The result has been that every wheie the people have rallied to the lifted standards of peace and of justice In the course of his tour of the western States Governor Cox has exposed the fallacy, the hvnacri sy, yes, the duplicity, of the onoosi tion And now the tide has turned.

It is a pitiable spectacle to see this son of a great sire ulnmw.ioi,. raded before the public.

The governor soared so high in his eloquence and in the utterances of such profound truths that he took his hearers for beyond the idea of par tisan politics, onward and UDward In. to the realms of the sublime. After his address was over hundreds of men and women rushed to the platform to shake his hand, and among the many complimentary remarks the News-Herald reporter caught this from an old-time democrat: "Gov ernor, want to thank you for that message from the Lord."

Indications are that from this great speech will go out an influence over Stanly County that will set the hearts or our citizenship on fire fy the cause of the great League of Na tions, and that this will mean large democratic majority at the November election. The democratic women are at last becoming annuH t the great responsibilities thrust opon-tkwn with the franchise. the fire marshal has had to close the doors, after every aisle was packed with eager men and women who stood for two hours eagerly listening to the plain truth. Index to Sentiment Surely the interest of thesa 5nn audiences is an index of American sentiment. Governor Cox's enthu siasm is contagious. Our sneakers bureau is today literally swamped with requests not only for competent speakers to tell the straight truth about the league, but with offers to speak by literally thousands of the ablest platform men and women in the country, who are so ardent in thpit advocacy that they are glad to con tribute their services without thought oi compensation. We have not found it any more necessary to pav an ar. my of Hessian speakers than we have to employ a poison squad of scouts. Our reports from practically every section of the country are not onlv encouraging, they are literally enthu siastic. This is no longer a campaign, but a crusade. We find that there is an awakening among the people, quite regardless of geographical location r political pre.

HARDING ALIENATES MANYWDMENVDVERS New York, Oct. 9. Democratic na tional headquarters today made pub lic a telegram sent Senator Win by Mrs. Fay Lyman Wilber, of the executive committee of the Califor nia women's league for the peace treaty, informing the republican rres idential nominee that his rejection of the league of nations in his speech last Thursday at Des Moines alien ated the support of 30,000 women of California. The telegram was sent fter a meeting of the executive com- mittea in San Francisco yesterday. Many friends will be interested in the announcement of the enraswmrnt of Miss Ramelle Smith and Dr. Royal Graves Canaday, which was made at lovely party given by Mrs. C. J. Mauney Saturday afternoon. The marriage will take place No vember 6. Sharing honors with Miss Smith was Miss Rachl Whisonant, of Blacks- burg, S. C, who was a guest in the Mauney home.
