Sensational Bubble Promptly Ex

, ligation .
(Special to The Star.)
Washinirton. Feb. 25. Recently
there appeared a somewhat sensa
tional article sent irom wBsningiuu
in a North Carolin'a newspaper re
vealing that certain federal office
holders in that state were to be re
moved from office on account of per-
nicious political activity on their part.
It was stated in this article that the
Information came hot from Director
Rogers. Naturally federal office hold
ers became a little nervous over the.
r. matter, .and politicians generally sat
up and. took notice,' they all won
. dered what crave offense had been
committed that 'Mr. Rogers should
thus serve notice that there ' was go
ing to be a decapitation. '
- This Eerisation was short lived, how
ever, for it must be understood that
Mr. Rogers had not made any 'such
- ruling, but that the story was writ
ten on" what an aggrieved candidate
for congress had said. It was based
upon complaints filed by C. L. Aber
nathy against a federal office holder
who had held the candidate for con
gress up to ridicule in a refreshingly
pertinent letter for Having claimed
special honors for himself because of
having been a guest at the Jackson
Day -dinner in Washington with two
thousand other good democrats. ,
Representative Samuel M. . Brinson,
of the Third North Carolina congres
sional district, was naturally much
concerned over the report that a demo
cratic federal office h-olderin his dis
trict was to be -turned out of office on
account of pernicious political activ
ity, and he forthwith sought an In-,
terview with Director Rogers. The re
sult of this conference was gratifying
and reassuring to ... the congressman,
for he came away with full knowledge
of the basis for the sensational story.
Furthermore he had It from Director
Rogers own lips that the published
statement was not .only unauthorized
but that it was without-foundation in
fact.. . .. " -" .
Mr. Brinson' Statement f
When asked about the matter, Mr.
Drinson said:
"Yes, I read the statement that Mil
-R. D. Johnson, supervisor of the census
of the Third district, ; is likely to be
reprimanded by the director of the
census, Mr. Rogers, and that Mr. .D.
M. Prince, assistant supervisor, would
hA.illuml.aail Kit fr" tlA "fn.f tVlSlt t Vl O
duties of the office have already ended.
'It seems that Mr. Johnson's off erfse
is his activity in the interest of Mr.
Gardner for governor, while Mr.
Prince's offense is the fact that . he
answered Mr. Abernathy's recent let
ter . addressed to him and the other
voters of the district, In which letter
Mr. Abernathy boasted that he was
an invited guest at the Jackson IDay
banquet here and was also an invited
guest at a private luncheon given by
Mr. A. W. McLean. He tells of . tlSese
invitations ajid of having met tniny
r,S ifce toff -'ifn of the. natlo,, atHJp
the oasis or this association witn inese'
big men, declares that he has r an in
creasing desire to come to congress.
As to Mr. Johnson's offense,' I never
knew .whom he favored for, governor
until I 'saw this recent statement in
the paper relative to chargeirragainst
him because of activity in that con
test. I am sure that he could not have
been very active or I would have heard
ofit. ;. ....; ' ' ; .- .. - '
Fine Bit of. Humor
"I have learned that Mr. C. L. Aber;.
nathy has. filed charges here agaiiist
Mr. Prince because he (Prince) an
swered this letter of Mr. Abernathy
and. made sport of his claims for con
gressional honors based on his asso
ciation here with some of the big men
of the nation at a banquet and
luncheon.
"Up here when we read Mr. Prince's
artiftle in the papers we regarded it as
fine humor, and ; expected, of course,
that Mr. Abernathy would hurry again
Into print his usual pastime and en
terprise but ; we did not think he
would rush to Washington and make
a vigorous effort to have Mr. Prince
turned out of office. . '
"Good sportsmanship would have
prompted him, to answer Mr. ' Prince
in kind or admit that Prince had him
beat at letter writing. ;
"Friends of, mine send me all o Mr.
Abernathy's literature, and I read the
letter which Mr. Prince answered. It
was amusing to us all up here because
we knew that two thousand ' tickets
were issued to the banquet and they
to those who paid six dollars, and
every ticket holder paid the six dol
lars or had.it paid, for him by some
friend. Of course, too, that splendid
gentleman, Mr.,' McLean, was sur
prised to learn that the courtesy he
extended Mr. Abernathy was being
used by him to eiploit himself politi
cally. " '
Will Be No Reprimand
"Mr. Johnson has not ' been repri
manded nor will Mr. Prince be dis
missed from office , until the office ex,
pires by operation of law. I am cure'
Mf. Abernathy, in his cooler moments.
after his campaign is over, will regret'
mat ne iook a course toward Mr.
Prince which; would have' been cruel
had it succeeded. ' ; 1
"Mr. Prince does not cringe, but has
the same manly qualities which dis
tinguished his son, the late Lieuten-
ane. Prince, "who fought.' bravely in
France and " then lost his life: in an
effort to . save a child from drowning
in Goldsboro -some months ago. Mr,
Abernathy's resentment, expressed in
unmanly ways, cannot, hurt men' like
R. D. Johnson and D. M. Prince."

Chapel Hill, Feb. 25. Speaking from
a platform from which his best speech
was as a member Tf a victorious Caro
lina football team in -1905, O. Max
Gardner tonight drew , repeated , ap
plause and cheers from students of
the University of North Carolina, who
crowded into Gerrard Hall to hear the
first of the gubernatorial candidates
to present the campaign issues to them.
' Brought to Chapel Hill by the stu
dents who, thought the campus cabinet,
have invited all the candidates, he will
be followed on March 5 by Cameron
Morrison and on March" 11 by Robert
N. Page. 'rf- , .
Invitation -has been extended : also
to. chairman 'Frank ,Binney, of the re
publican committee, to have republi
can candidates come.";''
Mr. Gardner's Platform -
"If I were to attempt . to write my
platform." said Mr. Gardner, "1 would
sum it up in this phrase:"
"Life and more abundant life for all
the people of North Carolina."
, To this .platform .he related th,r)rhV-
ieni of . edupation. public Vfaealtlk, .and
good roads; .all of, which, he saidon.
tributed to" more abundant and w male
some life for all the people.
"The most distressing' problem " in
North , Carolina," said Mr. Gardner.
"Is the illiterasy of her people. It Is
holding back this state in her ffght
for life. .-
"Russian passion called Bolshevism
is nothing IbTit : illiteracy set on fire,"
he said. "In North Carolina the com
pulsory school law and the six months
terms are leading 1 the people away
from illiteracy."' , .
On national issues Mr. Gardner came
squarely out .for "Drastic restriction
of all immigration for at least five
years; for the deportation and Jailing
of all those who, are tearing nat the
vtials of the nation's life, and for the
doctrine of Americanization to be
spread among all the people." V , '
Touching labor, Mr. Gardner said:
"This country cannot expand under
an autocracy of labor any more than
under an autocracy of wealth. The
righ'of both capital and labor to or
ganize should be. subject to lawpor the
autocracy of wealth will lead to des
potism and the autocracy of labor to
Bolshevism." .
