BY THE LOWER HOUSE House Voted Unanimously For the Bill.—The Measure Passed the Senate Several Days Ago. ALL AMENDMENTS WERE DEFEATED Bill as Passed on the Second Readiug Exactly Like the Senate Bill.—Senate Has Number of Bills. Raleigh. Aug. 20 (By the Associated Press). —The port commission bill was passed by the House of Representatives j of the Xrtrth Carolina General Assembly today, !K1 to 0. The measure provides foq creation > of a commission to be in charge of port de velopment, and for a referendum on the question of issuing $8,500;000 in bonds for port development and purchase and operation of a ship line if the latter step | is deemed necessary. Immediately after passage of the port 1 commission bill the House took up the resolution dealing with the Cape Fear & j Yadkin Railroad. The resolution which I has received endorsement by the Senate provides for investigation into the fen* j sibility of acquiring the railroad from itu | present owners, and deals with the pos- j sibility of instituting suits on behalf of the State to acquire the property. Principal Work Completed. Raleigh, Aug. 20. —The North Caro lina General Assembly today completed . the principal work for which it had been called into special session—the handling of port development legislation on the basis of the report of the state ship and water transportation commission, and the repeal of an amendment to the constitu tion dealing with the inviolability of the sinking funds of the state and the pas sage of a substitute amendment. In the House the port commission bill as sent to that body by the Senate was ratified. In the Senate the' repealer amendment to the constitution exempt ing gasoline and automobile license taxes from Abe provisions of th«r sinking fund IrfW was ratified and offered engrossed. for the amendment to the ebnstJtWflon to alinw revenue collected through automo bile and gasoline taxes to be used for re tirement of bonds passed the Senate this morning and wns ordered enrolled for rat ification. The bill Is a substitute for the consti tutional amendment which was repealed finally last night. The bill repeal had provided that all sinking fund amounts of the state should go to the general sink ing fund, but the repealer exempts the funds of the gasoline and automobile li cense taxes which may be used for the retirement of highway bonds. Raleigh, Aug. 20.—The port commis sion bill carrying a provision for sub mission to n statewide vote at the No vember election wns expected to be final ly passed in the House of Representatives of l tthe North Carolina General Assem bly today. The measure was passed 06 to 7 on its second reading in the lower house last night, and only the constitu tional requirement that it be read three times on three different days prevented its being finally passed and sent to the engrossing clerk at that time. The House voted down all amendments offered, and advanced the measure in ex actly the form that it came from the Senate. An effort was made to nmend it to provide that the port commission should not be appointed until after the voters had ratified the measure; to elim inate the provision permitting the pur chnse of ships and to insert the word “bonds” on the ballots to be used in the election. The vote was decisive against each. The bill as it now stands and as it probably will pass, carries a provision creating a port commission to build sea ports terminals and if necessary to ac quire and operate a state ship line. It provides for an issue of $7,000,000 of 1 bonds for port development, and author ised $1,500,000 for the ship line to be used only if needed. The constitutional amendment provid ing for the inviolability of sinking funds, one of the measures for which the extra session was called, was passed by the Senate test night and sent to the en grossing clerks. The upper body vetoed efforts to abolish its veto power of the state board of charities, and public wel fare, and to displace the book on Amer icanism written by Dr. E. C. Brooks in the public schools of the state. The House voted down a constitutional amend ment designed to recast the judiciary of the state, abolishing the rotation of judges, and providing invidiual superior courts for counties with 50,000 or more population.

