V Mi VOLUMN LIX. - LOUISBURG, N. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12. 1928 (10 Pages) NUMBER 34 B A I L E Y MAKES TOLERANCE PLEA! Delhers Address Before Democratic Kally In Loulsburg Characterizing Herbert Hoover, who appears to be both wet and dry, as tire most amphibious candidate In the annuls of politics in this country, J. W.-Balley, of Raleigh, spoke at a De. mocratlc rally here Friday night to a courthouse full of enthusiastic hear era. Mr. Bailey scored the Republi can party and made a strong plea for a sense of religious freedom that will permit no penalty on any man be cause of his faith. "The man who raises the religious question In American politics" Mr. Bailey declared,' "offends against the Constitution, against his country and his God. Country and God demand that the soul shall be free?In order that religion may be pure. American poli tics are devoted to practical ques tions of economic welfare. Set up this religious Issue and sectarian riv alries and lealousness will engage the minds of our people for generations to come. We will cease to go for ward. We will go backward. We will undo the magnificent progress of 150 years of politics devoted to prac tical questions of public welfare. "The fact that Governor Smith Is a Catholic has nothing to do with his candidacy. Men who believe in the principle of religious freedom and lr. our Constitution will give the fact l ot the slightest weight. We will '? "t no penalties upon any man be ?e of his religion, and good Amerl < : will not permit any man to be <?' '"^d of oglce because of his rell tlnL jlif' "ere in this campaign for no other ""?ise, I would be In It to do my part to defend and proclaim the doctrine of religious liberty. It came to me from Baptist preacher fathers, and, God helping me, I Intend to hand It dowtf unimpaired to my children. "Read Governor Smith's record. Show me when and wherein In his long public gervlce of 30 years he manifested In his official aqts the slightest evidence of ecclesiastical influence. That Is the test. Meet that challenge. He is not ashamed of his church; he does his duty as a christian and I honor him for It." "The vital principle of the Demo cratic party Is to light out.jrour bat tles within the party fn primary or convention, and when decision la reached, accepting the will of the majority to unite-In the campaign and the election," said Mr. Bailey. "Any ether course means party disintegra tion. "We must preserve the Democratic party?no matter about any one can didate or issue. It Is the sure In strument of the people's will and* the people's rights. It Is the historical national Institution of popular gov ernment. Moreover, It Is the faith ful .guardian of the Southern peo ple." The Republican party, Mr. Bailey maintained,'ought to be driven from power not only because It disgraced and despoiled the republic, but be cause It failed to meet the most pressing economic problem of our time, the relief of the farmers. ' . "At "such times," he said, "the peo ple have always turned to the Demo. < retic party, and it has never -failed them. In such times It gave this country Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland and Wood row Wilson, and It Is again ready. It offers a great leader, a great and proven Democrat as Jeffersonlan as Jefferson, as strong against privilege as Jackson, as honest and courageous as Cleveland, as capable In adminis tration and as sympathetic with the Joffflble masses of mankind as Wood rW"Wll8on?our standard bearer and leader, Alfred E. Smith." He discussed Governor Smith, his rise in public esteem from the side walks of New York, accounted for the 30 years in which he has been the target of Republican campaign ers, and referred to the whispering campaign that Is now employed against him. "Hoover sayB he wants no support on the religious Issue," he declared, "and I hope that these people who are moved by that question will under stand that the Republicans don't ^"want them?are justly ashamed ' of them. The only thing for them to do is to get In a little hole or klavern? as they call It?and organize a little party of their own. The rest of us stand for the freedom of the soul and the standard of our Constitution. We will permit no penalty to be put upon any man's religion." He discussed the Republican at tacks on Governor Smiths position on immigration, on bis connection with Tammany, and on his attitude toward prohibition. "As to prohibition," said Mr. Bailey, "Governor Smiths position Is better than Hoovers because Hoover has no position?has never said a word about the Volstead Act; calls the whole business an experiment; says he Is for the Coolldge policies?un der which we have 1,360,000 distiller ies in our land_and 2,000,000 people engaged In bootlegglpg. Finally, ha would appoint a commission, "Hoover Ik a policy man. He was for the Wilson policies In 1918; ha Is for the Coolldge policies In 1928; SUPT. BEST ADDRESSES A LARGE AUDIENCE Cc!ored Citizens Assembled In Kdu. rational Mass Meeting Tuesday Mght At Court Mouse County Superintendent B. L- Beet was the principal speaker before a 'arge gathering of most of the lead ing citizens and tax payers among the colored people in Louslbufg and Franklin county Tuesday night in tne court house. . The county official went Into^ de tail in his effort to show tho attltnde of Franklin county toward the edu cation of Us citizens and declared ti.at the county would build nign schools in each of Ave districts as soon as enough students In those dis tricts presented themselves of high school preparation. assured For the present, Mr. Besi assur^ his hearers that the county was ready to do its duty by school, now being built In this town. He declared that It is thelr deslre to have It a county training schooli bo o8 to include "Students from the en tire county free of cost for six months thereafter" of course, a small monthly fee would be charged. Mr. Best quoted voheminous flgur one time, he declared the United States had spent more thani six MI lion dollars for the education of its citizens, and