Charlotte, Dec. 4. In the wake of
Torn" Heflin's fierv sssault upon the
Mose resolution to give the ballot to
th negroes in the South or reduce the
representation of the states in Con
gress is found here a belligerent De
mocratic organisation fighting to uphold
Wilsoniam and elect Clyde B. Hoey to
Congress over John Motley Morehead.
Congressman Heflin, in two speeches
in the Ninth district, hss aroused the
Democrats to a determination to rebuke
Morehead and his platform of Lodge
ism with the handsomest majority for
Hoey ever given a Demoeratie nominee
from the district. Mecklenburg is
aflame with th spirit of Thomas Jef
ferson and the city of Charlotte, where
Morehead's personal popularity has
been touted by imaginative politicians,
is whetting its thirst to drink deep
from the cup of Vance and Ayeock.
The Moses resolution, in the opinion
of leading Mecklenburg politicians, has
mad indignant the voters in the Ninth
who "would hav for on reason and
another remained lnkewarm and left the
battln to the two township organizations.
As a Senublicaa threat to re-enfranchise
th negro ia th South and bring- a
return of the' days of black domination,
Mr. Heflin found in the resolution much
in common with planks in the Republi
can platform ts. which Morehead,-aa

enough to invite the talk.
Most of the Republican organisation's
work is being ' carried on from the

to champion Morehead because he is op

down at much as possible is being con
