Angus Wilton McLean, Democratic nominee for Governor of North Caro lina, brought his campaign to Ran dolph county Tuesday , night in a speech in the court house at Asheboro that was one of the clearest, most concise, and intelligent arguments ever presented in this section of the state. He was heard by a large and enthusiastic audience that filled Ran dolph's cout house to overflowing. Mr. McLean was given a splendid reception Tuesday afternoon by the citizens of Asheboro and at night his appearance on the platform was the signal for an ovation indicative of his popularity in this county.

Meekins Change of Heart Mr. Mcean took note of Candidate Meemns' right-about-face on the school text book question, remarking that the Republican candidate for governor whom he does not mention by name, has experienced another change of heart. The Republican candidate has quit praising Senator Simmons he noted. Candidate Meekins was quoted as saying in his Asheville speech that collusion of high Democratic officials with mem bers of the text book commission to gether with intercession of friends of the Democratic State organization and a fee by a publisher of $10000 to a certain Raleigh attorney had re sulted in a higher price being charged North Carolina school chil dren for text books than is paid in other states. It' was charged against the Morrison administration and good Democratic officials and reput able teachers and principals that Candidate McLean couldn't sit. under. So in no uncertain terms he last week called Candidate Meekins to ac count Then State Chairman Dawson' called the Republican candidate for governor to put up or shut up. At Marshall last week Candid ins denied outright hat he had made such statements of wrong-doing against the State Board of Educa tion and the Text Book Commission, Dut Candidate McLean quoted from Asheville papers, and told about heanng from prominent Democrats and others that Candidate Meekins had actually made the statement at tributed to him in many of his speech- ea at different points in the State, and he pointed out the serious reflection of such charges upon reputable men and women against whom they were directed, declaring that it was wholly unjustified and unwarranted and if fitatMl &JI mintorl hv CamUAata MoaU ins, was a malicious slander of these upright people. ... . . , , 3- 1. ,k" ; T .

I received lnforma- ' tion from prominent Democrat in .'other place that the Republican a candidate in his speeches at these place - repeated the charge and quoted the prices at which the book . , eU in North Carolina and the price at wnica they sell in other etate in 1 ; n case mentioning a price of fifty- fir eeoU paid ln Virginia against ,' the price af-cn dollar twenty-flv , eenU paid m North Carolina for the v m book.

TVunday, October SILENT VOTE THE UNKNOWN FACTOR Complexity of the Situation De fies Keenest Minds All Confident of Success. (By David F. $t Clair.) Washington, October 7th. -The pri vate counter-claims of managers and lieutenants at the three ramni 1 I . . neaoquarters here convince one that great confusion dominate, th al campaign at this moment. All three parties are now' claiming the election. The. Coolidge managers will V'mt l the straw vote everywhere except in the South as favoring the President and from the optimistic vol- uminous reports pouring in from the -N'orthem and Western states in be- haf of their candidates. Senator Swanson of Virginia and nead ot the Democratic speakers bu- reau startg out by sayjng that hg js nt "giving out hot air" in this cam- paign but in the next breath he tells J'u "Coolidge is a dead cock in the P"t" ami he points to a tahle nf tn carry west of the great river La Fol- lette will and Coolidge will not get a single state out therp.

Some of the sanest ; of the LaFollette politicians actually believe their candidate is headed straight for the White House and the election is going to be one of the greatest surprises in American his- tory. But the complexity of the situation defies the keenest intelligence in all """"'uou"a' me great un- voters, n the reported straw vote gives any real indication as to the preference of this silent vote, why Coolidge should be elected. The Demo crats however, hold that the methods employed to secure the straw vote are dishonest on their face. It is characterized as paid Republican propaganda and to offset it the Demo crats have started within the last week a straw vote campaign of their own but no reports have yet been given out.

As an niuscraiion ot this fact Representative W. V. Stevenson of South Carolina was called to Democratic headquar ters the other day and asked to give two weeks of this month to campaign ing in some of the Eastern or Central states. Mr. Stevenson told the speakers bureau that he should he sent to a dry region where the people would accept his view on the league of nations and where they are op posed to the child labor amendment.

Solicitor Zeb Long made a speech in the Archdale school house Monday night to a large and enthusiastic au dience. He devoted an hour and a half of clear and concise argument to the discussion of nationa and state issues. .Mr. Long spoke highly of the pres ent Democratic county administration, stating that the clerk of the court is an excellent officer and Sheriff Cox one of the best sheriffs in North Caro lina. No sheriff, according to Solic itor Long, excels Sheriff Coy in the performance of the duties of his of fice. The speaker reviewed the remarka ble record made in the state under the leadership of Governor Cameron Morrison. The democratic party has settled all the great issues in the state, such as the issue between negro and white, prohibition, and other problems of moment, de clared the speaker.

A man making the race for the place of chief executive of a commonwealth such as North Carolina should have more respect for the. welfaroi. , his state than to try to create a senti ment against its banks. Such state ments coming from a man of Meekins' intelligence and position is an insult to the intelligence of the state.

Itanv S2.00 DIES FROM EFFECT OF BULLET WOUND Dewey Morgan Victim of Shoot ing Dies at Local Hospital Monday Night. Dewey Morgan, aged 25, a citizen of Eagles Springs community, Moore county, died at the Hayworth hospital Monday night at 8:30 o'clock from the effects of a bullet wound received early last Saturday night at the hands of a person or persons un known. Morgan was brought to the hospital early Sunday morning in a serious condition with his stomach and upper intestines pierced by a bullet which passed entirely through his body. He was conscious, however, most of the time until his death. Only meager reports of the shoot ing are available. The affray took place at Morgan's home where the Moore county officers had gone in search of liquor. It is reported that the officers were not after Morgan, but were looking for other persons. It is understood that Wylie Brown and Morgan were found by the offi cers near Morgan's barn with some whiskey. Edgar Brown, rural police man of Moore county, deputy sheriff John Brown, a Mr. Saunders, and Edgar Brown's son composed the searching party. Wylie Brown was arrested and an attempt made to ar- rest. Morprin ivhn i-;iti Qii-rnT r,.rt. the officers towards a i.inp th?pUf near the barn. When he had reached i,k;iii(jicu biiuLs were nearu. upon investigation Morgan was found shot ! through tho Wi anH ; condition. He was placed in an auto- i mobile and brought to the hospital bv Edgar Brown's son. Just who did the shooting is un- known-statements on this point are SundLVXro-an m. m lctm?- WmIe ln the hPtal KSrBrZ:. plicating Edgar Brown. How ever, Brown and the officers with him state that neither Brown or any of the officers fired a shot, but that the shots were probably fired by some person or persons concealed about the barn or the pine thicket, the officers hearing the shots, but unable to see the persons who did the shooting. The body was taken to the Morgan home in Moore county Tuesday for the funeral services. The burial took place at Brown's Chapel church yes- terday. j Morgan is a married man having a family and children, together with an adopted child. Railroad In Moore Co.
