REPUBLICANS MAKE EFFORT TO INCREASE STRENGTH Special Effort- to Be Made to Defeat Senator Overman. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel ■Raleigh. June 26.—A determimed ef fort on the part of North Carolina Republicans to increase their strength in > the eastern section of the state is I seen in the- anno>nneement that Republican headquarters for thin dis trict will be opened in Raleigh Jniy Ist, jn addition to the State bead quarters, which will be . located in Greensboro, for the campaign for the United States Senate. , Johnson J. Hayes, of North Wilkesboro, at pres ent solicitor in the seventh district, member of the Republican national committee and Republican candidate for the Finitetl States Senate oppos ing Senator Lee S. Overman in the November flection, who has been in : Raleigh-for several. days, declined to comment on this angle of the' situa tion. but it is tacitly understood'that this is the ease. And although it is hardly ethical from a Democratic standpoint, some more outspoken Republican enthusi asts predict Senator Overman is by no means out of danger because he defeated Robert B. Reynolds in the June sth primary, because many who supported Reynolds ,jn the primary will in November support the Repub lican candidate for senator rather than vote for Overman- So there you are. And whether there is any fact as a foundation, the Republicans ■ are going to make it a strong talking ■ point in their campaign. They' have j not been slow to seize upon the slogan I broadcast by Reynolds in his cam j paign that “the people want a change” | and “this is a day when youth must 1 be given a hearing” in the affairs of the government. It may be that there are a number yho will Jake . serious heed.

The Uptight. / , ,Thq lovers of the sensational are being feasted on the unfortunate con dition that confronts Dr. Chappell, the suspended pastor of Central Methodist Church of Asheville. The world rejoices when a preach er gets entangled. It is cowardly. If the world cannot give a better ex cuse for being wicked than that of a * preacher becoming involved in a .scandal, it has founded its cause on I sand. The brave mid manly thing to |'do it to withhold'judgment, give the ; victim the benefit of a trial. J Kjmving Dr. Boyer as we do, we ' make bold to say that he is so honest . and fearless and just that he would refuse to defend a man if he thought ! him guilty. As long as Dr. Boyer re -1 gards Dr. Chapell asthe victim of an unfortunate and uncontrolnble ,cir i cumstnnce and that he is innocent of any wrong intentions, the public is I safe in withholding its condemnation. 1 USE PENNY COLUMN—IT PAYS
