THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. VOL. XLVI RALEIGH LETTER j vV •.. • Special Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 28.—Ad ditional evidence & disclosed here of the intention of negroes to figure more actively ,in the elec tion in North Carolina this year than in many years. At a meet ing of the negro Republican ex ecutive committee held here a few days ago the membership of the committee was increased from fifteen to thirty-five, and an ad , dress was prepared to be issued to the negroes of the State "calling on them.to .stand by the Republi can national ttcket." Of course the committee will expect them 10 "support" the Re publican State ticket also. The new chairman of the negro Republican committee, S. H. Vick, is an old negro Federal office holder, having held a position as postmaster of a town In this State, with a good, salary attached, for twelve years. • With the election of Harding, Vick and iqany others would naturally expect to get their snodte into the Federal political meal tub again. Outlook Continues to Improve. Mr. M, L. Shipman, who has just returned from a tour that took him over the Tenth Congres sional District and- into several towns and counties, in other wdst ern districts, brings tiding of much joy 'about the prospects of Democratic, success in those dis tricts. He says the party is lin ing up in ggeat shape, and«that if the Republicans really believe they will be able to carry either of those districts they are head ed for a rough job of disappoint ment. Mr. Morrison, who reluctantly canceled two appointments .last Friday and Saturday because o* the terrible Weather in Ashe pud Watauga couUties, will open hit western campaign at Spdrta tod and carry thtougta the other ap-* pointments of his itinerary as heretofore announced. Lieutenant-Governor Gardner and Congressman Clyde Hoey are shelling the woodsln that sect Leu also. Secretary Daniels will & heard at Ashevllle Wednesday night, * Rutherfordton Thursday . morning, Gastonia Thursday night, Reldsville Friday, 2 p. m., and Greensboro Friday, 8 p. m , of this week- Robert N. Page, one of the unsuccessful candidates for the gubernatorial nomination, Is also on the hustings putting In some good licks for Morrifton and I the State ticket. These speakers and othefr can vassers find all apathy (if it ever , really existed) ■ has disappeared among Democrats, and that we are all not only one In heart and harid for the' whole State ticket, but there is a growing admiration for our presidential nominee among thp voters all over North Carolina. Dependable reports frrni oi her States concerning the fine and growing popularity and chances of Mr. Cox are most re assuring. Why Labor Waste OenoeraUc Ctn , I"* On the night of November 2d. after he has gaffed his figurehead "opponent Into submission, you . will hear the victorious crow of the Democratic chanticleer give voice to that Coxenre campaign prediction all over the United States. The Republican Cam paign manipulators cannot bay the votes of a majority of the Morrison people. The prospects of electing a Democratic Congress are equally good. One thing that is going to contribute to the latter result, according to prominent organised labor men here, is the demand now being accentuated for congressmen who will actively help to reform the immigration laws of the country by enacting legislation that will restrict it so that the offscourings of the old world shall not be dumped upon us as is now done to the injury of American industries and Ameri can workmen, and still farther congesting the housing problem. Official calculations just an- nouneed State that more immi grants -are landing in the United State* this year thai* ever before in the hfttofy of the oountr. From 75 to 90 percent of them re fuse to go to agricultural States, where their labor could be uti lised, but iobistonequattingdowu in the big cities and industrial centers, where, with the anarch istic sympathies of many of them, they augment the gangs that breed anarchistic crimes against free America that would undermine the institutions of the United States Government. The labor people, who are pro ceeding with their political ac tivities on a non-partisan basts this year, are nearly all —from Gompers, president of the Federa tion of Labor, down—supporting the Democratic nations* and ty most States the Democratic State tickets, especially lit the congres sional districts, because, after thorough trying oat of candidates? they find the better friends or Labor and tne iMoee they arc in terested itt most are Democrats. In many districts Labor has been the deciding factor in the pri maries and a score and more of unfriendly congressmen have been defeated for renomlnatlon on that account. Importance of Tax Amendment. There is nothing more Import-, ant in the State campaign than the adoption of the income tax amendment as submitted by the legislature to the people. Re valuation has prepared the. way and the people have responded well to the call for honest valua tions. But it Is now Imperative that tAie income tax amendment shall be adopted if the program started in the 1920 assessment is to be carried oak. It is to the of the property holder as well as to the workingman that I this amendment be adopted. With the proper exemption, the income tax entended te the so-called un earned incomes will relieve the property owner of that much prop erty tax for State purposes. Then men who did not earn their own Wealth and'who possess it simjiy because of wise investment on Hie part of their fathers or-other :mi cestors now pay no income t tx. iu North Carolina. But they wo;.ld have to do so with this proposed amendment adopted, and propor tionately lower other people's taxes. Although the Republican mem bers of the legislature favored this amendment, the Republican caodidate for Governor, Parker, Is represented as having avoided saying anything in its favor dur ing his recent campaign in the western counties, • Tobacco Association. The tobacco growers havf form ed a State organization that prom ises to become effective in regu lating the crop and prices here after.
