Taft, a Republican presiden tial candidate, declared here Mon day night that the United States must decide whether it will re main a republic of its historic pattern or become a government by a totalitarian executive. Speaking at the Republican Lincoln Day rally for North Car olina, the Ohio senator predicted that "if the new deal were licens ed to proceed in the 1940 elec tion, the result would be “a ■mod ern, streamlined totalitarian dic tatorship.” "This country in I860,’’ Tafc said in a prepared address, "facod the greatest crisis in its history— Whether it should remain a na tion or be broken up into two or more bitterly hostile states. Through the calm determination of Abraham Lincoln, we were preserved a nation, but only after the frightful trial of Civil War. I Faces b'uiidaiiicntal Decision I "Again in 1940 we face a fun damental decision—whether thi-s country snail remain the Kind of country which our fatiiers made and Lincoln preserved, a republic protecting the inalienable "i-thts, the freedom of liberty of its in dividual citizens, or a totalil.ir- ian executive with unlimited and I undivided power over the live.' and activities of indlvidiia!-; aiid local govi'rnments alike. “The new deal has slowfd up today because the peor-Ie in IftlS .elected a Con.gress wihcU, repre senting its constituents, dirap- proves of more government pow er and spending. In effect, we have a deadlock in Ooc.grcas i,)- day. The new deal is anab'.s to force its wishes on Coe.gres.a but its strongest foes of the season here on Tuesday ndght, February 20, when the Galax, Va,, high team comes here for a game in the high school gymnasium, be- .ginning at 7:30. It wUl be a re turn engagement of the game to be played in Galax tomorrow night. As a special entertainment fea ture in addition to the game, the junior class will sponsor a cake walk. The North Wilkesboro Moun tain Lions, who have enjoyed a very successful season so far, will play in the Elkin tournament be ginning on February 21, school officials said today. HOLLER RESIGNS TO ACCEPT WORK AT STATE CAPITOL (Continued from page one) McCrary, district agent, and R. F. Shaw, chairman of the state Agricultural Conservation Com mittee, were present and led in Hie discussions. T. E. Story acted as secretary to the meeting. Answering the question which had been raised as to whether or i.ot the commissioners favored rc- taiiiin-g the office of the. county agent, T. E, Story read copies of letters written by the commission ers to Dean I. O. Schaub, of the extension service, settin.g forth their views as to retention and support of the office and .selec tion of an agent. At that point in the discussions it. was, tpade known, to .the com mittee that Mr. Holler was leav ing immediately to take up his duties with the extension service in a position at Raleigh. The committee members freely expressed their desire that both the board of commissioners and the Exten.'ion 9'ervice im'mediate- ly reach a comprbfnise in the rhatter of selecting ah agent. In further discussions It was recognized that much progress had been made in the county un der the leadership of the late A. G. Hendren, former county a- gent, and his successor, Mr. Hol ler. High compliments were paid both of them and the unanimous expression of the committee was than an agent be appointed Im mediately to carry on the agricul tural program. It was' also brought out in the discussions that the commissioners and the Eixiension Service had in the past encouraged most liberally in money and in supervision the growing farm program in the county. The committee expressed “our earnest desire that the agricultur al Extension Service and the county commissioners both agree to give and take and thereby work out, as soon as ■possible, an agreeable compromise so that our program may continue.” In order that the matter may be properly brought to the atten tion of the public. Chairman J. iM. German appointed a Steering committee composed ot Floyd F’. Fields, R. L. Profflt and F. G. Holman. He also named a pub licity committee composed of H. C. Roberts, J. A. Poplin, T. M. Carter. A. R. Miller and W. O. Barnett. The committeemen requested a meeting of the county board of commissioner to be held on Monday, February 19, at 10:30 a. m. for consideration of the county agent office situation.

Taft, Of Ohio. Senator Tift was the fprinclpsl speaker at the Lincoln Day dinner heard hare last night. The convention' was held at 0. Henry hotel.'

Mr. Stanley’s unanimous elec tion came after a bitter fight on the floor staged by supporters of Mrs. Reynolds and the incum'bent. The secret ballot revealed Mr. Stanley had won by a vote of 26 to 14 and Mrs. Reynolds made a motion to make the vote unani mous. Tufi Given Floor During the ses,sion Senator Taft entered and wa-s given the floor. He told the gathering he has spoken in 26 stites since Septem ber and that on all sides he finds tlie people confident of a Republican victory at the polls this year. He declared thei-e was a big change in the vote of 1938 from that of 1936 and that Republican candidates for congress polled more votes in 1936 than did their Democratic opponents. The trend is scheduled to continue this year, he said. Ro^Bim Wediiiettloj , I'l^ C^d Windstorm - ; 0# Northwest ./^flAr a loll of more than a w'e^.When mild 'weather prevail ed.
