COMMUNICATION * ? **. , ? *.**?? ?/#%* r, . Raleigh, N. O., January 21. ? On the' 17th Josiah W. Bailey, Raleigh attorney ?nd former Commissioner of Internal Revenue, gave the pub lic his reusona f?rf entering the ' gubernatorial contest according to j an announcement previously made. Announcing hia cahdidacy Mr. Bailey proposes eleven "major" principled hj| fenun (Aiding platform .declarations. In brief, . they are as fallows: 1. Relief of land from the tin Just burden of taxation now imposed upon it. ; 2. Fostering all , j that makes for progress and "the laying pf emphasis upon the moral and spiritual values. 3. The \jjr6aching and the prac tice of souhd economy, getting A dollar's worth of {ftiblic service for every dollar's worth of taxes paid. .4. To put an end to special fav oh? and special privileges. \ B. . To call the people t6 a renew ed devotion to law. 6. To draw 'the policy of the Commonwealth to the practical and pressing ^ demands of agriculture with- the establishment of just re wards for common toil, the en couragement of farm ownership, and the making of farm life more attractive. 7. To establish election and primary laws th*t will (end the powr er pt money an politfcs. 3. To' set the, trend of progress In North. Carolina more strongly in t^ie direction fit local self-govern ment. . ; ? y ^ 9. To renew the pemocratic par ty's' spirit by direct contact with its constituents, 10. To break down within the Democratic partyva "political ma. chine that seeks ^ power only to seyVe. itself,9' / , , n- -T.o ?yoke the unrelenting. sertion of the Will o^the people Sa. the way to public economy, jupt freight rates, ^ust. in .'.taxation and agricultural relief. . ? f ' Mr. Bailey does' not' T think" the ?*te Mac- progressed .politically.

A number lof Raleigh delegates to various conventions and conferences^ te Washington last week,, inciuding that of ^he Saloon League of America and the' meeting of the Democratic National Committee, gained the impression from contact with members ,of congress and leadi ers of political thought from prac tically every state- in the. Union, that neither gt, the major parties are going to nominate a candidate for president who is not in full sympathy with the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal constitution and legislation to make the same effec\ive. Nor will either the Democratic or' Re publican conventions adopt a plat form containing a "wet plank." The general itnpgession seems to be that prohibition is no longer an issue ; that the "dry" amendment' was rati fied in due form, in the regular' way, and must be 'upheld By all 1 patriotic citizens 'of the Republic, in the 'National Democratic Execu-j tive Committee meeting were Hon. A. W. McLean, one of the candi dates for Governor, and Miss Mjary Graham, his associate^ on the Committee. Other citizepS of the State were present as spectators. 1 For the first time in fifty-six years the committee decided, to hold the National convention in the city of New York and named June 24th as the date for the meeting. Chicago. San Francisco and St. Louis extend ed invitations for the convention, but New York won on the third ballot. A presidential preference poll of 91 of the 106 Democratic national committeemen present showed this result: William G. McAdoo, 52. John W W.

' Jerome Pushell, Brevard's Broad Street Department Store, is doing a nice steady business and they deserve the patronage of the people of Brevard. They are both young efficient -and progressive citi zens to be proud of. ? STOPS tHIS FOOLISHNESS j The first guy that says donation for booklets should be laughed out of existence. If you are in the boarding house of hotel business, spend your own money wisely by putting attractive ads^ in the proper southern papers advertising your business and insi dently the wonders of Transylvan ia. Have neat attractive post-cards or* two or four page folders printed about your own business where you know whether you get the benefit or not. Let the merchants and profes sional men and all other citizens who have contributed every year for booklets, etc., put the same amount into* the Chamber of Com merce It will amount to about fifteen hundred dollars a year, at least it the T?*t ten. The last and most successful year that the Brevard club ever had^ un der the ablf leadership of its Presl ^nt, S. |M. Macfie, over thirteen hundred dollars was deposited and spent for the good of Brevard, and besides this the special advertising committee raised many hundreds of dollars which was used in the old method of advertising. Raise this much money and pdt it into the Chamber of Commerce and m^ieh RTeater benefits will surely accrue according to our judgement. Bryan 1, Carter Glass 1. Twenty five delegates expressed no prefer ence.

A LETTER FROM P. C. NELSON. ' r 1133 E< Ash St<f Springfield, 111., Jan. 18. Dear ESflw: After our -meeting at Brevard we drove north through Washington, D. C., and held^ear next, campaign in Windser, Canada, a city of ' about 50,000. In November and December we held campaigns in Indianna, and re cently in Illinoip. Am now back in Springfield, 111.,., holding a meeting in a tabernacle. During the sum mer of 1922, we held a ten weeks campaign here in a tent. 150 feet long. It is a delightful experience to get back among old friends. It would do you g?od to hear scores of people joyfully testifying to their healing eighteen months ago in our meeting here. Shall probably be here some weeks and shall be glad to hear from Brevard friends. Our tent is still stored in Brevard, and if we ' do not sell it, I may ' come back there to get it. Would cer tainly be happy to renew acquaint ances there. ' My wife has been in Detroit some time helping to establish a faith home where people in need of spiritual or /physical healing can come and' remain a while for in struction, inspiration and prayer. Oui; M. A. Nelson left us in Septem ber to pursue his studies in Midland Bible Bchool, Shenandoah, Iowa, pre paratory to going as a Missionary to China. Our second son, who led singing and otherwise assisted in meeting8( the past two years, with his wife, , the pianist, recently set tled in Dearbon, Mich., a suberb of' Detroit, made famous by the resi dence of Henry Ford. We pray God's blessingB upon all the people of Brevard and Transylvania Coun ty. Most cordially, P. C. Nelson. REV. C. D..
