Brunswick Man Talked Poli
tics to an Appreciative Au
dience Last Night,
WAS INTRODUCED 1
BY MAJOR UTTLE
Chairman Cashwell Presided
Over Meeting -L. Clayton,
Grant Responded to Call
of Audience.
Declaring that Democracy has seen
(ho downfall of two great' parties since
the time of Thomas Jefferson unA
adding that unless the signs failed it i
vould soon witness a third such spec
tacle. Democratic Senatorial nominee,
E. H. Cranmer, Esq.,. of Southport,
talked "politics," last night to a hand
ful that assembled aX the Winter Park
school building; - The "attendance was
not what it should have' been, but the
redoubtable Teddy was never given
closer attention or more warmly ap
plauded. What the Brunswick man
lacked in oratory was more than coun
terbalanced by his sensible utterances
and few realized that he had been
talking almost an hour when he left
off. . V
Mr. Cranmer discussed political . is
sues both State and National, but he
dwelt longer on the latter. . It was ev:
ident from the start that he is more
concerned over the return of the Dem
ocratic administration to power than
he is over the outcome of his own elec
tion. The Brunswick man traced govern
ment from its infancy to the present
time, showing how marvelous has been
its progress. He even went back be
fore government was known and then
he told his audience of the tribal-form
of government that .once existed and
touched lightly on the Monarchial and
Aristocratic forms 'that have existed,
but the greater part of the evening
Avas spent in talking Democratic. gov
ernment. ' . " " -
Mr. Cranmer had quite a bit to say
regarding the four panics this coun
try has experienced during the past 40
years and he pointed out that these
panics always "happened" in the fall
of the jyear; and that they were al
ways money1 panics. He declared
these panics were caused by Republi
cans who-held the purse strings and
brought them about political purposes
But the iaugucatipn, ot-the regional
bank system 'hits forever eliminated
similar panics, according to Mr. Cran
mer. The big New York banking
houses can call in their money now,
but no panics ensue because the coun
try is no longer dependent on this
money, but can secure all necessary
funds from the regional banks, ac
cording to the speaker. And not sat
isfied with this he made it plain that
a Democratic administration inaugur
ated the regional banking system.
He held up ttie Federal Reserve
Banking System as one of the greatest
pieces of legislation that has been en
acted during the past 100 years and he
told his already 'enlightened listeners
that this was more Democratic legis
lation. Among the many things he
pointed out that stood in favor of the
present administration was included
the Federal System j)f Rural Credits.
Mr. Cranmer thought it very unusu
al that the Republicans should come
forward with -.the cry of "give us the
reigns of government apd we will do
something," when they had failed to
do anything worth while during the
many years the party was in power.
"They belittle Mr. Wilson's Mexican
policy," said the speaker, "but how
many New Hanovermothers have sent
their sons into Mexico and are now
moruning the ldss of their first bron?"
He was of the opinion that Mr. Wil
eon had handled the Mexican situa
tion in an admirable manner as he
had handled ajl other matters that
have come before him for considera
tion. The speaker showed what wonderful
progress has been made in this . State
during the past sixteen years under
a Democratic administration. He told
his audience how Charles B. Aycock
had labored for education and how
his dream of school houses dotting the
whole State had been realized,
and he told of the alcoholic situation
faced by Robert B. Glenn, when he
became governor of this State;, of his
fight against it and of the great vic
tory that followed. Mr. Cranmer told
of how the State was ehackled and
fettered with the demon rum and of
the 50,000 majority piled up against
it under a Democratic governor, and
he declared that W. W. Kitchen kept
the wheels of progress moving when
he succeeded Mr. Glenn. The speak
er referred to Locke Craig as the
"Good Roads" Governor and told of
what lasting benefit the State's good
roads have been to the farmer. Go
ing in advance of the present, he de
clared that Governor-to-be Bickett
will look after the interest of the
small home owner. Mr. Bickett will
be known as the "Agriculturist" gov
ernor, according to Mr. Cranmer.
In discussing the hue and cry of the
Republicans that the present wave of
prosperity that is sweeping the na
tion is only temporary, Mr. Frank A.
Vanderlip, of New York, was quoted
as saying that "the only danger is
that we may be submerged in our own
prosperity." Vanderlip, according to
th r, ,
Democrat, yet he is willing to admit
he is willing to aanui

b?uVomvplaces. A few ofthe
cigar stores or counters nave a "few
boxes of the smaller size, but future
shipments "are uncertain.
The' United Cigar Company's local
' ff
branch Has been buying little Prefer-
encias frov the Orton stand for some
time and 4he'vCe)iter; Lunch counter's
stock of the smaller sized Preferen
cia was depleted some time ago. The
manager of this establishment told
patrons yesterday that it was impos
sible to secure shipments of this
cigar at present." ; "
Manager Willis Boddie, of the Or
ton Cigarr8tand, has a few hundred
of the smaller Preferencias,-but ex
perienced some difficulty in getting
his last shipment.- It was made after
his regular order -had been filled and
arrived several, days late.
