OUB BALEIGU LETTER By -M. L. .Milpwirit * Raleigh, Nov. 5.?One^of the. heav iest oratorical campaigns the State of North Carolina has ever experieuc ed, according to the older heads, has been concluded and the battle ot bal lots . tomorrow will decide which ot the contending parties is to" sit at the head ot the table in both the State aud the Country. In both camps of the major parties the fight has been last and furious for weeks. Attacks and counter attacks have character ized the progress of events and ma ty who were friends before the unpleas antness gained headway are not even on speaking terms today. Bitter par tisanship carried to the extreme has not only severed personalities of a lifetime,-ft has divided families and churches, provoked bloodshed, mur der and general confusion. Intoler. ance has held sway in its. most aggra vating form and neither party, nor any political group may truthfully be charged with having had a mono ply on If. Personalities were substi tuted for issues and billingsgate for f.rgument, in both the Smith and anti Smith performances, while the Re publicans smiled gleefully as they stood on the sidelines. Senator F. M. Simmons has been the major objet of attack from the Smith adherents who early realised the force of his opposition to the New Yorker for the presld^acy. The Senator contented himself (with stat ing his position until attacW upon his political integrity became so vio lent he could stand it no longer, acr cording to friends in harmony with his views. The extent of his oppo. aitlon to the head of the Democratic tlcktt will be seen in the returns of Tuesday's election in the State. Ar rayed against him has been practical ly every Democratic leader of promi nence in North Carolina. Men who would have never been heard of be yor.d the Umlta of their precinct!) In the absence ot his friendship have been loudest it) abuse of the man who : paved the way for their political ad vancement, is a suggestion offered by those who are stiil willing to trust uim. However, dire predictions touch, i lug the Senator's activities In the present campalgu are rampant und when be offers for re.nominatlon two years hence the influence of former friends is likely to be sadly missing Standing for principle rather than^ party is flne in theory hut not in prac' :ice during a political campaign. Hen ry Clay may have been right, but be never became President. In the opinion of the late Zebulon Bal d Vance, "Democracy la immor tal." Taking this as its tenet the De. mocratic party of 'North Carolina shQuld be able to pull itself together despite the recent unpleasantness and present a united front to the enemy again in 1930. This is the view con servative leaders are minded to ex press even , before the force of the tattle has expended itself. Dr. George W. Truett, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Tex. as, and president of the Southern Bap tist Convention, accompanied by Dr. Arch Oree, of'Atlanta, acting execut. ive secretary of the Home Mission floard. spent a day here during the week in conference with several hun dred Baptist leaders ot North Caro lina touching the serious situation which now confronts "the denomina tion as a result of the million dollar defalcation ot Clifton S. Carnes, form er treasurer of the Board. The meet lings were held in the First Baptist church and the representatives pre sent accepted the suggestion of Doc. tor Truett to Join with the Baptists rf other Southern states in one great movement to save the honor of the denomination by raising the $953,000 needed to replace the amount of the shortage. North Carolina Baptists are to raise $95,000 as their part of lue amount In two most enlighten ing inspirational addresses Doctor Truett outlined ,'The Outlook for Bap lists Around the World," and "The | Present World Calt to Baptists." 8un duy, November 11, Armistice Day, has b--en designated as Honor Day within tne bounds of the Southern Baptist Convention and all members of the Denomination are asked and expected to rally to the colors. The cases charging Dr. Albert An. derson. Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane at Raleigh, with malfeasance in office and em bezzlement, and James Adams, farm superintendent of the institution, with embezzlement hare been postponed by agreement of counsel on both sides and after consultation with the Gov ernor, who called the. special term ct court for the trial of these spe. riflc-ally. " Nearly one hundred wit nesses have been supoenaed in the case and a large array of counsel Is to represent Doctor Anderson. Solf utor Brassfleld will be assisted by Walter Slier, Assistant Attorney Gen. eraL The reason assigned for re questing a continuance wbb the need of more time to prepare the case. Both sides say they will be ready by" November 12. State officials have been telling of North Carolina's resources over radio station WLAC, Nashville, Tenn., dur . ig, the past week. Commissioner of Agriculture Wm. A. Graham, led the way with an address on "North Caro lina's Agricultural Progress since it,IS," but did not confine his talk to agriculture alone. Chas. Ross, gen eral counsel for the State Highway Commission, told his radio audientye tt "North Carolina Highway as an Investment," Dr. A. T. Allen,, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, spoke on "Educational Progress" in tne State and Dr. Chas. 0"h. Laugh inghouse, State Health Officer, talked on "Health, the State's Greatest As. set." W. S, Lee, vice-president of the Duke Power Company, gave his views on what h<f regards as the proper water power policy for North Garo Una. Members of the Advisory Budget Commission, consisting of A. H. Gra ham, chairman of the House Finance Committee; Z. V. Turlington, chair, man of the House Appropriation Com mittee; Walter H. Woodson, chair man of the Senate Finance Commit tee and R. S. McCoin and A. M. Dixon, appointees of the Governor, were in session herejwo days during the week considering budget proposals of the "arious Stc.e departments. The Gov. ernor as director of the budget, P. H. Williams, as assistant director, and Henry Burke, expert of the budget, sat with the commission in an ad visory capacity. Requests so far sub mltted include the State Board of Health which asks for $465,290 for the first year of the new biennhna as against $60,000 for the last year of the present blennlum: State Board of charities and Public-Welfare. 1K0.B2S th gi l?t to te Fi $1 H Of hi b( re rc di st G th ci E from $36,000; Pardon Commissioner, $6,800; Secretary of1 State $22,350 whitli would include the expenses of the General Assembly?: Slate Audi tor, $63.35,"; Department of Labor and Printing, $34,5''', Governor':; of. flee, $18,500; Attorney General, $15, 625; for the first year of the next Mennlum and $16,625 for the seuofnd year on account, it is said, of the ne cessity of printing biennial reports. The State Department -of Agriculture is asking for a sligbthtcrease in ap. propriations for the gahwand oil test ing work. The Board wtU this week consider request from the Site's edu cational and charitable . institutions, following which will begin the pre. paratton of the report for submission to the General Assembly next Jan uary. Chairman Prank Page, of the State Highway Commission, announces his decision to retire at the end of the present year, but may continue as part time commissioner If present plans of his associates on the Com* mission meet the approval of the Gen. eial Assembly. Mr. Page was first named Highway Commissioner by Governor Blckett In 1919 and reap pointed two years later by Governor Morrison for a term of six years. At I I I I e expiration of that time he was ven another stx-year term by the esent Governor and would have ur years yet"to serve. Since en, ring the services of the State, Mr. tge has directed the expenditure of 26,000,000 In building the State ighway system now regarded as one the best in the country. Through s work 7,000 miles of road have en constructed and his intention to tire was received with surprise and ?gret In official circles here. He ?aws $15,000 per year, the highest lary paid any State official, tfce overnor not excepted. It Is said lat the Raleigh branch of the Wa :ovia Bank and Trust Company Is bgotlatlng for the services of Mr. age, who is already a membeV of its board ot directors. A number o( Raleigh citizens were i given a thrill during the week by the ; lord tri-motored monoplane which has been making passenger flights here nnder the auspices ot the San, tiers Motor Company. It is the largesc passenger carrying aircraft ever to halt at a local landing field and while in Raleigh carried scores of people on short flights over the city. The plane stands more than twelve feet high with a wing spread of 74 feet and a length of 60 feet. It is provid ed with wicker chairs for the comfort c f passengers who may walk about as they would in a railroad passen ger train. The cabin is ventilated with sliding glass windows and a jam tip heating system for the higher altl. Ludes. Fifteen, or more, passengers may be accomodated besides the pilot and assistant, and is equipped with baggage storage space and toilet. It has a high speed of 114 miles per hour, but seldom exceeds 95 miles The fuel tank holds 235 gallons and the plane has a cruising radius of 570 miles, or around six hours flyiug time. This wonder of the air makes contact with the ground softly and with no bounds, due to recoil me chanism and compression rubber ilfscs.
