LOUISBURQ, N. 0., PRIDAY, MARCH 29th, 1929 (12 Pages) NUMBER 6 Senate Ends As It Began, With Speech By Person Raleigh, March 19.-?The 1919 sea fioa of the state senate ended as It bad begun with a speech from Sena, tor Willie M. Person, of Franklin, there was nothing before the bouse, but a dull half hour In which the chair had to ratify the piles of bills and i esolutions which have been pass, ed during the last two days. The rcnator from Franklin, at the unani mous request of the senate, made another speech to kill that dull half hour. Prohibition was the first subject discussed by North Carolina's only rvowed wet. "We will never live to see a real dry in the White House," said Sena - tor .Person. "The only difference be tween A1 Smith and Hoover was that A1 Smith carried his liquor In his haud, where everybody could see It, and Hoover carried his concealed in hi-T hip pocket. "When I was young, I was (taught that there were 16 drinks In a quart of liquor. But after seeing prohibi tionists drink, I have decided there arc only three. The drier they vote, the thirstier they get" Speaking of the achievements of the legislature he said:* "After all, this has been a very pro gressive legislature, It has served r.otice on the school forces and the load forces of North Carolina that they are the servants of the people ?-anti not their masters .HLlhuXulnte, If _ a school superintendent comes down here to lobby the legislature his own people will not countenance his action." The Republicans In the legislature, Senator Person described them as "the pick of the Republican party," and praised their conduct In this as. ?sembly. Speaking of the Question of local legislation, which has plagued tnis legislature, he said: "I am a Democrat, and when it is a partisan question I vote with the Democrats. But when it Is a question cf decency and senatorial courtesy I vote with the senator whose district is concerned. If the white people of a county don't have sense enough to carry that county, they should be made to take their medicine in the form of Republican local legislation." " "Questioned by Senator- Hobbs, Sen ator Person denied that he loved the Hoover Democrats, now the campaign was over. "They are peoiple with 'no place to go," he said, "too proud to associate with Republicans, and unlit to aseoi clate with Democrats. They will have _ to go off and'build them a hell of their . own. unless they repent and. come into the Democratic party." He predicted that the Democratic party would remain desolate unless It treated ""John Smith," and the com mon people with consideration, and ended with a word of praise and a I declaration of loyalty and support for Governor Max Gardner. The message from the house was received. Senator Persofci concluded j his speech, the doors were opened, the gavels In the hands of Speaker; Graham and Lieutenant Governor Fountain fell simultaneously, and the 1:129 session of the general assembly adjourned sine die a|t 8:03 p. m.?
