Rw. Tnm P. .Timlann via. tor Of Grace M. E. church, South, yee terday afternoon formerly entered the contest tor tbe office of mayor of Winston-Salem. Mr. Jimlson has de cided to make the race as an inde pendent. He win not be in the pri mary. Mr. Jimlson sets forth ln his declaration of prlnolples ln tbe oam. palgn strong advocacy of liberal ' pol icies towards educational activities: extension of public welfare, close su- prevision of public service corpora tions, larger development of public health service, and other Isseus. His platform in full, as given out by him yesterday is as follows: ; Solicited By Many. "Having been solicited by hundreds of voters, both men and women, to enter the contest1 for mayor, I have decided to toafci my headgear' into the ring, since 1 have been urged by peo ple of til shades of political persua sion, And" since-It la toe late to get the independent Democrats lined1 up for . the approaching' primary, I am running absolutely independent, and Invite all.oltisens who are not satisfied with the present administration to cast their vote for me In the eity election May 3rd. That all people may know where I stand on the questions confronting nit at this time I state my position as follows: - '- Education.' -'1 am in favor of an , adequate edu cational program for the city regard less Of COSU . -.: .' . - "The department of public welfare should be extended to 'meet the needs of the city and satisfy, the demands of the State law. -,,.,- . . "The ' city attorneyship should be held by a lawyer who is free from "entangling alliances" with the big corporations that are likely at any time to be rivals or competitors .of the city itself. .- 'The city should more closely su pervise the public service corporations doing business within our borders. The ice companies should be forced to sell ice by ths pound, and the street car company should be forced to obey the State law ln regard to the segregation . of the races. This should be done ln Justice to both whites and negroes. Publlo Health. "The department of public health ought to be maintained and Its work extended wherever possible. "There should be no sort of sec recy in the conduct of the city gov ernment. I stand for "open covenants openly arrived at," and am for taking the publlo Into confidence In all mat ters affecting ths city. 'The departments that are not be ing operated to the satisfaction of the public should be reorganised, and all should be run in such manner that the humblest ettlsen will be accorded the same treatment as the richest and most powerful. . ' - Snnday lows. "Our Sunday laws are ridiculously hypocritical. Under the pretense of Sabbath observance we have made it unlawful for a drug store to sell a glass of lemonade or a dish of ice (Continued on Page Nine) said, '"will extinguish the light of .hope and progress throughout the world. You have bore today plenty of speakers and rulers, but what you want Is the decent immigration to cultivate the earth.1 Under your re striction plan no one may eome here after, unless hs Is a sslior, a soldier, a potential statesman, or a scholar and a gentleman," - ' Denounces Bill. Representative Seigel charged that propagandists and skillful agitators had done much to bring about the bill. He denounced the provision In ths bill basing the I per cent admissions on the J10 census rather than that Of 1120. The houke was told by Representa tive Sabath that persons fleeing from political and " religious oppression could not be admitted to the United states under ths bll! t presented, each persons, hs Insul saould be permitted to seek refuge i Mr. London said the measure would "strike at the very people we went to war to emancipate" and charged that ths bill was an expression of pre judice.

The employing print- era association and the Typographical union nave both spoken what they declare is the last word on the propo sition of increasing the wage scale to M for day work and $47 for night work and of reducing the number of hours from forty-eight to forty-four per week. ' . Tbe printers gave the employers until the first of May to come to some decision on their ultimatum, and the Raleigh firms who have all of the State printing contracts have given out a statement in which they de clare they are unable to meet the de mands of the printers.
