m I'- DEMOCRACY IS UNITEO. The Proicr^ssiTe Democratic Meeting at Baleii{h Is One of Conficilors and Not of Beformers. Raleigh, April 8.—The, natural de duction from the meeting at Raleigh today is that the Democrats of the State are for the present in a mood to let well enough alone, content to have parly affairs rack along for such adjustment aa the party may see proper to frame up in regular order through the State Convention in June. The gathering was not noticea’ole for either' its size or enthusiasm'. The gallenes of the big auditorium were vacant and there were seats to spare in the main body of the hall. The presence of Secretary of the Navy Daniels, cf and Senator Pomerene gave decided tone to the meeting. Governor Graig was the acting head of the affair, presiding in the chair. With these on the stage were three State officials, and judge Winston, Mr. Poe, Doctor Alexander, Mr. I-^ed K. Tate, Dr. John D. Bellamy: and- sevei-al other men of party promi- nenece. Outside of the Raleigh peo ple, there ■were probably less than 300 visiting Democrats. At the outset it was seen that is R. Eivee,. F. N. Tate, A. M. Scales and R. P. Bea*Iey. The convention was declared be ready for the intSfoduction of resolu tions. Fred N. Tate, of High Point, was the first recognized. He declared himself ill favor of a separate com mission to have oversight of public utilities, taking a part of the work now performed by the corporation commission. He advocated this change at the special session of the legisla ture and veiter.'ited his advocacy this change. STATE BOAKO t>F OONTROL. C. M. Muse, of CMtbce> offered resolutions proposins tJtot there be created a State board et control to make up budgets for the State in stitution^ and eliminae the disgrace ful scrambles, as he expressed it, that occur at each session of the Legis lature in efforts to influence the mak ers to increase appropriation for thi.; or that institution. E. W. Sikes, of Wake Forest, offer ed resolutions that would make for legislation in conservation of Ih? r-t- ura! resources cf the State. RURAL CREDITS. Ur. H. Q. Alexander spoke at length STATE-WIDE PEIAJARY, John D. Bellamy, of Wilmington, offered a resolution favoring a State- ^ wide primary systcmwtth a corrupt jin advocacy of legislation that will practices act. W. S. Wilson, of Ral eigh, offered a resolution declaring for ii State-wide highway commission and general road law. A. W. Gra- Kai'.i, of Oxford, spoke in advocacy of the State highway commission idea, and insisted that the State convicts should be taken from railroad con struction and put to work on the public roads under some equitable system. I. C. Upchurch, of New Hanover, who said he renre-sented the New Hanover Democratic Chib, offered a was to be a meeting for the consid- resolution favoring «1 aw that will eration of resolutions, . and nobody seemed to have an idea of pnything of necessity to be advanced, as tliere was general agreement that .the things that had been agitated are in the main party measures of present Approval. Governor Craig about cov ered the c.ise in his address, in which he pictured thj harmonious condi tions in the party. State and Nation al, and of the determination of the Democracy of North Carolina to work together for greater things. There were a few of the old Democratic wheel-horses in the audience, but hun’Jreds of faces that naturally be exiiected to he seen in any .State force children out of the cotton and other mills and into the schools and that free text book.s be provided for the public school children. give to the farmers a system of rurai ci'edits. He took exception to the re marks of H. J. Faison about farmers riding in aatomobiles and thought thai farmers have as much right city folks to use automobiles, provided they can afford them. He thjjugh so called “cheap money” would be i: great help to the farmers. He advo cated a system that would include loans on chattels as well as on rjal estate, and though the State might wait a reasonable time to sec vvhut steps would be taken by the Fedyial Government !!i the direction of niia! credit system.

The Observer knows of no other way in which to size up today's meeting in Raleigh, and believe that what has been said about covers the bill. It is certain that the meeting had one result—it showed the Democratic party in the State is solidly united and is determined to hold together.
