"lideigh, July 18. —I ask pardui
of the readers of this correspond
ence, and I regret tho necessity, fo ,
using a portion of this weekfy Ral
eigh letter to answer an untruth
ful at!~ek upon the author of tin
"'Jewxam" state correspondence

by Josiah William B. Hey, until re
ctutly collector of revenue
at Raleigh, the best paying federal
office in North Carotin; unfertile
Wilson administration for eigli
years —an unjust, malioic''.s attack,*
designed to injure the writer's busi
ness, while venting Bailsy'a spleeD
upon Col. A. D. Watts, stato com
missioner of revenue.
It is proper to say that the imme
diate cause of Bailey's explosion was
the printing of the assertion in this
correspondence that the nomination
of W. F. Evans as solicitor of this
(Raleigh) judicial district, was not
due to tlirf eleventh hour support oi
Bailey, who on the day preceding
the limitation of time lor candidates
to qualify in the democratic pri
mary, had gone to the Executive
Mansion and demanded that "Evans
must come down!"

the first primary, ,v; s Mr. J. C. Lit
tle. The governor replied to Mr.
Bailey by declaring "No, Evans will
not com nvn le is my friend
and I wi. . tatiii ' him!" At the
same time the governor referred to
the political record of Bailey's pan
didate, after Bai'oy had stated his
reasons for demanding that Evane
should "come down."
It was not until the second
mary had gotten veil under way that
Bailey, seeing that Evans was a sure
winner, made his spectacular "en
trance" into the campaign and made
two speeches. Upon the declaration
of the ballot-box that Evans had
been nominated, Bailey and hi 6
friends began their megaphone noise
tbat "Bailey did it"; that Evans
couldn't have been elected had not
Bailey hopped into the chariot on
the home stretch and made a grab
at the reins.
This writer, in thiscorrspondence,
-.howed the hollow mockery of it
•11 —and thereby incurred* tbe dis
pleasure of ilr. Bailey, in his vault
ing ambitions!
Halley'g Allinius.
It is a matter of common knowl
edge in llaieigh and Wako County
that Josinh \\ illiam Bailey is not an
owr-p puiar man in his home city
ac county. Anybody who resides
tore knows that. It is extremely
doubtfnl if he could carry this
county if he became a candidate for
a: v cilice.
Now, ii Mr. Bailey could say to
any opposition that might a-ise on
tuat 6Core, "See! Here a tha so
licitor o'f this district. t wa* my
influence which put him c,vt". 7 bat
1 did .for him I can do lor myself
if you let me have my way about —
whatever will-'o the-wiep lie is after.
But Maxwell Gorman had said he
tiidn't nominate Evans. In fact he
did him little if any good. There
fore, Gorman and "Llewxam" and
the Gorman News Bureau must be
squelched because he and his med
iums of publicity are apparently not
boosting Bailey—the one and only
great William Josiah Bailey.
Therefore again, sezzee, " I will
use what I believe will be a crip
pling blow at him by falsely elaim-

