Sanford. N. C., May 29, 1930
DR. GULLEY IS
NOT DECEIVED.
Dr. Needham Y. Gulley has been
dean of the law school of Wake For
est College for thirty-six years. More
than 1,400 men and women have be
come licensed attorneys of this State
after sitting at his feet. For more
than thirty years Dr. Gulley has been
a citizen of Wake county, the native
and present home county of J. W.
Bailey, the man who is leading the
fight to punish .Senator Simmons with
repudiation by the people of North
Carolina, whom he has served in the
United States Senate for thirty years.
Mr. Bailey is himself one of the law
yers Dr. Gulley taught. This veter
an teacher of law has been active in
the affairs of Wake county for many
years and is at present one of the of
ficials of that county. He has spent
all his life in Wake and two adjoin
ing counties, namely, Johnston and
Franklin.
We give this record in detail be
fore making the statement that if any
man in North Carolina knows Mr.
Bailey and the political forces of
Wake county, that are backing Mr.
Bailey, Dr. Gulley Knows both him
and them.
Dr .Gulley is an honest man. He
is a fearless champion of men and
principles he believes are right. No
body questions his integrity or his
ability. And no one can success
^nil u mtoofion thp f aaF 1—" k« n
ij-comuu mfc ian. (.Hen. uc nas
had unsurpassed opportunity to in
form himself on the men and issues
involved in this senatorial campaign.
Dr. Gulley is not deceived. In his
great radio address in Winston-Salem
recently he stressed prohibition as
the paramount issue between Simmons
and Bailey as the one dominant issue
which divides the forces backing
Simmons and the forces backing
Bailey in this campaign.
This veteran citizen and leader of
Wake is thoroughly familiar with iSe
wet forces that are backing Bailey in
that county and in the city of Ra
leigh. He knows Mr. Bailey’s present
attitude toward those forces. He
knows Mr. Bailey’s real attitude to
ward National prohibition and the
Eighteenth Amendment. And he al
so knows the forces that are backing
Simmons and is well acquainted with
the veteran Senator’s record on pro
v Gulley has been in active public life
himself during this entire period.
Dr. Gulley was helping to lead the
forces of white supremacy when Mi.
Bailey was cynically slurring at that
life and death struggle in tftis com
monwealth. He was helping to lead
•the forces for State prohibition when
Mr. Bailey was opposing that reform.
And now Dr. Giiiley is on the firing
line again. He is fighting the same
unscrupulous and insidious foe today
that he was fighting in those oider
and more stirring times. He has not
changed. lie is standing where he
has always stood. } He is not deceiv
ed. And let no one else be deceiv
ed. The issue is the same through
out North Carolina as it is in Wake
county.
The same prinrinW that impel Dr.
Gulley to oppose Bailey and fight for
Simmons dn this campaign should and
will impel countless thousands of
other lifelong Democrats throughout
North Carolina. The future of the
Democratic party in this common
wealth is at stake today even as it
was in 1$98 and 1908.
•Or. Gulley knows that. He is in
this fight because he loves the Dem
ocratic party and cannot resist an
oportunity in such a crisis to help
save it from a leadership, which, in
the long run, can lead it nowhere ex
cept to defeat and disaster.

BAILEY’S NOMINATION
WOULD BE SURRENDER
TO THE WETS
Democratic Wets in Washington
from Northern States Are
Frank To Say That the Nom
ination of Bailey for Senator
-as Against Senatoi Simmons
Can Have No Other Meaning
at This Time Than the Com
plete Capitulation ot the Solid
South to the Smith-Rasksh
Faction of (he Party—What
ever North Carolina Demo
crats Do on ■ June 7th Will
Have p Tellins Effect on What
the Party Does in Alabama
and Texas Where the Same
Sort of Fight is Doing On.
(Washington Correspond*?!!:e»
Washington, Max 28.—It is now re
cognized in Washington that so t'ar as
the national Democratic party is con
cerned a great deal depends upon
whether the Democrats in North Caro
lina nominate Senator Simmons or J.
W. Bailey for the senate in the June
primary. It is well known here that
the Simmons-Bailey contest had a
good deal to do with President Hoo
ver’s selection of John J. Parker for
justice of the Supreme Court. The
White House was made to believe that
Judge Parker’s elevation at this psy
chological moment to the highest
court wou! 1 help to swing the seat
in the senate that Senator Simmons
now occupies to the Republicans in
North Carolina. But Judge Parker’s
rejection by the senate has had an
unfavorable reaction on the chances
of the Republicans in the state to
capture the senatorship.
