Assail ing tha Republican party of North Carolina and of the nation, Senator Lee S. Overman, addressing the Dem ocratic Convention today, declared the Republicans, "hoping to. win the next elction by discrediting the great head of the Democratic party, have entered into conspiracy of abuse and slan der of the vilest and most inhuman kind against the President of the United States." Senator Overman de rlariul Iia halinveri the American neo- pie would resent at the ballot box "this unjust propaganda of slander." "The Republicans indict the Presi dent for stubbornness and indifference to their feelings, when it wai they nd not lie who made the treaty partisan issue, continued Senator Overman. "They did it wilfully, and deliberately. They determined more than a year ago that regardless of all of the provisions of the treaty they would so change it and modify it that they could gain a partisan victory over the President. They had no other program and no other purpose. They care nothing for principle, na tional" honor or national good faith and national pride they dashed all away for partisan advantage. Even while the Government was negotiating this treaty before its contents were known our Republican friends, de siring to make political capital out of it and injure the president, en tered into a conspiracy to fight it to the bitter end. For 8 long months this treaty has been held up in the Senate, embarrassing the president and em barrassing us both at home and abroad. We now have to appear be fore the nations of the world as a peo Die who do not retard treaties as i solemn international obligation, but regard them only as campaign issues, America in my judgment, will finally ratify the treaty with certain mild re servations and Woodrow Wilson will be vindicated. Senator Overman charged that the highway of the Republican party in the nation was strewn with a wreck of broken pledge and unperformed promises. "In the last election they carried both the House and the Senate with the promises that they would reduce taxation and reconstruct the county into peace conditions," he said. "They have reconstructed nothing: not a dol : lar have they reduced taxes. They have appointed 67 investigating com- ' mittees, have opened the books dur ing the war. with smelling committees to see if they could find where the Democratic party had expended mon ey corruDtly. and they have not dis- covered out of the billions of dollars we snent for war mirnoses marve lous to tell as much as fifteen cents corruptly spent. The record of the Democratic party for the last seven years. Senator Ov erman contended was a splendid record of nromises keot and promises per formed. He reviewed the legislation naased during those years for the far- e mers, labor and general welfare of the CLYDE HOEY'S KEYNOTE SPEECH. Hopes General Assembly at Special Session Will Ratify the Amendment Declares Revaluation Act Mere ly An Honest Effort to Give the State a Fair and Just System of Taxation. , ;: .y ; Raleigh. April 8." The demo cracy of North Carolina welcomes the splendid womanhood of the state to share iuiiy tne amies anu re- uonsibilities of government, and hoDe to see our general assembly at its special session ratny me sunrage amendment, declared Congressman Cldye K. Hoey, temporary chairman of the democratic state convention today , in his keynote address on state issues. "Such action will serve the two fold purpose of granting simple, though delayed justice to our wom en and exercising for ourselves the nriviliges of conferring the right of full suffrage upon our own women, Everybody can support that propo sition," continued Mr. Hoey. The keynote speaker passed over the question of good roads in the THREE CAPITAL CASES IN GASTON IA CUUKT Gastanio Gazette. A one-week's term of criminal court for Gaston county begins today, Mon day, April 12. Judge Henry f. l-anc, of Reidsville, will be the presiding judge.

Chief inter est centers, however, in the trial of Efne Robinson, a white woman of the western section of town, charged with the killing of one Richard Fisher some two months ago. it whi De remem bered that the homicide occurred as the result of an altercation between Fisher and John Kmley who operates a store beyond the Arlington mill on the Bessemer City road, usher and several companions-, who were all drinking .endeavored to pick a quar rel with Kinley. who ordered them from his store, firing the shot from a pistol to hasten their departure. A short while afterwards they returned and renewed the quarrel. Two of the men, Fisher and one other, grappled with Kinley, had him on the ground beating him up when the Robinson woman came to the defense of Kin ley and shot Fisher dead. She has been lodged in the county jail since that time. Another case that is of popular in terest is that of young Ivy Caveny charged with running down and kill- mill on January 17. It is alleged that young Caveny was driving his automobile at an excessive rate of speed. Mr. Kee and one or two com panions were walking along the road, and according to information given at preliminary hearing were crowded over into the ditch, Mr. Kee , bein run over, suffering injuries from which he died.

The ninth district congressman re viewed the state's progress under democratic administration, the de velopment of agriculture and the growth of industry, and discussed the wealth and indebtedness of the state and the present rate and system of taxation. After pointing out tha regress made in publication, the ihelby man proceeded to discuss the revaluation act "The revaluation act." said 'Mr. Hoey, "pure and simple, is an hon est effort to give the state a fair and just system of taxation. If there are any imperfections in the act, it can be amended, or any irregularities its administration, these can and will be eliminated." Predicting the adoption of the in come tax amendment, the speaker said it becomes a companion piece of legislation to revaluation, for it is well known that the policy of the state tax commission, in the event of the adoption of the amendment, is to relieve all real and personal porp- erty in the state from any tax what ever for state purposes, so that all the taxes levied upon property will remain in the county where the taxes are paid and used for county and school purposes. HENRY FORD ASKS AN - - EARLY INVESTIGATION Detroit, April 8 A telegram urging immediate and thorough investiga tion into charges of fraud in connec tion with the Newberry-Ford senator- iial campaign in Michigan in 1918 was country, saying, "the Democratic par-'sent to the United States senate elec- ty stands against class legislation, but Deneves in legiBiHiiuu, ui uiu mjiu only, where it is for the uplift and the comfort of the great mass of the people." Under the leadership 11 President Wilson, as commander-li-chief, the nation, he said, had carried on the greatest war in all history and had brought it to a successful end. Saying the democratic party stands for freedom of speech, freedom of relig ion and freedom of the press, but does not stand for license of speech, and li cense of the press. Senator Overman declared he would stop the immigra tion of undesirable foreigners "who refuse to learn our language, hate our form of government, organize tions committea by Henry Ford thi3 afternoon. The investieation is particularly ur gent now, contended Mr. Ford, be cause of counter charges growing out of the recent Newberry trial "that I also expended largo and unlawful sums.

The increase for 1919 was only 56,000 as compared with the average in crease for the ten years previous of 771,947. The slump started, he said, in 1918, which showed an increase of only 115,000 members. The hitherto most prosperous de nominations in the United States showed the following decrease for the year; Methodist-Episcopal, 69, 940: Presbyterian (U. S. A.

Among the reasons assigned for the decrease were the interruptions or suspension of regular work of many parishes by the war, calling of pastors for their pulpits bv the concentra tion of efforts in centenary and other gigantic drives for funds and a great increase in deaths, due partly to the innuenza epidemic. -CHIEF OF POLICE STOPS .
