Cenator Clapp lead off, in an hour's discussion of national politics.. He :s a typical westerner, of ponderous pro portions, and a man of force and pow er. He mode a good impression on the pef9le, and showed uo the alleged vacillating policy of President Wilson, and the Democratic administration to the delight of Republicans. ' Hallet Ward pleased the Democra tic contingency in the audience in a speech of an hour, but' in answering j the speech of Senator Clapp, on na tional issues, did not get far into state politics.

There is no man in public or private life in North (Carolina who is better posted than Walter Murphy, and es pecially on political history, and h's speeches are always listened to wit'- rapt attention and credence placed in what he has to say.
