Clyde Hoey Delivered Speech Mon day Night'for Gardner McCall, . for Morrison, Followed Tueaday Night j' . A full Republican ticket for coun ty officers, including a candidate for the house of representatives, was nominated here- Saturday by the Re publican mass meeting-convention, following the nomination of the county ticket Dr. J. L Campbell of Stanly county, Republican candidate lor Congress to oppose R. L. Dough ton, Democratic congressman from the eighth congressional district, ad dressed the meeting. The Republicans nominated the following ticket to oppose the Demo cratic candidates to be nominated soon, and in addition to this ticket elected E. F. Wakefield chairman of the county executive committee and re-elected J. Ward Hollirieid as sec retary and treasurer of the commit tee.. The county ticket nominated is as follows: House, A. A. Blackwel- der, Lenoir township; surveyor, Jas. B. Isbell, Lenoir township; treasurer, E. C. Conley, Hudson township; reg ister of deeds, Grant Miller, Love lady township; sheriff, J. M. Smith, Lenoir township; coroner,' Dr. A. B. Goodman, Lenoir township; commis sioners, W. W. Watson, Lower Creek township; C. M. Rader, John's River township, and" J. J. Roberts, Little River township. The convention was not devoid of a show oi feeling and some excite ment. It was called" to order by Sec retary Hollifleld, who asked Mr. Rob ert Miller of Buffalo to act as tem porary secretary. The nomination of E. F. Wakefield for temporary chairman was made by P. B. Bush and seconded by A. V. Miller. A ris ing vote seated Mr. Wakefield. The temporary chairman took advantage of this opportunity to deliver a lengthy speech on why he was a Re publican. Thirty-eight years ago he said he left the ranks of the Democratic par ty, havin gseen the light of day. "I am now a Republican, unvarnished, unD&inted and undefiled." He nic- tured the government as a rudderless ship drifting on the rocks of destruc tion, drifting without a captain or crew. This . drifting has passed ... throujta a Period of eight years, foi lowing the time when, in excellent shape, the ship of state was turned over to the Democratic party. Eight years ago the people were prosperous and contented. Think of the condition of the la boring people, the condition of bur agricultural enterprises and the transportation conditions. We must overcome this right now in the pri mary and convention. We must be gin to do our duty. The record of Senator Harding, the Republican nominee for President, was lauded as working along the line of Theo dore Roosevelt.. At the close of the speaker's ad dress Mr. C, E. Conley placed a mo tion before the convention to enter into the nomination of candidates. Mr. Eugene Miller put another mo .tion before the house to postpone the matter of nominating candidates, and the Miller motion was sceonded by D. M. Cline, a member of the ex ecutive committee from Lovelady township. Messrs. Miller and Cllne contended that the mass meetincr-eon vention was out of order, and that the candidates could not be legally nominated under the procedure, Mr. Hollifleld opposed this motion, say ing that the fnass meeting-convention had been called following a majority expression from the county executive committee. Tori a v is the locical time he said, and we do not have to wait until the Democrats have held their convention . before we nominate our men. Mr. R. H. Pipes made an effort to bring the opposing factions together, ' saying that he believed that some f u 1 ture day would better serve the pur pose for the nomination. Dr. Good man wanted, to put the question be fore the meeting to be settled, saying that we can elect a ticket no matter when we nominate it Mr. Miller i1' ' 1 ' ' ' , ' ' (Continued on page twelve) - Birthday Dinner ' Last Sunday, June 27, his children. grandchildren and friends surorised by Mr. Darius Cline by gathering at hu home and spreading a sumptuous dinner in honor of his b&th birthday.

