DEMOCRATS MET
HERE SATURDAY
McAdoo and McLean Arc En- 1
dorstd At County Conven
tion—Resolutions Are Of
fered and Adopted.
Stokes Democrats met here
Saturday at the court house and I
nominated delegates to the State i
convention which meets in r
Raleigh today. The convention t
was well attended by leading 1
Democrats from each section of 1
the county, and several of these i
addressed the meeting. |
E. W. Carroll, of Mizpah, was i
elected county chairman to sue- j i
ceed R. B. Tuttle, resigned. !i
Hon. W. G. McAdoo was en- i
dorsed for President and the |
convention went on record as j
favoring A. W, McLean for
governor.
The following resolution was
parsed by the convention:
Whereas, North Carolina is to-1
day recognized as the most ad-;
vanced and progressive State of j
the Union, leading all of her sis
ters in the building of good roads,
in the erection of modern school
buildings to carry out an amazing
program of education, in the
cire of the sick and the blind and
the mentally afflicted, and in the
humane and sanitary provision
for the unfortunate criminals and
imbeciles;
Resolved, That we go on re
cord as endorsing the superb, pro
gressive administration of Gov
ernor Morrison, whose name will
be perpetuated as one of North
Carolinas greatest governors; that,
we unequivocally endorse his,
plans for the great eastern water- j
way and port facilities whereby ;
unjust and oppressive freight j
rates may be reduced, one of the !
immediate results of which i
would be greatly cheapened i
fertilizers for our farmers, and j
raw mate materials for our manu
facturers.
Resolved, further, that we en
dorse Hon. A. W. McLean for
Governor, who stands for the;
continued upbuilding of the
State, and who is in hearty
sympathy and accord with the
progressive spirit of the times
and the advanced policies of the
State in education and good
roads, but who at the same time
stands for economy and strict
business management of the
various departments of our State :
government whereby expenditur- j
es may be reduced and taxes:
lowered for the people.
Me it further resolved by thej
Stokes county Democracy,that we
give Hon. William G. McAdoo a
vote of confidence, and endorse
hie candidacy for the office of
President of the United States.
Coming through the fire of
calumny and character assassina
tion which has brought our
national governmental Washing
ton into disrepute, McAdoo is to
day the outstanding figure of our
national Democracy, and one of
the ablest men of America. Re
solved that our delegates to
Raleigh cast their votes—if
opportunity offers—for national

DEMOCRATS IN
RALEIGH TODAY
State Convention To Convene i
—Secretary of State W. N.
Everett To Make Keynote
Address.
Raleigh, April 15.—Reservations
at Raleigh hotels for tonight and I
Thursday forecast an overflow
crowd for the Democratic state 1
convention.
The biennial meetings of the
democrats do little more than
adopt a platform, boast of demo- i
cratic government and in presi
dential years, name the dele
gates at-large to the national
convention, but the atmosphere 1
of politics they create is a big
| attraction.
The city auditorium will lie
used and it seats about o.SCU.
1 Two years ago the democratic
convention brought two thousand :
j here. And with political interest
pretty keen among the democrats
just now it is expected there will,
'be need for most of the seats
in the big building
About the only chance for con
tests in the convention lies in the
possibility of a move to endorse
Josephus Daniels and in the elec
tion of the delegates-at- large.
Heretofore, four delegates haye
been chosen to the national con
vention but very likely eight will
be named this year to give the
women representation. Each dele
gate would have half a vote.
Secretary of State, W. N.
Everett, will do the keynoting
for the convention. Two years
1 ago Congressman E. W, Pou did
it. boasting of the "Program of
Progress " There's been a tend
ency to apologize and explain the
vast expenditures of the develop
ment program in recent months,
but Mr. Everett is offering no
apologies or explanations. He
believes the people heartily ap
prove the great work of building
schools and roads and increasing
the accommodations of colleges
and chartiable institutions ;and he
will tell the convention all about
it.
Most of the head liners in Tar
Heel democracy are expected to be
"among those present." Guberna
torial candidate. A. VV. McLean
has reservations. It is not
,! known if Candidate.!. William
! Biiley be in town that day. He is
: understood to have an engage
ment to speak in New Bern or
I some where down that wyy,
J Governor Morrison, who has
' been honey-mooning in New
: York for ten days or so, will get
j back in time to be present. It is
Idoubtful that the state's two
I senators. Simmons and Overman,
will get here. A good many of the
congressmen may come. Simmons
1 and Overman likely will get a
place on the "Big Eight.'' Gov
'j ernor Morrison may also, and
' perhaps 0 Max Gardner and
' Democratic Chairman John O.
Dawson. Still others have been
mentioned and there may be a
r contest. Places must be reserved
1 for at least three women accord
ing to democratic leaders.

No. 2,714
TO BID FOR
TOURIST TRAVEL
Hard-Surface Highway May Be
Built From Greensboro To
Madison To Tap Roanoke-
Winston-Salem Road.
Discussing the building of a
highway from Winston-Salem to
Roanoke, Va, two (ireensboro
citizens in Danbury yesterday
stated that in case this road is
built. Guilford county, assisted
by State Highway Commissioner
J. Elwood Cox, will, in their
j opinion, put a hard-surface road
; from (ireensboro to Madison and
tap the Roanoke-Winston-Salem
road there in order to catch
travel between northern points
and Florida
By building puch a road, it was
stated, tourists going south would
not only have the most direct or
I shortest route, l>ut would have
hard-surface all the way from
Madison to the South Carolina
lino.
The attention of the Greens
boro citizens was called to the
i fact that the route from Winston*
| Salem to Roanoke, now also
| being discussed, which leads
through Stokes, Patrick and
1 Floyd counties, is shorter and
I can be built with less expense
than the route via Madison and
Rocky Mt. In fact the greater
portion of this route has already
been built, while the entire route
is a part of the State highway
i systems of North Carolina and
Virginia. Moreover, the Madi
son-Rocky Mt. highway would
parallel the N. & W. railway,
while the Stokes-Patrick-Henry
route would open up new terri
tory and bring much more new
business t> the two cities at
either end of the highway.
