oning^ party leader*, supplements u
by eome hundreds of followers, era
hare today to launch the great
"spring dnvs" whoae momentum will
gather force sufficient to drive the
rampant Republicans from their en
trenchments, originally eo strong
but recently impaired through a
lukawarmacaa toward education, an
attitude of aioofneaa an reganla
public health work ant1, downngkt
antagonism to form demonstration
It was a right sprightly gathering
that crowded into the auditorium
about duin<r tune today, and when
Chairman Clarence J. Smith, the
hefty Dunn lawyer, who heads the
Democratic executive committee,
called the meeting to order It eras
evident that those present, were here
for motive* prompted, by something
more than curiosity. There was an
air of determination about that
crowd that argue* not at all well
for Rpublican hopes, and if the plans
outlined in that meeting do not re
sult in bringing Harnett hack into
the Democralh. fold there") be a lot
of uismppointed Democrats down here
neat November.
i olitica always looms large down
here among the "Cod Blessed Mace*
of Harnett. It’s a big thing in their
life- And this year more than av
erage interest Is occasioned through
the largo pari Harnett is likely to
play in State and district politics.
Tha county ha* two favorite sans,
twins, so to speak, who aspire to rep
resent the “Sixth" in Congress -
Hannibal LaFayett* Godwin, present
incumbent, and Ernest F Y"“"g
rha race between those two is going
to be a warn proposition; and to
make things still liveli*r Georg* K
Grantham, a Dunn druggist, sever
al times 'president of tha Carols
pill roller* organisation, may enter]
the lists for Stats Treasurer. These
seat to a campaign in which is to ha
set to a campaign in which is to be
decided tha fate of Harnett Demo,
cracy.
Dan Hugh McLean, the old war
horse of Carolina Democracy, sound
ed tho keynote in today's masting
and the Hon. Dan Hugh is some
“ksytsoter." He said Harnett was a
Democratic county: that Republi
cans had no legal or moral right to
hold office in it. “Through dissatis
faction,'' said ht, "occasioned by toe
cattle tick, dog and other laws and
eastern Harnett’s new county engi
neering, many Democrats stayed
■way from the poles, while every
Republican lived up to his reputation
of voting at least once." He ad
moniahed the gathering that Harnett
must be guided by the maxim of
Caesar that "An army of sheep led
by a lion waa much better than an
array of lions led by a sheep" and
choose men of energy, ability and
Intelligence to lead It out from the
blight of radicalism.
Mr. McLean was tumultously ap
plauded and Chairman Smith eras
moved to remark that bad the same
degree of enthusiasm bean manifest
ed In the meeting two years ago so
large a meeting would not be neces
sary now. Ha said the defeat had
already resulted in good to the per
ty, because It brought all the fic
tions together for the big battle be
fore them. Fearing that some blame
for defeet might be laid at hie door,
Mr. Smith offered hit resignation.
A resolution was offered, however,
protesting against Its acceptance.
After a general “experience” meet
Ing in which many axpnres.'ed deter
mination to redeem the county, tbs
committee went into executive ees
ilon.
Late In the afternoon the masting
doted with the spirit of harmony
prevailing the Democratic atmos
phere throughout the county. For
gotten are the stock laws, the dog
laws, the new county proposition
gone are afl the things which work
to the detriment of unity—gone la
every doubt that Harnett can coma
back. Republicanism is scheduled to
loae the territory taken by surprise

KALEJUH NEWS LETTER
Raleigh, March 7^-The odor of
the federal pic-eounteT dominated, the
Republican State Coavention, aa us
ual.
The election of a national commit
lroman war the paramount issue be
fore the convention chiefly because
of the official's Influence and power
with the no Oonai administration in
dictating who shell receive the office-,
and other federal jobs apportioned
to North Carolina.
The defral of Col. Duncan was
largely due to dissatisfaction, especi
ally among Lke "Roosevelt Rrpubli
cans" who controlled the convention
with the "autocratic manner" In
which he la allcdged to have dispeut
•d that patronage in lh» past. 1
lenow this because some of the most
prominent and active delegatee or
‘.hr floor of the corvenion told me
sa.
The election .« Mr. Morchcad to
the position after he had. prates,,
that he was not a candidate and "un
der the circumstances could not ae
cept it." was partly due to the art
dent fact that he was badly needed
to insure the defeat of Dunean. A
lea# formidable opponent might have
failed in tha consummation of the
plan.
otanon Butler of Washington, D
C, lad tha fight on Duncan and wm
the moat conspicuous of all those in
the lima light of the fight, lie dc
livered several speeches, but they
were devoid of oratorical force -al
though he grew very rad in the face
while dellvenag theta.
He receive! severs! orations, when
he appeared in the hall and demon
stratively marched up the aisle and
upon the platform—always at oppor
tune times.. But the trbates of ap
plause were for the Political Pox and
not to an eloquent and high-minded,
statesman. To that extent the con
vention was. indeed, very mock "But
lerlxed. but it is the opinion of many
that the Republican vola in North
Carolina this year will not be In
creased. if it is not seriously dimin
ished. by these latest amours of the
old Elephant with "Maryann."
Morehcsd and Butler.
“ TTMmugh-it*.* ..sis nipsab
cans” were chiefly responsible for
the unhorsing of Duncan the roan
they elected to succeed, him has no.
been alignod with that clement ■>.’
the party in the paal. Mr. Morehrr I
may line up with them in futur<
(and he may not), but he wan not
a Roosevelt roan four years ago and
has recently barn identified, more
closely with the Duncan than with
the Uutler wing of his parly.
While Butler succeeded in venting
hia personal spleen on Duncan it
does not neesiarily follow that he
will be ablo to exercise unbounded
influence with the new national com
mitteeman in dispensing federal pat
ronage in future. At present there*
none to dispense and will not be un
til they sleet another Republican
President, a very uncertain contin
gency at present.
Koaarvett Republicans as Delegate*
Of th* four delegate• to the na
tional convention at Chicago elected
Judge W. S- O'B. Robinson of Wayr.
and. J. T. Lewis of Randolph, ha
been strong admirers and supporters
of Roosevelt. Ex-Congressman Set
tie has (since th* last election, whrn
hs held a government position and
yielded loyalty to Taft) become iden
tified with the “Rooeovolt Republi
cans" or so-called Progressive*. Con
gressman Britt was not definitely
placed by th* delegates whom I quer
tinned on the subject.
N# Gubernatorial Nominee.
It Is a significant fact that the
convention failed to “endorse” a can
didate for gevwmor to be voted for
In th* June primary.
When the convention assembled,
and up to eleven o'clock that night
It was the understanding among the
delegates that a candidate for gov
ernor would be “endorsed" by th'
convention.
Rom* of the speakers were loud
mouthed in their elalms that the Re
publicans would this year capture
both th* Rtat* and National govern
ments. Their subsequent conduct
furnished striking proof that they
did not believe what they said—a •
far ae th* State government ie con
cerned.
If any of them really cherished
such an aspiration tbs Injection of
Butler Into the management of the
campaign teems likely to cut the
string to the kite—that barrier of
