IS HAYES TRYING TO
CHANGE NAME OF PARTY?
Mr. Haynes in His Opening Gun Does
Not I’se Name. “Republican.’ 1
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
' Raleigh. Aug. It).—Why is the Re
‘l>uhli<-aii party in North CamHna try
ing to conceal its identity? Is it
ashamed of the name “republican"
because of the odium the present ad
ministration with its false economy
program and slush fund scandals, has
cast upon it? This is a question
both Democrats and out and out Re
publicans are beginning to ask as the
result of the opening gun in the cam
paign of Johnson J. Hayes, Republi
can candidate for senator. For al
though considerable literature is being
in advocacy of Mr. Hayes’
candidacy, not once is the word "Re
publicAi" or “Republican party” men
tioned in these circulars, all of which
are signed by or issued in the inter-!
est of “-The Patriotic and Protective
League.’”
The only way it Is possible to con
nect the “Patriotic and Protective
League” with file Republican party j
in the state is through its officers,
who are easily recoguizable as lead- ;
ers of the G. O. P. in the state. The
president of the league is John L.
Morehead, son of John Motley More
head, of Charlotte, for many years
the recognized head of she Republican
party in North* Carolina. The secre
tary of the organization is B. C. ,
Campbell, chief field deputy of Gil
liam Grissom, collector of internal
revenue and one of the G. O. P. bul
warks in the state, sometimes spoken
of as the next Republican candidate j
for governor of North Carolina. The !
treasurer of the league is T. L. Bland, j
one of the owners of the Sir Walter I
Hotel in Raleigh, and former mem- •
bers of the Republican state commit-!
tee.
The letter issued by the league in
advocating support of Mr. Hayes deals 1
largely with praise of Hayes and urges I
people to come and hear his campaign
speeches. Following are some ex
cerpts taken from the letter than will
indicate the general tone of the docu
ment :
“We ask that you will avail your
self of the opportunity to hear the
Honorable Johnson J. Hayes, who will
speak in our county and the vicinity
at the place and on the date and hour
mentioned in the enclosed list.
“Please be so kind as to invite
friends to join you and to post the
list of his speaking dates.
“Johnson J. Hayes will present to
the people of the east the advantages
which will come to them with a pro
tective tariff upon the agricultural
products, now being sought be peanut
growers, and equally upon the indus
trial products. He believes in the
Sout’.i and that it will also make it
the rival of the great manufacturing
states of the North.
“What will most appeal to—you is
that he is a self-made man, and he is
the kind that wifi elicit your admi
ration ; young and self reliant, he will
bring to you from the mountains the
enthusiasm of the west to match in
fair contest the conservatism of the
east. Hear him for his sake and for
your own.”
With the letter an ambitious pro
gram of speaking dates in the eastern
section of the state is inclosed.
Whether the campaign is to be con
tiued under an attempted cloak of
separation from the Republican party
cannot be’ learned, but if so, it is
likely to be even more than a farce,
according to those who know the sit
uation over the state. An open and

Bernsteen indicated, upon his success

ASSERTS STATE IS
AWAKING TO NEED
Dr. Rankin Points to Prospective
Spending of $550j000 For Hospi
tals.
Charlotte, Aug. 19. —The prospec
tive spending of $550,000 within the
next nine months for the construc
tion of hospitals in four of North
Carolina's richest counties and the
owning of Mecklenburg's new $150,-
000 tuberculosis sanatorium oh Sep
tember 7, is a strong indication that
North Carolina is awakening to its
hoed for more adequate hospital fa
cilities, according to Dr. IV. S. Ran
kin, director of the hospitalization
section of the Duke endowment-
Dr, Rankin returned from More
head City, where he spoke at the
nieeting of the State Association of
County Commissioners. At this meet
ing, Dr. Rankiu explained the pro
visions of the Duke Endowment’#
hospital relief plan. While in East
ern North Carolina; Dr. Rankin also
addressed the Board of Commission
ers of Wayne. County.
Haywood County, which recently
voted to issue SIOO,OOO in bonds foi
the erection of a hospital at Way
nesville, is expected to inspire other
counties in 'Western North Carolina
to do likewise. Durham and Forsyth
counties plan to push bils through
the next Legislature, authorizing,
elections at which the question of
floating in each county a bond issue
of $150,000 will be decided. Only a
legal technicality prevented
counties from holding the election in
1925, it was declared.
Gaston County - also plans to seek
authority to float a bond issue of ap
proximately $150,000, it was said.
North Carolina needs approximate
ly 5.500 hospital beds to care for the
bedridden cases- It has now only ap
proximately 3,000 in use. I)r. Ran
kin, declared in pointing out the
great need for capitalization facili
ties. “.
While declining to confirm it Dr.
Rankin cited a recent report on hos
pital facilities of the country, issued
by the American Medical Associa
tion. This report stated that this
State's hospital facilities averaged
one bed to 517 persons, as compared
with the national average of one
bed to* 291 persons. North Carolina
was placed fortieth in the list of
States. South Carolina, which the
report stated had one hospital bed to
each 797 persons was placed last.
The movement to provide for the
State’s hospital needs will gain
momentum each year, Dr. Rankin
forecast. He cited the growth of the
public health work in the State as
an indication of how * the State
“warmed-up” to an idea of this na
ture- Public health work began to
take hold of North Carolina about
twelve years ago, when Guilford
County employed a fulltime health
officer. There now are forty counties
in the State, in which fulltin?e health
officers-are employed, it was pointed
out. Dr. Rankin formerly was secre
tary of the State Board of Health.
Dr. Rankin said the hospitalization,
section of the Duke Endowment is
conducting an educational campaign
among the leaders of the Carolina
people. This work and a recent sur
vey of the needs of the existing hos
pitals caused Dr. Rankin to go into
all counties in the State and into the
majority of the counties of South
Carolina. This work is scheduled to
continue for an indefinite period, Dr.
Rankin said.
Officials of the hospitalization sec
tion are exerting themselves in
pointing out the needs of the varl "
ous communities of the- State and
urging the leaders to work for ade
quate facilities to meet the need,
said Dr. Rankin.