But what now concerns Democratic
leaders is that the result of the battle
between Simmons and Bailey may be
come an important factor in deciding
the issue on which the Democratic
party may make its bid for the Pre
sidency Sn 1932. There is a tremen
dous struggle in the ranks of both
parties over the w\ t and drv issue.
In the Democratic party Governor
Rojur'ivelt of New. York is making a
rtrcnous effort to sidetrack prohibi
tion as an issue and make the fight
on the power trust but he may not
succeed for the wets have been much
encouraged by a number of recent
The wets have succeeded in getting
their side of the issue before the coun
try through congressional hearings,
lobby investigations and the Literary
Digest poll. The senate lobby investi
gations show that the wets are col
lecting and expending huge sums of
money for propaganda and other
means for influencing the public mind
in order to capture congress and
eventually repeal the 18th amend
investi gallons have shown that
Anti-Saloon League, the chief agency
of the dry forces has found it harder
and harder to get the necessary funds
to conduct its campaign.
The Literary Digest poll has had
no little to do in encouraging men
like Dwight W. Morrow, of New Jer
sey, to come out flatfooted for the
repeal of the 18th amendment. It em
boldened the wets to stage a state
and senatorial ticket in Pennsylvania
and although the Republicans nomina
ted a bone dry in the person of Gif
ford Pinchot for governor, the wets
will probably put an independent
ticket for governor in the Novemher
election. The Republicans in the Paci
fic coast state of Washington in their
state convention on Saturday of last
week went on record for the repeal
cl. the 18th amendment That is the
first state west of the Mississippi in
fchich G. O. P. has gone on record as
favoring the wets. Tfte party in othef
states is expected to act likewise.
As everyone knows the national
Democratic party in its convention
at Houston two years ago was captur
ed by the wets. It put a dry plank in
its platform but before the convention
could sdjrurr convention candi
oawe ior rros-iicnt repudiated the
plank. Tne repudiation of that plank
drove four of thp states of the Demo
cratic Solid .South for the time being
into tne Republican party, among
them North Carolina.
Senator Simmons was the outstand
ing leader of the insurgent drys of
Liic paity in that struggle and he re
mains the outstanding insurgent lea
der for the struggle of the drys to
prevent the party Irom repeating the
fatal blunder of 1928 for the battle
10 now on in all ox its fury' and white
heat as to whether the wets or drys
shall ultimately control the destiny
of the Democratic party and the cen
ter oi tne battle field is righ now in
North Carolina.
Make no mistake about the fact.
Mr. Bailey may be as dry as a stone
in the desert. He may if elected a
senator, vote in the senate to uphold
prohibition, but his nomination £y
the Democrats in the primary for
senator means only one thing for his
party, and that is, that it has surren
dered tc tne wets in tneir national or
ganization and control of the party.
Democratic wets here from North
ern states are frank to say that the
nomination of Mr. Bailey for senator
as against Senator Simmons can have
no other meaning at this time than
the complete capitulation of the Solid
South to tne Smith-Raskob faction of
the party. Whatever North Carolina
Democrats do on June 7th will have
a telling effect on, what the party
does in Alabama and Texas where the
same sort of fight is going on. The
result of the Tar Heel primary -vrill
influence the course of the party
throughout the South and if Mr. Bai
ley is nominated it will put new Ufe
fja<*tlnn of fJw* party in
.1
the North. On the other hand if the
senator is chosen there wtU be no ab
ject surrender of the Soiith to the
wets at the next Democratic National
Convention.
According to the poll of the Liter
ary Digest North Carolina is one cf
the five dryest states in the country.
Four of these five states, North
Carolina, Tennessee. Arkansas and
Oklahoma are D moeratic and a ma
jority of the other states having dr>
pluralities are Democratic. Accord
ing to the poll of the states the Demo
crats are dryer than are their op
ponents and had the Democratic South
sat firm in the saddle the wets novel
ci u!d have controlled the party and
made the showing the pod appears
to give them.
any certainty what will be the upper
most political i.-*3ue two years hence,
li half of what the stanchest oppon
ents of the Smoot-Hawley tariff pre
dict will be its effect—that is if the
bill is passed and this week wil pro
bably decide its fate—the pockets of
the consumers may be so rifled that
they will forget booze. But prohibi
tion is now the only issue the people
are really interested in and what is
more the Republicans are now fast
coming to realize that their party may
be as badly split on prohibition as
are the Democrats. The division in
both parties may cause a complete
realignment ol the parties w'ithin the
next two years. Politically events are
moving much faster than the man in
the street is aware of.