Wx "Miller on North Main-street and will use it for a show room in connection with their automobile business. The national Democratic conven tion has been in session in San Fran cisco since Monday. Seating the del egates and arranging the platform were the first matters to be taken up. It .was expected that the nominating speeches would begin yesterday and continue until today. With administration forces contin uing in apparently complete control it perfected its organization, accept ing Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas as its permanent chairman; permitted States to upset the unit rule; jrovided for taking women on the Democratic national committee, and prepared for the business of hav ing candidates nominated by adopt ing an order of business which will permit the delivery of nominating speecnes nerore the piatiorm is brought -in. Balloting for a nominee, however, will not be permitted before the platform has been adopted by the convention. It was freely predicted that Wil- iam G. McAdoo will be the nominee before half a dozen ballots are taken. Teh convention refused to seat Senator James A. Reed of Missouri in the convention. Reed is a bitter Dnonent to the leaeue of nations. The vote 'refusing to seat him was 34 to 12. Actual work on the Democratic platform was begun" Tuesday night by the sub-committee of nine after last-minute suggestions from many sources had been heard at an all-day public hearing. The committee met behind closed doors. Just before, it was called to order Chairman Glass announced that nothing would be made public re garding sub-committee recommends' tions until the lull committee had passed upon them. When the sub-committee met tne most serious problems confronting the convention, including prohibition, the league of nations and the Irish Question, still were far from solution and it was apparent that some of these subiects at least would develop fights in the full committee and prob abl yon the convention floors regard less -of what action the sub-commit tee might take, A dispatch from San rrancisco says the sub-committee of nine mak in? a preliminary draft of the nlat form rejected Tuesday night a pro posal to include a wet plank. The ratio of two to one. deliberations and vote were in se- ute books by it. In urging the rati- cret. but it was understood that the ! ncation oi the league of nations Mr, vote against a wet plank was at a i Hoey said that a Republican Con gress was spending lor tne present hscal year enough money on the army ana navy to Duim a macadam road to every county seat in the United Mates. Mr. McCall A fair-sized crowd Tuesday nieht heard Hon J: u. McCall of Charlotte defend Mr. Morrison of some of the charges that have been made against him during the campaign. In the be ginning Mr. McCall stated that Gard ner was a kinsman of his and was genueman, ana mat he was ashamed to say that the charges that have been made against Morrison came from Mecklenburg county and not irom bheiby. The speaker dealt specifically with the charges of immorality, drunken ness and dishonesty.' and branded all the charges as false and said that they were all the products of dis gruntled people of Mecvklenburg county. Air. McCall stated that he had known Morrison from boyhood and that he was a Christian gentle man, f The speaker made a plea that Mor rison be given this high office as a reward f or the gallant service he ren dered the. party for the past twenty- five years. Mr. McCall concluded by denounc ing the '"Shelby office-holding trust" and just as Vigorously condemning Woman suffrage and politics, saying that "He..who jnarries a suffragette will suffer more 'than he has suffered yet" .... : Autos Run Together I Wat Ernest's big Hudson and one of the big cars of the Robbins jitney line ran together at the intersection of Harper avenue and Mulberry street Tuesday evening. The Rob bins car was going north on Mulberry and Ernest's car east on Harper. The drivers of both cars seem to have failed to slow down to the safety point at this dangerous crossing. Lit tle damage was done. COUNTY CONVENTION ONLYTWOWEEKSOFF ' " ' k ' Little' . Talk So Far of Prospective Candidates Mr. E. L. Steele -Will Not Run Again fori Treaaurer With the Democratic county con vention a little less than two weeks off, little street talk is heard regard ing the coming probable nominations. E. L. Steele, present treasurer of the county, has renewed his statement to the effect that he will not stand for rnnnmination. When he-elected two years ago Mr. Steele said that he would not ask for the office again. Mr. Steele's failure to put himself in line for this office throws- it com pletely open for new men. The man who ia beinir most vrominentlv men tioned as his successor is J. L. Sud- dreth,' who lives west ef Lenoir. It is also said that Mr. R. P. Lenoir of Yadkin Valley and Mr. D. H. Warlick of Granite Falls will not enter the race as contestants for the nomina tion for county commissioner. , W. O. Johnson of North Catawba, E. L. Curtis, and T. C. Robbins. of Lenoir have been mentioned in this connec tion. 'I The name of Mr. Clarence Moore of Granite Falls is being prominently mentioned now for the nomination for the house of representatives. Mr, Moore is a young man of ability and will doubtless make a good race if he receives the nomination. - . It seems now' that Alexander will nut no a candidate for her nlaca in the Senate. So far Caldwell county has two men! who have made any nouncement for the Senator to be elected from .htis county. Lawrence Wakefield issued his Announcement last . week, and this week the , an nouncement of A. W. Dula goes out, 'Home from Hospital Mr. Kelly Coffey, who lives in the Rosborough section above Edgemont, was' taken home -Tuesday from the hospital at Morganton, where he had been taking treatment since he suf fered a stroke of paralysis two and a half months ago. He was accom panied by his .brother, Mr, Monroe Coffey, U. S. forester. ' 4) 7 Factory Started Up Monday Evening , Making Panta for Boya Will Employ About Twenty Five Girla A erowd which almost filled "ihe courthouse was out Monday night to hear Hon. Clyde Hoey. member of Congress from the ninth district, make a good old Democratic party speech, and incidentally in support of the candidacy of 0. Max Gardner for the nomination for governor. ; Mr. Hoey was introduced by Mark Squires. - By way of introduction Mr.' Hoey answered the claim of some of Mor rison's supporters who criticised him for working for the nomination of his fellow county man, and assured his hearers that he is a Democrat first and a Gardner man second, and that if Morrison is nominated he will make ten speeches for Morrison for every one that Morrison has ever made for him. i With reference to the "Shelbv of fice-holding trust" the speaker said that .Mecklenburg had more office holders on btate and Federal pay roll than any county in western North Carolina except Buncombe. Mr. Hoey said that Jim Barrett. who has been opposing Gardner in this campaign, is a life-long Madison county Republican and that his eon- federate in this campaign, McMahon, is an importation from Georgia who has not been in the State long enough to vote. He then showed one of the tickets circulated to all the union men in Asheville asking them to vote for Morrison. Mr.-Hoev then srave figures to show that in the first pri mary Gardner carried air the princi pal labor centers of the State as well as the counties in which the farmers union is strongest, nearly all these counties over both opponents, at that. The speaker then reviewed the claims of Morrison that he should be nominated as a reward for his work in connection with the Red Shirt campaign. He pointed out that in the counties where this organization was strongest (Union, Anson, Rich mond, Scotland, Robeson, Cumber land, Columbus and New Hanover) Gardner received most of the votes and that Morrison carried not one,ofl thro At work at hospitals of Vienna," these counties, ' '-t . n, He devoted the principal, part of his speech to an account of the stew ardship of the Democratic party in fctate and nation during the past sev en years, and pointed out some of the great legislation placed on the stat The Moore-Corpening Clothing Mrf.

