GREAT SPEECH BY
A GREAT RUN BEHALF
OF MR. HOEY
Secretary of- U. S. Navy, Josephua
Daniels' Address In Ninth District
Congressional Campaign Reminds
People of the Campaign Last Fall
In Northern States Has Known Mr
Hoey, Democratic Standard Bearer,
Since Boyhood.
Morganton, N. C.,' Dec. 10 Hon.
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, speaking here today in support
of the election of Hon. Clyde R. Hoey
for Congress in the ninth district, to
succeed Judge Yates Webb, said in
part:
"We are living in a large world in
which neither parochialism nor parti
sanship can control the actions of menil
who love their country. Neither is
there any call for an appeal to section
alism or sectarianism. The war
taught us that Democrats and Republi
cans, and even the hitherto derided
Mugwump, when it came to the test
of partriotism all alike responded to
the challenge that their courage shonli
make the world safe for democracy,
using that term in the large sense. We
learned also to love men and women of
all religions, and out of the influence
of war there came not only a new re
ligious enthusiasm but a new brother
hood between the churches. - Hay this
comradeship abide in the better world
of toleration and for the betterment
of mankind!
"There was no. difference in the
courage of men of North and South.
Goto. Clarence Edwards, who com
manded the famous Yankee regiment
said that just before-going into action
on the battlefront in France he made
a tour of his force, speaking person
allv to all his officers charged with
the irrim dutv of the day. assuring
himself of their readiness and fitness
to lead their men. "I was particular
ly impressed." he said, "with the
BDirit and the bearing of a young ofli
cer-and with the Knowledge which
characterized his answer to my ques
tion. Mv command was known as
"Yankee", and most of the early en
listments were from New England
and yet this splendid young fellow
hud an accent not characteristic of the
speech of Yankees, and I asked where
he enlisted. He replied in Boston.
Still I felt that no orginial Yankee
had his imprint and speech, and I in
quired "where were you born?" His
answer was "in North Carolina" and
he had promptly enlisted while going
to school in Massachusetts without
waiting even so much as to hear from
home. It was partly because we
had such men from the South, the
equals of any from Massachusetts,
that the Yankee regiment was so in
vincible." '.--"The
glory of the Wilson adininis
' tratkin is that it -has in no act or mo
tive been touched by sectionalism.' The
President is an American who in no
appointment or policy has permitted
himself to be actuated Dy any tnougnt
except the good of the Republic and
the wise conduct of the public busi
ness. It is the first administration
since Cleveland's when a trully na
tional concept governed at the White
House. Other Presidents have, some
times with the finest spirit, welcomed
the advice of Southern men who had
the confidence of their home folks, but
because no Southern State gave them
its electoral vote no Southern man of
" leadership at home was admitted into
the circles of power by our Republican
Presidents. Thus, one-third of the
Republic was wholly unrepresented in
shaping the politics of the country
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Wilson were
elected by a party that knows no geo
graphical residence. If more New
York men were called to places of in
fluence in Washington than from In
diana or Kentucky it was because
there were more men who were in
touch with production and great en
terprise in the Empire State, and not
because of discrimination or because
they were more patriotic. It was the
business way of running a great gov
ernment under the severest, stress
and the mistakes were few as the re
sult abundantly demonstrated.
"It must pain every patriot no mat
ter where he lives to find men of posi
