The daddyship or the load law seemed lobelhecruxoiinecouniy qu.-.-.,... - Wakefield yesterday, where the various candidates before the Wake county pri-. maries addressed a crowd of not over eifchty persons, Including candidates and all, in the academy building. "The daddy of the road law himself Is ashamed of It. Who isn't ashamed of it? If the devll himself was necused of having anything to do v. ill H ho would be ashamed of it," from the speeh of '1'' 1. Ilone.yeutt of "Wakefield, candidate for the house of reprfiseriVA 1 "I've got to touch the road la. Ta -' ro.ther touch It with a stick than any thing else, for it's dead." W. C. Doug lass of Raleigh, candidate for the house. "After one of the conferences of the hoard of county-commissioners and the members of the legislature I was given a rough draft of the road law and had 1i typewritten by a young lady at' the capltol. 'I paid her the charge on it, i'o.'X), out of my pocket rather than keep her waiting for the board. to pay her. I disclaim being the father of the bill." Percy J. olive of Apex, candi date for the state senate. --':...'::-'- "I am glad Mr.. 'Olive assumes re sponsibility for the road law, for there was a report that 1 was responsible for it. Talk has gone 'around of the unpopularity of the 1903 road law. It was not that, but the road law of 1905 that was so unpopular, if Mr. Olive was opposed to it then, as lie says, I tm sorry he ever allowed it to puss. It lie had prevented it from passing II 'Would have been better for the people of WHke county." John C. Drewry of Balelgh, candidate for the state senate. "It has been asked who is the daddy of tho present road law? I do not know, but I "do know that Mr. Norris got pay for drawing it. I drew the road law of 1903 and got $50. Mr. Norris drew the road law of 1905 'and got $100 and drew twice as mean a law as I did." Bart M. Gatllng of Kaltigh, for mer county attorney. "I'll tell you who are the daddies of the road law. Herbert K. Norris and Percy J. Olive. It's the Norrls-Olive road law." W. C. Brewer of Wake Forest, candidate for county commis sioner. Another thing that appeared to agi tate the Wakefield folk was the charge that the gentlemen who are-candldatcs' for county commissioners' are running In the Interest of some of the old office holders of the county and that if elected they will restore to their former' posi tions W. G. Allen as road superinten dent or superintendent of the county home, Bart Gatllng as county attorney, and Dr. J. J. L. McCullers as county physician. Mr. Norris has several times on the campaign said that there wfcre evidences of this, and he repeated It yesterday, declaring that Dan Allen had quit selling shoes for the present and was In Halelgh working for the men who are trying to get elected as county commissioners. He didn't blame Uiese men for working to get bock their Jobs. They were Jobs worth having. Mr. Brewer made a. speech In which he warmly .refuted the inference that he and his fellow candidates for county commissioners were running in the in terest of anybody who wanted a Job. Mr. Brewer read a letter from W. G. Allen, In which he said that he re gretted to see that his name was being dragged into this campaign In Waka county, especially since he was not Able to be here to defend himself. He was a Robesonlan now and very busy building good roads In Robeson county. ' He had no idea of becoming a candl-1 (late for the position of road superin tendent In Wake county. Mr. Norris "If you are elected will you vote for Mr. Allen?" Mr. Brewer "I will not vote for Mr. Allen." Mr. Norrls "How about Dr. McCul lers and Mr. Gatllng?" Mr. Brewer "If the Non-ia board Won't vote for Mr. Norris for county attorney, I will not vote for either Dr. McCullers or Mr. Galling." Mr. Norris "If I will withdraw, will you?" ' Mr. Brewer "That's a horse of an other color. I have made no promises, but will do all in my power if elected to chango the Norris-Olive road law and get rid of Norrisism and all kinds of bosslsm." Mr. Norris "Will you free the peopto from working. tho ror.ds?"-.'' Mr. Brewer "I will do all In my power to keep the people from working the roads and paying taxes besides." Mr. Norris "That's not an answer to my (lueslmn." Seeral times Air. Norris called tin Mr. Brewer to give a direct answer to the question,, nnd Anally Mr. Brewer said: "I will do all in my power to frea the people from working the loads. IS that plain enough? (Loud cheering.) If that's not. pluin enough' I'll let you frame the answer and I'll see if I can si;n it." Mr. Norris ''Will you ask them to raise taxes?" 1 1' Tii-n-..i.

