AND RANDLBMAN NEWS. VOL. 10. ASHBORO, N. Cs WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1914. NO. 24 LME DUCKS AGGRAVATE , THEIR MAIMED ESTATE Glenn and Gardner Fought Fero ciously, it is Said Hot Words Admitted SUFFRAGE AND PiROHI- (MEXICAN TROUBLE MAY BITION TO BE VOTED ON 1 AGAIN BE ENCOUNTERED Congressmen Must Take Stand on the National Issues at This Session According to the story that come down from Washington to the Sunday papers in this State Jiwas not well at one time with the two members of the Interna tional Joint highway commission ..the much heralded "lame duck" bodyRobert B. Glenn, of North Carolina and Obediah Gardner of Maine, and rumors of words a right, in fact flew fast and thick in Congressional circles in Washington. Tl e report was that the two members of the commission, both hailng from prohibition states, have engaged in a heated argu ment over the liquor question, and before the discussion was endei blows were struck by both belligerents. The contest is said to have taken place in the suite of lvoms occupied by the corn mi?? on on the sixth floor of the Southern building in Washing. ton. Which one of the parties came out victorius was not es tabli ;hed. Both these gentlemen were interviewed' on the matter and denied that blows were passed, but admitted that words had flew 'ast and thick, but said they had mad e friends now. Mr. Gardner said: "I nagged the governor about his probibition lectures and told Mr. Glenn that if it .vas not for the money that he trot out of these prohibition talks he would not care as much for prohibition as he would for a cercelled two-eent stamp. The next day we differed over an opinion as to the size of a dam on some creek on the Canadian border, and hot words were pas seel. But we are good friends now." It was also reported that Mr Gardner charged that Governor Glenn had "pulled down $6,000 on the side" for his chautauqua lectures and had devoted littl time to the work of the commis sion. Mr. Gardner's chief fear seem ed to be based upon the ground that unless the commission put in more active work it would be abolished by Congress. In connection with the com mission 'the lame duck roost" it is interesting to not that the recent appointment of Man ton M. Wyvell, upon recommen dation of Secretary Bryan, as counsel for the commission, has mt the disaDoroval of both (jov Clenn and Senator Gard ner. Both men claim that there was no authority under the law for the appointment ot Wyven and there is no need for his services.