tion appealing to partisanship by
raising sectional questions. I say
"questions" and not "differences" be
cause there are no substantial differ
ences upon fundamentals between the
patriotic citizen of New Hampshire
and the patriotic citizen of North
Carolina. In my heart I know this
to be true, and yet in the 1918 cam
paign when I spoke in New England
the issue which some men who ought
to have been national leaders was ex
pressed in the slogan, unworthy of its
authors: "The south, which pays less
tax, is running the Government" and
I had to meet the utterly unwortny
charge that the Democratic national
administration was unnui ' lavurinn
Southern business to the injury of
New England.--That base appeal to
sectionalism confronted me when I
reached Boston.
It was a distemoer which I hoped was
dead and buried, but let us under
stand that it is not shared by the
great mass of the true men of all
parties whose voice will be raised
against any grave clothes issues or
sectional bitterness. :
"What has all this to do with next
Tuesday's election in the ninth dis
trict? The hope of continued progress
ive legislation, just to capital and
labor, destruction of anarchy, the pre
servation ol law ana order, tne pre
vention of a return of standpat gov
ernment, and the guarantee of a un
ited country upon which the blight of
sectionalism cannot fall depends upon
continuation of the administration
f affairs by the. Democratic party.
This does not imply that there are not
many Republicans as devoted to good
government as many Democrats are so
devoted. Not at all. It simply takes
account of conditions as they are.
Where are the real progressives who
repudiated Republican Standpatism a
short while ago? They are dead, or
they have been galvanized into react
ionary Republicans, or have become
Democrats or independents, or are as
impotent as they were in 1916 to pre
vent Reactionary Republican control
of their party.
"Progressive republicans in other
days were militant and found express
ion lor polices of progress. Today the
Republican party in its leadershin
has become the pattern of a party
shaped by Mark lianna. The reaction
aries control its policies more than
they did when Mark Hanna's trade
mark was the dollar mark,
for then there were Repub
licans who protested audibly. Now,
who hears them ? -. What policies do
responsible Republican leaders favor ?
Read the speeches of their leaders.
What are they made up of? Two
things and two things only : ITAbuse
born cf hate and envy of Woodrow
Wilson and his matchless administra
tion. 2. Advocacy of policies of nega
tion. ..
"President Wilson once said the Re
publican party had not had a new idea
in a quarter of a century.. For once
he was wrong. It has received a new
idea in its present extremity. That
new idea is the song of hate of every
policy they did not originate and envy
of the magnificent conduct of the war
by others than themselves. And these
two ideas, or passions, dominate the
leadership of the party today. But
perhaps I am wrong n saying that
Woodrow Wilson was wrong. He
was right, for passion cannot by any
courtesy be called an idea. It is the
opposite, for ideas are not born out of
hate or envy or prejudice or partisan
upon our free institutions. Yates
Webb honored North Carolina by the ;
championship of such measures which
the ingenuity of traitors demanded.
He peculiarly honored the Ninth Dis
trict. His elevation to the bench was
richly deserved, and I regret it only
because it loses from this district the
service of an experienced and wise
legislator in the critical days of read
justment "It is a matter for gratulation that
his mantle is to fall upon the shoulders
of a kindred spirit, a gentleman of
character courage and devotion to
justice, law and. order I use this
trinity of terms because, while law
and order must be preserved by ex
ecutives under any and all circum

