VOL. XLVIII
SVANS DEFEATS
HINSDALE FOR SOLICITOR
f
Farmers' and Farm Women's Con
ventions in August.
(By Maxwell Gorman.)
Raleigh, July 4.—Scandal mon
gering at back-room headquarteri
where a woman politician presided
and showed her "wares" to peoph
invited to call, was the new feature
of campaigning in this, the Raleigh
judicial district, that caused a land
slide of protesting ballots to put W
F. Evans, an "orphan boy who hag
a good mother," over the top by
nearly 2,000 majority for solicitoi
and drowned oul Mr. Hinsdale an
h s alleged "underworld" supporter
by a majority that stunned tl>
friends of the defeated candidate.
The great moral lesson which t l
result teaches is more important iha
the election itself, and it is to l>
hoped the politicians involved wii
see it as it emblazons in the chirog
raphy on the walls.
Assaulting the private li fe of every
.man (women are facing it, too, in a
most nauseous form) who offers for
public service, must fctop or the offi
ces of trust and honor as well as ot
emoluments will be common division
among reprobates who have no char
acter and never aspired to have any
—and lialeigh in this election has
started to stop it.
It Milt Soon Hi- l'i> to Evans.
"So far, so good. Now, if Evans
will deliver the goods as promised,
we will not have worked and wrought
in vain," was the consensus of com
ment after the election by many men
not politicians, who "shucked their
coats" and went after the Raleigh
ring of politicians who have been
cracking the whip over the heads ol
the people of Raleigh for ljaany
years.
Boasting reformers have had their
day, which day usually limited
to the end of the day of election.
The people who have so pronounced
ly opened the door to Solicitor-elect
Evans expect and believe he will
measure up to his promises—and tht
''alop-jMieke! . brigade" and the
"undei world" aro not the only birdt
in sight, Mr. Evans. You want to
draw a bead on some of the forty
'.'leading" lawyers who "practice" at.
the bar, and some others can be given
a bad case of belly-ache when tlu
new solicitor gets into official action
-and a "killing" along the line ol
relorm in the courthouse is also de
manded, sir!
We believe Evans will "delivei
the goods." That JS what he was
elected to do because of his promises,
and it is the fond hope and belief ol
his liiends that be Will be unlike
some others, who have witnessed sin
•of hideous mien and at last "embrac
ed it." Let not your ardor cool with
the counting of ballots, b6t measure
np 19 the duty and possible greater
opportunities for service to the real
people its prompt arid efiicient per
formance may mean to you!
The shyster lawyers are fair gai ie,
and the potting season will 0:1 m
about the time you qualify for your
new job. We believe, Mr. Evans,
\ou have the sense of duty and will
recognize the fact th:il the people
are demanding a fairer play ol jus
tice in the courtroom and haye olten
been denied it by shyster lawyers
"practicing" at the bar.
Sending the so-called "under
world" to the roads or state farm, i
uot more important than cleaning
house in your own protefr ion. We
voted ffcr you in tl.e hop > that you
have the sense of duty to tackle ttiis
job, too.
* No Ilallcy Victory in Evans' Election
There were several intermingling
v ' issues" that contributed to Evans'
election and the victory can be laid
to no one consideration. Evans in
his last speech in Kaleigh did not
say a word calculated to conlirrn the
statement of Bome that he had ac
cepted Bailey's forced company upon
him, except to confirm the belief
that it was endured rather than in
vited.
Certain it is, that Watts himself
did not antagonize Evans' ambition,
und Joeiah Bailey knows who was
j resent when he (Bailey)firet pre-
THE ALAM AN CE GLEAN ER
sented these or similar charge*
against Evans at (lie Executive itlan
sion, after Manager Ileriot Clarkson
had chosen Evans as Morrison's di
rector for Wsike.n theca.npaign two
years ago." Moreover, some ol Watts'
"force" aftfl . strongest personal
friends voted for Evans and did
much to, enc uupass his election. The
newrsolicitor is not Bailey's child by
an ascertained majority!

GRAHAM, N. C.. THURSDAY. JULY 6, 1922
SENATOR NORRIS'S SPEECH
AGAINST TARIFF IMLL
Senator Simmons Calls it Best he
Ever Heard.
Washington Correspondence.
Cfne of the briefest and one of
t v jß best speeches made in the
Senate against'the Ford
ney-McCumber Profiteers' Tariff
bill was made by Senator George
W. Norris (Rep., Nebr.), Discuss
ing the rates on sliotguus, rifles,
etc.
