NOBTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY, JUNE 15. 1915. !»• POLITICAL NEWS FROM STATE CAPITAL. K&leigb, JuD« li.—The relum of ^nator Sinunons. to Wo^bgton CbUeetor A* D- Watts to StateKville has aliovred aspiriai* Democrats can ^ dilutes to breathe the breath of satis faction. Watts, the mystic, said ^lat .ali he '^wished. was a pe«p at the aenator whom the Collector sees but infre quently. !t k fairly authenticated now that the two discu&s^ some cur- tftilraent of the revenue force in the West and that Jim Hartness, whe run* eoiunty court M the clerk, just c«me down to get a little inqpira- tion for ihs ritce xtgaiast Bryan Grimes. Colieetar Baily is said not to have beefi in th^ Watts—SiaunonE^ Hartness confereoce. Hartness is a loser if daily indica tions go for much. He chose much the strongest man ir. the state coun cil for his opiwoont, Bry&n Grimes If ho had selected Lacy, Treasurer, he would have found strong support from every quarter. While I^y voted for Kitchin as Bryan did, the Kitchin men are no' stron^r for him than the Simmon#. Lacy h.".£ no avowed op ponent and without a com(>lete slate overthrow of the state ticket is re garded impossible. Then there is doubt as to Bailey’s running for attorney general. He has corifessed as much but is unwillinj; to - !nak$ any statement. Senator Sim* ftwns does not want Bailey to enter the race for Bickett’s present ofRce. Bailey and Simmons are very close. The wishes of the Senator will pretty ■ h^rly deierniinb Bailey’s conduct. It hits never been denied that Bailey has an aspirtion to succeed Simmons and it is un.dcrstc«d, of course, that the succession is to be without con test. For a time the Sinmons men bitterly contested the Bickett march to the Democratic nomii’ation, but it is undarsood now that Bickett aspires to the lectitre platform after a gruber- natorial career and will not frighten Simmons sgrain. Thus perishes the Bickett antipathy and the Simmons miichine is going to be nvare for him than anybody else. Bickett supporters, very mindful of the supposed neutrality of the News and Observer, observe frequent sug- gestiono -'f candidacies which they do not understand. Since the paper pas ses up the real political news and gets exclusive stories on that unheard by anybody else, it is said that the organ may not be fanatically prorBickett. Collectors Bailey and Watts will hold their deputies who had been an the slate for decapitation, aceordin^ .;o the latest from Washington and there will be no inunediste changss in the revenue force in Statesville or Kaleigh. The Ueinocratic indiirerer.ee to -pie” may be discov^d in this last coup of the Collectors. The departmont in Washington had notified Raleigh and Statesville that something must be done, that despite the war tax which weighs heavily upon industry and which wes levied when there tvas no wj\r on this side, there was no money in Washington. Moreovei', Commissioner Osborn, who is said to have received a pair of raises in his individual salaries, sent oat the worJI ihst some deputies must be laid off. It was as nacebsar/ as the hoisting of the colonel’s salary. It is even rumored that expense money was danied in certain instances and that burning business at Washington v.-as not sufficient to open the pcckets of the treasury at Washington. .Coloifie! Osborn sent oat the word that the state had been passing pro hibition laws, had put down the lid everywhere and made the striction of the liquor traffic, business of the state. He insisted that the' federal govern- ntent which gets no liquor license In Noi^ Carolina now ought to . be ex-, cused from the eitforcement of the Jiquor law passed by North Carolina Legislatures. ’ . The Colonel was not unkind ;$noVigh to say what leveiAie officers haVe been saying openly a dozen years, that there are only tour sheriffs in Nortih Carolina who are any aid to the Federal Government in whiskey raids. Two of these are Bepublicans, two Democrats. But it has become positively notorious that the county offices arc doing nothing to enforci! the laws now on the books. Enemies of Collector Bailey and friers of the Wake county officers declare that he. has often said he had never heard of a raid by the Wake county officers. Recently one of Bailey’s deputies cap tured a blockade distillery on the city’s water plant using the city’s water supply, And this deputy had run against the sheriff in the Demo- Small comes to the domimint party in the reflection that its whiskey laws are ignored by its officers. National headquarters for woman suffrage will be given material for projMiganda by the recent decision of the supreme court which upset the legi^ative act giving women the right to serve as notaj-ies public.