The United cigar Company buys di
rect from the factory and this in a
measure explains why this company
is unable to supply its branches.' The
Orton stand buy from the Cliff Weil
Cigar Company, bf Richmond, Va.,
and is still able to have all orders
filled because the Cliff Weil Company
in all probability, was carrying a full
stock when labor trouble developed
at the Preferencia factory. Other re
tail dealers who buy from Richmond
concerns or others carrying heavy
stocks will probably not experience
any inconvenience.
The Preferencia is manufactured
by the American Cigar Company, of
New York, as fs the El Principe de
Gales and the Nurica. The three are
about the most popular; cigars on the
market today attdVifcontlitflSis should
become such as to take7 these cigars
from the market the smoking pub
lic would feel ' their labsence keenly.
At present all cigar stands seem to
be well supplied with Principe de
Gales and Nuricas and it is possible
that the trouble Un the Preferencia
factories wfll'not aJEfeSt the other
brands mentioned. ..- .
the country is enjoying unheard of
Prosperity. ''This," said Mr. Cran
mer, 'i trangefy different from the
utterances of the Republican nominee
for the presidency."
Pointing out the constructive legis
lation that has been enacted during
the Democratic regime and citing "this
as the reason why this party should
be returned to power the speaker
wanted to know what Mr. Hughes had
done that showed presidential timber.
Mr. Cranmer admitted that he con
ducted an insurance investigation in
New York with apparent wonderful
success and then spoiled this achieve
ment by reading abstracts from Re
publican papers to the effect that Mr.
Hughes did not' know what he was do
ing half of the time he was question
ing witnesses. He quoted the New
York Sun as saying that Mr. Hughes
had failed to measure up to the stand
ards thai he had been weighed in the
balance and found wanting.
In the absence of President W. A.
McGfrt, Chairman C. C. Cashwell, of
the County Democratic Executive
Committee, presided over the meet
ing. Mr. Cashwell called attention to
the fact that the registration books
opened yesterday and he urged his
audience to not only register, but to
see that all the neighbors registered.
He noted that last night's meeting
was the third held in New Hanover
this year in behalf of Democracy and
pointed out that the primary object
of these meetings was to give Democ
racy a 3,000 majority or better in New
Hanover in the coming election.
Mr. Cranmer was presented by
Maj. Joseph W. Little, who expressed
his appreciation of the honor bestow
ed upon him and told how glad he was
to be present. Major Little declared
that the time was fast approaching
when Democracy would be put to its
test; when the voters of the country
would, be called upon to register their
approval or disapproval of the Demo
cratic administration. He said that
the State is just closing 16 years' of
Democratic rule and added that the
party's record, was an open bqok. Ma
jor Little declared that Mr. Cranmer
was not In New Hanover to stimulate
interest in Democracy, "for New Han
over is rock-ribbed in Democracy
now," he added. He paid a high trib
ute to Mr. Wilson and the present ad
ministration and extended ' a warm
welcome to the next senator from the
Tenth District. "
The crowd wanted to hear L. Clay
ton Grant, EsqJ, and he was obliged
to respond to the many calls for
"Grant! Grant!!" Mr. Grant dwelt at
length on the. Regional Bank System,
that has been established by the pres
ent administration, and explained the
workings of these banks in an able
manner. Those preesnt who did not
thoroughly understand what regional
banks are, left the school house bet
ter Democrats, " for it was Impossible
to doubt the sincerity of the Rarty
when Mr. Grant left off speaking.

gattott recently appeared before' the
L Board of Education and asked that
the school facilities at Winter Park
be bettered and action was promised
at the next meeting, which will be
held Monday afternoon. Winter Park
will-be well represented at the meet
ing and the addition of an extra teach
er will be strongly urged.
Patrons of the Winter Park school
are convinced that, the school enroll
ment is far too large for the present
corps o f teachers and believe that if,
an additional teacher is added the
situation will be bettered to a remark
able extent.
At present 122 children are attend
ing classes at the school and three
teachers, all ladies, are endeavoring
to teach the mthe rudiments of edu
cation. Fifty children, embracing the
third, fourth and fifth grades, are
being taught in one room by a single
teacher and the school's patrons are
satisfied that the desired results can
not be obtained under such condi
tions. It is necessary for the third
and fourth grade pupils to have study
hours while the third grade scholars
are haying classes and it is almost an
impossibility for a child to apply her
self or himself when another class is
reciting lessons orally in the same
room,., according to gentlemen who
have children attending the Winter
Park school.
Residents of that section are just-
,iy proud of their school building and
are confident that if a sufficient num
ber of teachers are employed condi
tions would not be surpassed in the
city's school. They are of the opin
ion that they are -entitled to better
facilities because of the tax rate they
pay and they look upon Winter Park
as a suburb of the city and feel that
they are entitled to almost as much
consideration as the patrons of the
city school. This matter will come
up for.-discussion at Monday's meet
ing of the board and will, in all prob
ability, be -threshed out at that time
and the matter adjusted suitably to
all.
