Moat of the legialation that the lead
en expect to encompass during the
leuloa hai been carefully groomed in
committee, oiled and greased, and will
be ready for the final reading with a
minimum of friction oa the floor, by
the time the committees finish their la
bor tonight. Other minor legislation,
of loeal import only, will likely pass
without much oratorical ado.,, .
Ressen for Hsete
Ordinarily there would probably be
no haste among the members to quit
themselves of Raleigh and return to
their native heath. But thiaiime three
is a storm gathering on the horizon,
and many believe that if they hurry,
they can get safely out of Baleigh
withuot getting caught in the squall.
The storm, of coarse, is wrapped up in
the uffragf amendment.
Tennessee-beWa th key lt
st ion. Suffragists in the State nave
elected to wait until the aolons across
ths Great Smoky Mountains make up
their minds, about suffrage before
'launching the fight here. Tar Heel leg
islators opposed to suffrage, and those
. who have' not made un their minds
about it and theoe, it is believed, com
pose a majority are hoping that noth
iifg will happeu to hasten Tennwee in
her disposition of the matter. If they
can get home, nobqdy, will; call "them
back if a water State should turn a deaf
enr to the pleadings of th women for
-the prtvilef tvotipg. T f--'"
Wherefore . there will- bo .haste in
North -Carolina. - Thin- afternoon the
finance and constitutional committees
will put fiuishing touches to the re
valuation legislation, and Wednesday
morning it will. be presented in both
houses. Hopes are expressed that it
rill be disposed of before the eid of
the weekand neit week, sundry ether
matters, legislation against the cattle
tick, for instance, can be taken up, and
by the end of that period adjournment
should be in sight.
That is. of course, if Tennesse
doesn't ratify.

ASKS DEMOCRATS TO
STAND BY PLATFORM
Sr. Clar Ace, Poe, president of the.
North ' Carolina Farmers' Convention
aad editor of the Progressiva Farmer,
ia statement mado publie yesterday
call on North Carolina General Assem
bly to ratify Federal suffrage amend
ment in accordance with th mandate
of party a contained in both State and
National platform.
SUFFRAGE REFUSED
Dr. Clarence Poe Declares Re
pudiation of Platform Means -Party
Anarchy
- Dr.-Clarence Pee president of the
State Farmers' Convention and presi
dent and editor of the Progressive
Farmer, declare! that failure on the
part of the North Carolina legislature
to ratify the suffrage amendment after
form have committed the party to a
policy of ratification would result hi
nothing lens than party anarchy aa well
as part-dishonor. " Mr. Po expresses
his views as .follows t
Thtre U, of course, no need to re
peat at this time the argument for
woman suffrage. At what point ia our
publie life will; we suffer by having
women participate in ,. publie - affairs f
Certainly in matter that affect 'child-
hood; the home, the tch'oot; publie health, 1
pabli morale, international peace, tc.
w shall be th gainer ; and at no point
that I can think of shall w b the
losers. Ever ' since I made a trip
through the West several year ago and
found the bitterness with which th
broweiy interest in Wisconsin and th
rice interests in Ch'cago were (fighting
woman suffrage, I have been convinced
that what they opposed was a good
thing for m to support. '
"I feel now, however, that we have
passed tho stage of discussing these
features of the situation. Th issue hn
really become one of unusual implicity.
"This is a . Democratic legislature.
The Democratic State and National plat
form commit the -party to a policy of
ratification. No other argument should
b necessary. r "".
"If owe you a certain amount of
money and have givea you my Bote
for it, there ahould be no question
about by paying it. Just a litul
question should there be about the pay
ment of an official promissory . note
given by a great political party.
"From time immemorial, the platform
of party haa een regarded aa-it
most solemn pledge and word of honor.
If a party doe aot regard it plat
form, what will count with itf For-
what can it be depended onf What
dishonor f It ia lynch law, pure
and simple. .
i "Suppose the North Carolina I Jem
ocratic legislature, arter the State plat
form, with official delegate from North
platform haa specifically called oa North
Carolina to ratify, should repudiate thia
doubly-giver "pledger what irouId br
th result! What else could be the re
sult except that opponent of Cox and
Roosevelt, and of all Democratic candi
dates in other State would simply point
to North Carolina ana say: "Usually
- have atleast
to wait until after
an election to find out" whether of not
a nartv can be trusted. Not so thia
year
The National Democratic plat
form 'with official delegate from North
Carolina sitting and consenting, specifi
cally declare for ratification in North
Carolina. If a party in-. the. beat of
National campaign, with the eye of th
nation upon It, deliberately ignore it
platform, what might it not b x
pected to do after election f
"It ie true that tne EepubHeaa
National platform express the 'hop'
that certain other Republican legis
latures, without naming them, wilKvot
for ratification. Bus th Democratic
platform ia far mor pecifie and
expressly urge 'the Democratic gover
nors and legislatures of Tennessee,
North Carolina aad Florida by name
toTntify. i Cox and Boosevelt will have
t elos enough contest for victory even
under th mfiet favorable oircomstanee.
Tnr North Carolina Democratic legis
lature to refuse th on specific act of
helpfulness it. i1 called on to render,
will be as calamitous as it ' will be, in
the long run, ineffectual.' i
"As Henator Simmons has so con
cisely put it, it is no longer a quettian
of whether we will r will aot hat
woman suffrage; it ia only a question
of whether we will have it Una year or
next. So for th North Carolina legis
lature it is no , longer a questioa of
whether it willor will not have woman
suffrage, It is only a question as to
whether-it will have it thia year and
help elect Cos and Roosevelt or, merely
poetpn it a few month aad by ao
doing do all that th Democra'ae party
i North Carolina can do to stab. and
hamstring hi national ieader-an4 the
important cause they repreyat.n .

