S. fanning for the Kitehin people, presented a minority report declaring1 that the question of indorsement of the record of Simmons and Kiteh in was a question for the votirs of th State to decide and the convention should not attempt to prejudice the action of the voters. "We indorse the record of the Democratic party in the State and the nation." Morrison took the floor in behalf of the ma jority report and .skeil for fair play and justice. The Kitehin forces attempted to prevent Morrison from speak ing, but he gallantly stxd his ground. "If F. M. Simmon is no ta Democrat, who is!

Counsel for Floyd Allen, convicted of the murder of William M. Foster, prosecuting attorney for Carroll county, will go to the supreme court of appeals in his behalf. Unless that tribunal shall inter fere with the verdict of the trial court he has less than one chance in a thaosand of escaping the death chair. He has sworn that he will never be put in the death chair, but the hope of any clemency from Governor Mann is so remote that it will be a waate of time for him to make an ap- ("peal. It may be that he will not be sentenced till all the cases have been tried, and all the re maining cases have been post poned till the July term, of the court.

There is no definite clue to the murderer, although the authorities are searching for a suspect. A desire for revenge is believed to have prompted the murder. Only one of the bodies show ed indications of a struggle. One of the SpilUnger girls lay with one arm thrown out as thoutgh she had awakened and tried to ward off the murderer's blow. A lighted kerosene lamp was found on the floor in the middle of the room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Moore. ' The only clew to the slayer, so far discovered, are blocdy finger prints in different parts cf the house. Inquiry has convinced the au thorities that ik other visitor was at the Moore home last night up to the time the family .retired. Decorate Comrades Graves. Washington, June 9. A group of grizzled veterans who wore th gray 50 years ngi- in the struf gle between the slot s, assisted by allied Confederate organiza tions gathered in Arlington cem etery today to decorate the graves of the Confederate sol diers who sleep in the nation's valhalla. The address of the occasion was delivered by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who counsel led his hearers to remain true to the high ideals which are the heritage of their southern! ances try. An Impressive feature of the exercises was the unveiling cf an immense floral setpiece fashioned in the form of a south ern cross. The graves were then strewn with flowers, the children f the 4 Confederacy assisting. Special decoration was made of tho tomb of the unknown dead and of the grave of "Fighting Joe" Wheeler. Hilary A. Herbert, former sec retary of the navy and chairman of the Arlington monument com mit tcv proposes placing in the cemetery is practically completed. This statue, a feminine figure typifying the south, is being made in Rome by Sir Moses Eekiel, a native of Virginia, who bore arms in the cause of the Confederacy. t " f W i 'fr-' -t - i l i REPUBLICANS ARE DOOMED TO DEFEAT. Unless Tait is Ncrninated on the First Ballet, Rooevelt Will Be y Nomfafrted, and' a Million Bus iness Men Will Fitfht Him. , Washington, D., C. June 8. The dco Die of the country will soon know, whether the ReptJ) Ik-aa .invention at Chicago will bev controlled by tl Republican ean wager yCur lastypdar.i 'that Roosevelt is going to make one red hot fight to capture that nomination, and although he 'says he is not. going to Chicago it is a safe bet that he will be on the ground directing his own co horts and instilling into them some of lib own pugnacious qual ities as a -political scrapper. It is the general belief here that there will be no dark horse at Chicago and that the National committee will ride rough shod over nearly every Roosevelt con test and give those delegations tu Taft. If they do and Taft can hold his Southern delegations, it means Taft'a nomination on the firt ballot, because if it ever goes beyond the first ballot Mr. Taft is a gone fuwn skin. That will be the que for the bolt of the Roosevelt delegates and a rump convention that will nomi nate Roosevelt and pass a set of resolutions that will Set forth a cry of fraud which will give them the occasion and the excuse for splitting the Republican party and handing the election over to the Democrats. The Democrats are very complacent over the situation and it makes no dif ference whether Toft or Roosevelt is nominated, it spells disaster and defeat for the Republican party. If the Roosevelt follow ing should bulldoze or cajole enmigh Republican delegates to take the nomination away from Taft there will bo no bolt on the part of the Taft people, but a sullen desire and intention on their part to go home and stick a knife under the fifth rfcb of Mr. Roosevelt on election day next November. There are two million German Republicans in the United States who will absolutely refuse to support any man for a third term and who will either vote thy Democratic ticket or stay at home. Desides these there are a million business men who will do the same thinjf. If Mr., Roosevelt should be nominated by the regular Re publican convention, he will be the worst licked man for Presi dent next November since Horace Greeley in 1972. This is the in tention of the old line Republi cans who d o not intend to turn over their party to Roe velt and bis following of ppu hMic Republicans. SIGNIFICANT W0RD3 OF JUDGE BOYD. Wealth and Position No Chum To Leuiagacy in JUs Court. Greensboro, June 8. In sen terjeku Eugene Hayes, a, wealthy and influential citizen of Surry county, to the federal prison at Atlanta for a tenn of a year and a day yesterday, Judge Jas. E. Iioyd took occasion to declare that in his court wealth and po sition gave no claim to leniency. "I have sentenced men convicted of the saint offense this morn ing who hardly had clothes to put ou the'r back." said Judge Uoyd, ' and I can't take the at titude of letting this man. go with a fine merely because he is shown to have wealth and high standing in the church. He then passed sentence as stated. Hayes had been convicted of dis tilling, the evidence presented by District Attorney Holton re vealing also a rather immoral life, while the defense based its prin cipal claim for leniency on a cer tificate from the moderator and clerk of the Baptist church at Mt. Airy testifying to the good character and high moral stan dard of the defendant. The remarks of Judge Iioyd were construed by attorneys and others in the courtroom as es pecially significant in view of the fact that N. Glenn Williams, the wealthy Yadkin county dis tiller under conviction of postal irregularities, is due to appear at this terra of court for sentence Williams, along with Thomas Craft, was convicted more than a year ago, but because of other, revenue cases pending ."Judge Bovd has- suspended sentence from time to time. At the last tcriii iu court lie ave no ice lluut he''ould pas sentence just as 'ton; the Ciruuit t,,oiut oi ,fKS had been settled. This has leen passed upon- and there seems nothing mihevway of a final dis position ef .these two cases. The Hayes case was tried last Tuesday, the indictment having been brought more than a year ago. Ills conviction was made upon evidence showing dealings in blockade liquor about two years ago. Since that time the district attornej' offered evidence to show that Hayes had run off into Virginia with another man's wife. The defense, as stated, based its eafe upon the reputation of the defendant in the church and the splendid testimonials of church officers. Hayes is said to be anions? the wealthiest men of Surry county, being interested in farms, stores and orchards, as well as distill ing, the government says. His name in Surry, it is said, is fre quently mentioned in connection with the famous Virginia Aliens, andi while he has been generally Wlieved to have been blockading, officers had hard work getting evidence and still harder in get ting testimony against him. Other cases disposed of through sentences to the federal prison at Atlanta yesterday were: Spencer Sparks, N likes, year and a day. Pleas Seng rave Wilkes, one one year and a day. Hob Wilburn, Wilkes, one year and a day. Dud McKnight, Yadkin, one year and a day. Each was charged with and con victed of distilling.

