Tawjjteay Jc M, MM MUMMat M DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Met Last Tuesday. Senator Har rison Makes Rousing Key note Speech. The Democratic National Conven tion met in Madison Square Garden, New York, last Tuesday, at twelve o'clock. For many days. Democratic leaders from all parts of the country had been gathering and setting the stage for the gigantic meeting. The cam paign headquarters of the various candidates were bustling with activ ity long before the opening day of the convention. William G. McAdoo, of California, anl Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, are the leading candidates, but there is talk of "dark horses" and no certainty that either McAdoo or Smith will be nominated, though McAdoo is thought to stand the bet tor chance. North Carolina's dele gates are pledged to him. The vet eran William J. Bryan is present as a delegate-at-large from Florida, the delegation being pledged to the Cali fornia man. The Commoner Is fight kig for peace and campaign con tribution planks in the platform. McAdoo supporters claim they will get 450 votes on the first ballot. O. Max Gardner, of Shelby, is chairman of the North Carolina delegation. Other prominent candidates besides McAdoo and Smith are the following: Carter Glass, of Virginia; John W. Davis, of West Virginia; Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama; Ralston, of Indiana; Gov. Charles W. Bryan, of Nabraska; and others. Any of these who fail to land the Presidential nomination will be vice President possibilities. The following are said to be pledg ed to McAdoo under the unit rule Iowa, Missiouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Tenessee, South Carolina, Kansas, Nevada, Washington, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Kentucky, Canal Zone. North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Florida, California, and Oregon are bound by primary re sults. The California man has many scattering delegates pledged from other states. The Smith forces claim the follow ing states, in whole or in part.. Virginia, Tennessee, North and South and South Dakota, Kentucky, Missouri, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Louisana, Flori- da, Mississippi, west virgma, Mary- land, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Maine. It will be seen from the above that both McAdoo and Smith forces claim strength in some of the same states.

Much Interest Being Shown. Is The union revival meeting conducted at the corner of being North Payetteville and Salisbury streets, ' which has been in progress since June 8, is expected to continue through next Sunday, June 29. Dr. L. J. Miller, of Nashville, Tennessee, who does the preaching, has made a most favorable impression on the people of Asheboro. He has a pleas ing personality, a gift of oratory, and a deep knowledge of the Bible. Al though broad-minded, he is not a modernist, but believes in the old fashioned religion. The singing con ducted by Prof. D. Ward Milan, of Lincolnton, is an important feature of the meeting. Two services are held each day, ex cept Monday and Saturday, one at nine in the morning, and another at 7:45 in the evening. The leading bus iness men of the town close their places of business from nine to ten in the morning so that they and their employes may attend the service of the hour. Numbers of men in over alls come from the industrial plants at this time to hear Dr. Miller, On Sunday before census of the town was which the fact was brought put that Ashohnrn enntsriniwl ai-r Vmnriwwl non. pie above the age of ten who were Tint numhiK nf anv hnn.Vi TTnlW,. any ing this, a great campaign has been waged to get these people to attend the meetings. Committees of person al workers have visited the people and invited them to services. Large crowds attend twice a day. During the past ten days many have asked for prayers and numbers have been converted. Last Sunday morning at ten o'clock, the evangelist held a chil dren's service, preaching to a vast audience that included hundreds of grown people as well as children. The big tent overflowed and a large num ber of people sat in chairs extending back on Mrs. A. K Burn lawn. At the close of this service fifty chil dren and young people went forward for prayers, and later stood to pledge themselves to the Christian We. Following the children's service, Dr. Miller preached a short sermon, addressed principally to the church people whom he urged to do their part in bringing about a great re vival. At the close of this service the five pastors of the town stood with Dr. Miller while hundreds of people filed past, shook hands with the in isters and pledged their full support to the meeting. At the Sunday ser vice, Dr. Miller requested that, as far as possible, social functions be omit ted during the rest of the meeting. As a result, a number of social affaiis planned for the week have been can celled. Special services are being held at different times this week for fathers and sons, for mothers and daughters, and for elderly people. It is an op portunity for not only Asheboro peo ple but for the citizenship of the county to hear one of the leading preachers of the country and business should be suspended and sacrifices should be made in order to hear Dr. Miller. MR. REYNOLDS THANKS SUPPORTERS Mr. Robert R. Reynolds, of Ashe ville, thanks his friends in Randolph county for their loyal support in the recent primary.

All persons from the county as well as from the town are urged to co-operate in making this parade a great success end in having a Fourth of July celebration.