PARTY LEADERS ARE GETTING MACHINERY IHHffIMPE Democratic and' Republican Leaders in Cabarrus Plan ning Now for the Coming Campaign. DEMOCRATS HAVE ENTERED FIELD But So Far No Republican Candidate Has Made An nouncement.—Will W i 1- liams Resign? Political machinery in Cabarrus coun ty is being oiled and tightened prepara tory to the Fall election battle. The bat tle in Cabarrus is always a bitter and determined one and for this reason the lenders of the two parties are getting their best guns trimmed and cleaned far enough in advance of election day to as sure them free action in the crisis of election week proper. The destinies of the two parties in Ca barrus this year are in the hands of Major W. A. Foil, Democratic Chairman, and H. S. Williams, Republican chief tain. These same leaders commanded the forces in the election two years ago in which Major Foil carried his party to victory for the first time in many years. Both leaders are recognized ns astute pol iticians but Mr. Williams is generally conceded the edge by reason of the fact that his organization has always func tioned almost without hitch from one elec tion day to another, while Major Foil has been forced always to stir up his co horts with the approach of election day. No one seems to know now who the Republicans are going to offer for the various county offices. So far as is known members of that party have made no announcements and for that reason it is impossible to determine just the oppo sition tjie Democrats will have. Former Sheriff Howard Caldwell, oue of the most popular of the Republicans in the coun ty, is interested in a hardware business now and is not expected to take up poli tics again. Friends of former Sheriff Spears declare he bits had enough of polit ical office and will not enter the race. There dtje rumors, however, that Paul Furr will be vofed-foC by many nf bis friends, and it Is also rumored that J. Bon Towell, former superintendent of the qounty hbme, would enter the race unless he gets a federal appointment. If any one candidate has the backing of the real Republican machine in the coun ty the fact has not been disclosed even in uncertain terms. The Republicans will hold their pri mary on September Oth, the day the Democrats are holding their county con vention. Their county convention will be held the following Saturday, and when they meet in convention they will know the opposition they will have in the elec tion. It is said that many of the dele gates to the convention as chosen in the primary, will go uninstructed so they can cast their ballots as they deem best after the Democratic candidates are known. i The Democratic voters have the op portunity already to decide on certain candidates for several of the present of ficeholders are candidates for re-electiton and in addition former candidates for certain offices are in the field again. B. V. Elliott, register of deeds was the first candidate to enter the field. Mr. Elliott id seeking re-election and so far he has no opposition in his own party, c Miss Margie McEachern, who polled one of the largest votes received by any candidate two years ago, is in the field again. Miss McEachern is seeking her party’s nomination as county treasurer, and so far she has no opposition. She was the only woman candidate in the field two years ago and she proved a capable politician. She received votes from persons in all walks of life. Sheriff R. V. Caldwell, Jr., is out for re-election. He was the first candidate to enter the field for the sheriff's office but W. H. Fowler, of Kannapolis, has now entered the field. Mr. Fowler was a candidate two years ago, being defeated by W. P. Mabery for the nomination. Sheriff Caldwell was not a candidate two years ago. he having been made Sheriff after serving as deputy, when former Sheriff Mabery resigned. Mr. Fowler had informed friends several weeks ago that he would enter the field again this year and his announcement came as no sur prise. It is probable that no other can didates will make the race against Mr. Fowler and Sheriff Caldwell. It is probable that the present county commissioners will get the endorsement of their party if they choose to make the the race again. They have not announc ed their candidacies but it is very proba ble that they will go into the primary favorites. There are rumors here that Chairman Willinms will resign before or just after the Republican county convention. He was re-elected several months ago but there was some opposition to }»im aud according to persistent rumors he is ready to step down now that the postmas ter appointment has been favorably de cided for him. Buford Blackwelder, who was offered in opposition to Mr. Williams when the latter was re-elected chairman, is slated to become his party lender in the county when the present chairman steps out. L. A. Weddington is popular with every faction of the Republican par ty in the county and is recognized as one of the smartest politicians in the county but he won’t have the chairmanship; J. Harvey Dorton, one of the real leaders in his party, died several weeks ago; Howard Caldwell could handle the job but probably can’t give it the time re quired; and other. leaders are said tq LA FOLLETTE MOVEMENT IS ATTACKED BY DAWES Battle Between “Progressive Consery-:" tism” and “Dangerous Kadiralism.”\ * Evanston, I’d., Ang. 19.—The nntio\ al campaign of 1924 was declared by Charles G. Dawes, in accepting the Re publican vice presidential nomination to night, to be a contest between “progres sive conservatism” and “untried and dangerous radicalism.” The nominee, speaking to several thou sands gathered on the lawn of his home here, asserted the former position to be that represented by President Coolidge, the latter to be exemplified by the La Fol lette independent candidncy, and “inter posed, the Democratic party, with one conservative and one radical candidate on its ticket, hoping to get votes by avoiding the issue.” Contending that “a formidable attack has been launched on the fundamental principles of the constitution.” Mr. Dawes characterized the La Follette movement ns “the chief opponent” of the I Republican national ticket and said he considered adherence to the principles and fundamenttfts of the constitution the foremost issue in the November election. This issue was stressed by the nomi nee in liis address, blit he also discussed two other questions at equal length— the league of nations and the world court. He announced his stand on the Re publican platform declaration against any entrance into the league and assailed the Democratic position ns “an invita tion to again enter that fog of debate in a public referendum.” He commend ed the proposal of the present adminis tration for adherence to ttie permanent court of international justice, declaring “it is to our national interests and the interests of the world.” Mr. Dawes also broke liis silence on acceptance by the allies and Germany of the reparations plan bearing liis name, declaring the credit belonged to President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes. With the experts’ plan inaugurated, he asserted, “France. England, Germany, Italy, Belgium and all Europe tourn to ward a new and peaceful life with hope and happiness, rather than despair in their hearts, and prosperity ahead.” THE COTTON MARKET Opened Firm Today at Advance of From 10 to 20 Points On Covering.

Howev-| er. so long as Mr. Williams wants the job he will keep it. He is the real Re-1 publican leader in Cabarrus county and while there has been shown to him some opposition in the past several years, this opposition cannot begin to cope with his real strength. People throughout the county are be ginning to talk politics again. Discus sions are far from fever heat in inten sity but just the same there are discus sions, arguments and wordy tilts. The campaign in Cabarrus two years ago was unusually free of bitterness, dirty tactics and personalities. - There is every reason to believe the campaign this year will be waged under similar conditions. jiff . -iC i **&e****o © TODAY’S m © NEWS * © TODAY • ©©©©©©«*• NO. 196. riiJLiißflS SPEECH; DAWES ACTIVE NOW The Democratic Presidential Nominee Works on Ohio Address as He Has Com pleted Seagrit Address.

Low Water Advanced as Cause ‘of Mountain Sloughing Away. Redding, Oal., Aug. 19—Mount Shasta, coated with volcanic ash and a top dressing of snow, was the center of attention in the extreme northern sec tion of California today, after a large area of ash formation and snow dropped from the base of the mountain (into streams and clogged the McCloud water system. The latest theory advanced for the un usual disturbance which has discolored waters of the Sacramento river as far down as Dedding, is that the extremely low water marks in the stream’s tribu tary to the Sacramento this year under minded the formation at the base of Mont Shasta and caused the ash crust to break from the mountain.
