Such a campaign always affects the course of business and finance in some de gree. More than that, it tends always to raise questions in the minds of men of every walk of life, relative to the efficiency of their Government, the propriety of policies undertaken or advocated and , the continued stability of - national institutions which may be subject to attack. The American Bankers Association is not engaged In partisan politics and it convention at Chicago, Sep tember '29-October 2d, was entirely devoid of partisan flavor. The con vention* however, necessarily took note of the situation in which the country finds itself. It naturally sur veyed its own and related fields, in order that its highest intelligence and utmost energy may be devoted to the maintenance of those principles of economic sanity and progress to which we ai'e always devoted Banking itself is an agency. Bank ers are vitally interested in all the great industries which make up- the economic life of the nation. As bank ers ? and as citizens ? we reviewed in.our general sessions, some of the important^ problems affecting these industries and undertook to con tribute to their solution. Such a sur vey is important to every section of our country and to every banker who is a member of this Association. Much time was devoted to a, dis cussion of the moral condition of the country and to solutions of the fix in which the country finds itself, morally. EAST LA PORTE Mr. and Mrs A.

ALLEY MAKES TWO SPEECHES "The Old Ship of Democracy is assailed on the one side by the forces of reaction, special previlege and corruption, nder Calvin Coolidge and by the forces of Bolshevism, Socialism and Radicalism, under Robert M. LaFollette, on the other; and John W. Davis, the captain of the 8hip, is saying unto them, you may destroy me if you will, but I will hold my rudder true in the course of conservatism, democrcay and progress", declared Hon. Felix E. \ Alley, speaking to a large audience at Cullowhee the educational center of Western North Caroliia Wednes day mght. Mr. Alley recited the history of the two great political parties, laud ed the "great code of remedial legis lation" enacted under the Wilson Administration, uot one letter of which, he declared, the republicans have had the temerity to repeal. He attacked the present adminis tration, charging graft and corrup tion in connection with the Teapot Dome oil scandle, the administration of the department of justice, under Dangherty, and the vetrans ' bureau under Forbes. He declared that the republican party cannot ogcape tho wrath of the people by disclaiming responsibility for the acts of its officials, and warned the people that the republican "party has ever been the party of special privilege. The speaker compared Davis with Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson, and declared that with Davis elected we will have another Wood row Wilson in the White House. "Mr. Davis", asserted Mr. Alley, < "is the best prepared and best equipped man for the presidency since Jefferson, and he will be the next president of the United States". Mr. Alley, speaking in his native county and at tin school where he was educated, was perfectly at home, speaking to people he has known all his life and with whom he fought, the battles of the democratic party since early youngmanhood. He was introduced by Prof. Robert L. Mad ison, candidate on the democratic ticket for representative from Jack son county. Mr. Alley, in referring to Prof. Madison, stated that he was the best friend he had ever known, and that all that he has and is and ever will be is due to Prof. Madison, as is true of numbers of young men and young women in this mountain country. Before he finished his cn conium of Prof.Madison, the speak er's voice was husky and tears were streaming down his face, and thero was scarcely a dry eye in the audi torium. Mr. Alley spoke on Monday night, at the court house in Sylva, being introdueed by Mrs. Clarence A. Bales. At both plkces and on both occasions he fired his audiences with enthus iasm, and he was frequently inter rupted by great applause when ho mentioned the name of Wilson or of Davis, and when he referred to oil, Mr,. Alley is making a tour of tho congressional distinct, on h^s own expenses, as a candidate for no of fice, and will deliver 25 speeches be fore election day. ( . On next Wednesday night, at East La Porte, the great logging camp of the Blackwood Lumber Company, he will be the chief speak er of what the Jackson county dem ocrats plan to make the great rally / of' the campaign. Jackson is always the battle ground -of the congressional district ?' and both parties fight for every inch of ground. METHODIST CHURCH Sunday School at 9:45 A. M. C. L. Allison, Supt.
