desierves the thanks of every citizen
in the State. Now we urge these
citizens and the executive officers to
see. that the provisions of thiB meae
urf are used in every county to rid
the State of bootleggers and block
adexs. The sheriff of the county is Tested
with power and authority to break up
the outlawed liquor traffic. He is
uaQr oath to "searciufor and seize
aqy distillery or apparatus used for
the manufacture of intoxicating liquor
in violation of the laws of North
Carolina." We urge all citizens to
require of sheriffs the faithful dis
charge of this duty and hold them re
sponsible also for the activity or
fefljire of their deputies. We believe
the people should support in pri
maries and elections candidates for
sheriff who abstain from the use of
intoxicating liquors. , If making and
selling liquor is unlawful, the con
sunter is a party to the crime., Hot
arty-candidates iror sheriff, but candi
dates for judge, solicitor and recorder
should publicly go on record for vig
orous enforcement of prohibition laws.
We urge our teachers throughout
the State to provide their schools
with suitable programs that "Law
and Order Day" may be observed. We
favor an appropriation that will en
able the Superintendent of Public In
struction, as the law provides, to
furnish such programs. Reverence

for law is essential and must De
in public schools and in Sunday
schools, so that public opinion will
understand the reasons for prohibition
and wish the law enforced.
The people must be brought to a
deeper sense of civic responsibility.
Those who vote are the only ones who
really count as citizens of the Re
public. As long as approximately
half of those who are entitled to ex
ercise the right of suffrage fail to
qualify and vote, Christian citizen
ship must arouse itself and make
every non-participating citizen real
ize that he is a civic slacker. We
urge all citizens to meet this respon
sibility at the primaries, June 7, 1924.
Resolution
The following resolution was adopt
ed with a number signing:
WHEREAS, June 7th will be Pri
mary Day when all political parties
will choose their candidates for na
tional, state and county officers, and
WHEREAS, the North Carolina
Anti-Saloon League on April 24, 1924,
issued a Public Statement endorsing
the 18th Amendment, the Volstead
Act, the state prohibition laws and
their strict enforcement, and calling
on the citizens to support for office
those who abstain from the beverage
use of liquor and declare for lew en
forcement, to which we give our en
dorsement. Therefore, we, the undersigned
Pastors and church workers In con
ference assembled at Asheboro June
2. 1924 urge the citizens of the county
to attend the primaries and vote for
the candidate or candidates of their
political affiliation who will obey the
law and support the law and consti
tution. We invite the people of Randolph to
read the Public Statement issued by
the Board of Trustees of the North
Carolina Saloon League and therefore
request The Asheboro Courier to pub
lish the same in its Issue Thursday,
June 6th.
We especially urge the women to
vote.
We urge the ministers of the
county to use all their Influence to
create a sentiment for law enforce
ment In their neighborhood. And,
that they observe July 6, 1924, as
Law Enforcement Sunday and preach
on the subject at least once.

McADOO TO FRONT
Want Men of Pronounced Per
sonality on Ticket For Presi
dent and V. President.
(By David F. St. Clair)
Washington, June The feeling
f Democrats fpnerallv as ttioir .
country io,.ay Ague as a cat
lighted on his feet when his enemifm
in both parties from motives of
jealousy and fear sought to over-
wneim mm py revealing nis connec-
with being the most pleasing and en-
gaging public man in the whole coun-
try.' His enemies in his own party
fear his personal magnetism. They
have characterized it as "jes uitical
and the great danger of the man."
The very sight of Governor Smith
acts on the imagination and emotion
or a crowd a good deal like the ap-
pearance of the late James G. Blaine
did.
And there is James M. Cox. The
country knows what a campaign he
made in the face of the greatest odds
a candidate for President has ever
known. He realised in the very out
set that he was doomed but the uni
versal omen of defeat set his soul on
fire with zeal for his cause, the league
of nations, and the last days of his
campaign thrilled his political ene
mies with admiration. Cox is a per
sonality. John W. Davis is another of a
still higher order than McAdoo,
Smith or Cox. He is a mind, an in
dividuality, his friends declare. It
seldom happens that the American
people turn to a man of his type for
President. They did in Jefferson and
Wilson who have been called the two
great intellects of the White House.
When Thomas J. Walsh or Carter
Glass speaks on the floor of the sen
ate they receive an attention that is
given to very few other senators.
Walsh is a personality; Glass is an
of Indiana and Senutor Robinson of
el. An unknown or utile Known man
like a pig In a bag cannot be Fold to
the country in the few remaining
months for resident. The public
must have some general knowledge
of the man whom the New ork con-
venuon names me next morning ri-
ter he is named
if he is to tie elected.
There will be a memorial service at
, tains have not yet been hung In the
new auditorium of the school, where
all the other exercises were held.