THE -ALAMANCE GLEANER.
ing that he is only the amanriensi 4
of Colonel Watts, being as h' >" (»or
rrion is a deputy state commis-ione •
of revenue."
So he didn't hesitate to make that
false representation.
So, I am saying this to Mr. Bailey
Your charge has been denied,
and I have printed the statement in
the daily papers, since your attack,
that Colouel Watts —fine democrat
and most capable official that he it
—never dictated or suggested in ali
his life a single sentence appearing
in my News Bureau state correspond
ence. ,
. Now, as you seem to be unwilling
to accept that statement, I will tel 1
you, as much as I dislike to stoop t
say it —that if you repeat the asser
tion again, you will do it at the ex
pense of your personal veracity am
place yourself on the level of tin
.man unworthy of belief, t.> .use uc
harsher expression.
(s(' 'lfemen, who heard you makt
the demand at the executive man
sion to lake Mr. Evans down, almost'
at the last hour left for him t
quality in, tell me your denial ib
false and 1 believe them.
Almost any one reading your
wordß, plying to aiy demand that
you ant My a estion, "Will you
deny it. could the convenient
subterfuge of tl i "faulty memory''
whiciKumviiiUig witnesses so often
resort to —even splitting hairs over
the exact date. You know you
thought it, sir; but you are not sure
ihat you said it,.on or about a certain
date. Ye gods and little apples!
Here it is as printed in The News
and Observer "Public Forum" col
umn of last Saturday:
To the Editor: I have seen* Mr.
Maxwell Gorman's letter in which
he imperiously commands that 1
"answer his questions." I am not
inclined to go sparrow hunting with
Air. Wattß' clerk —even when com
manded to do so by the authorized
spokesman for the State Tax Com
missioner. I will say, however, that
I have no recollection ol such a con
versation with the Governor as hfe
refers to, and, therefore, I deny that
any such conversation took place.
I do not think I saw the Governor
from May 10th to June sth.
Surely, it isn't worth the candle
to waste energy and time on a
d; 'lger like that. Hut it's Bailey,
true to lorm.
So, for the present, we will turn
to other and more dependable sub
jects.
Governor Hack —Strike Prospects.
The strike of railroad shopmpn is
tue mobt conspicuous subject in Ral
eigh todav, fallowing the announce
ment that the Seaboard Air I iue
authorities will this week make an
effort to man the shops here with
workmen brought from other places.
Governor Morrison has returned
from his eastern "liehing cruise,"
and is in close touch with the situa
tion. Everybody knows how tirni
tbe present chief magistrate can be,
once he takes a position.
it is an unquestioned fact that he
is closer to the common people, the
great middle class, who consutute
the backbone of government in North
Carolina, than any governor we have
Had in many years, lie is not going
to see men lighting to save thein-
from an alleged attempt to
lower their standard of living by I
reducing them to paupers through
the pay envelope; he is not going to
see these people intimidated by
needlessly (except ior intimidation
purposes) "calling out the troops"—
uot a.- ng as they keep within tbe
spirit and letter of the law.
But they must do that, and they
are doing it here —and no seriouS
disorder of any 1 ind has yet occurred
in this ciiy or -vicinity.'

Mondell's Claim of Savings Loosed
and Refuted.
Washington Correspondence.
Just prior to the summer recess
of the House for six weeks Re
publican Leader Frank W. Mon
dell pronoiiuced a eulogy upon
what .lie calletf the achievement"
of tKie congress so far. When
analyzed with reference to their
importance these achievements
consist of the passage of a tax re
vision bill which satisfied no one
and the passage of a tariff bill to
which the Senate made 2,057 a
mendments and which will give
even less satisfaction than the tax
revision bill. Judged as a whole
Leader Mondell's eulogy turned
out to be an elegy.
There are misleading state
ments in his speeclT, however,
which should be explained and
made clear. He tells of a reduc
tion of §940,000,000 from Demo
cratic estimates made in l!) Jl by
a Republican Congress, but hi
dot\y. not tell ol' deficiency
passed for that year lor 8482,000,-
000, nor does he toll, as Repre
sentative Byrns (Deni.) ol Tennes
see pointed out, that the reduc
tion from the other estimates was
made possible by the liouvy re
duction of the army and navy af
ter the estimates were submitted
by the Democratic administration
and not through the efforts of the
Republican Congress.
Mr. Mondell was equally unfaii
in his reference to the surplus at
the close of the fiscal year, June
30 last, lie did not explain that
j this surplus was made possible by
Secrerary Mellon- transferring
t 5200,000,000 of 1022 obligations
:to the year l'J23.
Nor did Leader Mondell tell
tbat the estimated deficiencies
for l'J23wwero 8500,000,000 and
that this Congress lias already
appropriated for 1923 over 374,
000,000 more than wan appropri
ated in tbe regular supply hills

Ah- Representative IJyrits truly
„says, "there has been the great
est hypocrisy and deception dur
ing this administration as to al

expenditures."
Republican leaders seem to go
upon the theory that mjsrepresen-
tation is a« good a* the truth and
that the people ate toy .ignorant
to know or to learn the difference.
In all our history no other Con
gress or national administration
has so deliberately set out to
hqodwink. and tv fool the people
as the present i)i-NothiDg Con