then told how he wouid be if most of the white and colored people In the county had at least a seventh grade school educa tl0After reading from figures that showed the number of mhabltants of the State's prison and each busines and profession represented. lnclu*ln* married and single, church members " und non professed christians, M* Best ascertained that moral. aiMrituah manual and mental training were prime requisites In the modern school room, and he Intimated that educa Hon was a failure If stress was not placed upon conduct which Included the consumatlon of moral obllgatlona The speaker paid tribute to falter 1 M Alston, who had been selected by \ Chairman J. H. Sills, to Introduce the 8PWhen Mr. Best finished. Major S. F Boddle, who had a?ompani^ th? speaker, was presented and delighted his hearers in his brief remarks. The reply to the addresses of the evening was made by Dr. J. B. Davis X declared that tor comprehensive ness and charity backed UP by will and fine sentiment, Mr. Bests speech had eclipsed all former ef f?Dr Davis made the point that the white people of the South, though liv ing in daily contact with the negro did not know him, this paradox w clarified to the satisfaction of all however, when he described thattypc of negro who had the ear of his su. neriors and told them things about persons and conditions and acted i such polite and humble manner be. fore their good white friends, thu3 ingratiating themselveB lnto thelr con fldence, but when they turned to their c ,rn race they were just the reverse, hi their attitude towards both groups. 1 The negro who speaks frankly s best friend to both races. This is the type. Dr. Davis contend that our good white citizens dont Unow and he contended that the only way to find them out Is to get the ev donee from reliable memblers ot their own racial group. After agata thank ing Superintendent Be8t' wb?tost in characterized as one of the 8b 8St '3 the State, Dr. Davis expressed thanks to Major Boddle. whom he paid a splendid tribute, refefr 1 ngt? h an able business man and a broad maeed humanitarian. He closed by laqding the fine re lationship between white and colored neocle In this community, which the phvslcian declared to be possible only through such noble characters as Ma jor Boddle and Superintendent Best. be was (or the League of Nations in 1918; he Is against the League of Nations now. He was a Democrat and running for the nomination for President as a Democrat in 1920; he claims to be a Republican now. In the country about 14 years, making bis fortune abroad, he either does not know anything about these great questions, or he has done the finest lot of political leaping ever seen outside a circus. To .cap the climax, at this time he is running as a wet In the North and as a dry in the South. He is the most amphibious candidate for the Presidency In all our annals." As to Governor Smith's position on prohibition, Mr. Bailey Insisted that It could not affect the situation In any State that wants liquor. "Any proposed changis in the Con. stltutlon," he continued, "must be fought out .hereafter. You will have abundant opportunity to take 'your stand. Meanwhile, th there is corrup tion in government to be rooted out, and here is the great farming popu. lation crying for relief. Here are the other great pressing questions of the time. To be sure, we will not permit our differences on pro hibition, which we may settle later on, to stand between ua and the moral challenge of Republican cor. ruption and the distressing demands of-onr farmers forrtijif." .

L. Johnson, Chairman of the Democratic Advisory Committee, addressed the Young Men's Demo cratic Club ot Franklin county Wed nesday night in the court house. There was a large attendance (rom all sec. tions ot the county. Senator Johnson painted a word picture of the remarkable progress of North Carolina since Chas. B. Ay cock was elected Governor in 1900, claiming as ponumental achievements the building of the public school sys tem that compares favorably with the most progressive states of the Union, and a State wide system of highways that has made North Carolina the un challenged leader of all the Southern States. "But we have done more than this" said Senator Johnson. "We have not only made it possible for every 'boy and girl, regardless of condition lln life or circumstances of fortune to burgeon out all that God put into his soul by giting him an educational opportunity, hut we have to a very rare degree translated in terms of public service the Christian precepts lot Jesus of Nazareth. The lame were made"to walk; the blind to see again, and the erring youth has been re claimed." Senator Johnson here call r?iFthe roll of the charitable and cor 'reeticmal institutions. "The girl. or. I vhose brow sin has stamped its scarlet letter of disgracS has been licked up and sheltered in Samar. rand and redeemed to a life of use. fulness and service" said he refer ring to the Institution for reclaiming '.erring girls. X Senator Johnson here paid tribute to O. Mai Gardner as a man 17 be-eminently At to lead the great Democratic party to new and even ! nobler achievements, predicting his election by an overwhelming ma ; Senator Johnson-Mit discussed the 'candidacy of Governor Smith for I President, describing him * "J*? who- by merit and worth had lifted himself by his own boot straps from | the East Side of New York, as a little boy by selling newspapers, to within the very shadows of the White House. He rediculed the attacks ! upon Governor Smith by F/ank Mc Ninch and others on the prohibition question pointing out that we have ! abundant laws in North Carolina to protect adequately our homes against intoxicating liquors. Even if Gover. 1 nor Smith's views on the liquor ques. ' Hon are erroneous they can in no wise affect North Carolina. He charg jed Dr. A. J. Barton with insincerity and read his report as Chairman of the Anti.Salbon League, in which Dr. Barton charged President Coolidge rnd his secretary of the treasury, An drew Mellon with failing to enforce the prohibition laws.