One of the curious features of the. debate in (he upper house of parliament on the bill of the lower house providing for the abolition pf tho death penally, Wfis a speech made by Father Butkavieli, a priest elected by the orthodox clergy In which he seriously defended the death penalty on the ground that it was Justified both by -God and 'Christ, citing the laws of Moses and Christ's statement before Pilate as recognition of the right to impose punishment. liech, today, declares that the tone of the debate in the upper house yes terday leaves little hope that this "as sembly of buheaucrats, land and com mercial magnates and representatives of the reactionary nobility and clergy,, with a small leaven of 'liberals," will ever be able to work In harmony with' the progressive ideas represented in parliament. The Novo Vremya on the contrary, defends tho conservative spirit of the upper house and appeals to the em peror not to entrust power to the con- stitutional democrats of the lower house, who, the paper Insists, are "augmenting the danger of an explo sion by their cowardly --refusal either to clasp hands with tho right or break with the left."

Judge Adams Re-elected Chairman by Ninety-five Majority A New Method of Distributing Patronage. (Special to the Evening Times.) Greensboro, July 11. The re publican convention of North Caro lina, -which adjourned at 11:45 last night, will be recorded as one of the most dramatic political assemblages and notable gatherings oi that party ever held In this state. Tht feature of transcendent' Im portance to the commonwealth has been generally lost sight of in the hurried reports. This feature was not the contest between Adams and Blackburn for state chairman; it was not the adoption of a new method for (he distribution of federal patronage in Hie state; it was not the nomlna- ( Hon of ex-Associate Justice R. M. Douglas of the supreme court, with his anti-corporation record, so-called, for corporation commissioner; it wan not even the notable address of Sec retary of War Win. H. Taft, in which he laid down the law to southern re publicans nnd told them that before they deservad success they must pre sent to tlie voters tickets which mer ited their approval arid afforded safe refuge for the laborers and business interests tired or disgusted with the democratic party. On the other hand the really note worthy act, in the opinion of many close students of politics, was the passage of a resolution, introduced last night after the adoption of the platform, urging the legislature to submit, to the voters of the state the question of extending the grandfather clause of the suffrage provision of tne state constitution. The republi cans have declared, for the reason that the means of acquiring an edu cation has not been placed in the reach of all, in favor of permitting white men to register under the grand father clause until 1920, which de fers for twelve years the day when the negroes and the whites will have to stand on the same basis and pass the educational test. While this may aid the illiterate whites, it IB an equal blow, so many think, to the blacks. iind besides it is the first clear cut and unmistakable acceptance by the republicans-' of the constitutional amendment. Besides its adoption came swift upon the heels of Secre tary Tuft's speech in which he point ed out that the ultimate result of all suffrage legislation in the south would be to ultimately apply the same tests to whites and blacks, and that at no far distant day. The sec retary further asserted that there could be no objection to suffrage re striction which excluded impartially the ignorant and the incompetent from the ballot. Douglas Nominated. Next in importance to the suffrage resolution was perhaps the nomina tion of the ex-Associae Justice Doug las of Greensboro for corporation commissioner. In placing him before the convenion. Col. Harry Skinner asserted that Judge Douglas' record was a platform- in Itself he had al ways been on the side of restraining and restricting corporations and was in striking contrast to the dem ocratic nominee, whom Capt. Laugh inghouse and others had attacked be fore the democratic convention, and could not consistently support against Judge Douglas. The method adopted for the dis tribution of federal patronage, print ed in the platform in this Issue, is novel nnd will interest the public. It involves a radical change. Convention's Work. The work of the republican conven Hon at Greensboro can be briefly re viewed. It assembled with two fac tions, the Blackburn-Harris men fotf the election of either of the two o some one of their friends for chair -(Continued on Page Two.)
