Earl HotaJen, Ku Klux Klan lecturer, spoke at the Brevard High School building Monday night to a crowd that almost filled the room, and throughout the two hours of his address, the speaker present ed reason after reason why the dem ocrats of the South should vote against Alfred E. Smith, cast their ballots for Herbert C. Hoover, and thereby save the democratic party from complete annihilation, which, the speaker averred, would result in the event of Smith's election. "The democrats, that is the Smith democrats or Smithocrats, are fighting me all over the state because I am the man who told the South about Tammany's connection with, and its control of, the negro vote," was one of the statements made by the speaker. "We demo crats can no longer throw up 'nig ger' to the republicans, as we once did, because we have gone into the negTO voting business ourselves," said Hotalen. The Klan speaker declared it to be his intention to return to this section as soon a? the campaign is over, and enter suit against E. W. Ewbanks, of Hendersonville, for charges which the speaker said had been made against him and which are utterly false, according to his assertion. j Reasons given by Mr. Hotalen 'for his outstanding campaign in op | position to Governor Smith, were First, because Smith is catering to [the negro vote; then Smith is for jeign in nature and by environment I to the true American ideals, and j furthermore he is a Catholic. Mr. Hotalen took these subjects one by one and used each as an argument against the election of Sntith for president. The Klan speaker addressed a packed house at Toxaway Saturday night, giving practically the same sneech as that delivered here. At the conclusion of his Toxaway speech Phil R. Whittakor, Chattanooga law yer, spoke for about thirty minutes in refutation to some of the state ? ments made by Hotalen. i Luptons Visited Here Mr. and Mrs. Carter I.upton left Monday for Chattanooga, after hav' ing spent several days at the Lup ton estate near Sapphire. The Lup tons have had as their house truest' Mr. and Mrs. Ed Finley and Phil R W'hitaker, of Chattnnooc.i, MRS. M'KEE DEFENDS!1 SMITH'S CANDIDACYi: ! j: I Mrs. E. L. McKee, of Sylva, state H j president of the United Daughters i ,of the Confederacy, and. recognized ins one of the most influential dem- i jOcratic women of the state, address ed the voters of Transylvania coun-,] ty at the court house Tuesday aft- j] ernoon, speaking under the auspices j' of the Transylvania County Women's I Democratic: Club. The president,) Mrs. Hugh R. Walker, presided over f the meeting, introducing Hon. W. i E. Breese, who in turn introduced the speaker of the afternoon. The majority of the audience listening attentively to Mrs. McKee's mes sage on the political issues of the day was composed of women. Mrs. McK.ee stressed party loyal ty, appealing to the women voters to be a democrat out and out and to cling to the principles of the party, declaring that she had no patience with the independent voter who contributed nothing to the strength of either party. She urged her hearers to think well before de serting the national democratic party, asserting that the "very mo ment the democratic party dies nationally, that moment it will begin to disintegrate locally." Tammany Hall was defended as the best friend of the southern dem ocrats, the speaker further asserting | that , "Tammany Hall's record is ;as clean and wholesome as the min ,utes of a literary society as com pared with the republican corruption t .of the past eight years in Washing- 1 I ton." It was deplored as a shame and an j I embarrassment that the religious I issue should be injected into a polit ical campaign in America. Mrs. Me. I Kee expressed the opinion that each I individual is entitled to his own re-| lligous faith through whatever doc ( trine that religion may be express ed. whether Catholic or Protestant. | Other political issues were dwelt upon, including tariff, immigration, ! fnrm relief and the race question, [Mrs. McKee pleading with the wo i men voters to support in the presi ijdentinl election the democratic nominee, Alfred E. Smith, whom .she termed, "The greatest living ! American." CARD OF THANKS ?