th Governor speech ha been thor

jubilant One of the leader saya Cox
is a fighter like Colonel Roosevelt. Hi
word read mora like the Colonel's than
they do like th words of any ' other
man who. was aver, nominated for th
Presidency, . , 'v
The general verdict of th Republi
cans is, of course, that the speech is a
flat surrender to the President, but ther

speech is proof positive that tha fight
on their handa Is a much bigger and
mor dangerous struggle thaa they' had
dreamed of when they nominated Hard

Becielary Colbyy-whopeafca--for-the4

even more thaa he had expected.
Secretary Daniel declared the speech

praised tne speech ta superlative -terms.
Secretary. Colby say h took an" the
speech to read it with entire eon fid -nee
that it waa all that he expected but
that bis interest, and admiration grew
with every paragraph and when he had
finished hia feeling had become one of
deep and solid aatufactioa. He save
thi is vastly more thaa can be aaid
of another acceptance speech that he
has recently read. H declare th Gov

Dr. Oscar Haywood in Timely
Sermon Says One Must

"ffci of tM strongest Mows for rati

ment wa delivered from the pulpit of
tha Tabernacle Baptist Chureh yester
day anoramg, when Dr. Oscar Haywood,
evangelist of Calvary . Baptist Church,
New lorg, declared- to hia congregation
that woman suffrage must either destroy
radical ism in the United States, or,
along with the other advanced thought
of the age, be swallowed op in the vari
ou ism and form of anarchy tramp
ing in th wake of a world war."
In a dramatic peroration of a finished
sermon based on tho question asked of
Christ by- the young mam "What shall
I do to gain eternal lifef Dr. Hay
wood, withholding his own conviction
respecting th foremost political issue
of the day,- pointed, to the judgment of
Theodore Boosevelt and Woodrow Wil
son, and left his auditors to infer that
conclusions reached by such statesmen
might well bs written into fact by the
Legislature of North Carolina
- - Jadment f Leader
The judgment of Roosevelt and Wil
son, analysed by Dr. Haywood, had
birth in the realisation that the women
of America must be brought to the
rescue from radicalism which, having
penetrated th industrial walls of the
country, is now atriking at the foun
dations of ths home. Let the women
vote, reasoned Boosevelt and Wilson
and save America from the black eloud
of anarchy which hovers over the coun
try. '
Dr. Haywood, who has for the past
ihree summers supplied (he pulpit st
thi Tabernacle Church during the vaca
tion period of the pastor, while spend
ing hia own vacation at hia home in
MU Gllead, always draws u aixable and
appreciative congregation. ' Yesterday
there were among bis hearera several
members of the General Asambly, in
eluding the ''Grand Old Man" of the
House, Governor Doughton. The Gov
ernor and Mrs. Blckett, with whom Dr.
Haywood is stopping while in Raleigh (

The incompleteness of life without
th surrender of besetting treasure
was th base of Dr. Haywood s- sermon
HU text was from St. Matthew 19-10:
"And behold, one came and mid unto
him, Good Waiter, what good thing shall
I do that I may havs eternal life t'
The hidebusness of death minus the
abundant life at a time -when there
was never so much health In the world
be defined as the abandon ol an ex
plorer treading the outer shoals of the
oul."
Sharp censure of the church for Its
costly adherence to form and rule
mon punctuated freely with pointed
comment en thingj as they are today.
Particularly striking was his picture of
Sabbath morning worship in a mining
field, in sharp, contrnst with th rigid
ceremony of the modern church.
He imagined for his congregation a
Scotch lad suggesting to his compan
ions a aimpl service on Sunday morn
ing. Into his word picture h painted
thn lad calling upon one of his mates
to read a chapter from The Bonis;
on another to lead "Jesus Lover of My
Soul," and st the end tha lad drawing
from box a cracker to break "in memt
