SENATOR SIMMONS
AT ASHEBORO
Large and Enthusiastic Crowd of Randolph Demo
crats Attend Rally.
At the Democratic rally Saturday
night, Dr- S- A. Henley called the
meeting to order and asked Dr- F.
H. Wood, of Trinity, t0.take the
chair.
Dr- Wood expressed his apprecia
tion for the honor of presiding over
the meeting. He said he wa a na
tive of Randolph county, "to the
manner born," and that while he
was no politician, his fifty years as
a MethodiEt minister had not de
prived him of citizenship and the
right tQ erpre8s his opinion8 on
politics-
Dr- Wood said that, having re
tired from the active ministry, he
had returned to Randolph county
'o spend the remainder of his life
said that In the hous.3
where he had lived at old
Trinity, there were written on the
walls the name8 of F- M- Simmons
and Lee S- Overman; and that ever
since their graduation he had
watched with Interest . the careers!
of the8e two young men until they
were both United States Senator8-.
Dr. Wood expressed his belief
that a great wave of Democracy ,8uc'
as has never before been seen, is
now sweeping over the land. He
said that this is a good tjme for
those who have not been voting the
Democratic' ticket to come out of
the dark into the open, . and that
by so doing a man will feel better,
have more self-respect than ever
before, ard will do his country
arood.. Dr. Wood then gave place t0
