McLEAN LEADS.
McLean received an avalanche
of votes in Saturday's primary.
Latest reports give him a lead
over Bailey oi 68,000 with
other precincts to hear from.
J. Elmer Long, candidate for
Lieut.-Gov., leads the field by
about 9,000, but does not have
majority o\er his two competi
tors.
Judge Pell fur corporation
commissioner; Stacy W. Wade
for insurance commissioner, and
Baxter Durham for auditor are
all nominated
For attorney general, com
missioner of agriculture and
commissioner of labor and
printing, there will have to be
another primary.
REPUBLICANS IN CONVENTION.
The National Republican con
vention met in Cleveland, Ohio,
Tuesday to nominate candidates
for president and vice-president.
Of course Mr. Coolidge will be
nominated without opposition.
That was a foregone conclusion
almost from the day he took the
oath of office upon the death of
President Harding. Why he
was selected for the sacrifice we
can only surmise, but there was
a time he would have been a
formidable candidate. He let
the opportunity pass. The
standpatters beguiled him. He
let himself lean heavily toward
the monied interests. He made
promises and could nqt carry
them out. His party leaders
would not let him. Enough
voters of hi* own party are
against him to defeat him.

LaFOLLETTE DREADED
BY REPUBLICANS.
He Knows the West and the West
l
Believes in Him.
Special Correspondence.
Washington, D. C., June 9.
Fear of LaFollette will haunt the
managers of the Republican Na
tional Convention all this week
and for the remainder of the
presidential campaign, and yet
there is nothing they can do to
give themselves comfort or cour
age. LaFollette absent is sure to
be a stronger influence than ever
was LaFolfette present.
The Senator from Wisconsin
personifies and interprets the
western States which have revolt
ed agaiuHt President Coolidge" and
the kind of Republicanism which
he represents. Without the
electoral votes of those States
Coolidge runs under an almost
hopeless handicap. And yet his
backers and spokesmen at Cleve
land can do next to nothing to
keep the agricultural West in
line for the Republican nominees
this'year.
Any attempt to write a plat
form or to promise legislation that
would satisfy this ' recalcitrant
and rebellious Republicanism of
the West would instantly alieuate
certain Eastern groups which are
expected to finance the Republi
can party this year as in the past.
Nothing that the eastern con
tingent would accept will suit
Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dako
tas, Nebraska, lowa, Montana,
and Idaho. By the same token,
what they demand would be re
jected by the element which wants
Coolidge.
LaFollette and bis progressive
Republican followers in Congress
and out of it have all along looked
to the Republican administration
to give them the kind of taxation,
agricultural relief, and other
legislation they demand. The
"regular" Republicans of Con
gress, plus the progressives whom
LaFollette controls would have
constituted au effective majority
in behalf of the program that the
latter have advocated. The fail
ure of this program is blamed on
President Coolidge and the Re
publican leaders of the House and
the Senate. It will be LaFollette's
plan to charge this responsibility
directly to the Administration,
since it is in normally Republican
States that he must find his votes,
and these must l>e wou from Cool
idge.
There will be efforts at compro
mise when the Republican plat
form is framed. The midwestern
Republicans and those from the
Pacific Coast will seek to write
delphio declarations that may be
read in one sense in the East and
in quite another sense in the
West. Though discounted in ad-,
vance, this device will be adopted
in the hope of "preventing Hell
from overflowing east and West
from its present oenter," as one
Republican has already put it.
Whatever may be undertaken,
It is pretty definitely provisioned,
the Republican convention iB
quite as certain to give a start to
LaFollette's campaign as it is to
Initiate Coolidge's.'

