CLIFFORD FRAZiER
TO HOLD TO OWN
N. C. DRY PLATFORM
(Continued from Page Ona)
never before realized the power of a
prejudiced press. When the wet advo
cates came before the committee
there was an almost constant flash
ing of lights and clicking of cameras.
Numerous newspaper correspondents
eagerly took down each word that
the speaker uttered and scrambled
for his sjwiuscript. Dr. Nick (Mira
eulousM^Mer was the center of at
tention, made a poor speech.
However, when those opposing the
repeal of the 18th amendment began
t<v spoak the photographers had gone
and only a few of the newspaper cor
respondents remained. The whole at
mosphere was charged with wet sen
timent, and this manifested itself on
the floor of the convention to such
an extent that Mr. Garfield was
scarcely able to finish reading the
platform.
"One of the best speeches made be
fore our committee was by Mrs.
Henry W. Peabody, who, in a plain,
motherly style, presented the views of
12,000.000 federated church and club
women. She was an inspiration to
the dry members of the committee,
but she made little impression upon
the members of the wet press and
the wet forces who had assembled in
the committee room.
"When the committee went into
executive session it was decided that
a subcommittee of 15 should prepare
a tentative draft of the platform. I
was not on this subcommittee, and in
order that the subcommittee might
have before it a 'bone dry' plank I
prepared and filed with the secretary
a plank pledging the party to the
continued enforcement of the 18th
pmendment to the federal constitu- '
tion. This produced considerable dis
et:rsi'-:\ but I was supported by the
representatives from Tennessee, Vir
ginia, Idaho and other states. I

raittee made its report the wet ele
ment was thoroughly dissatistield
with the prohibition plank. This
[precipitated a heated argument ir.
: the committee, but finally the Bing
ham amendment (which was for
straight repeal) was defeated. The
compromise plank as set out in the
platform and later adopted by the
convention was adopted by the com
1 mittee. However, there were many
dissenting views both from the 'ex
treme wets' and the drys. The plank
adopted by the convention was clear
ly a compromise. I did not vote for
it and I expect to stand upon the
platform adopted by the Republican
party at the state convention in Char
lotte last April.
"The southern Democrats who may
go as delegates to the Chicago con
vention have my sympathy, for al
though the Republican fight on the
prohibition issue was intense, it will
be mild when compared with the
struggle that will be waged in the
Democratic national convention, for
I do not believe that the southern
delegates will submit to the domi
nance of the northern wing of the
party."
The State Democratic Plank
Mr. Frazier confessed that he had
read with interest "the 'miracle
plank' on prohibition adopted by the
Democratic party at Raleigh Thurs
day." He said that "the Republican
party in North Carolina has express
ed itself clearly and definitely on the
prohibition issue, but the Democratic
party has adopted a plank that seems
to mean 'wet to the wets' and 'dry
to the drys.'
"I also observe that Mr. Fountain
has entered the second primary, but
that's another story. I always
thought that Mr. Maxwell would
have been the Democratic nominee,
for he was the only one who had
any definite or constructive platform.
All this simply shows that I know
; little or nothing about politics."
Mr. Frazier feels that it is "very
unfortunate that the prohibition is
sue is to receive so much attention
during the coming election when
here are so many difficult economic
moblems that call for prompt solu
tion."
In the Sherman hotel in Chicago
Mr. Frazier met Will Rogers. "I told
him that I enjoyed reading some of
his articles," said the Republican
nominee for governor. "To my sur- 1
irise he blushed like a boy. I was |
unable tp understand why he did so j
until I went out a few minutes later |
and found that three gunmen had
been shot, and perhaps Will's meet
ing a stranger made him a little
nervous. I also had the pleasure of
meeting Mr. Darling (Ding), who
served on the resolutions and plat
form committee. It was interesting to
watch him as he sketched the various
speakers."

'DEMOCRATIC PARTY
SWINGS INTO LINE
IN SECOND PRIMARY
(Continued from page one)
DoLaney, his manager, said practi
cally ail of his real friends were urg
ing him to run again, and ulterior
motives were assigned to those who I
advised him not to enter. Friends of !
| Mr. Fountain claim that the confer- j
| ence was "stacked" only with those '
! wishing him to run, and many who J
I had his real interest at heart were
! not called in to confer, but that nuiu
I bers of these had advised him not
to call for a second primary. Mr.
Fountain, ir. hi3 statement, places
; the responsibility for hi? second race
jen advice of his friends.
Mr. Fountain also issued a state
| ment expressing satisfaction at the
> platform adopted by the State Dem
j ocratic Convention, which heartily
endorsed the Gardner administration,
as much so that politicians were won
dering how Mr. Fountain, whose cam
paign was based in part on attacking
he administration, would find toe
hold on that foundation. But he found
satisfaction in some of the planks
and predicted that he would be able
to change others to conform more
nearly with his expressed views.
Mr. Ehringhaus, meanwhile, points
out that the platform utterances of
the record of the administration
I achievements, words which Mr. Foun
| lain took occasion several times to
criticise in his campaign speeches. If
Mr. Fountain can find satisfaction
in that, it is satisfactory with the
Ehringhaus camp.
The Ehringhaus headquarters,
which was getting its wind and wait
ing for Mr. Fountain's decision, again j
sprang into action, Major L. P. Mc- '
London saying his organization will : '
function right down to the precinct1;
more efficiently even than it did on 1
June 4. He predicts a 100,000 majori- '
ty July 2.
Many claim a two-to-one or even |
greater victory for Mr. Ehringhaus, ,
basing the belief on the big lead and <
continued activity of the Ehringhaus
forces. Much of the Fountain i (
strength was early promises and i ,
"band wagon" seekers, it is contend- 1 .
cd. He will be able to get only a small {
Dcrcentage of the vote given A. J. i ,
Maxwell in the first primary, but i j
will lose much of his former support. ! .
the observation being made that his [ j
forces started upon a rapid disinte- j
gration immediately after the first ] j
primary, which was aided by the time ?
Mr. Fountain took in announcing the! ,
second race. The Senatorial race may
modify or influence the voting in the
gubernatorial contest, however.
While neither the Morrison "dry"
or Reynolds "wet" following raised
no special objection to the mildly dry ,
plank in the platform, which recog
nized the right to vote on all ques
tions, the "drys" are taking comfort ,
in the vote on the re-submission sub
stitute, defeated by about 1762 to
511 (the count was not completed.) !
The three-to-one vote may not be
taken as a direct wet and dry vote, |
but it is held to show that the State !
is not yet ready to vote wet. The wet j
and dry sentiment will be more clear
ly drawn in the Morrison-Reynolds
vcte in the next primary.
The commissioner or labor race '
will be in the background. How the i
votes of the five other candidates j
will split between Fletcher and Mit- j
chell is uncertain. Fletcher is expect- !
ed to get the American Legion vote
largely, and Mitchell, a former labor
union man and now operating a union
printing plant, is expected bo get the
bulk of the labor vote, which went in
the first primary to R. R. Lawrence,
president of the State Federation of
Labor, who was eliminated.
Unfair Freight Rates
Citing higher freight rates between
Carolina cities and Virginia cities
than between middlo western cities
and Virginia cities, the state corpor
ation commission has filed a brief
with the U. S. interstate commerce
commission asking a general revis
ion in southern rates.