Thel House bill imposed the fol
lowing high taxes: On shotguns
valued at more thau $5, 81.50
oach; valued at more than 85 and
not more than $lO, 8-1 each; val
ued at 810 and not more than 825,
$1; each; valued at more than $25,
#lO each; with an ad itioual ad
valorem rate of iis per cent, wliich
the SefiatM Committee made •!.'»
per cent.
In his best ironical vein, Sena
tor Norm said:
"I am surprised that tin l Sena
tor (Mr. Simmons) does not under
stand it. Of course, ic is not for
protection, because we send gnus
all over the world. We command
the world's market in gun*. There
is 110 protection in it. It. is not
for revenue, of course, because
noue are imported; but the Sena
tor forgets —and this applies to a
t;ood many otlipr things in this
bill—that there is another reason
that might have a practical effect,
and I am surprised that the
Senator does not understand it>
lias he forgotten the men who aie
engaged in making guns in this
country? - Has he forgotten that
the war is over and that their
market is probably somewhat
interfered with, and that they
need some assistance from some
body? Does not the Senator real
ize, too, that while there are no
guns imported, because they can
not compete with us, there are,
nevertheless, people in other coun
tries who make guus?
"We have this market. We are
reaching out to get the balance of
the world. We want a tarifl away
up high so that we can raise the
price here and still keep out the
t'oreiuuer, while we go out into the
foreigner's country and sell guns
at less than cost and put him out
of business. We could not do
that if wo did not have the Ameri
can fellows here toiling and work
ing to make up here what we lose
abroad, and heuce we have to
have him. It is necessary. If we
can raise the'tariff high enough to
keep out the other tellow, and
raise the price here up to the level
of the tariff wall and compensate
ourselves while we go out aud
conquer the rest of the world in
the gun business, when we have
driven the other fellows out of
business in their home countries,
which may take som" time, we
can increase the price there. We
could not do that without losing
some money unless we had this
thing in the bill, and so we lrnve
it in here.
"It may bo pretty hard on the
fellows who want to buy guns to
shoot prairie dogs and rabbits,
but it is a splendid thing for the
millionaire who makes the ,gun.
The Senator has forgotten about
that, and white ho is traveling out,
to gather in the world.market we
will toil and sweat and work and
labor and keep the wolf from his
door. That is why we have this
tariff, not only ou guns but on a
good many other tilings, \W are
going to do the same thing with
sewing machines ant] paints, and i
a lot of things made out of steel,
alul a whole lot of other things;
and will it not be a glori iui day ;
when that time comes, when our
millionaires will control th; world,
and we will'go 'hungry and toil;
while they are getting around to
do it? We ought to be glad of the .
Opportunity to make these sacii- ,
fices. We/ ought to rejoice that!
we aie tho instrumentalities by j
which these meu % will not only j
profiteer butcoutinue to profiteer. I
They have us captured now. \\V ;
want them to capture everybody j
else, and let every body pay tri :>u:o
to their greatness and to their
grandeur."
"The Senator from North Caro-'j
lina has not grasped the idea yet.
He ought, it seems to me, be
able to understand, and ne wj.l
when he gets as.old as lam and
lives as long as I iiave, that one
of the bleaaiuga that Cofttes to us
' through such legislation as this is
[that for every drop of sweat and
j every bit of toil that our people go
through and all the suffering they
■have to endure they are going to
be able to see somebody living
high and flying with the geese^fc
Senator Simmons on N'orrln' Speech.
Senator brief speech a-
tin- Profiteers' Tariff bill
won the following eulogy from
Xanator Simmons, ranking minor
ity member of the Finance Com
mittee :
"I want to say that I have heard
quite a number of good tariff
speeches, but 1 think the one just
delivered by the Senator from Ne
braska isithe best tariff speech
that I have ever heard. It is the
best indictment of 'this bill that
has been made. It is the t est in
dictment of the application of the
principle of protection so as to
help those who do not n« cd help,
and oppress those who are already
overburdened that has been made.
"I want to e.xpr*>s my grati
tude and in*• Admiration for the
Senator, lie has done the public
a scrviee in making tins tliinu' so
float', and I hope and believe that
what he has said will be taken by
the press of the country to the
people of the country. He said
it in a vein of-irony, it is true,
but an irony which will be under
stood.
"There is 110 quest ion about the
fact that the people art* beginning
to understand this bill pretty well.
Outside of ibis chamber, in pri
vate conversation and in public
(iatheringH, it is being discussed
with a freedom with which it is
not discussed here, and the
volume of protest and criticism is
growing every day.
"The sentiment of tin country
is '»verwheliningly against it. In
fact, when you get outside of this
Chamber it is very Hjli' , ult to
--find anybody, outside of the bene
ficiaries, \he representatives of
the combination, whom this bill
was male to Mibserve, who de
fend these rates "
