THE CONCORD TIMES
$2.00 a Year, Strictly in Advance,
The Names of Nominees
Appears Today in Our Big
Subscription Campaign
The Nominations Are Not
Yet Closed and There Is
Yet Time for You to En
ter Your Name.
NOMINATION IS
ONLY FIRST STEP
The Vote Count of Each
Contestant Entered in
the Campaign Will Be
Made Tomorrow.
Today it appears—the firut list of
nominations. Names of nominees
received up till 9 o’clock Saturday
nigln together with their denomina
tion vote of 5,000 is printed today for
candidates entered in The Concord
Tribune-Times great “Everybody Wins
Something’’ four-automobile and cash
prize campaign.
Nominations are not closed. In
fact, today there are more prizes than
there are active candidates. Oppor
tunity without a handicap is here to
day for new entries who will “carry
on.”
This small list published today
must not be misunderstood. The
names printed are just nominations.
The list only serves to show who is
entered. It doe*> not indicate the
LIVE. ACTIVE candidates/
Some who have been nominated
failed, so far, to turn in one
single, solitary -subscription to The
Tribune or The Times. Some have
not even called to get an official re
ceipt book. Those are, so far, can
didates in name only, nothing more.
Subscriptions Will Win.
Candidates who will not produce
subscriptions can not hope to win.
The more subscriptions you can pro
duce the more votes you earn.. The
free coupons appearing in The Trib
une and Times from day to day arc
valuable only in the degree in which
you enhance your vote score by sub
scriptions. There is absolutely no
hope in coupons alone.
Coupons are printed, primarily to
stimulate interest. Os course they
do have value, but. it is questionable
when one considers that one subscrip
tion alone offsets a whole bundle of
coupons.
Nominations But Start.
Simple nomination of a candidate
does not mean anything. The nom
ination is but the first step, the
starting point. Any one content to
rest after nomination can not get far
in his election. Active work, hon
est eflFort, constant attention to the
business in hand, and that alone can
get votes. And votes win. and sub
scriptions mean votes.
With so few candidates entered,
and so many of those yot get. at least,
manifesting any LIFE or ACTIVITY,
the opportunity is here for some live
ones to enter and “carry on” to win.
In fact, the more candidates en
tered the less votes it will take to
win.
If two candidates are running for
office they must have all the votes
between them. The winner must
have a majority—over half—of all the
votes cast. Rut if five candidates
seek the same office the winner only
needs to have more vote than the next
higher candidate.
Then too, in this campaign, “ev
erybody wins something.” There is
the new Buick Brougham, the new
Studebaker Phaeton, the new Hudson
Coach, the new Chevrolet Sedan.
There are purses of gold and silver
totalling hundreds of dollars. And
remember too, the cash commission of
10 per cent, paid all active non-win
ning participants. In an election
for office, but one candidate wins. In
The Tribune and Times election “ev
erybody wins”—YOU WIN.
To Contestants.
The vote count of each contestant
entered in the campaign will be made
public tomorrow. There are con
testants entered who so sass have
failed to make a single report, and
this will give those contestants an
opportunity to get. in their count for
Tuesday’s issue. All subscriptions
should be turned into campaign head
quarters by tonight to appear in that
count. '
Any contestant who has entered
the race and the name does not ap
pear in the list of candidates kindly
notify the Campaign Department im
mediately. Phone 579. .

President’s Special Board Starts Broad Inquiry While
Another Board Seeks to Find Cause for Disastter
Which Wrecked the Dir igible Shenandoah.
Washington, Sept. 21.— (A 3 )—The
much investigated air defense of the
nation was stater on another long
pull today with the President’s spe
cial air board inheriting all the con
troversial backgrounds of accusation
and criticism in starting out to find
the facts.
Called to open its hearing at 10 :30
a. m., the board had called as the
first winess Acting Secretary of War
Davis, who fire urged the board’s
creation after the controversy over
aircraft matters, and had been stirred
to new heat by the most recent charges
of Col. William A. Mitchell, formic
assistant army air chief. It was
Colonel Mitchell who furnished the
chief impetus for the long investiga
tion conducted by a committee of the
house at the last Congress.
Want More him! Better Planes.
Washington. Sept. 21.— UP) —The
President's special aircraft inquiry
began today with the War Depart
ment on the witness stand, asking for
more and better airplanes, but object
ing stubbornly to Col. Win. Mitchell's
pet project for a separate unified air
service.
Meeting in a committee room at the
capitol the board named by Mr. Cool
idge found an imposing array of army
officials marshalled before if—to give
information and advice.
Acting Secretary Davis, Major Gen
eral John L. Hinds, chief of staff of
the army, and one or tw T o A. E. F.
flying commanders who remain on
active duty, and Brigadier Gen. Huglr
Drum, the assistant chief of stuff, in
turn described the air service as an
important army of national defense,
but one which must be operated in
war times as an integral part of the
whole war machine, not as a sepa
rately controlled unit of offense or
defense.
General Drum urged the board to
consider, carefully the powers and lim-

