W. McLean! was elected North Carolina member of the National committee to sue--ceed Hon. Josephus Daniels, who an nounced some months ago that he would not offer for the position again! on account of his connection with the: President's Cabinet as Secretary of i the Navy.- Mr. Daniels naa Deen na tional committeeman for twenty years. Mr. McLean has been acting as com. mitteeman since Mr. Daniels has been a member of the Cabinet and his election was a foregone conclusion, though this was the first time in the history of the party that a National committeeman has been selected by the State convention. Mr. McLeTTn has for a number of years been a member of the State Democratic executive committee from Robeson, and still holds that office, having been re-elected at the meet- ing of the sixth district delegates to preceding the convention, as mention, ed in Thursday's Robesonian . He was a strong supporter of President Wil son at the Baltimore convention and was in charge of raising the campaign fund in the State during the. presi dential election four years ago. In Thursday's Robesonian was pub. lished the most important transac tions at the meeting ot tne sixtn ais-j trict delegates to the State conven-j tion in the city auditorium in nai eigh at 10 o'clock Thursday morn ing. The meeting was entirely har monious and every election was by acclamation except for presidential elector. Mr. Hall of .Cumberland and Mr. J. Bayard Clark of Bladen were nominated and the ballot re sulted in the election of Clark, who represented Bladen in the State Sen ate two years ago and who is well known all over the district.

North Carolina Democracy. Pres ident Wilson's policies were heartily endorsed. Fifteen or twenty prom, inept Democrats from Robeson at tended the convention. Senator Simmons' keynote speech was the feature of the convention. He spoke for nearly two hours, reviewing the fine record in the administration of State affairs, and the wonderful record made in the Nation by the Wilson Administration. Another feature of the convention was a lambasting given Marion But ler bv Cam Morrison of Charlotte. Mr. Morrison roasted the wily But ler to a turn, bringing storm of anplnu.'e. and Chairman T. A. Mc Neill of the Robeson executive com mittee so approved of the way Mr. Morrison ws lnyincr it on that hp shouted to Cam to "give it to him," giving natural expression to what evrrvbodv else in the hall felt. At the afternoon session stirring addresses were made by Governor Craig. Secretary of the Navy Daniels, and O. Max Gardner, Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor by virtue of the fact that he was the only candidate at the close on April 22 of the period for listing. Mention must not be omitted, eith er, of a remarkable demonstration when the convention rose to its feet nnd for fully a minute cheered Wade II. Harris, editor ot the Charlotte! Observer, for the masterly way in i which he showed up the record ofj Marion Butler in a recent editorial, and unanimously elected him alter nate at large to the Democratic Na tional convention. Solicitor Brock of Wadesboro had nominated four men for alternates-at-large. Judge Murphy of Asheville, who was pre siding, being the last one nomed. Mr. Brock put the question and the four were declared elected. Mr. Cam Morrison then rose and said one mniii was enough for one man to nominate. v.'hereas Mr. Brock had nominated, four, which he regretted, because the! Democracy of Mecklenburg had hoo od to give the Democracy of the State opportunity to honor that he roic editor. Wade V. Harris, whoj had the courage to d .ounce an arch traitor to his native State.
