One great joke, following the
speeches that Mr. Pritehard has
been making in North Carolina,
scoring the democrats because of the
wetness of New York Democracy, is
that the Republican party in New
York, following the lead of New
Jersey and Morrow, has adopted a
platform calling for the repeal of
the 18th Amendment, and nominated
Charles H. Tuttle for governor, who
is running as an opponent of Na
tional prohibition. The temperance
forces in New York will organize a
third party and nominate their own
dry candidates. f
Bishop Cannan, fresh from his
ecclesiastical and bridal trip to Bra
nil and under charges preferred by
elders of his church, arriving in New
York, makes an a Hack ui tiie Cath
olics of America, charging that they
froffi the Pope down, are opp.ised to
prohibition. _Jam<'s L. Dowling, chair
man of the Boston Association of
Catholics favoring prohibition, re
plied to the Bishop, saying thai the
Cannon statement is untrue, stating'
that Catholics have helped enact the ?
prohibition laws, that there is a Na,
tional organization of Catholics, with
branches in every state, imposed of
men and women, who are working
hand in hand with their Protestant
brethren on this most important
question. He closcd by saying: "The
Catholics of America view the state
nvent of Bishop Cannon as an intol
arable insult both to their church
and to themselves." But, the bishop
had to say something, and perhaps
the safest thing" under the eircum
stances, was to take a I ling at the
Catholics.
It keeps being stated that Senator
Nye's senatorial smelling eonnuittee
will investigate the .June primary
held in North Carolina. It is just an
other move to kick up a dust, and
distract the minds of the peop+e. I
know nothing about what was done
in any county except Jackson, and
|-I take it that this county was a fail
index to the, entire State. There wa.s
not a single absentee ballot east in
any Democratic box in this county.
Therre was no organization to speak
of, and 110 concerted effort to get
anybody to vote for either Mr. Bai
ley or Senator Simmons. If there
was any money spent in this county
on behalf of Mr. Bailey, 1 saw 110
indications of if, ai-.I .la<-kson conn
ty gave Mr. Bailey as large a per
centage of its vote as dfd any county
in the entire State. It was a fair
open primary, every democrat going
to the polls and making his own
choice. Two thousand two hundred
and forty four of them cho c, of
their own volition, to vote for Mr..
Bailey, w hie two hundred and fiftv
four preferred Senator Simmons. If
this is any business of Senator Nye
or anybody else, oxeept the voters
themselves, I fail to see it. My hon
?st opinion is that there has never
been a fairer election, conducted with
less attempt to persuasion, bribery
or coercion, than that held between
Mr. Bailey and Senator Simmons, so
far as this county is concerned: and
I take it that the same thing holds
true throughout the St.ue, for -Tack
son county would have been made no
exception. An investigation, or rath
er the agitation of an 'investigation,
and charges repeatedly made, at this
time, that money from New York
was used in behalf of Bailey, might
help Congressman Ceo. Piitchard's
chance, if indeed he has any of being
elected to the United States senate:
and here we find the rtgger in the
woodpile.

The Stamp of Good F

A symbol that signifies
quality and price
What's in a name? Nothing but the nclion a::d
conduct that lie behind it and give it sp?i\-|
significance. So the simple characters, "A&P,"
have come to have a place in the speech of most
Americans as a symbol for high quality food at low
prices. ?
There is a sound reason for this. Sticking to
its policy for nearty three-quarters ot a century,
A&P has sold the best foods it could buy at
prices made possible only by serving many cus
tomers with the kind of food they want.
- Thus "A&P" has become a hall mark for
sterling grades of food at a cost which used to be
associated only with poorer grades. A&P cus
tomers depend on its trade mark as buyers ot
silver depend on the stamp. "Sterling," for solid
metal. j