LOCKE Democratic Candidate For Gov ernor Spoke ta the Shadow of the Vance Monument, Asheyille, June 8. Hon. Locke Craig, the nominee of the Demo cratic party for Governor of North Carolina, returned to the city from Raleigh on the Craig" special this morning at 10:30 o' clock, and on his arrrval was ac corded an enthusiastic ovation, hundreds of people taking part and evincing their approval and Mr. Craig's popularity byr shout and cheers. Mr. Craig was met at the station by a larg uum ber of people in automobiles and on foot,, including the public of ficials, of the city, county and United States. There was a large procession formed and the party- came to the square where Mr. Craig made a 9hort talk, after which he was .escorted to his home. The business hou-4 a!ong South Main, around the square and down Patton avenue were decorated with flags'and the city took on a gala appearance. Mr. Craig only spoke for a short time and it was evident that he was almost overcome with emo tion. First in the procession came an escort of mounted police, fol lowed by the sheriffs force, and behind them, the regimental band in the grtat truck of the Grove par company. Behind was the red truck of the fire department filled with firemen, in charge of Fire Chief Wood and then came an automobile in which were. Mr., and Mrs. .-Cjraig and Garland Thomasori. About 30 automobiles were tn the procession and car ried -the' citr officials, the federal officers, board of trade members. etc. Honor to i. pr'A-wvuon was t-mu.:,. th square by the shouting-of the hundreds that had gathered there t do "honor to the "future governf ., and' then Mr. Craig climbed on a fire truck where hi could be seta by all and re sponded to the demands for a speech Mr. Craig- declared that words could not express his appreciation of the high honor that had been conferred upon him in giving him the nomination for the high est honor in the gift of the pH ple of the state, and while it came from the whole state, he felt that he owed it to the peo ple of the west. It was more than a personal matter, he said. It luul been a third of a century since the honor had come to the trans-mountain portion of the state. He declared that it was his ambition and determination to Ih worthy of the confidence that the people hail shown that they had in bun. All knew his pol itics, he said. For 28 years he haul been an active partisan and had fought with many of the foremost Republicans in political battles, but he was glad to say that he had never been hit be low the belt He went on to say that if he should be elected to the governorship he would he the governor of the whole people, that he would be a citizen and not a politician; he was deter mined to be an executive of the people without regard to race, politics or creed. Mr. Craig told of coming here 29 years ago, when he said he only knew one man in Asheville and that one soon left; but now as he looked into the numberless faces of .those around him, he felt that he was richer than Van derbilt with all his millions. He declared! that in the shad ow of the monument of North Carolina's greatest sou his efforts w ould be coji rated to the up building of the state and the welfare of the people; that with the help of the people North Car olina would be known not as the Rip Van Winkle state but as the state of progress, in agricul ture, in manufacturing and in the boys ami girls thnt are grow ing UK In closing he again expressed appreciation for the evidences of the HHple's esteem and txprva ed the hpe tliat he might be worthy of it.
