Here'!) a hope that such a coalition as will enable the
return of Cannonism to the Hou.se will not be formed.
Mr. Hughes' littleness is still being manifest. Congra
tulations or no congratulations, he is whipped to a fraz-tle.
The woman, whom the voters of Montana have sent to
Congress, ami who is the first of her sex to be accorded
such an honor. Is listed with the Republicans, but one of
the planks In her platform' was prohibition.
By way of warning: Let no precocious young trees in
these parts get the idea that Spring and tho time for the
sap to rise has come,. Old Jack Frost will swoop down
on us the first thing we know and assert his rights.
Here comos Dritton before the smoke has cleared or

York for another week, awaiting tho official count from
California. They have the drowning man and tho pro

Several ships have been sunk by Gorman submarined
recently without warning, it is alleged in the first reports.
Some of the Mediterranean' line ships have been sunk
but is also reported that they carried guns. It must be
borne in mind that Germany and the United Slates have
never gotten together on the armed-ship matter. Ger
many has maintained all the timo that passongor ships,
which carried guns, were su'jject to attack without warn
ing, but the United States has claimed otherwise. The
sinking of such armed ships now will probably bring the
matter to a head, and snnxt definite understanding with
Germany be had.
ORGANIZATION OF HOUSE.
The organisation of the next Houso of Representatives
will furnish one of the most interesting fights ever staged
in the lower branch of tho Nation's law-making body.
From tho face of returns now at hand neither side has a
working majority, and must depend up mi the voto of in
dependents to carry their points. The odds, with a few
districts in doubt, favor the Repu'illcans, having a plu
rality and, of course, they will endeavor to elect, in
Speaker and supplant the Democratic chairmen.
If the final p turns give the Democrats control, or they
' nre able to form such coalitions with tho independents as
to enable them to name the presiding officer u:id chair
men, thpre is Htlle likelihood of any material changes be
ing made in the present line-up, except, of course, where
Democratic leaders have suffered a defeat, in iheir dis
tricts. Champ Clark will be the Speaker and Claude Kit-
chin the majority l.adcr, and other North Carolinians will
preside over the important committees as now.
Wkh the tables turned, and the Republicans having the
privilege of organizing the House, the complexion of
things will change up entirely. The election of Speaker
(Will precipitate a moat interesting fight. Logically, the
'Republicans will want to promote their present House

Chairman WUicox of the Republican National Com
mittee says, in substance: The American people are
entitled to know beyond a question as to their choico.
They do not desire to have a man in the White House
whose t'tlo is In the least clouded.
Mr. Willcox is right and the Mums todate from the
forty eight states of the Union indicate that the people
have mado it clear whom is their choic. No! un(iutjt;oi-I Validity I.S Questioned

hanging over their chief executive nor do they wan', to
have any man, who would acc-j,t such title, even par
ticipating in a campaign as the nominee of any great
party.
Mr. Wilson has been chosen to succeed hirnsolf at the
end of a campaign which has been marked so far as he has
been concerned by that dignity and bearing, which should
characterize the man, called to so lofty place. His op
ponent, Mr. Hughes, has on the other hand resorted :o

President Wilson In his acceptance of the nomination nf
his party down to the last speech that he made was c n
ducte.I on a plane, which would be expected of a ward
heeling, peanut politician, but not from a candidate for
high office.
Mr. Hughes' villification of the President of The l.'-it-j r""nty -Co mm

tasteful to every right thinking person and his supjurt!
has come not because of his unwarranted attacks on ihei

WELCOME. CHURCH PEOPLE!
The Free Press, in behalf of the citizens of Kinston,
welcomes tho visiting church people, who have como here
for the sessions of tho State convention of the Christian
church, beginning tonight, and running through Thurs
doy. Not only are prominent members of tho brotherhood
from various congregations of the State here, but repre
sentatives of the sevtral national boards will bo heard.
Kinston is glad to have state gatherings always, and
especially so when the religious and patriotic organiza
tions come.
Tho homes of the city hnvo been thrown open to the
visiting delegates, and everything will be done to afford
them comfort and pleasure while in our midst.
An analysis of the votes cast last Tuesday for Cha.-l?s
Evans Hughes but bears out our estimate of the Intelli
gence of the American people. Our contention before
election was that the Intelligent except, of courts, we
mado allowance for the partisans people of the United
States would not turn their backs on the true and tried for
the enigmatical and untried. Mr. Hughes' chief strength.
it developed, came from the centers, where large numbers
of illiterate and ignorant foreigners voted. The grea
rank and file of the Intelligent business, professional, ag
ricultural and industrial men voted for Woodrow Wilson.

WILMINGTON AFTER PACKING PLANT.
Wilmington Star: "Orangeburg, S. C, having orga
nized a packing house company last summer has follow
ed it up by organizing a creamery. A creamery is a
ollateral industry along with the livestock industry that
is always prompted by a packing house indus'ty. Later
will come u cheese factory, and yet that is not all, since
a huge growth of the livestock industry in a state means
a tunnery sooner or later.
There is no other farm industry with so many possi
bilities in it as tho livestock industry, and once Ka.u rn
North Carolina promotes the raisintr of cattle, hogs, sheep