. Mr. Cleveland went to Vermont tor
his Ambassador to Great Britain and
to Illinois for his Chief Justice. They
were the fittest men for those great of
fices, and though neither state -voted
for him, he looked for the great man
in a Republican as well as In a Dem
ocratic State. President Wilson - se
lected two members of his Cabinet
from1 the rock ribbed Republican
State of Pennsylvania, and if convinc
ed that another man better qualified
had lived in Pennsylvania would not
have hesitated to have given the Key
stone state a third member of his offi
cial family. He plays no politics in
national administration. He knows no
sectional lines. When it was suggest
ed that the appointment of Carter
Glass was politically unwise solely
because he lived in a Southern State,
Mr. Wilson bv his acts said that no
such consideration had the slightest
weight with him. Carter Glass had
been the champion of the Federal Re
serve act through the House and had
demonstrated an ability which gave
tiim the Dualities for Secretary of the
Treasury in larger degree than any
other able man in the country. The
President was as deaf to a sugges
tion that ha refrain from naming
Southern man well qualified as he
would be to a suggestion that resi
dence (n a Democratic Etate afforded
convincing reason for such appoint
ment The old Jeffersonian tests "Is
Tho fit ' is he callable, is he honest?"
are the only ones which have weight

"Broad-minded men of every party

welcomed the policy of Wilson which

with narrower minds have resented

"The rec..rd of 1913-1920 has gone
into history. Nothing can take the
glory of it from Woodrow Wilson and
no criticism of its small mistakes will
change the unaltered verdict of his
tory that the four names that will
live longest in the presidential firma
ment are Washington, Jefferson, Lin
coln and Wilson. Other historic
names like Jackson and Roosevelt will
loom large, but in the clear perspec
tive of history the three who success
fully conducted our greatest wars and
the one who wrote the; Declaration
of Independence and the Statute for
Religious Freedom will remain as
the big four in national and interna
tional galleries of the immortals. The
knowledge that Wilscn safely abides
hi this quartette rejoices the hearts of
patriotic men of all creeds, but it is
gall and wormwood to those who find
in his secure position today and lor
ever complete and lasting-reversal of
their prophesies. His greatest offense
is that his successful administration
has confounded all their criticisms,
They could forgive everything else,
That they cannot forgive.
In the light oi the record, of which
in the legislative and executive de
nartments of Government, North Car
olina public men have been privileged
to play a part second only to that of
its brave son who fought on sea and
land, what man can advance an excuse,
much leas reason, for advocating a
change of Democratic representation
in Congress from the ninth district!
It should be and I know is a matter
of pride to every citizen of the Ninth
District that its able, representative,
in these crucial days, held a position
of trust and responsibility for im
portant legislation exceeded by no
member of the House of Representa
tives. It is a matter for rejoicine that
in the fateful days Of war as Chair
man of the Judiciary Cimmittee your
Contrressman piloted through " the
House every measuie which safe
guarded our country from the sabot
age of anarchists, prevented the des
truction planned by the I. W. W.'s and
nilloried the dangerous doctrines of
Bolshevism, and put into ctatiite
measures with tenth to unhold old-
all men of every station and in every
condition in lite.
"I have known Cldye R. Hoey, since
as an industrious printer-boy, with
old time ambition which has given us
not a few printer statesmen, he was
printing a country weekly and making
his first public, contribution by the ad-!
vocacy of sound principles in his small
weekly. No silver spoon or any other
luxury was present at nis cradling.
Like most of the men who have be
come our first leaders, Clyde Hoey
came out of a home wi thout abundance
He learned early to work and to study.
He knows what it is to have hands
black with jpxintcr's ink, and to be
proud of honest work! And he knows
the golden read of toil and endeavor
and public service for his people's
good. He won the confidence of his
own people by his sterling worth
and his untiring industry and his
sound iudement. His success illus
trates better than any definition what
we mean by Americanism, a term
used loosely in these days. - -
"What do we mean by American
ism ? It is concretely Clyde Hoey,
the Democratic candidate for Con
gress in the Ninth District. He had,
as a youth, no wealth, no family in
fluence, no special opportunity. He had
purpose, industry, brains. Such - a
trinity of capital must have opportun
ity. Now Americanism means guar
antee of this opportunity to work, to
save, to study, to serve, to rise. It
means more; it guarantees protec
tion to the fruits' of labor cf h,ead and
hand. Still more: it blocks no avenue
of advancement and eevice in larger
fields. -
"Clyde Hoey thinks for himself and
will go to Congress on his own merit
and will deserve bV his own record the
vote of confidence you will give him.
liut it is fortunate , not alone for the
district but for the country as well.
that when he takes his seat in the
House of Representatives, Hoey will
represent tlte same ideals, principles
and policies which have given high
place to his able predecessor. They
were trained in the same sound school
of thought. They live in the same coun
ty, which is neither a handicap nor
an advantage, but is proof that like
environment has done its part in
shaping them. They are clean men in
thought, in life, in action. They love
the home, the school, the farm, the
factory, the church. The garish day,
the white lights, the primrose path
of idle dalliance have no more appeal
to Clyde Hoey than they had for his
predecessor. Let us emphasize this
truth. Clean living is character, and
no man can be a clean public servant
unless he has a clean private life. That
profound truth lias not always been
appreciated or accepted. But in civil
life, and in the Army and Navy of our
day we spell morale just as we spell
morals and they are one and insepar
able. The Ninth District has illus
trated its faith in this truth by the
character of the man it has sent to
Cpngress and by the nomination of Mr.
Hoey to be his successor.-
"The Ninth District in naming Mr.
Hoey has selected an experienced leg
islator who will bring demonstrated
ability to his new duties. In the leg
islature of North Carolina he was
a trusted lender, as modest as he was
capable. He will-be all the better
equipped ty tnis experience lor ine
service he will be called upon to per
form in Washington. And it is im
portant that the high standard or re-
nresentation ol vour district snoum