Republican Senatorial Chairman
*ars Women Candidates.
Washington Correspondence.
Women who aspire to office on
the Republican ticket, or who
may hereafter aspire, may as well
make up their minds that their
cases are hopeless, because one ol
the highest authorises in the Re
publican organization has declar
ed iu effect in the public press
that women are not competent to
fill the important offices of Sena
tor or r Congressman aud that even
the women themselves will not
vote for women for these import
ant positions.
In an interview with James R.
Ne»ui'Be of the Universal Service,
published in the Washington
rimes, June 24, 11>22, discussing
the candidacy of Mrs. Olesen,
Democratic nominee for United
States Senator in Minnesota, Sou
ator Medill McCormick, Chairman
of the Republican Senatorial Cam
paigii|Committee said:
"Persons might vote for a wo
iimn for superintendent of schools
or for tho town council or other
little jobs# like that, but when it
comes to the senate of the United
they simply will not do it.
1 don't believe that even the wo
men will vote for Mrs. Olesen for
Senator."
There you have it from one of
the chief official mouthpieces of
the Republican party. There you
have an official Republican-'esti
mate and appraisal of the status
of women in politics and iu public
affairs. According to Senator
.UciCormick Home people might
vote for women for school officials
or for the town council or "other
little jobs like that""(he meant
those) but when jt comes to ap
important office, such as Senator
ilcCormick holds, it requires a
great man like Senator McCortnick
or Senator Newberry.
Front Senator MeCormick's
point of view it is all right for the
women to have suffrage and to
exercise the franchise if they will
vote for a Republican like Sena
tor Spencer (liep., Mo.), so that
men like Nat Goldstein may be
'appointed to oilice, or like Sena
tor Mo.ses (Rep.) of New Hamp
shire, Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Printing, so that an
assistant clerk of the committee
can be carried on the pay roll at
if'.!,040 a year of tho tax-payers'
money, while ho actually works
as a clerk at the Republican Pub
licity Association headquarters.
Hut women iuuxt not aspire to the
exalted positions held by Senator
.McCormick or Senator Moses 01
any other offices of importance,
because iu the eyes of Senator
ilcCormick, speaking in his offi
cial capacity as Cairman of the
Republicsn Senatorial Committee,
people do not regard them as fit
or eligible.
The Republican spokesman
who thus eliminates women from
aspiring to national office ranks
next to Chairman John T. Adams
of the Republican National Com
mittee. Inasmuch as the Rejiub
lican National Committee, the
Republican Senatorial Campaign
Committee and the Republican
Congressional Campaign Commit
tee cooperate and have the same
object in view, in national elec
tions; it is fair to assume that
Chairman-Senator McCormick
speaks the sentiments ofall three
branches of the Republican na
tional organization. \.
Senator McCormick in belittling
the suffragists their aspira
tions to apsist in conducting the
affairs ot the government is only
acting in bafmouy with the dis
crimination the Republican or
ganization is and has been inak
ii g agaiust women. Only a very
few women the membership
of the Republican National Com*
mittee, and only by their own
efforts are they made members o
the minor committees in their or
ganizations. This is in striking
contrast to the, attitud «• f the
Democratic organization upward
women. There is a Democratic
National Comm i tteewoman iu
each state as well as a Democratic
National Committeeman. This
pol'cy of fifty-fifty extends down
through the organization whet
ever possible. The Democrats
have never made any distinction
between men and women aspir
ants for office. At this writing
there are four Democratic women
aspirants for United Slates Sena-
tor and nearly a dozen for Con
gress.
All this is in striking contrast
to the contemptuous manner in
which the Chairman of the Re
publican Senatorial Campaign
Committee speaks of women as
pirants for office.
Senator McCormick's estimate
of the suffragists and their aspir
ations will come as a shock to
them, and to all who believe iu
equal opportunity and fair jday
and he will undoubtedly hear from
his flippant contemptuous re
marks before the campaign is
much older.
Defection Over Tariff Bill —
Republicans Fear Defeat
Washington, July 17.—The de
fection,ol Republican Seui tors
over th'! Fordney McOnmber
Tariff bill, following the general
defection of the Republican pres*
is alarming the administration
and the Republican national or
ganization. Like the man who
was swinging the tiger by the tail,
Republican Senators .ire hollering
for someone to help hem let go.
Senators like LaFolk te of Wis
consiu, for instance, would like
to recommit the bill and have the
schedules revised downward, and
are freely predicting Republican
defeat this fall unless thiß is done.
Other Republican Senators favor
postponing the passago of the
Tariff bill until after the electiou,
and still others would like to
throw it out the window and the
Ship Subsidy bill with it.
Speaking by-and-large the Ford
ney-McCumbeii'i, Tariff bill is be
coming about as popular as a case
of smallpox. The Democratic
Senators have analyzed it and
vivisected it so thoroughly that
all of the infamies and iniquities
of the schedules so far discunsed
have been exposed and made plain
to the general public. These ex
posures show that tho extortion
ate profiteering rates of the bill
tire not comparable to anything
short of burglary in the first de
gree. The popular reaction against
the bill has so affected some Re
publican Senators that they are
beginning to declare their inten
tion to vote against it unless cer
tain schedules are largely re
duced.
Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin,
recently said, "If rates like this
are to be written in the bill in
any great number I shall be
relieved of any obligation to sup
port it."
Senator Norris of Nebraska,
had previously declared, "We
cannot defend a bill built on these
principles. You may get the votes
to put it through, but I warn you
now that we will be the sufferers."
The latest insurgent against the
bill is Senator Edge of New Jersey,
who said:
"The passage of this hard and
fast tariff bill without opportuni
ty for certain elasticity of rates
might prove a national calamity.
As much as I realize, in many
cases, the necessity for higher
schsdules for our farm and fac
tory products, I feel that I would
fail in my duty if I finally sup
ported a measure which, while it
unquestionably provides much
needed protection, still might re
sult in a farther diminution of
our trade « ith the worM, so nec
essary to the prosperity of every
class of citizensuip."
Even Senator AlcCuinber, in
charge of the bill, and other Re
publican Seoator* like Cummins
of lowa, freliugl uyK.-u of New
.fcrssy, and Town emt of Michi
gan, openly admit thai this is no
time to pass a tariff bill but this
is not the reason why Republic* i
leaders and the Republican a.
ministration are trying to find too
way to shelve the bill until af er
the election. They fear defeat
at the polls, and this fear is the
only consideration that would
prevent them from carrying out
their contract with the special
privilege class to mulct the gen
eral public through profiteering
tariff rates.
The tariff bill, which wan one
of Mr. Harding's administration
assets, has become one of iti
greatest liabilities.

