And, though the occasion was
young Democracy’s get-together,
"old Democrats” by the score
were present. Legislators, past,
present and prospective, as well
as county officials and would-he
future governors of the state at
tended.
Only two congressmen were
present, John H. Jerr of the sec
ond district and R. L. Doughton
of the ninth. John C. Rodman,
Jr., of Washington read letters
from the other congressmen, of
the east expressing regret they
could not be present. Doyle D.
.Mley of Waynesville introduced
Congressman Doughton.
“Since 1932 there have been
no old Democrats and no young
Republicans," Congressman
Doughton said, “All Democrats
are young and active while Re
publicans are old. decrepit and
nearly lifeless.”
Congre.ssman Doughton assert
ed that the Demccratic party
gave the country sate and good
government, “which the Repub
lican party does not do.” and is
the only instrumentality of gov
ernment which does give safe
rule.
Covcinor Ehringhaiis added his
iiraise for Roosevelt and North
(’aroliiia congressional delegation
und then turned to a recounting
of state Democracy.
"I sumn#>n you. each and
everv one. to the comradsliip of
a real party loyalty that suggests
hut does not slander, that aids
but docs not obstruct, that plans
tint does not prescribe, that ral
lies hut does not rail at its fel
lows in the ranks.” the governor
asserted.
Hliringhaus declared there was
■•(langer" confronting the Demo
cratic party. “It is insidious; it
comes from within and not from
without onr ranks.” he said.
"If you. don't know what I
mean, watch and read carefully
the Republican campaign key
note speech which is soon to be
delivered in a reighhoring city,
and then see for yourself how
much of it is hut a rehash of nt-
teratices of self-styled Demo
crats." the governor asserted.
DefemliiiK the record of his
adm'nistration, Ehringhaus said
the 11 pledges in the 1932 Dem
ocratic platform had been kept,
adding “and 1 challenge a study
of the record in proof of this as
sertion.”
The pledges were numerated
as. revaluation of property, re
moval of the 15 cent ad valoem
tax. preservation of the state’s
credit through a balanced budget,
maintenance of public schools
and higher institutions of learn
ing in efficiency, promotion of
public health and welfare, care
of unfortunate and helpless, con
solidations o f governmental
agt^pcies where practicable, re
duction of governmental expense,
enforcement of prohibition laws,
fair dealing between capital and
labor, and maintenance of high
est possible standard of state in
stitutions.
Governor Ehringhaus recount
ed the administration’s part In
obtaining government aid to In
crease the price of cotton, tobac
co and peanuts.
He said, it stood behind devel
opment of port facilities, the
park movement in the west and
the fight for lower freight rates.

We rejoice in the brightness
which clothes the morning land
even In Its desolation. But in the
sacred charm of night we would
grope for awhile in the dark of
ancient time, that we may rejoice
the more in the'dawn of our day.
When we call up the spirits of
the mighty dea.l and bring back
the days of old we must needs
sit in the shadows of evening or
go forth to meditate in the sacred
stillness of the night. Forms dim
ly seen impress us more than
when set in ti»e broad day. We
get our clearest sense of com
panionship with departed loved
ones, saints and heroes “in
thoughts from visions of the
night when deep sleep falleth
upon man.”