aggerated statement had been made.
Turning to a discussion of anti
aircraft guns, he declared an erron
eous impression had been given the
country that the war department
looked upon ground fire as adequate
protection against air attack. He
said he himself had been misquoted
as saying he could protect New York
City from an air attack with a bat
tery of twelve three-inch guns.
The general then quoted from the
record of the house aircraft committee
hifi testimony as follows:
“I feel this, speaking from my per
sonal experience, and if jW wHI-giw
me say twelve anti-aircraft guns of
three-inch caliber, that I will keep
within range of these guns any bomber
from doing serious destruction.”

Through survivors, civilian eye wit

inquiry called to meet here today will
seek to get at the facts as to the
cause of the wreck of the airship
Shenandoah.
While this catastrophe of the air
served to speed a general investiga
tion of the whole air service under the
direction of the President, the inquiry
here will be wholly independent of
that starting today at Washington be
fore a special board named by Presi
dent Coolidge.
In the natural course, however,
some of the witnesses called here will
be heard by that board.
Chief among them will be Col. Wm.
Mitchell, former assistant chief of the
army air service, who repeatedly has
assailed both the army and navy ad

ing at his home in East Norwich,

ASK POSTAGE STAMP
WITH WILSON’S IMAGE
Woodrow WiLson Foundation Makes
Request—New Favors Granting It
“In Due Course.”
Washington, Sept. 21.—The Wood
row Wilson Foundation has asked
Postmaster General New to issue a
Woodrow Wilson postage stamp in
December. Norman II- Davits of New
York made the proposal.
Mr. New said that “such an isisue
would be entirely proper” and lie had
“no doubt it will follow in due
course,” but the time since the
death of Mr. Wilson was rather short
if precedents were to be followed.
"The issuance of the Harding me
morial stamp was obviously proper, as
he died in office,” Mr. New wrote to
Mr. Davie. “The iesue of the second
Harding stamp was made almost
compulsory by the act of February
28, 1925, which creates an immediate
demand for a 1 1-2 cent stamp.”
Mr. New said that he had caused
the records to be examined “to see
ju-4 what has been done in the past
with reference to the adoption of the
portrait of an individual.” He con
tinued.
“I find, for example, that in the
ease of former President Cleveland,
who died in 1908, nothing was issued
until this present administration is
sued on March 20, 1923, or fifteen
years after his death, a stamp bear
ing his likeness. In the case of Grant,
five years elapsed; in that of Hayes,
twenty-nine years; in those of Mc-
Kinley and Roosevelt, three >*-nrs
each before stamps bearing their
likenesses were issued.
“I have no doubt that within a
reasonable time the memory of Mr.
Wilson will be duty hoored. as I
think it very properly should be.”
WOULD MARK THOSE
WHO GIVE BAD CHECKS
Secretary Leonard Also Would Pun
ish Merchants Who Accept Them.
Thinks Law All Right.
Statesville, Sept. 20. “There
should be some way of marking men
and women who give worthless
checks, and then the merchant or
other business man who accepts
checks from those who are marked
should be punished with them,” de
clared J. Paul Leonard, executive
secretary of the North Carolina Mer
chants association and editor of the
Carolina Retailer, in an editorial ap
pearing in the September number of
the Retailer in which he discusses
the constitutionality of the new bad
check law, to be decided by the Su
preme court.
Mr. Leonard says that- llie cheek
law is effective and has greatly re
duced the merchants’ losses in bad
cheeks in those cities and communi
ties where there is sufficient public
sentiment against the giving of
worthless checks, and where mer
chants have the nerve to bring in
dictment, and officers and eour.s have
the erve to enforce the law.
“If bankers and court officials
continue to express publicly their
opinion that the law is unconstitu
tional it is natural for the scamps
who give worthless checks to feel
they have a free hand. All these
seem to forget that the old check
law has never been repealed, and
the new law is still in fore until it* is
deelred unconstitutional or repealed,”
remarked Mr. Leonard last night-
WILDCATS OVERWHELM ELON
Outcome Is Never In Doubt.—Sap
penfield, of Davidson Suffers Brok
en Leg.
Davidson, Sept. 19.—Elon’s hopes
for an initial victory over the W ild
cats went smashing so ranotlier year
when the Davidson eleven tore
through the Christians for a 34 to 0
victory today. The game, played un
der a broiling sun that would have
set heavier squads to the showers, was
the first of the 1925 football season
in North Carolina. Although the
Wildcats had been predicted as the
winner of the initial fray, the Elon
team had been played up as Elon’s
best bet against Davidson and the ter
rific pounding that Coach Younger's
machine handed the visitors was lit
tle expected.
Davidson paid dearly for the vic
tory. Nick Sappenfield. brilliant
quarter of lass season, broke his leg
after he had twisted through the Elon
line, the break coming as he was
tackled and fell. Sappenfield had his
team going at a fact pace and was
just entering the sacred ten yard zone
for the third time when the accident
oceui red. The loss of Sappenfield is
a great one.

