In a -meeting largely attended, and by some char acterized as the most rousing ever held, the Democratic executive com mittee cf Catawba county met in New ton at the call of Wilson Warlick, chairman, cn Saturday and proceed ed to take store of the issues of the day and to formulate plans for the coming campaign, 'which will materi alize in November, and to lay the foundations for a campaign' that will carry to -every voter the convictions of t hi? 'times' and which will show to every wan and woman in Catawba county that Democracy is the prime factor and redeemer of their stability. It was unanimously agreed and re solved that a convention or mass meeting, for the purpose of nominat ing the ticket of Democracy in Ca tawba, and for the purpose cf electing delegates from Catawba to 'represent ifiis -county in oii'x imui,iauv Conventien caucci to be held in the city l.'J -- Raleich. be called to be held m the city of Newton on Saturday, April 3, 1920 at 12 o'clock, M. at which time the Democracy expects an old time love feast such as is in due 'ac cord with all mass meetings. It (was further resolved, m accori with the Democratic State Plan Organization, that on Saturday, March 27, at 12 M. meetings are call ed to be held in the several precincts of Catawba county for the purpose of electing delegates to the convention to be held in Newton on Saturday April 3rd, as above and for the purpose of perfecting the precinct organizations by formation and election of the dif ferent precinct executive commit tees. It was a getting together such as one seldom sees in these times of in dividual effort antl was easily classed as one of the old time rallies of the Democratic forces in Catawba, and from this get together meeting much will flow that will be of serious im port to those in Catawba county who would oppose the forward march for good that is characteristic of the an nals of the Democratic party in this county and state: from it one can easily predict a stiff front to the en emy in this county and in the end a ticket triumphant. It was the consensus of opinion that a very strong ticket could be nlaced in the field by the party and one, nominated in a mass meetmcr or con vention without factional fight ' and ether outcropnings, would be accent able to a maiority of . the voting strength of this county, a ticket corn nosed of the strong men of the coun tv nominated in' the free.casy method of conventional activity. Many forward looking plans for the p-ood of Catawba county, and many for the very salvation of the counts indeed were presented and discussed and selected as -probable 'planks to be incorporated in the local countv plat form; 'a committee appointed by the chairman, to draft and lay before the convention assembled a platform including the numerous ideas of those present, which ideas largely center upon "A business conducting -of a business' county." The fire and enthusiasm of those nresent was such as is seldom seen in a meeting 'of representatives of a party not in power and it Surely, in the mind of the writer, means a hard, gruelling contest for the opposition, srtd a contest which the writer thinks will close with success to Democracy.

'ANN) (Copyright, 1920 ihe Washington ot ar) Washington. March 15. With the entire house of representatives, one third of the senate, and the president and vice president of the United States to be elected in November, all quest ions at the national capital are consid ei'ed in their bearing upon politics. In ternational policies, legislation by congress and to a certtin degree the administration of the executive depart ments are concerned in such-consideration. Thus it falls out that it is a perturb ed and hectric life the statesmen, near statesmen, politicians, officials an 1 their followers are leading just such now and will continue to lead for some months to come. All observers are agreed that the political situation in the country at large is more unset tled, uncertain and hard to gauge than it has been for many years. Some of the veterans 'in congress compare seeming to find many points cf similar- itv in conditions. V"At this hour, or it should rather be said the moment for situations change with rernsvlcahle. suddenness and suddenness swiitness, interest centers mainly in President Wilson's endurance contest with the senate over the league of nations; in what constructive legisla ion congress may enact; and, of course in the uncertainty oyer presidential candidacies in both parties. The possibility of 'the senate giving the president a modified form of trea tv. troaeccntablc to him and inducing his withholding it ffom being made ef fective, is the most disturbing feature nr,o i Uifnfinr, Wn r. ton.

He j can still write letters upon internat- j ional subjects well up to hi old iorm and as charming in diction as ever.
