Bailey Will Take the Stump For A. VV- McLean. Brock Barkley in Charlotte Observer. Raleigh, June 13.—Democratic Chair man John G. Dawson, expects to present one grnnd display of unified democracy in the elections campaign next fall. His speech-making roster will have all the democratic warriors of recent battles, and (be public will be shown that there is no “hang-over" from the late primary or the family wrangles. Josiah William Bailey, whose defeat terminated a campaign that many had prophesied would wreck the party, will put his oratorical pow-ers to work in ad vocaoy of his successful opponent, Augux Wilson McLean. And any tin pleasant feeling that might have been engendered among the partisans in the ranks by the conflicting ambitions of tlie two will be eased and salved by the loser’s appeal for support of the victor. Governor Morrison and O. Max Gard ner, good friends now but at odds once upon a time, will <tnke the stump in the common cause as they did following the primaries of 1930 l Had Hippy Ending. Party leaders are enthusiastic over the healthy outlook for the state democracy. They expect the 1922 lend of around eighty thousand to be in creased to tt hundred thousand, in 1924. Family affairs are id'-abitse t/V add the Had a Tlftppy ending” hirdrin spite of its dangerous character, it did not de velop the shoulder chips that the. more closely contested Morrison-Gardner fight did four year ago. Angus Wilton McLean will make a candidate that will appeal to the people. He represents the unanimous offering of all the so-called “factions” that existed before Mr. Bailey became gubematorial ly ambitious; and the new Bailey “fac tion” will be loyally behind him as the party nominee. Governor Morrison, who expects the Republicans to have a great deal to say about “deficits” this fall, has noted that the republican administration at Wash ington “had an immense deficit of the same character our state administra tion was charged with.” His excellency has filed away news paper clippings of the federal govern ment’s issue of treasury certificates to cover this “deficit” and he will make use of them in his campaign speeches. “The charge of the republican party in the state -that North Carolina had a ‘deficit’ can be easily answered by stating the fact that the federarl gov ernment at Washington issued treasury certificates against taxes for several hundred million dollars, both this year and last,” said the governor. “The treasury certificates sold the other day are just a few points less than the state of North Carolina sold its last notes against, bonds to be issued. “It has been the custom of the treasury department for many years to issue short term treasury notes against outstanding taxes as certain cities do.” The governor announced that a new statement on the condition of the state treasury will be issued by Auditor Bax ter Durham and Treasurer Ben Lacy within a few days. It will show the re sult of the collection of taxes since last April.” “I am now morally certain,” Gov ernor Morrison remarked, “that when the taxes covering the. four-year period of my administration are all Collected and credited! there will be a good surplus. Certainly there is no deficit for the first three years nnd there will be a surplus for this year, but, of course, the state has borrowed money against outstanding taxes just as the federal government does."

CT. WRoulltee » ton, of the University and Mrs. Jane McKimmon, of the home economics bu reau of the state department of agri culture. H. Galt Braxton, of The Kinston Freee Press, was riected president,. suc ceeding Charles A. Webb, of The Ashe ville Citizen. Other officers elected are Mrs. T. .T. Lassiter, of Smithfield, first vice president; J. T.

Recommendations of the president's annual address—M. L Shipman, chair man ; Archibald Johnson, A. C. Honey cutt. The association late today adopted as the climax to months and even years of study of the problem of finances a new plan of membership and financing that is regarded as a drastic change from the old plan. The new plan is that the newspapers of the state instead of in dividuals should be members of the as sociation and pay the annual dues, which are to be on a graduated scale based upon circulation, oue scale being used for weekly nnd another for daily papers. Representatives of the various papery will be expected to attend the conven tion as heretofore and cast the vote of their respective papers on all matters before the association, but the papers and not individuals are to hold the as sociation memberships. The annual dues injnany instances will range as high as sls a year and in some cases probably considerably more, in lieu of the $5 here tofore paid by individual members. The action was taken solely for the purpose of providing more funds for the activi ties of the association. A young native prospecting up the Masurunl river in British Guiana on his twentieth birthday, found a rough diamond which he sold for $4850. WHAT SMITTY’B WEATHER OAT SAYS Generally fair tonight and Sunday ac cept probably local showers' in extreme southeast portion; little change in tem perature.
