It would be better for the candidate, perhaps, if he could get the endorsement of the Committee in format session but if the commit tee does !hot meet then any one who wants to-make the race can do so by filing th«* proper notice. Local were ’interested in the story from Greensboro that friends of Marion .Butler were anx ious for ifim to make the race. This would oser an excellent opportunity, jt is said.- for* the former Senator to show hif# strength. ; He was badly de feated aj the recent State convention but ela : ms a large number of supporters in the State so it is sug gested tfrat he be given, to chanee to show hi| strength. Mr, Butler and any other candi date will be defeated, so the party is up agaipst the problem of choosing some opr who is willing to make the race for*love of party. There is noth ing to $e expected by any Republi can except defeat. MEETINGS AT KANNAPOLIS Great Interest ip Reformed Church Sermons Being Preached by Evan gelist Johnson.

SAY BRITT OR DRAPER WILL SUCCEED CANNON , As Republican Nominee to Oppose Senator Overmlto in Wpef Election. | The following story from Raleigh j, will' Be read with interest here : William Grissom, United States Cdßector of Internal Revenue, who yesterday returned to the seat on the ! State Executive Committee of the Re publican party which he vacated hye years &£o, celebrated his return to active participation in party count i s with the prediction that Arthur J. Draper, bf Charlotte, or James J. Britt, of Aaheville, will be given the Republican nomination for the Unit ed States Senate which was declined by Charles A. Cannon, of Concord. Republicans here are somewhat heartened by the fact that Mr. Can non, who is a wealthy textile manu facturer and the brother-in-law of David H. Blair, United States Com missioner of Internal Revenue, strong ly stressed his national Republican ism and said nothing about his State' Democracy in his statement j the nomination, which was issued from Washington. In that statement Mr. Cannon stat ed a good Republican candidate ought to make a ‘ great showing,” but said nothing about election. , , Mr- Draver, who is also a wealthy textile manufacturer; and a protection ist. woukl be the same sort of a can didate as Mr. Cannon, -while the Re publicans feel that- if need be they can draft the services of Ml*. Britt and he will feel under obl : gation to accept. Mr. Britt, who served two terms in Congress, is now counsel for the national p'rohibition director at Washington. He was temporary and permanent chairman of the convention at lsurham and was the selection of the regulars of the party in their pre convention caucus for the Senatorial nomination. However, he declined to l£t his name go before the convention in that connection and, instead, was named for Chief Justice of the Su preme Court, a position for which the candidate is not expected to make a -campaign.
