Thursday, May 24,192*5 c ma R t sketches of two out. standing presidential can jlA didates / Bv c. o. Small, Siler City.) In ore lacing what we shall say : n this article, it seems as if nation ; politics is chaotic just now. Each ' v brings out some new situation, r I will happen no one cnfely predict at this time. Both -arties have a large . conservative Voment which stands in the way of r-ogressive results. The south is by a are a conservative Democracy; nr ile the North is ruiled by the con native portion of the Republican v T *v. The West, which is more adical than the South or the North, “ij ] oSe patience with both political an is elected next president, con rjons in Washington will go on as are going. And the scandals a frauds which came about after ! will be condoned and passed ' r rg. If a Democrat is elected, the ministration will attempt to undo spy things in government, and will ,' e { terrible opposition. The truth the whole matter is, there is far \ ni harmony in both parties. Neith ,,arty can wash itself clean as •ir as great sums of money are spent 'to win the election. \ ere are some strong indications a- the Democratic party will cause ■i -.vide cleavage some where in its ; r ks. The sorrow of it all is that must have two outstanding par in this free government of ours, :"d one controlling all the time. It would be a terrible calamity to see t r. e National Democratic party face practical annihilation, or cease to be a party of opposition. But that can rot b«. for if it should so treat it* seif, another party will arise with democratic principles.. As a matter ~f fact, men may come and men nay go, but principles will continue to live. Frank O. Lowden Lowden is a good man, and *we believe that he is the best man the Xepublicans have. He was born on a farm in Minnesota about 68 years ago; hence he lived the life of a farmer’s son. He has always been since his public entry into life a lawyer, and taught law in a western University for a while. He served as governor of Illinois four years and gave the State a sound and whole some administration. Lowden should nave been nominated on the Repub lican ticket for the presidency in 3 920, and only one thing kept him from getting the nomination. It was said that too free use of money with tr.e Missouri delegation turned the tide towards a compromise candidate, and the compromise was made with Harding. Haring did not know* what to do with the place after his elec tion. His lack of political acumen and state craft is what caused all the trouble during the first part of his administration. Coolidge offered Lowden the am bassadorship to England, and he was tendered a place in his cabinet, but he refused each offer. He said that ne preferred to stay at home and work for the interest of farm relief. Lowden is not radical and further says: “If the people want me president, they will vote for me. If they do not, it will relieve me oi tne burden and responsibility of such a candidacy. The people know where I stand. Two things about Lowden do not inspire confidence with the working man and the farmer. He married into a millionaire family, his wife being the only daughter of Mr. Pullman of the Pullman car fame. Another thing, he has tremendous jand holdings in Illinois and is a “gentleman farmer.” The small dirt farmer —the real working farmer — does not take kindly to the gentle rr.an class of farmers. Frank Lowden is a man of big heart. While governor of Illinois, he could not bear to hear the pleas for pardons without manifesting his grief. And emotions are not weak ness, for emotions direct the life, far more than human intellect does. Without emotions a man is lifeless; ne is dead. Lowden likes the high tariff, that delightful road, the Re publicans are so very fond of trav elling. And the higher the better with Lowden. Os course, the Dem ocratic lawmakers will resent his *ariff, that delightful road the Re the final end of the tariff question Ts can not s°° just now, but Vance it was like stocking a stream •.us iisft that would devour all the other fish in the stream and then in ’urn eat each other up. If Lowden is elected, things will wag on ss they are. He will ride in his Pull man car and let the world go by. He has never replied to Borah’s ques ■ionaire about his stand on prohibi tion, but he says that prohibition is not the issue, and can not be made tre issue without damage to the party. Lowden has the backing of Mr. Mellon, who has so long been the entire administration.

C. man, Lowden is far in front of Hoo ver. Alfred Emanuel Smith About 56 years ago a little boy was born in a tenement building down uider the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. This boy is now known to us as A1 Smith. Like Lin coln and Jackson, he lay in no velvet cradle, but was cradled in poverty and reared in penury. ‘ When . the boy was 13 hi s father died, leaving Alfred with a mother and one sister to care for. As a laborer in a fish stall, he earned his little money to buy scanty food and clothing for his mother and sister. He is said to have been a thoughtful earnest boy. Os course, he gave up school when his father died, at the very time hig Young mind was ripening into its sturdiness and grasp for its learning. His name is now found on community programs in which . he took an active part as a child, and ;he loved to recite for the pe.ople | famous orations of great speakers. ! His training- in the great university • of nature has made him the most l astute leader in contemporary de ' mocraey. While working as a laborer, Smith ; was elected to the New York legisla ‘ ture. He served in this capacity j for 13 consecutive sessions. From ; 1911 to 1913 he served as a niem- I ber of the Factory Investigating -1 Committee, and was the direct cause , of putting laws on the statute books I of New York favoring poor working people, and more of them than had been passed for ten years before his time in , the legislature. Elihu Root said of him: “Os all men in the ' Constitutional Convention, Alfred E, i Smith is the best informed on the • business of the State of New York. 1 From the position of lawmaker Smith ' was elected Sheriff of New York i county. From that position he was 1 elected governor of New York four times and holds this high office to day. His official record is one of ’ high ideals and there is not a blot “ on that record. He failed to carry 1 out many reforms for his state be -5 cause he wa§ blocked each time by L ' l * !

In 1924 he was the only Dem- ’ ocrat on the ticket elected, and he was given the biggest vote ever given j to any man in any of our states for single office. This Tact speaks eloquently for him and for his firm grasp on his native state. One writer, a Republican, says he can see but one fault in Smith’s life ami that is he was born a Democrat. Had he been a Republican his party would elect him so fast as to cause him to gasp. If he would flatly re nounce his allegiance to his faith, there is nothing that could keep him out of the White House. If Moses were here now, we presume he would be objectionable to our people as chief executive, but they would still admire his ten commandments. And if Christ were here, he could rot turn water into wine without falling into the hands of Mr. Volstead. Some contend that the moneyed powers are afraid of Smith, and we suspect they should be if they de sire to still keep their hands in hon est people’s pockets. Judging by Smith’s record as governoT\of his State, he is a man who is not for j sale to insidious schemers in gov i ernment or out of government. If j the running of Smith causes a i break in the Democratic party, a j new party may come forth gathering i its strength from both parties, and | it may in the end give us better i government.
