Aa for himaelf, he had been named in a pri mary in whieh he drew aupport from every political faction ' of the Demo cratie party in the State, he declared. ' It wai a good day for apeaking. though hot, and the Democratie stand- ard bearer waa ia fine trim. Be wanted to visit until the General Assembly finished ita work before opening hia campaign, he eoid, but couldn't resist the opportunity to addreaa another Democratie county convention in Jferth Carolina.; For that reason, he wouldn't discuss 8tate' issues, be ex plained; though he sincerely believed that before the Legislator got through the Republics ne would be shown to he a bigger eel of liare than ver be fore.

The old State ia rich, he said, and he felt that such a course as followed by New New Jersey and New York would work out all right here. Welcomes Women Voters, The Democratie candidate arrived la Burlington early today and was taken to a family reunion at the park. This was a gathering of the celebrated Thomas family, whose grent-great grand father, known as the "White Pilfcrim" because of his white elothing, rode this section many decades ago preaching ths gospel. Morrison preached democracy todny to the several hundred there assembled aad incidentally reminded the women present that they have the ballot now and urged them to vote in the coming election. He had been sincerely op posed to suffrage and didn't believe the majority of the women of North Caro lina wanted to vote but whatever hia -beliefs might ''have been or whatever I the majority of the 'men of North Carolina may have thought, the Demo cratic candidate told them it made no differeace bow. Tennessee a action had Battled the question for the nation. The candidate cheerfully .admitted that he had gone down in defeat on this issue but he had no apologies to make, as be did not believe ia trying to get n the bandwagon because he isn't built that way. He cheerfully bowed to the inevitable and was confident that the good women would be as good Dem ocrats aa the men and that there woald be more of them in North Carolina. Mr. Morrison waa accorded the honor of opening the county, convention after Mr. Elmer Long had called it to order and introduced him as the "next gover Bor of North Carolina." In spite of a matched game of baseball to decide the county championship and the fact that many farmer were kept at home bo unce of their tobacco, the courthouse - was filled with aa audience of Alamancel Democrats. Fin Opening Shot. Thanking hia Alamance friends for their support, Mr. Morrison fired a broadside at Parker's declaration as to the "Simmons-Watt machine." In 44 counties of the Bute, Mr- Morrison said the "organisation1 had supported him while in 64 eountiee the "organ iration" -had supported Mr. Gardner. He . had drawn support' from Simmons 'men. Kltchia men, business men, manufactur ers, doctors, lawyers, preachers and ao had Mr. Gardner. With groat unanimity th labor leader of the State-had sup. ported him, said Mr Morrison, and to one and all he waa slneorely grcitefal. Never before had there been such a mixture of factions and for a Butler Morehead lieutenant to be broadcasting foolish charge of maohlne support around over the Stat waa abeurd. , Butler had aearehed the Stat from ad to and to find decent men to nominate, bat they were not to be had, but Parker bad been willing to be led and had been given th plum.

SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST 22. 1920 JUSTICE BATTLE OVER RAILROAD RATES REOPEMED Question of Fixing Intra-State Passenger Hates By Legislation SHEPHERD MEASURES' - HEARD IN COMMITTEE One Bill Proridet That Oorpo ration . Commission B Zm powered To Sender Decision On Petition and The Other Withholds It; Committee Will Report Monday Eons Bills 188 aad 400. both intra ouoed by Representative 8. B, Shepherd, of Wake, the. first conferring upon the Corporation Commission authority and rower to dispose of th pending petition of th railroads for an increase in in- tra-stat passenger rate, and th e- end prohibiting any increase in either freight or passenger rat until tb Com' mission investigates and makes its re port to th January Legislature, were heard by the Joint Railroad committee yesterday afternoon. Report was de ferred until tomorrow night at 7:15. Legislative actio is deemed aeces sary to deal with the petition by th carriers for aa increased rate, since the General Assembly has never delegated th power to fix passenger rate to th Corporation Commiaaion. Th railroads filed a petition with the Commission at the tune the Inter ' State Commerce Commission was asked for an increase jb inter-state rates. The petition as to freight rates comes up for a hearing before th corporation commission to morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Th railroad were represented t th committee hearing yesterday by W. It. Etanley, general counsel, and Murray Allen, local counsel, of the Seaboard Air Line. Suppporters of the second measure, represented by Colonel Albert Cox, chief counsel for th North Caro lina Traffic Assoeistion. Several mem bers of th Association, including M. R. Beaman, secretary and treasurer, wer present at th hearing. A. J, Maxwell, of the Corporation Commis sion, at th Committee' request, out lined the views of th Commission. Shepksrd's Two Bills. ' Th first measure, Mr. Bhepherd ex plained, waa submitted to the General Assembly by request. H offered them both to th Committee without preju- 1 die. He, with Senator "Wright, of Bo- wan, preeuien jumwj i niw ncynu. The first speaker was Mr. Alloa, follow ed br Mr. Stanley, Colonel Cox and Mr. Maxwell. Th committee then went into executive session. The strained circumstance of. th tailroads, th fact that th later State Corporation Commiaaion had granted aa exhaustive Investigation, were pointed out by Mr. Alloa and Mr. Stanley. The latter hoped that th General Assembly would see fit to leav th matter in the1 hand of tb Corporation Commission, and indicated that if relief were denied, th railroads would likely appeal to th Interstate Commerce Commission. Speaking for th second Shepherd bill, which had been amended to make the Corporation Commission the investi gating agent instead of a specially ap pointed commission, Colonel Cox de clared that there was no immediate reeessity for granting the demands of th railroads, and that there is no right t. the proposal to delegate to the Cor poration Commission the power to fix psasenger rates, whieh has always been retained by the General Assembly. Mr. Maxwell Speaks Speaking for the Corporation Cora- mission, Mr. Maxwell said that if th committee could find a way, in keeping with the highest interest of th peo pi ef .th Stat to relieve the Com mission of th responsibility, that the Commission would have no complaint to make. Be presented the view, how ever, tht it would be unfortunate at this time to involve the State in an tagbnism with th transportation com panies which would, necessarily result from an effort to maintain existing rates after the inter-State rate had been increased by the Interstate Com mere Commission 25 per cent. There ia pending at the present time, h pointed out, a proceeding be fore that body of the greatest import ance to th Stat and a decision now hanging la tha balane as to whether this eas will b r-opened for further hearing by that ' Commiaaion. Mr. Maxwell ddubted the wisdom of in volving the State in antagonism . with the 'Interstate Commerce Commission with respect to intra-state rates which would necessarily follow an effort to preserve them oa th old basis, while th Stat is dependent upon th Inter tat Commerce Commission to stand by its original order in that eas with it resulting benefit of tremendous importance to th State. Re-Opsns Old Fight Th Injection of th question of fix ing passenger rates by legislation rs opens th old Justice fight of 13 years at when th General Assembly fixed the .passenger fares at B cent per mil, and later compromised with the rail roads at I 1-3 cents. Kmce then the rates have stood at that figure until th Federal Railroad Administration ordered an advance during . the wsr which was protected by the provisions of tb transportation act until Septem ber 1, 1920. At peent under the transportation act, th nc if or m passenger - rate - all Over thi United Statesr inter state and intrastate, is fixed at S cents. Under tha decision handed down by th In terstate Commerce Commission in July th Interstate pastenger rat is fixtd at 3 6 eents per mile. , Uniform peti tions hav been filed in every State to bring th intra state rate up to the inter-itat rate.
