
and R. G. Perry, of Hadley township.
Both are genial and capable gentle
men and live in sections of the coun
ty that have not been represented
, on the Board in many years. Each
will doubtless make a good run, and,
with four fine fellows in the field, it
• is hard to predict who will be the
next commissioners.
Mr. W. B. Cheek has finally come
out as a candidate for the House of
Representatives.. He corrects our
statement of last week that he would
not be a candidate and would vote for
’ Mr. Bell by explaining that he told
Mr. Bell he wouldn’t be a candidate
unless he should be drafted and thai
he claims to have been. Anyway, he
is in the field and will make the race
interesting for Mr. Bell. It begins tc
look like a real political fight is. a
head. It will not be surprising to see
the candidates aligned in two grodps.
but as to the exact components of the
groups we cannot predict.
Saturday is the day for the Demo
cratic precinct meetings. The Recorc
hopes the pepple will turn put and
mike the precinct meetings really rep
resentative. This will insure a rep
resentative county convention, and
that a representative delegation tc
the state convention.
That man Mussolini is admirable in
some respects. His behavior when a
foreign woman had plugged his nos
trils with a bullet intended for his
brains bespoke the brave and strong
man. But his strength is the world’s
misfortune, in view of his disposition
to play the empire builder a la Na
poleon and Caesar. There is hardly
a question that he and, his Fascists
put the Italians to work and have
placed the country upon its feet, but
in the long run the remedy may
prove more violent than the disease.
His beast of Italy’s readiness to back
his will with 3,000,000 trained youths
indicates a ruthless disregard for the
lives of the young men that promises
ill to world peace. Kaiser William
was a novice in imperialism compared
with what, Mussolini is liable to de
velop into if he is allowed much long
er to browbeat his neighbors.
The argument over the question
of modifying the Volstead act so as
to permit the sale of light wines and
beers has been raging before the
senate for ten days. Last week the
“wets” of the country were permitted }
to present their side of the question, i
It must be admitted that they made
it clear that enforcement of the pro
hibition law has been largely a failure
in some sections of the country, and
that it would be hard to make the
situation worse. This week the
“drys” arc having their turn. What
ever the ultimate result in national
legislation, there is no chance that
the prohibition law will be weakened
in North Carolina, or in the majority
of the states. On the other hand,
it makes little difference if the na
tional law is modified in those sec
tions where the law as it stands is
disregarded. In the real prohibition 1
sections of the country, the state
laws will still prohibit the sale of
intoxicants while the situation cannot
be made worse in sections where the
sentiment of the people does not back
the Volstead law. Consequently,
like a great many other questions that
agitate the public mind, the thing
is of little consequence either v ay it
turns out. Yet the thing that should
be done, if possible, is to enforce the
laws and thus overcome the cn’y roa‘
argument that modifiicaticnists have.

A Gleam ofHope for the
Democrats
4 ~
The dissatisfaction of the
Western farmers with the pres
ent high tariff brings a gleam
of hope for the Democrats. It
is the only cheerful bit of light
that has shone upon the party’s
prospects for a long time.
.The chairman of the Corn
Belt Conference, called by the
Governor cf lowa in January,
‘ v;.3 in Washington this week to
age farm relief legislation, and
f ie said the fanners out his way
j were getting tired 01 being put
on, year after year, with vain
promises., .
.The story in a nutshell is this:
he farmers sell in an open mar
:cl, but, because of the protec
tive tariff, buy. in a closed one.
Naturally they don’t, like it.
They want either higher prices
for their crops or, failing that,
•lower prices for the things they
have to buy. Here, then, is a
great Middle Western interest
conflicting with the interest of
the manufacturing East. Since!
both the East and the Middle j
West have been Republican
strongholds, that means the pos
sibility of serious discord in the
G. O. P.
The Democratic party is split
down the middle by the prohibi
tion issue. The city popula
tions upon which it depends for
success in the New England and
Middle Atlantic states, in Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois, are dis
tinctly wet, while the party in
the South and in some Western
states is overwhelmingly dry.
A1 Smith, by all odds the ablest
candidate in sight—almost cer
tainly the only one who could
carry states north of the Poto
mac—is distrusted, and often
openly reviled, as a Roman
Catholic and a wet by Protestant
and dry Democrats. It appears
next to impossible for the two
actions to find a candidate to
whom both will give whole
hearted support; and there arc
r-ome astute observers who think
t not unlikely that there will
:e an actual bolt as there was
n Charleston in 1860.
On the whole, the discord in
the Democratic party; is far
more serious than the discord in
he Republican. The latter, at
present, is nothing more than a
rather vague threat. It is
highly probable that the canny
Republican leaders will find a
way to smooth out the trouble,
at least to the extent of pre
venting a costly defection of
votes.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Remember the Democratic precinct
2onventions occur Saturday, April 17.
at 2 o’clock. The county convention
meets Saturday, April 24, at noon,
md the state convention at Raleigh on

To Those Who Judge
Qualify hy Price
The quality of Ford cars cannot be judged bv the prices at which \1
they are sold —because Ford prices are made possible by condi- II
tions that are absolutely unique in the automotive industry.
( From mine to market the Ford car is the work of a single or- I
ganization. The Company owns and operates the mines and
forests that furnish the raw materials for its products. This
material is carried over Ford transportation routes, fabricated
in Ford mills, manufactured in Ford plants —and the finished
product is sold to the public through Ford dealers.
The following statement, previously made in an advertising
message, is repeated because of its significance to the public:
“// any other manufacturer endeavored to produce a
car similar to the Ford , according to the high stand
ards of quality in material and workmanship used by
the Ford Motor Company and with the same tried and
proved design , it would be impossible to offer it at any
thing like Ford prices . And it is well to note that even
with less costly design they have not met Ford prices•"