SENATOR SIMMONS THE
FARMERS' FRIEND
There has never been a piece of
legislation presented before Congress
in the past thirty years favorable to
the interest of the farmer that did not
find Senator Simmons working for it,
coting for it. Every agricultural
bill recognized by the farm leaders of
the South as being calculated or de
signed to aid or promote the welfare
}f the North Carolina farmers was
•hampioned by Senator Simmons in
the United States Senated.
Senator Simmons’ interest in the
?armers of his State has continued
iown to datp. No longer ago than
.he fall of 1929 when the tobacco
narket was pitifully depressed and
he farmers of North Carolina were
:rying aloud in their great distress
>ver the fact that tobacco prices were
shot to pices, Senator Simmons, with
;tatesmaniike courage, risking the dia
>leasure of those w’ho might have
>rofited by such distressing con
liticns, caled for conferences between
he tobacco growers and manufactu
rers and presented the appalling condi
ions so forcibly that the justice of
ne uemancis oi tne iarmers ol this
state were promptly recognized. To
bacco prices quickly advanced, not un
reasonably so, but sufficiently to en
able the farmers of this State to real
ize the great work that had been done
large numbers of famiers in the
South were unahle, by reason of the
low cotton prices and had c^pps of
tlje previous year, to pay their in
debtedness and buy fertilizer for the
crop year of 1930 .Senator Simmons
succeeded in getting an appropriation
of eix million dollars for advance
ments with which to buy fertilizer
and seed. j
The foregoing two instances are
only illustrative of Senator .Simmons’
promptness in rising always to the
defense of the farming class.
12.000 GALLONS OF
LIQUOR DESTROYED
IN HAMLET
Rockingham, May 23.—-Whiskey i
with a potential value of around !
$250,000, which was seized Thursday I
on the Seaboard Air Line freight
yards at Hamlet by Sheriff J. S. Bras )
_ . , . t
weii, tms maramg was consigned to !
flames and destroyed. I
The whiskey was shipped in two <
Seaboard freight cars, with more than :
5.000 gallons estimated in each car. j
Itu. was loaded on a siding about 16
miles from Charleston and billed to j
Brooklyn. The contents were listed \
on the bill of lading as moulder’s ciay
and weight given lor each car at 66,
000 pounds. This, at 11 pounds to the
gallon, would make the seizure nearer
12.000 gallons than 10,000.
Deputy Sheriff Lawrence McLean
for some reason “smelled a rat” Thurs ;
day and notified Sheriff Braswell of
his suspicions. A search warrant was
secured and the two cars opened. At i
the entrance of the cars were piled '
big sacks of moulder’s clay—and af- j
ter thes'e were removed, there was j
disclosed hundreds of cases of bottled !
in bond whiskey, each case neatly j
packed in gunny sacks. ,Six quarts
and 121 pints were said to be in each j
case, the bottles bearing a label “Made I
in Montreal.” The name of the whis- j
key w'as ‘4Golden Wedding.” j
The officers sealed the cars, set a !
guard over them for the night and I
this morning proceeded with the work 1
of destruction. The cars were shifted |
to a siding on a steep fill, a huge
fire made at the bottom and the cases !
dumped on to this fire and consumed. !
Gathered around with watery
mouths and hungry eyes ^vere scores
of spectators viewing the onslaught
and slaughter—and consumption by
fire of around 10,000 gallons of whis
key which in the course of business
would probably have sold for a quar
ter of a million dollars in Brooklyn j
and New York.

READ again the familiar message on
the back of (he Camel package, .... .
Camel, introduced in 1913, when
other cigarette brands were offering all
sorts of premiums and similar induce
ments, jumped into leadership solely
on the basis of its built-in goodness.
That statement, spread throughout
die world each day on millions upon
millions of Camel packages, stands
as your guarantee of the maximum in
smoke pleasure. It reaffirms on every
package of Camels the steadfast aim
to give smokers a cigarette in which
every possible bit of the cost is put
into real smoke-quality.
The delightful, natural fragrance of
Camel’s choicer tobaccos, combined
in the smooth, mellow harmony of
a blend beyond imitation—that’s what
made Camel the world’s - foremost
cigarette—and keeps it just that.
Don’t deny yourself the luxury of
