Although Monday will be a day of
whirlwind finishes, the 1920 eampaiga
to determine the political complexion of
the nation, State, and. county virtually

Democratic Stats Chairman, faces elec

"The amendments," Mr. Warren said
"will be carried, in my judgment, as in
right and justice they ought to be."
Altogether, the eampaiga just clos

roseate promises of Chairman Will

in all of his speeches, Mr. Harding
emphasised hia atand on domestic is

that it was the "confidence" of the na

that the methods of his party in the
campaign had been free from sectional
or class appeal.
Nothing He'e Ashamed Of.
"There isn't anything that bss hap

It was the Pepubliean nominee's first

Durham, Oct. 30. Tonight marked
the ead of Governor Biekett'a cam
paign for the completion ef the Ad
ministration's tax reform measures by
ths ratification of tha tax amendment
when ho held a thousand people gath
ered in the Auditorium under the spoil
of his oratory for nearly two hoars.
It was the last political speech that
he will deliver before tho expiration
of hia term as Governor ia January.
It waa a typical Bickett speech,
sometimes whimsical in its humor,
sometimes dramatis in ita appeal,
sometime moving his hearers to tears
by its pathos, sometimes overwhelming
in its eloquence sad always absorb
ingly interesting. The Governor didat
think that he bad doss quite as well
as he has done other sights this week,
but not one in the audience but waa
willing to declare that it was ths beat
that they had ever heard him do.
Wins Amend meat Cataverts.
At any rat it was eoavindng, aad
many who had been bittereaders
against the income tax amendment has
tened to ths wlagl sr tha stags alter'
warda to assure him that be hsd won
them over, and that the proposal would
have their setivs support from sow until
they beeria counting the votes at sua
dowa Tuesdsy. He had speat ths day
here going through tax books and such
like records, and he had figures takoa
right ia the city to convince anybody
that tho taxation reform was what it
set out to be the making of the tax
books to speak the truth, aad ths plac
ing of the burden of taxacioa where
tt nncrht in be.
The Governor didn't scold anybody
for being against ths amendment He
did tell ths citizenry that there ia a
barb attached to the bait that is
throws out -by ths opponeats ef the
measure, aad that if they ' swallowed
it they could aot say to anybody that
they had not been warned. Hs Joked
a little about Joha J. Parke?, the
dreamer, and poured a broadside Into
Senator Harding and tha Bepublieaa
Senators generally. He mentioned the
"invisible empire," which J. W. Bailey
claims to be, only after be had mar
Ihalled the mea whs had . sponsored
ths amendment, aad over against them
simply ths nam ef ths collector of

he made of State politics. It came aft

of the tax reform movement ia North