Out from the West there cbn
tinue to come reports of the dis
affection among thousands of Re
publican farmers. Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, who recently
was in that section, brought back
to Washington a dismal story of
the difficulties Mr. Coolidge must
faee as the candidate or his party
in practically all the region west
of the Mississippi River. The
political conditions there, from
the Republican viewpoint, were
as grave as the agricultural con
ditions, to which, in fact, they
relate, Senator Moses told Repub
lican leaders in Washington.
Neither the political .prospect
nor the agricultural situation is
likely to beMmproved by the en
actments of the Republican Con
gress. None of the legislation the
farmers of the West have urged
the Administration to give them
has been passed. The forthcom
ing harvest in the West is expect
ed to have the paradoxical effect
rather of aggravating than alle
viating the present distress of the
farmers. They fear that the price
of wheat will be relatively, if not
absolutely lower than it was last
| year, while meantime their re
souroes have diminished and their
debts have increased.
Senator Moses grew facetious
at the expense of these suffering
farmers in the coarse of an inter

view he gave to a reporter in
Bridgeport, Connecticut—fa r
from the Wheat Belt—a few days
ago. He said he hoped they
would'adopt President Coolidge's
advice and "diversify their
crops." "They ought to begin
raiding something besides h~4,"
said Senator_ Moses. But the
campaign justfopening will blast
the hopes of Senator Moses and a
I good many other Republicans.
DEMOCRATS WEL
COME THE ISSUE.
Says Senator Simmons, as Between
the Mellon and Democratic Plans.
Democrats are entirely willing that
the issue between the Mellon plan
and the Democratic tax law just en
acted shall be debated and decided
in the forthcoming presidential cam
paign, declared Senator F. M. Sim
mons (Dem. N. C.) in a vigorous
statement a few days ago. Senator
Simmons is the author of the normal
tax rates and surtax rates of the new
Democratic measure.
Referring to objections urged
against the Democratic bill in Mr.
Coolidge's statement accompanying
his approval of the measure, Senator
Simmons declared that "if the Presi
dent and the Republican party wish
to make the Mellon plan as against
the Democratic plan, as written in
the new law, an issue in the ap
proaching campaign, they may rest
assured that issue wilL be heartily
welcomed by the Democratic party."
The facts of record in the Treas
ury Department furnish ample evi
dence to refute every contention
made by the President and Secretary
Mellon with respect to the effect
which the income tax provisions of
the new law will have upon pro
ductive industries, Senator Simmons
said. The Democratic indictment
against the Mellon bill was based
upoifits gross discrimination against
an overwhelming majority of tax
payers with relatively small incomes
and its preferential treatment of a
few thousand taxpayers of great
wealth, Senator Simmons declared.
To dispose of the President's con
tention that unless the higher surtax
rats was cut from a maximum of 50
to a maximum of 25 p£ cent, as
Secretary Mellon demanded of Con
gress, money would be invested in
tax-exempt securities, Senator Sim
mons said:
"They refuse to consider or dis
cuss the indisputable facs that out
of $2,879,000,000 of assets listed in
1922 for estate taxes there were
found tax-free securities barely suf
ficient to cover funeral and adminis
trative expenses.
"The President and Mr. Mellon
refuse to discuss the well-established
contention that for every dollar that
escapes surtax through investment
in tax-free securities, more than $lO
escapes surtax through failure of
corporations to distribute their Sur
plus earnings; and tbey denounce
economic heresy any proposition
to force a distribution of these earn
ings through the impositian of sur
taxes such as would have to be 'paid
on similar earnings by an individual
or partnership.
"Divest the argument and con
tentions of the President and Mr.
Mellon of this bogey of investment
in tax-free securities and their whole
case against a higher surtax rate
falls to the ground."

THAT MORNING LAMENESS
If you are lame every morning, and
suffer urinary ills, there must be a cause.
Often it's weak kidneys. To strengthen
the weak kidneys and avert more serious
troubles, use Doan's Pills. You
can rely on Graham testimony. Ask
your neighbor!
H. C. Bason, carpenter, 8. Maple St.,
Graham, says; "I suffered right smart
with a dull ache in my back, awl at times
sharp pains cut through my back that
were so painful I cried aloud. Mornings
my back was so stiff and sore I could
hardly get out of bed and it was impos
sible for me to bend to put on my shots
The action of my kidneys had me wor
ried, as the secretions passed so often and
were scanty and annoyed me during pas
sage. I be iran iisin r OOAD'S Pills
from the Graham Drug Qo. and it didn't
setm any time until my kidneys were
again acting regularly and I didn't have
the terrible backaches. Doan's sure cured
me."
