"Every American citizen should carry - his soverignty under his own hat," declared Mr. John J. Parker of Monroe, Republican candidate for Governor, in. beginning an address in the court house here featurday at noon. Mr. Parker's address was un like the usual Republican campaign speech in the fact that it did not car ry the bitter attacks upon the Wilson administration and the administration of the dominant party in North Car olina. "Men need to learn their political duty to their State and nation," the speaker declared. Continuing he said : "The man who favors his poli-1 ticai above his country is either traitor an idiot or a fooL The 1 troUDie lies in me poiiLiciaos. theories of socialism are rocking nation. 1 wil follow no party leader which is poisoned with poison of socialism.

The greatest trouble with the Dem ocrats in North Carolina is not what they have done, but what they have failed to do. This party does noth ing for the people. The discontent in the State has1 been brought about by th.e neglect of the people by the State government failure to do anything for the. people, said Mr. Parker. t Mv.
