Mr. C H. Julian, of Franklinville, Saggeate, "Zeb Vance Highway" Mr. C. H. Julian, of Franklinville. suggests- that the highway- from Ra leign to ' Asbeville be called the Zeb Vance Highway in' honor of the state's Civil War Governor. His let ter follows: The term (Jentral Highway as now often used in North Carolina is In the opinion of the writer a misnomer. A true central highway running from Kaleigh to Asheville should pass through the following towns: Cary, Pitts boro, Siler City, Ramseur, Frank linville, Asheboro, Lexington, Salis bury, Mocksville, Statesville, Newton, Hickory, Morganton and ' Marion. With the general improvement of the route running through these towns, which is now taking place, this is destined to be one of the most traveled routes in the State. .M naa . oeen sufi-treated tnat this route should be known as the Ashe- ville-Asheboro-Raleigh , Highway. . think Zev Vance Highway would 'i be a more fitting name. This great Mortn (Jarounian traveled from his birthplace in the mountains to Ra leigh and went by the shortest route. This is nroven bv his ar rival In the Chief Executive's office and the Governor's Mansion when barely 82 year of age.1 , x would lixe to . make the sug gestion that a bni be passed . by the next Legislature of North Carolina naming this direct route . Zeb Vance Highway, also that appropriate signs or markera. be placed along it from Axnevuie to Kaieign. i C. H. JULIAN. Franklin ville, N. a . BIRTHDAY DINNER FOR MRS, MARY J.

McAdoo's friends to- fight for a change in the rule reouirinr.a two-thirds veto in the Democratic nav Uenal ' convention to- nominate. n.Tb late Tammany chief was the strong est and moat implacable foe te : tho nomination - -of - .MeAdoo. . He rwaa counted upon by the anti-McAdoe ioreee to repeat the maneuver he ex ecuted at San Francisco in 1920 Jn the nomination of James M. Cox, His lever in that maneuver with the two thirds nileu - The two-thirds. rule has long been the basis of hope of minority and dark horse candidates in Democratic conventions. : The effect ef that -rale at the Baltimore convention in 1912 changed the course of human history throughout the world in all probabil ity. In most previous Democratic conventions it had been usual to nom inate the .man who had received , a majority of the votes but at , Baltimore-Champ Clark for whom , a de cisive majority of the convention had registered itself, was turned down for Wood row Wilson, and since his death the other day, Mr. Murphey, and not W. J. Bryan, is credited with having been the man who turned the convention . to Wilson. Whether that statement be histori cally true or not, the Murphey-Tag-gart Brennan wing of the party that defeated MeAdoo at San Francisco in 1920 and made Cox the standard bearer by means of the two-thirds rule, is now claiming that rule can not be abrogated at the approaching New York convention except by a vote of two-thirds of the delegates. ' On the Mother hand the Wilson wing of the party which nominated its can didate at Baltimore by means of the two-thirds rule, and the rank and file of which are MeAdoo men now, , ia claiming that the two-thirds role is only a; rule of the convention, that it -was made. by. a vote of a majority of the delegates like the other, rales and that each convention can change that rule by a majority of the dele gates .voting whenever , it so deeires. At the meeting of the Democratic national -committee in Washington in January, last,- the McAdoOiinen ; did not .urge: a ehiuige in the twotniida rule tar thtt-' then were ' confident their mididwtewoold be- o bsk turn twothirds of . the delegates - 'be-" fore the eonventipn met. But connect ing Mr. McAdoo's name with Je oO investigation has upset that confident calculation. The most enthusiastic adherent of the Democratic candidate from California .will concede that -the securing of two-thirds of the con vention for his fnan now seems to be an impossibility but the reaction in favor of Mr. MeAdoo within the last three weeks has caused independent observers here to figure out a pos sible majority of the convention for him. ' Some of his friends are now saying that his one hope of receiving the nomination is the abrogation of the two-thirds rule and in the death . of the strongest opponent to changing that rule a new hope has come te them. It has been stated here within the last week that the MeAdoo lead ers are going to make a fight for changing the rule if they are con vinced of two things. If they see no other way to accomplish the nomina tion of their candidate and if they are convinced the MeAdoo state dele gations will back them. If the struggle comes it is pre dicted that the New York convention will be one of the most memorial events in, the history of the- party. Some Democrats , are fearful that such a struggle might disrupt the party. But other Democrats are confident that only a comparatively small part of the delegates who are Instructed for the Califomian or who are favorable to his candidacy can be counted on to put up a hard fight for changing the rule of the conven tion. It is reported that in a number of instructed delegations for MeAdoo the leaders are lukewarm. As for the death of Murphey, only one effect seems, to be certain and that Is that Tammany will not be able to exert the Influence expected of It But even Murphey is said te not have believed that Governor Al Smith could be nominated at all.