Some of the Moat lateresting Things on th« Progran. held commissions as notaries public. This plainly disqualines them for legislative service and the women ara going to raise the point. The hope is to get the decision again befor«! the court in order to allow a rehearing. Not only will it be con tended that the notary is not an olBc.>, but it will be shown by court decisions that e Iwayer is a public oiScer and therefore ineligible for legislative ser vice according to the desisioa of tha court. Mrs, Medili McCorraick, Catt, JWra. Shaw, Mrs. Gardner, Mrs. Breckenridge and a score of others are now working upon the latest icor- ^iScation of the supreme court. National Committeeman E.

The Raleigh man has not expressed him self and his illness may put him out of position for a race. Governor Locke Craig has gone to the mountains for the summer and will spend a portion of it in his Ashe ville home. He will probably return next webk to pass upon two very urgent commutations. “The Soiree Singers” are openers for the “A” Circuit and they are a i>®PPy crowd. Each member of the company iznatates some well known -actor lor singer. For instance Lucy Price reproduces Ullian Shaw in ths_ cleverest stunts that famous actress ever staged, -and Harry I.ohgstreet brings Harry Lauder with his almost inimitable mannerisms right into your presence. ■niey can giiig too. The te^nor solo from the opera Pagliacci, the quar tette trim Sigoletti, a iraversty on the qiiaitette from U Trovatore are I some of the grand opera they do. The ^ Goose Girl for Straus’ Comic Opera, I Lucy Price in “Malbarree Strait" ars ! great. Longstreet’s Harry Lauder is j wonderful, “Wit oot a Wife,” “I love I a Lassie,” and then Koko’s Song from the “Mikado," "Tit nr'iiiow," scia tiit audience wild. • The Chautauqua entertains follow the Soiroc Singers, playing the second jday in all the towns of “A" Circuit. .Their task—to live up to the high ' standard set on the opening day is difficult i^eed. Of course the pru- 'gram they render is entirely diifere.tt from that of the day before It is pitched in a different key. Miss Ethel Mae Gordon reads Riley’s "I ain't ‘ ^ing to Cry no More," until the audi ence has a peculiarly moist feeling about their own eyes. Waino Kauppi, the boy cornetist doe* some excelleiit work, getting a tonai quality into hi.*) solos that is seldom equalled, Miss Lyndon’s “Songs of the Southland,” are somewhat in the nature of the only approach to folk Rongs that we in ' America can truly call our town. Mr. Fuller renders capable support as pi«tii?t with the company. I Then comes the f&mous Colangelo’s 'Band. If we told you that Colangelo Iras a better ba.nd than the Victor’s ' Bavid of last summer, you should smile up your sleeves. We therefore, won’t tell you. We’ll let you find it out for yourself. Some new variations in the program are great. There is a string 'sextette in native Italian costume. Then comes Miss Ethei Bentiey and ' Signor Guarino with their solos and duets, They also are in native Ital*- '^n Costume. Mi.ss Bentley’^ voice is a clear dramatic soprano, and that 'of Signor Guarino is a splendid tenor, j Do not miss Col^gelo’s Band. I The Mines-Varkony Company, and the Oratorio Artists each produce their own peculiar thrills, Mr. Var- kony, with his swaggering pirete ''songs, Gabriel Hines, prize-winning composer and pianist, Elizabeth ^Oliver, soprano. The Oratorio Artists jmake most of their appeal through the sssocifttion of long ago. “Songs our jorandmotliers Sang” bring up many ; pictures to the mind, touch many in timate heart strings.

BBYAN ASKS THAT ANEIUCAN PEOPLE JUDGE HIS ACTHiN/ The 1^1 lodge Woodmen of the World, held a very, beautiful memorial service at Fine Hill cemetery Sunday afternoon, wiiich was largely attended. The g»«ves of the departed soverigns which had belong^ to other dtapters were decorated, these being Ralph B. Warren and William A. Clark. Tlie local chapter has been fortunate in not losing any of its members. Grand Soyerign G. F. Wise conducted the exercises, and Hon. C. A. Hines of the Greensboro lodge made the prin cipal address, a male quartette from the Greensboro chapter rendered Mv- eral nice songs, altogether the service was beautiful and touching. The local order will inaugurate a meihbership campaign now pretty soon, and those who are not members will be given an opportunity to join, the order has grown wonderfully within the pa3t year, making the largest increase of any of the orders like nature.