BEGIN ELIMINATION OF
.AUTOMOBILE SPEEDERS
Eighteen Out of Two Dozen Will Re
main for Sprint Races Set For
Monday.
’Charlotte, August 10.—Tomorrow
morning Fred Wagner, official starter
for the A. A. A. events and paternal
guardian to all the racing boys, will
take the. field with his army of stop
watch punchers to decide which of
the some two dozen entries shall be
among the lucky eighteen for the
sprint races Monday.
The arrival of Bennett Hill in Char
lotte leaves only one of the expected
drivers now absent, Ralph Hepburn.
So far eight pilots "have signified
to Fred Wagner that they are ready
to battle with time for something bet
ter than 120 miles per hour, the speed
necessary to qualify in the August
races.
The eight drivers. Hartz, Comer,
Lockhart, Hearn, Elliott, Cooper, Mc-
Donough and Lewis, would have been
nine tonight had not Harlan Fengler’s
supercharger broken.
Fengler’s supercharger seems to be
his most particular hoodoo for it was
a broken one that forced him out of
the Altoon race and the same trou
ble caused him to leave the track at
Salem.
“But what can you expect,” grins
Fengler, "when they are making 40,-
000 revolutions per minute?”
The latest accident resulted in all
the gears in the mechanism being
stripped except one.
Fengler said, however, that the oth
er member of his locomobile team.
Eddie Hearn, was ready to take off to
morrow and that by working all night
he would be ready for Friday’s try
outs.
Several drivers were out at the
speedway today tuning up and look
ing the track over. Lockhajt. Ben
Jones and Frank Elliott took their
carse on the track and things were
made to hum for a few laps.
Elliott's unofficial clocking was 35
flat, or a speed o»f 128 miles per tfour.
“Looks like I might qualify at
that,” said Elliott, who is driving a
green Miller special.

Theft l is a condition in North Car
olina that behooves all to watch, de
clared H. Walters, national
councilor, today to the members of
the order in the effort of certain in
terests to place all institutions fog
the care of the state welfare depart
ment. The proiwsition is to bring
all big welfare work under control
of “a woman grasping for power,’’ he
said, referring to Mrs. Kate Burr
Johnson, who has been actively en
gaged in the past in an effort to
bring all the institutions under tlifc
charge of her department, ■«.» /
The condition was brought to th«
attention of the national councilor
by J. M. Sharpe, of Reidsville, a part:
state councilor of the order apd one
of the members of the state legisla
ture who waged a determined a'nfl
telling fight against the plan which
resulted in its defeat, at leant fvtso
far as that session of the general as
sembly was concerned. - The mem
bership of the Junior Order was urged
by Mr. Walters to keep a close watch
upon the next session of the legisla
ture so that when any similar at
tempt to strength the power of the
state welfare department might be
vigorously fought.
During th‘e past year 3,761 men
were initiated into membership of the
Junior Order in North Carolina, re
port of the state -secretary shows.
As compared with the previous year,
75 more men were admitted into the
order In 1025 through initiation than
during the year just drawing to a
close. The year has been a vary
successful one from every standpoint.
New members, including those ad
mitted by initiation, reinstatement
and received by card, numbered 5,162
for the past year as aga : nst '5,087 for
the year preceding it.
- Four hundred and sixteen members
of the order passed away/ during the
past year, the report shows, as against
361 for the year previous. Scarcely
a day passed but that at least one
member of the order died.
An interesting feature of the year
is that only nineteen members were
expelled from the order for all causes.
This 1 is taken by state council offi-,
cials to indicate a better understand-,
ing and a stronger love on the part
of the rank and file of the order for
the order. In 1025 it was necessary
to suspend 52, or an average of one
every week,