Judge Davis Gives Political
Facts in Epigrams.
( Washington Correspondence.
The Fourth of Julv speech
made by Representative Ewin I«.
Davis of Tennessee, in New York
City, bristled with sparkliuu epi
grams which uiakes it one of the
most effective speeches inal? in
i celebration of our national holi
day. The following extracts are
taken therefrom:
"With 168 majority in the
House and 24 majority iu the Se
uate the G. O. P. has been un
able to function. ,It seems to
have a lot of control but no speed."
"Both of these bills (Tariff and
Ship Subsidy) are for the benefit
of bpecial interests. They (the
Republicans) are trying to pay
their campaign contributions go
in r; and coming."
Tiu resuiis of the Disarina
meut Conference constitute mere
ly some steps in the right direc
tion aud some steps iu the wrong
direction."
"During the last campaign the
Republicans pledged lot he nation
'llariliug and Prosperity.' They
have lulfiiltd only tie first half
of the pledge—they gave jis
Harding. Their pledge has been
translated into 'Harding and Hard
Times'"
"A majority of the people
voted for a chauge—and got it.
They exchanged eight years of
Democratic prosperity for four
years of Republican adversity.
The humorous jphilosopher, Abe
well expressed it wheu „
he said: 'Tell Brinlcly, who voted
for a change, was let out at
saw-mill the other day.' Milliojs
of Tell Brinkleys have been let

istration.'
' 'Normalcy' seems to be having
serious tire trouble."
"There has been a reductionin •

reduction in incomes under Re
publican misrule."