CHRISTIANITY IS
HOPE OF COUNTRY
Says Already Teaching of
Christianity Has Had a
Great Effect in Changing
Bad Japanese Customs.
* t
Definite assertion that Japan is
not preparing for war with tht United
States was made in the course of a
sermon yesterday by Dr. Z. Hinohara,
pastor of the Methodist Church in
Kobe, Japan, and teacher in the
K vnsanie Seminary there. Admit
ting that during the World War 'he
militaristic and jingoistic elements
were in control in Japan and sought
every means of preparing for war,
Dr. Hinohara declared there has been
a decided change in his country and
that Christianity is responsible to a
great degree the change.
“We are told in an article in the
Saturday Evening Post that Japan is
making airplanes at the rate of 500
a month.” the Japanese professor con
tinued, “the airplanes being part of
Japan’s equipment. I do not be
lieve the planes are being built and
I am certain if they were the author
of the article would not know it.
He speaks of seeing the planes being
made, yet I am certain if Japan was
preparing secretly for war with the
United States strangers could not get
admission into plants in which war
materials were being manufactured.”
I)r. Hinohara pointed out further in
backing his argument, that Japanese
people pay huge royalties for foreign
ears because they cannot manufac
ture engines. “If we could manufac
ture 500 airplanes a month, certain
ly it seems that we could make a
good automobile,” he said.
“I admits few years ago the mili
tajristie leaders and the jingoists were
in) control but there has been a change,
brought on by the teaching of Chris
tianity in Japan,” the speaker said.
“A few years ago children sought
swords, guns, miniature battleships
and similar toys. Now they are
choosing other playthings, according
to a statement made to me by a prom
inent manufacturer of Japan. This
shows* the change in sentiment. Just
before, during and just after the
World War many of us who preached
peace were said to be unpatriotic.
Our people had been taught differ
ently. They were unwilling to be
lieve there was any way to get peace
except through war. -Now they are
seeing in adifferent light, and Japan
is not preparing for war.”
More Christian teachers are needed
in Japan, Dr. Hinohara said, to show
the people the folly of spending huge
sums for the army and navy while
children lack school facilities. “Our
people are taxed so heavily for army
and navy that we must do without
schools, and some people must do
without real necessities. I plead
for a Christianity that will show the
people, especially the leaders of the
people, the folly of such a program.”
Dr. Hinohara said it was the duty
of Christian America to take pains
to send its message of light to the
east, adding that “the more Japanese
there are converted the closer will
be the friendship between the two
nations. Christianity draws nations
together as it draws individuals. It
makes nations co-operate; it makes
them anxious to aid one another, and
after all there can be
without a desire for co-operation and
friendship. Ido not want an isolat
ed Christanity, either between nations!
or individuals.
“America is great; Jalpan is great,;
but Christanity is gr#Uter. It is
fine to be a citizen of America as it is
fine to be a citizen of .|fapan, but it
is still finer to be a citizen of the <
Kingdom of God.” (
In his home land, the speaker said,
Christanity has aided the people in
getting away from supertsition and
in so doing has bettered their morale
and standard of living. Christian
ity also has been the chief factor in
the emancipation of women in Japan,
and at Ihe same time it has pro
duced some of the real leaders of the
