Colvcr left the intimation that the larger Chicago packing concerns had connived in some degree to attain that result and involved Ludvig "C. A.

A simple little resolution endorsing woman suffrage, presented by Mrs. Al Kairbrother, brought storm and confusion to the closing session of the mid-winter con vention of the North Csrolina Press Association this afternoon, and because the association tabled this resolution on the ground that the remnant present could not commit the absent brethren, another tardy resolution pledging sup port to the Governor in the revaluation program J ikewiso failed of passage.

Mrs. Fairbrotbcr bad hardly concluded before the storm broke. H. B..Vsrv was against suffrage . completely. W. C. . Hamer, who admitted seeing; the handwriting on the wall, declared that, politically, he was for suffrage, and saw no moral objections to it. Both bo and Vsrner were united ia the con tention that an undue advantage would be taken of the absent members by the handful present, should the ramp con vention take a rote. About this time it ceased to be a debark. Everybody tppeared anxious is get in a word at once. Th question became mixed aad several votes were started on the motion to table.' When it was over President Sharps announced that the motion to tabl had prevailed by 9 to 6. 'Tin ery sorry," said Mra. Fair brother. "I merely wanted to find out how you -gentlemen atood. I thought surely ' there would be bo member ef the press association unwilling to com mit himself on one aids or the other. I didn't mean to embarrass you, gentle men.

Then h offered hi resolu tion. . Immediately it -was pointed out that the association had committed itself against resolutions. .H. B. Varner took his old stand. ' He was fer the resolu tion backing th Governor, but . didn't want to impose on .the members who had gone. . W, C. Hamer felt th same way about it. Gait Braxton mad aa impassioned little speech for his pet. Then everybody got to talking again, while the president stood helpless. Editors Endorse Reselstioa. It was W. C.