Im provements and conveniences have been installed, and every considera tion f6r the employes has been pro vided for.

The final session of the meet, ing was held Wednesday night - . The convention party left for Blowing Rock Thursday morning in automobiles. The "B. & L. Special" had been arranged, with about 20 to 25 automobiles in the procession. The entire convention party made the trip. The first stop on reaching the mountain resort was at Blowing Rock Cliffs, where half an hour was spent enjoying the scenery of the wonderful Globe basin., Following this stop the May view Park half -million-dollar development project was . visited. Leaving the Mayview Park, the party returned to Green Park Ho tel for dinner. During the dinner hour many short talks were enjoyed. President Wooten first called on E. C. Keesler of Charlotte. Others who spoke during the hour were Mark Squires of Lenoir, John r arr of Char- ; lotte, Charles Ek McCrary of Lexing ton, J. H. Beall of Lenoir, E. F. Al len of Lenoir, Mr. Goodwin of Eliz- - abeth City, Mr. Little of Wilmington, Mr. James of Greenville, W. L. Min ish of Lenoir, Mayor Pritchett of Le noir and others. At the close of the dinner nour the guests spent some time at the hotel. and then visited Chetola, the beauti ful estate developed by W. W. String- fellow, who sold it .last year to Mr. Holt of Lexington, and Green Hill and other points of interest about the village. With the exception of sev eral who wished to spend some days at Blowing Rock the party returned to Lenoir in the afternoon. At the first session of the league, which was held Wednesday after noon, the response to Mayor Pritch- , ett's address of welcome was made 1 by Joseph W. Little of Wilmington. Following Mr. Little s response, a re port of the secretary and treasurer, . A. C. Craig of Charlotte, was read and adopted. ' ' One of the strongest addresses or the afternoon was delivered by C. A. Hines of Charlotte on V Co-operation, . the Watchword of Modern Busijiiss. Mr. Hines' address was not only ap- plied to building and loan activities, but to all other activities of a busi ness, or social, or of any nature. Co-operation is defined ty be "the act of working together to' the same end." It suggests miitusll benefit, and negatives the idea of advantage for some at the disadvantage of oth ers... While its aim is mutual help, it necessarily means also that there must be effort and enterprise on the part of all who are co-operating. The word .is sometimes used to embrac profit-sharing, but it does not neces- sarily include the idea of a division of profits. It certainly does not mean communism, and it is not a synonym for socialism. Co-operation is older than the hu man family. It is suggested in the .beginning of the Bible by the crea tion of animals in pairs. As soon as the Creator saw man alone upon earth the need of a helpmeet was realized and such a companion provided. For a long while co-operation may have been confined to the family, but it could not remain so, limited. It became necessary for families to co operate with- each other - to defend society against foes, both within and without the community, this was the beginning of government. It would be an interesting study to trace the development bf the co-op erative idea in governmental affairs, but time, forbids. We must, how ever, notice that the ultimate result of such growing co-operation about to be realized in the form of a league of nations, the W$rk of which is, by co-operative effort, to maintain the peace, of the world, the dignity and civil rights of large and small nations and the business interests Ot people tnrougnout tne eartn. Ana thus we shall indeed become citizen of the world, and we are to become ' such because we -are co-operating with all the world. ' : i , Just as the idea has grown in the realm of statecraft, it has -grown in - the field of business. Co-operation had its small beginnings in commer cial affairs just as it did in civil mat ters. Men found that they could do many things more effectively and wbleTM itiation. get into communication with Wilkes county authorities in order to gee an other bond arranged. . ; Mr. Caviness was arrested here '.
