7 gjl FORECASTS LIVELY SEASON IN STATE POLITICS ocratic Executive Commit tee To Make Arrangements March 2 (Special to The Star.). Raleigh. Feb. 13. The ealTof Chair 0 Thomas D. "Warren for ; the meet- of the democratic; state executive cornmittee to meet here on March 2, NORTH CAROLINA'S THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 14 loon 7 THREE LOSSES DURING WAR WERE QUITE HEAVY GOVERNOR BIGKETT APPEALS DIRECTLY . FOR MORE NURSES This State Ranked Third Among (Wants Them To Register For Southern States East Of The Mississippi marks to be the beginning of what promises one of the most active political vears in me mowij cue state. This meeting of the committee will decide on the dates for ; calling the precinct meetings and the county con tentions. It will &iso Issue the call for the state convention, which will robably be held in April. - At this convention the platform of the party in North Carolina will be j-fted and plans made f or' the con test in the state. While the past year j,aS been one ui tuucmoiaoie political activity on the part of the democratic party, leading democrats do , not be lieve there is any danger in the pres-, ent situation in fact all., the acts of ttie democratic legislature, it is be lieved, will meet with the "general ap proval of the voters of the state. Even he revaluation act, it is believed,- will jelp rather than hurt the party's in terest this year. The work of revalua tion will he so well under way be fore that time that it will be possible to give some very definite Idea of the total values in the .state. ,i a With three candidates lny the "field for governor, and the nomination scheduled two months after the sug gested date for the democratic con vention there is little the democrats can do to effect the contest in the narty for the nomination., It is . ex pected that there will be a lively in terest in the adoption of a plank in the democratic platform for woman suffrage, which, it is said, will be again called to the attention of the legisla ture in special session in July. Likewise the national situation in the democratic nomination for the presidency presents an interesting sit uation. The old line democrats will be at the convention for the purpose of seeing that their candidate or the candidate accepted by the majority of what are known as the administration democrats William' Gibbs -. McAdoo gets the endorsement of the state con vention. Likewise - there will be a lively contest for- Herbert" Hoqver if the present mind of certain other dem ocrats is not changed before the con vention. Some of those interested in the Hoover candidacy have a reputa tion for scrappers, and unless the for mer food administrator does some thing between now and the date of the convention to queer himself, these democrats will be ready to fight for him.

(Special to The Star) - , Raleigh, Feb. ,13. In an "effort to secure' nurses for duty in those com munities in the states ' which' are in sore need : because '.. of influenza, Gov ernor Bickett 1 today sent - the ollow" ing letterto the eight hundred regis tered nurses of North Carolina: , "Influenza and its attendant, pneu monia, which last fall killed nearly fifteen thousand North Carolinians, isl again abroad in the state. ; Perilous Community Needs "In , many communities medical and nursing service is inadequate to meet the needs of the emergency thus pro duced. ' Id? some communities medical and nursing service is wholly lack ing. , There . are sections where entire families in a1 neighborhood are stricken down And lie sick unto death with out even those ordinary attentions for their comfort and welfare that kindly neighbors might administer. "Along with these perilous commun ity needs there must be hundreds of trained nurses in the state now en gaged in attending private cases. Be tween the convenience and safety of Individual families and the peril of stricken communities the sense of duty of private nurses must be very uncer tain and most, disturbing ,. to their peace of nind. Many nurses with private cases, under .existing circum stances perhaps would gladly, leave to their state the ' responsibility of determining their place of duty. State Will Determine "I am, therefore, in the public in terest, and with the difficult position of the private nurse in mind, writing to make this request of .you, t iat if you are now engaged in private nurs ing ,you fill out' and t mail to me the inclosed form, which, as you will ob serve, leaves the determination of your plan of service in the present emer gency not to yourself, but to. the state, and relieves you of all responsibility. "The probabilities are that not more than fifty nurses from among all of the nurses engaged In the state, will be called, a relatively small percen tage of the total nurses at: work. "In this emergency - when our peo ple cry out for help no private duty should stand in the way. This is no time for any individual or family to' retain a nurse for private duty when her services, can be so much more valuable, nor is It the time for any nurse to remain on such private duty when she can possibly be spared. Relieved of Responsibility "If there- is any question In the mind of a nurse as to which is the more important, her uty to her pri vate patient or her duty to the whole people, I urge her to present Ithe case to me and absolve herself of the re sponsibility . of deciding.! ; " , The nurses are asked to volunteer their services oh the" basis of five dol lars "per- day -And expenses for' .their services.' and to furnish the following Information: ... ' Name ' and address, nature of pres ent duty, .name and address of patient and - attending physician, number. of sick in family attended, number .of well persons, in family of patient, na ture, of illness.