Mrs. Jim Zachnry and family. FELIX ALLEY SPEAKS TO LARGE CROWD Hon, Felix Alloy, Wuyni'svilly at torney and democratic orator, .spoke to a packed house at the court house Saturday night. W. K. Breese, county executive- chairman, presid ed at the meeting and announced previous to introducing the Speaker that ^reports had reached his organ- 1 ization that, the sheriff of the county had deputized several citizens fo'r i the alleged purpose of safeguarding I one I)r. Hotalen, Ku Klux Klan lee-] jturer, who was billed to speak in! the county. Chairman Breese said that such action was unnecessary' and that he as chairman woud pledge 1 j every member of the democratic executive committee of Trahsyjl ' ania county, and all the democrats of Transylvania county to 'keep the I peace and guarantee perfect safety to this fellow Hotalen while in the ? county, although he, Hotalen, is a | liar and a perjurer. Mr. Breese then introduced Mr. Alley as a great orator of the mouh- I 'ains for democracy, and for nearly I two hours the. man, who as a boy ; played over the hills surrounding ' Cashiers Valley, held the big crowd ' spell-bound, under his eloquent plea ? for democratic support in this na- i uonal campaign and election. Mr. Alley declared that he is a! Methodist and there are two things ; the bishops, the. elders and the I preachers in the 3Ietho.dist church ; cannot make him do, to wit, stop voting the democratic ticket and ' leave the Methodist, church. He-de-l1 clared that by all the powers that : cont:'>l his being that he was horn a democrat and a Methodist and vow- : cd by all he considered holy and ' pood that no human agency could'1 divert him from continuing to be a' democrat and a Methodist. |' 'I he orators showed by his powers ' of reasoning that it is necessary for the south to remain in the demo- 1 L'ratic ( olony, making prediction;' that once the democrats of the'! South break the rules and faith of ,1 their fathers that tremendous will be 1 the penalty that will be paid then 1 to the powers of privileges which ] has made the republican party the jreat party it is today.

T LEGION MAN SPEAKS FOR REPUBLICANS Allan Adams, Greensboro attor ney and American Legion officer, spoke in the county court house last Thursday evening, under the aus pices of the republican veterans or ganization. Mr. Adams was intro duced by D. f.. English, Brevard at torney, who issued a warning to the 'county election official that the people of Transylvania would not [stand for any unfair treatment at jthe hands of the registrars or elec tion officials. Mr. English charge*! [that some registrars had been taking [names written on scraps of paper in stead of having the books with them and placing the names of those pre senting themselves on the registra tion books according to law. ? lie introduced ' Mr. Adams as the first man in his community to volun teer in the recent war, and after the Armistice had been signed and Mr. Adams received his compensation check he gave it to the American Legion to be used for the wounded and pick veterans. The Greensboro lawyer won the admiration of alt people present when he stated that insofar as he was concerned he be lieved the veterans of the World War and their interests will be safe and safeguarded in Ithe hands of either Herbert Hoover or Alfred B. Smith. Mr. Adams said that some misrepresentations had been made about the republican administra tion's attitude toward the returned soldiers and scored Max Gardner for statement the candidate for govern or had made concerning treatment accorded the veterans. Mr. AdamB called attention to the fact that the democratic party was in power from the time the Armistice was signed on November }1, 1918 until March 4, 1921, and if the soldiers upon re turn to their native' land found any mistreatment awaiting them,' or lack Df interest among the powers .of tibe nation, then the democratic admin sration headed by Woodrow Wilson must be held responsible. He de nied,- however, in the name of the war president's memory, that the re' :umed soldiers met with the condi .ions that; had been described bj Wilson's own followers. Mr. Adams gave figures from the records in proof of his conviction .hat the republican administration . lad been faithful in the extreme to :he veterans of the World War, and lrged his comrades to return that party in power in the November :lection. i GRIL SCOUTS HOLD INTERESTING MEETING An interesting meeting of Laurel rroop Girl Scouts was held in the .Pri nary building Tuesday afternoon, October 16.

Miss Juanita Puette talked on the first two scouts laws* namely, a Girl Scout's honor is to be trusted and a Girl Scout is loyal.
