CALL FOR TROOPS MAY
YET BECOME NECESSARY

to Closeness of Vote; Troops
in Beadiness for -Lotion at
Asheville and Wayne-vine;
Board Will Meet Again on
Tuesday
Asheville, Nov. 6. The Bepublieaas
of Jackson county who on Thursday
and Friday refused to allow the eoonty
canvassing board to count the vote,
owing to the eloseneas ef the election,
crowded into Sylva again today in even
lcrger number according to reports
reaching here and the board was again
forced to adjourn. Thia adjournment
was taken until next Tuesday.
A prominent eitixen from Sylva here
today stated that the situation is ngly
and that th first call to Governor
Biekett oa Thursday for troop cent by
some person who got much, excited,
may turn out to be a real call aad it
may-be- aeeswary to send troops from
AsherUle or Wayaesville when the board
meets again on Tuesday.
The trouble started Thursday when
Walter Haynes, Aaheville attorney, ap
pearing in b-half of the Jackson Dem
ocrats, protested tha vote ia the Bar'
ker's Creek precinct.. The board met
and started the roll call and Hayae
entered his objection stating there waa
a contest ia that precinct which ie heav
ily Republican. George W. Satton. Re
publican attorney, answered Haynes
and is said to have caused the crowd
of Bopublicana to become greatly ex
cited. The board adjourned whea a
demonstration waa started and Hayae
waa forced to leave the town aad catch
a train several miles up the track.
Yesterday the board met again but
the Republicans were back in increased
cambers and owing to the attitude of
the crowd, th chairman adjourned
again until today. When.the board met
thia morning the crowd had grown still
larger and adjournment to Tuesday was
taken.
While apparently there has been lit
tle drinking it is reported from Sylva
that the general belief that there ia the
men are armed. The majority of them
are from Barker's Creek. J. M. Mason
is chairman ef the board and ia a Dcm
ocrat. He is aaid to be one of the moat
prominent men in the county, coming
from DiUaboro. He took the matter up
with Governor Biekett and the chief
executive told him not to hcaitata to call
for aid if he needed it.
There appears to bo no doubt from
the information from Sylva that the
crowd will start trouble Tuesday if th
board attempts to start th count and
it is against th Bepublieaas. Th
county race there ' ie eloa aad the
Barker Creek mea have stated that they
intend to see that their men are elected.

At St. Louis th greater part of the .

speeches during the day did Mr. Hard -ing
toueh directly on the issues of the
campaign, but he called several ef his
audiences o witness mas wh
preaching the earns doctrine bow aa
whea he was a candidate for erne.
When he referred, at Paris, jfilBoU'
to his campaigning, a lady l
crowd shouted, "It was a clean cnal.
paign," and he replied "Tea, you're
right, and on for, which wa need --
no apologies, ana srier ii is won sua ,
a majority of Americans have spoke
in favor of a well defined program
for our common country, then w
cease to be ia a general sense Bepub-
licana and Democrats but w are alt
Americans, for America.
While I have preached the gospel t
of party government, that is, govern- ,
mem tnr-ag uie -pv wrouip v y j,
I may tell you now ia the reflection ;
and sober thought of the artermata -that
I do not want my party to b
serving to keep Itself in power or to
perpetuate th place-holding t any
members, But I want my party t
serve America for th Amerieaa peo
ple."
Keecho Deeunatiea aieaaay.
In his other speeches, he repeated tha
thought in different language.
Because of the crowds th special train
fell behind time but railroad official A
thought a night run across Missouri '
would put it back on Ha schedule.
