of the association. Not only

'broken at the convention held
at the Methodist Protestant
church. Pinnacle, N. C., Thurs

peculiar interest in the Sunday
school work shown by the
eight hundred in attendance.

and listened with attentive
ness to the presentation of the

how necessary it was to take

how necessary it was to get
the people into the Sunday
school by devising ways and
jjtofans not easy for them
to drop out. No better meth

by giving them a job in the
Sunday school.

the change of life of Saul of

DEMOCRATS MEET
IN RALEIGH
State Chairman Declares That
Neither Party Has Dry
I'lank In Platform—O. M.
Mull Is Made Chairman
I'ninaiamously.
Raleigh, July 17—Organiz
ing1 for the coming campaign
by the unanimous election of
Od LIS M. Mull, Shelby, as chair
man. the State Democratic'
Executive Committee was
plunged into a heated discus
sion tonight by a resolution
pledging support of the party
ticket "from constable to presi
dent." The resolution was
finally adopted without a roil
call.
Chairman Mull, in announc
ing his campaign plans, stated
a conference had been called
here tomorrow of the ten Con
gressmen. two Senators. Gov
ernor ami other State officials
to start the Democratic drive,
which he predicted will placj
O. Mux Gardner in the Gov
ernor's chair and Governor
Smith in the White House.
The attack on Govern -r
Smith, made by John B.
Wright, of Raleigh, was chal
lengeii bv Attorney General
Dennis G. Brummitt, who had
just retired as committer
chairman in favor of Oilus M.
Mull, of Shelby, the choice of
O. Max Gardner, nominee for
Governor.
"There isn't any dry plank
in the platform of either par
ty". Brumntitt said, an'* ad
dressing Wright, he
Democratic platform carries
an enforcement plank, and you
know it."
Warren Started It
I A resolution introduced by
| Congressman Lindsay Warren,
( of the First District, pledging
support of the party ticket
I "from constable to President,"
furnished the fuel for the
; oratorical blaze. It was read
after Mull, elected unanimoua
'ly. had sounded a battle err
for the coming campaign,
pledging himself to seek to
throw the support of the en
tire party to the Democratic
ticket without exception, and
announcing plans for a thor
ough-going organization of th •
State.
1 Mrs. Wallace Would Resign
Charles S. Wallace, of More
head City, touched the match
; to the tinder when he an
nounced that as a proxy for
his wife he could not conscien
tiously support the resolution,
because he was conversant
, with Mrs- Wallace's strenuous
j opposition to the Presidential
J nominee. He asked permission
|to submit his wife's resigna
tion, but Chairman Mull ruled
'that a proxy could not resign
for a member.
Announcing that he found
himself in the same situation,
W. L. Knight, of Halifax, with
a proxy for his wife, offered a
' substitute for the Warren
resolution, which in effect,
would have placed the commit
tee on record as saying the
failure of a Democrat to sup
port the Presideittial nominee
would not impair his party
rights in future primaries ami
conventions.
Morrison Gets In It
Cameron Morrison, former
Governor, made a vigorous as-
I sault on the Knight proposal.

will not invite the Democrat
of North Carolina to disloyal -
