plcloos Circumstances:

Hear Them.
.
. . The malm auditorium of the First
Methodist Church was comfortably
seated last ?renins to hear Rev.
v- Luther B. Brtdgers and Professor R.
C. Bird, preach and sing. The sermon
was a strong, striking, searching
one Moth In substance and suggcatlreness
and left profound lmpres
wu these as Jesus "must pass
through Samaria," so he must needs
pass through Washington?that
there are tfejj?$?h? *"** Him
?that If they do not got His blessing
during this meeting they may
never have another opportunity. His
Illustrations of these great truths
were solemnly impressive. In fact
the discourse throughout was a moat
pathetic and powerful piea. Mr.
Bridgers and Prof. Bird are both
splendid vocalists. Their solos are
soul-stirring. Singing is made a signal
feature of the meeting. Wo
gladly give our readers the following
l appreciations:
V "Qod has given Rev U B. Bridgers
wonderful natural endowments.
1 have never hoard anybody who
oonld sing m goo pel aong with the
fervor and pathoe that he can put
into it. Also his preaching is excellent
and inspiring. Perhaps his
great power Ilea In the fact that he
haa suffered deeply and has borne
it so beautifully?Raymond Brewn1
ing, Evangelist."
Dr. Samuel Hatcher Ties'preyi^eplj
"Rev. LntheT Bridgers is the greatest
gospel singer I have ever beard."
It la sincerely desired that the
people of Washington may not ignore
the extraordinary opportunity
they providentially have in this meeting;
especially since It is so evidently
needed In the community. Morn?
ing services at t:30 to 10:30. Eve%
nlng services at 8 o'clock. For good
reason the next two evening services
will b eheld in the Presbyterian
'Church. , . . .

His Present Strength In the

And Still Gaining. ?\
CLARK Will BE NEXT NOMINEE
The Massachusetts VictoryExpected
to Be Duplicated
In Other States.
Special to the Dally News.
Washington, D. C., May 14.?
Speaker Clark's overwhelming vie
tory In Massachusetts and the unanimous
action of the Colorado Convention
in instructing for him has
praetlcally settled the contest for
the Democratic nomination.
Speaker Clark's positive strength
id the National Convention, at the
present time, is 469. while he is gaining
everywhere. He is the rfecond
choice of practically all the delegates
elected who are Instructed or favorable
to other candidates, so that his
ndha^nstion Is assured on the seoond
balloOvindeed he does not win on
the first batltotiL His cause Is gaining
such headway as to make It certain
that none of the other candidates
can catch him.
Deep satisfaction Is felt by Senator
Fred T. Dubois, the manager of
Speaker Clark's campaign, over the
result In Delewhre on April SOth,
where the Democratic State Convention
failed to instruct its delegates
to the National Nomlnatln vonvenjtion.
Governor Wilson's managers
| have insisted that Governor Wilson
would get these delegates end have
them sent to the Baltimore Conjentkrn
under binding pledge. Senator
Dubois has insisted that Speaker
there would be no instructions. Falltire
of the State tConventlon justifies
Senator Dubois in hiB statement today
that a part, if not all, of the
Delaware delegation will support
Speaker Clark In the National Convention.
"I feel that the results in Massachusetts
and Delaware fully sustain
me In my announced preference for
Speaker Clark as our candidate,"
said Representative Henry George.
Jr.. of New Vnrlr ?ai1?v 1?
tng on the fast sweeping sentiment
for the Speaker. "Only the most* decided
trend of public sentiment to
the Speaker can explain that Massachusetts
victory. The result show
that the masses of the people, the
working classes, have turned to him,
and without the votes o? the working
people no man can hope to be elected
President. I expect to see the victory
of the Speaker in Massachusetts
duplicated in other states where the
people have an opportunity to express
their preference."
SMALL TOO MUCH
FOR AURORA TEAM
Small and Aurora crossed bats
Wednesday. May 8, on?Small's diamond.
The score was 11 to 3 in
favor of Small. #
Aurora came with their usual confidential
smile and really gave our
boys an Interesting game until the;
sixth ihnlng when they went to!
the plcther not only going
hiarh in the sir even to home ram
bat between the fldlders feet and
through their gloves with such rapidity
that we ecored ? runs in the
sixth inning. Aurora tried^in vain
to collect their heads and arms, only
to permit a "merry go 'round."
The features of the game were:
the. twirling of Small's little pitcher,
Beach era. who had them completely
at his mercy permitting only
S scattering hits. It was really amusing
to see them pdlllng at hit wide
benders and declaring that tbey
could not find the right bet.
Also the home ran of Holldla deserves
special attention.
Our boys were very cool daring
the entire game.

L J. MAXWELL FOR ..
CORPORATION COMMISSIONERJ
o
V"1 ii
r The most important addition to
our State Government within the last
twenty-five years is the Corporation 1
Commission?first known as the Rail v
road Tax Commission. That the 1
functions of the original Com mission i
were soon extended to Include corporations
and taxation (for it is also
the State Tax Commission >. and that t
Its powers were accordingly broad- 3
ened. is the best evidence of the poo- c
pie's appreciation of the institution. 1
As now constituted, the Commission
is charged with the duty of regulating
interstate railroad affairs. i
public-service corporations, supervis- 1
Ion of State banks, and the equaliza- h
tion of taxation, functions embracing 1
a domain broader than that of atiy 1
other one department of our State (
Government. It Is in the largest
sense a tribunal of justice, before
which the rights of the people and s
the rights of the public-service corporations
are adjusted. It is at the j
same time a*tax assessing body, i
which fixes the valuation of stock In i
all corporations, and. In addition. It i
has general supervision of tax assess- |
ing In North Carolina. In its Nation- i
al relation it is the official means of .
protest on the part of North Carolina i
against interstate freight rate discriminations
against this state.
Our corporations must be assured i
that it is not set for destruction. Our
people must feel oqaullw assured i
that It will protect thirn in their
rights. All must understand that it
it a tribunal of justice?equal exact :
jostica; all must look to It with that
confidence and respect without which
any court of justice were better off i
did It not exist.
Such has been and such is and
suck must continue to be the task of
the Corporation Commission. i
The man equal to these tasks must
be a specialist, rather than a politic- i
lan; a student and a worker, as well
as ? courageous and a Just'man. And
It becomes the Democratic party in i
Worth Carolina, holding , the great <
trust that it does for the Common- l
wealth, to see to It that such a man i
is nominated in the approaching con- 1
station..
In A. J. Maxwell I present to the
Democratic voters such a ' man. It ]
happens that hs la an eastern man. ]
and that he Is a candidate to succeed
Mrl McNeil ,an eastern man. But
this is adt the argument for him. It i