not De piacea in jeoparuy uy inning vo

make him realize that he - has the
strongest support of his own constitu

"Congress is confronted with grave
problems. Its Republican leadership
has no thought except to try to discre
dit the Wilson administration and
make political hay for harvesting next
November. It obtained power oy
false pretense. It promised to settle
at once out of hand the railroad, the
labor, the high cost of living and in
ternational questions. In order
so they said to hasten such necessary
legislation, the Republicans brought
about a filibuster in the last Congress.
This made necessary the early assem
bling of the new Congress. -it has been
in session nearly six months. What
has it done? What promise has it
kept? Its record is not only a do-
nothing record; it is worse than that,
It has not onlynot done Anything on its
own initiative to secure the blessings
it solemnly promised in return for
their votes but it has refused to enact
laws recommended by the Wilson ad
ministration to stop profiteering and
has regarded its pledges as so much
pie-crust to be broken at will.' It
therefore, behooves the voters who
wish permanent peace, an end of pro
fiteering, a solution of grave problems
to send to Washington a Congress
man who will advance the construc
tive policies of the Wilson adminis
tration.- That means Hoey. The elee.
tion ofhis Republican-Plutocrnt-Huck
leberry opponent would be regarded as
a repudiation of the glorious record or
winning the wajr and as putting ob-
stacles in the way of legislation to
restore normal conditions upon sound
foundations. Hoey would go forward.
Morehead would join the company of
the obstructionists, the naggers, the
knockers, the profiteers, and stand
patters, the phalanx that impedes war
settlement and prevents the realiza
tion of the blessings of peace. It
would likewise give an impetus to
Force bills and sectional bitterness
and hinder the progress and prosper
ity which now bless ell parts of our
common

Washington, Dec. 9. Railroad
travelers were brought face to face to
night with the most severe curtail
ment in passenger service that the
nation has ever known . While on
many of the eastern roads service
was reduced sharply yesterday', jt was
not until today that the orders of the
railroad administration began to be
felt in other parts of the country. In
still other sections many trains made
their last trips tonight.
Railroad administration officials es
timated from informal reports re

approximately 200,000 train : miles
will have been cut from the passen

The nation-wide fuel regulations an
nounced from Washington laBt night
will not apply in the southern region
of the United States railroad admin

regional coal committee announced to
night It was explained that the southern

certain changes in the nation-wide

been acted upon, the Washington reg
ulations would not be promulgated in
the southern region. Until such time,
it waB added, the regulations announc
ed here November 28 with the various
modifications will remain in effect.
The committee also announced that
should the soft coal strike be termi

could not be abandoned immediately.
"It will take at least .10 day and
perhaps considerable longer to bring

ment read, "and until this is done the
railroads must ooerate the distribution
machinery set up to meet the crisis
and the public must be asked to con
tinue observance of the conservation
measures. Until coal is coming freely
from the mines, and there has been
time for at least a part of the Increas
ed production to move to destination,
there can be no real change in local
fuel situations."

The Subscription Price
The Lincoln County News hereby
announces that beginning Jan. 1, 1920,
the subscription Price will be advanc
ed from $1.50 a year to $2.00 a year.
We find this absolutely necessary
on account of the unprecedented ad
vances in blank paper, and other
articles needed m publishing tne News
which have more than doubled recent
ly. During the month of December
renewals and new subscriptions wiil
be accepted at the present rate of
$1.50 per year. If you renew your sub
scription and pay in advance during
this month (December) the increased
rate will not effect you until your
time expires again.
We have been slow to make this ad
vance. We must increase the rate to
meet increased cost of operation. Our
patrons have been loyal and true, ma
ny of them taking the paper ever
since it started years ago and
as we give a twice-a-week
paper We believe they will stick
to us in this crisis. In comparison to
the price of other things, The News
is cheap at $2 per year. With print
paper costing $8 "er hundred, and
indications of its costing 10 dollars in
80 days (and hard to buy at any price)
there ib nothing let t lor us to do out
make a small increase.
We ask everybody who has not done
so to renew their subscription this
month while it is still $1.50 a year.
After Jan. 1, 1920, it will be advanced
to $2 per year. . .

vested in us by the last will and testa
ment of Susan C. Heavcner and Bar
