PRESIDENT WILSON IS
PICTURED AS CASUALTY
OP THE WORLD WAR
Secretary Tumulty Gives Intimate
Sketch Of the Manner Of Man the
resident Keally Is, Touching
Hitherto Unpublished Incidents In
His Official Life His Hair Is
White, His Shoulders Are Bowed,
His Figure Is Bent.
(Washington Special)
of man this
Woodrow Wil Rfvn
really is," based on 10 years as his
private secretary and touched here
and there with hitherto unpublished
incidents in the President's official
life, was drawn tonight by Jos. P.
Tumulty, speaking at a Democratic
mass meeting, just over the line in
Maryland.
Mr. Tumulty described the Presi
dent "as a man as strangely misun
derstood by some and as violently
misrepresented by others as any man
in the whole history of Aniericanffo
litics." He had . long desired, he
said, to tell the country that he knew,in
of Mr. Wilson's character but had re
trained in the knowledge that the
President "who shrinks from self ex
ploitation would resent exploitation
by his fritnds."
With the approach of Mr. Wilson's
retirement to private life, however.
Secretary Tumulty . continued, "it
seems to me not improper that just
oeiore tne curtain rises on the last
act, I modestly step out from my ob
scurity in the wings, and tell the au
dience a few things about the leading
actor in this great drama of the past
eight years."
Among incidents of which he drew
to illustrate his subject, Mr. Tumul
ty recalled the reaction of the Presi
dent to the applause which delivery
of his war measure to Congress on
April 6, 1917.
The Applause Seemed Strange.
"On that fateful day," Secretary
Tumulty said, "I rode with him back
from the capitol to the White Housed
the echo of the applause still ringing
in my ear. For awhile he sat silent
and pale in the cabinet room. . At
last he said : 'Think what it was they
were applauding. It means death
for our young men. How strange it
seems to applaud thai'
"That simple remark," Secretary
Tumulty continued, "is one key to an
understanding of Woodrow Wilson,"
who, he said, hated and dreaded war
with "all of the fibres of his human
soul.'
Wilson's determination, to rirtp in
- the f unerai precession of the marines
;nriH sniinrs tiiiri nt Vpm p wvm-
their bodies vere brought to New
York- Disquieting rumors that an
attack was planned on his life haft
reached secret service men, Mr. Tu
multy said, and "one undertook to
argue with him, saying: 'You will
show all proper respect by appearing
i:i the re iewing stand- The country
cannot afford to lose its President.'
"His reply was. The country
cannot afford to have a coward for
President' This was his brief and
final answer. He rode in the pro
cession." The sternness of Woodrow Wilson,
his secretary declared, was just the
reverse side of his humane nature
ana made nothing more natural man
that he should have become the
champion of small nations.
The President's insistence upon
article X of the league of covenant,
was explained as a wish to forestall
the necessity of the United States
going to war by making it a partici
pant "in a plan to prevent the begin
ning of such a war."
Wilson As a Warrior.
In contrast to Mr. Wilson's self
proclaimed "passion for peace," Sec
retary Tumulty declared that "when
the challenge came from Germany to
America, when the American mind
was ready for war this same Wood-
row Wilson became the most uncom
promising advocate of the most
stringent measures for
the end of the war."
conducting
Tf ixroa Vi 99 Gnnrflforv Tlimilltv
continued, "who insisted on mining
the North sea to cut off the German
x ct j-i, n-,
hornets. Experts said that it could
not be done. The civilian Wilson
said it could be done, must be done,
and it was. It was the civilian Wil
son who broached the plan for com
bining the allied powers in the west
under the supreme command of Gen
eral Foch in order that all the allied
forces could be concentrated on the
German forces to crush them. In
his mind the supreme object of this
war was to end war."
The "grave fault" which Secre
tary Tumulty asserted he found with
the President was his ignorance of
"how to play to the gallery." .
The secretary told of a journalist
who wished to have the President
"do one of the stunts that the public
dearly loves to read about" and of
the comment of the President
"He said to me: "Tumulty, you
must realize that I am not built for
these things. I do not want to be
displayed before the public. If .1
tried to do it I would do it badly. I
want people to love me, but they ne
ver will.' "
Draws Two Pictures.
Two final pictures. Mr. Tumulty
said he desired to draw, the first,
that of the President in 1917, "a
straight, vigorous, slender man, ac
tive and alert"
"The other picture is only three
and a half years later. There is a
parade of veterans of the great war.
They are to be reviewed by the Pre
sident on the east terrace of the

barns of tobacco, was destroyed by

No one had been in the pack housa

Mr. Daniel is a hardworking man

THE EYES OF THE WORLD
UPON THE UNITED STATES
Never before in the history of A

so much interest in the outcome of a
national election as in the battle of
ballots being cast today. In France
and Great Britain and scores of oth
er Nations, even including Germany,
the course of the campaign is being
watched with keen interest because
of the League of Nations issue, and
the outcome of the election is being
awaited almost with suspense.

PRESIDENT'S NEW
. REGULATIONS IN
APPOINTING POSTMASTERS
It Is Expected To Precipitate a
Row.
President Wilson's radical amend
ment of his existing executive order)
regarding the civil service examina-1
tions in appointing postmasters is ex
pected to develop a political row
when Congress convenes and nomi
nations are made under the new reg
ulations. The text of the amend
ment order, carried today in the pos
tal ibuiietin and thus brought to pub
lic notice, makes it possible for. the;
postmaster general to name a post
master, some one already in classi
fied service, without holding a com
petitive examination.
For instance, under the order as
changed an assistant postmaster, let
ter carrier, inspector or clerk, in any
office, if found qualified and already
in the classified list, may be promot
ed to postmaster without outside
competition in a civil service exami
nation. It is understood that the order is
retroactive and therefore may not
effect such offices as Greensboro and
Winston-Salem, where examinations
have already been held, though : the
results have not been announced. It
will effect all other offices in North
Carolina and elsewhere, however,
and means that if the postmaster
general finds someone who is "qual
ified" in the service no new exami
nation need be held.
BUSINESS WILL BRIGHTEN
UP SOON AFTER ELECTION
A period of stagnation always sets
in a few weeks before presidential
elections, and it never fails to return
to normal a few- weeks or months la
ter. Most everybody conceeds that af
ter election day has passed there will
be a decided increase in buying in
general, but most everybody thinks
that the election itself will have lit
tle bearing on market conditions. Of
course there will be the temporary
i fluctuations on the various markets,
but in the end the tice will turn up
ward and the pressure of the past
few weeks will be greatly relieved.
The Wall Street Journal, the best
authority in the land, says that busi
ness is due to an, upward turn imme
diately following the election.

PAST TEN YEARS SHOW IN
CREASE OF GRANVILLE FARMS

firm3 tMs year ag compared with
census, worm uaronna nas zby,iJ
253,725 in 1910 and 224,667 in 1900
In other words, the number of farms
in the State increased 16,015 during
the last decade, as compared with an
increase of 29,088 in the decade 1900
to 1910. The percentage increase
for the last decade is only about half
that of the decade before.
The census report for Granville
county has not been issued, but it is
safe to estimate that during the past
ten years the number of Granville
; county farms has been increased by
150 while for the decade prior the
increase was only 50. , In other
words, during the past, twenty year3
the number of farms show a net in

in rightly acquainting the Raleie-h

of dance, as appealing to sensualitv
