VOLUME XXIV . CONCORD, NC, SATURDAY. OCTOBER .MM ~NO MRS. JERHAK HURD WITH INTEREST Bl M FRIENDS HI Noted Club Woman of Ra leigh Delighted Audience Which Heard Her In Ad dress Here Friday. PUBLIC MATTERS ABLY UISCUSSED Mrs. Jerman Asked 'Hearers to Vote For Man and Not Party—-Tells of Work of Woman’s Clubs. In an •.inspiring address before the Woman's Club of the city, Mrs. Palmer Jerman, of Kaleigh, asserted that the Federation was a worldwide force of three million women striving for the snme ends and asked the local women to visualise themselves as n part of this force and draw inspiration therefrom. With this in mind and working with the other millions of women, no estimate could be placed on the good that could be accomplished, she said. The meeting of the club was,held at the Merchants and Manufacturers club room with over a hundred women in at tendance. Mrs. K. L. Craven called the meeting to order. Before' Mrs. Jer man spoke, Mrs. C. B. Wagoner gave two vocal selections, the first being “Be loved” by Neidlinger, and the second, “A Memory,” by Park. Both were very beautifully rendered. Sirs. Leslie Cor rell accompanied' Mrs. Wagoner at the piano and Kay Patterson also gave a flute accompaniment to the first selec tion. Mrs. Jerman, after an introduction by Mrs. Craven, spoke on the value of the Woman’s Club to the community and to the nation. She asserted that such an organization was very worth while, that it should be to Concord what its. Chamber of Commerce is, along different lines. Where the Chamber of Com merce attempted to build up the material side of the city, the Woman’# Club should strive to assist in the upbuilding of the health and morat conditions. She in sisted that it be not merely a social organization but rather that it do some definite" good. The social part should ..... The fact Unit all women, women front every class, should belong to the Woman's Club mas stressed by Mrs. Jerman. She pointed out that the various #ocittl and patriotic organizations had their need and also showed that the organization represented at the meeting was the only thing which undertook to band together for .greater service all the women in the city. , In defense of the State organization, Mrs. Jerman asserted that it was doing in a state-wide way what the local club was doing in Concord. The eight de partments of the North Carolina Federa tion were, she said, (1) Education, (2) health, (3) public welfare, (4) loan funds, E5) civic department, (0) home economics, (7) program and (8) public ity. In speaking of the department of edneatien, it was shown that the club was trying to get. an eight months school term for all children and was trying to stamp out illiteracy. Under the head of the department of health, Mrs. Jer man said that practically all the move ments which the state has adopted such as the inspection of meat and milk and clinics for children were begun by the Woman’s Federation. The question of public welfare was taken up _at length. In this it was pointed out that the federation had al ready go’tten the Mothers’ Aid and the institution at Saraarcand and that at the next Legislature, a prison colony was to be asked for especially for women. Mrs. Jerman then urged the women of the club to vote and stated that in vot ing that the matter of party should not be foremost in the mind but that the best candidate, the man who would put through the movements desired should be the man voted for. Mrs. Jerman, in closing, jisked the i Concord fdub to undertake' something big something that would mean. much to the city. She said that the great power of the three million women who , had as their ideal, service could make the world better and asked them to keep this vision of service as their guide to help them In their work. ■ ' 5 Following Mrs. Jerman,. Mrs. R. R. Coton, of Farmville, spoke briefly on the first clubs of the federation. Mrs. Cot ton is known as the mother of the Fed eration oftdnbs. She insisted that to be successful, the clubs must be active and said she hoped the Concord Club would be useful and instrumental in making Concord a better, more pros perous and more beautiful place. At the conclusion of the meeting, tea and sandwiches were served and a de lightful social hour was enjoyed by those attending the meeting. Football Players In Auto Accident.

The constitution itself still must be defend ed, he, said, to preserve individual free dom through non-interference with the courts, and fair opportunity by the pre vention of government monopolies in bus iness. While recalling his wish for American membership in tire world court and fur ther disarmament, the President warned in reference to the country’s internation relations that we do not propose to en trust to any other power or combination of powers any authority to make up our own mind for us.” Thousands of veterans of the world war were gathered at the base of the newly erected monument near the White House. Tracing the history «f the division “the first to enter France, and the last to' leave Germany,” Mr. Coolidge recalled its 5,516 deaths and 17,000 wounded, its part in the battles of Sommerville sector, Soissons, St. Mihiel and finally in the Ar gonne. “The littje that I can’say in commen dation of your division is but a slight suggestion of what is deserved*” he ndd rtl-. ■ Discussing the nutiou's obligations to .its wrt'VWWlfoH ed that its first, duty was the care of the disabled and dependents.

Brook hart, in denouncing President Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes, Republican, nomiees for Presi-' dent and vice president, in his Emmetts-! burg speech of today automatically re- 1 pudiated the Republican party, the Re publican state central committee decided : after an all day session here tonight. | The committee issued a statement late, this afternoon outlining its views on the Brookhart situation. | “It is our belief that this action on the part of Senator Brookhart,” the 1 statement said, “'has been inspired by the heads of the La Follette party for the malicious purpose of attempting to turn the attention of the voters from the real issues of the campaign.” Rather than declaring Senator Brook !.art no longer a member of the Republi can party, the committee declared in its statement “that the self-impelled bolt from Republican ranks” by Senator Brookhart, “amounts to a repudiation of and a blot from the Republican party,” brought about by himself. “The self-impelled bolt,” the statement adds, “is the result of a conspiracy to elect, a President at the polls and to force such an tlection by a "Congress selected two to six years ago.” The Republican party, Senator Brook hart charged in his speech at Emmitts burgh, has strayed from the ideals of its founders, while the “machine organiza tion” has refused to recognize the wijl of the people. Referring particularly to his own dif ference# with leaders of hi# party, Sena tor Brookhart sald that although he bad been nominate* “by 2IWJOOO Republicans. money and by the President’s power,” his nomination had never been recog nized by President Coolidge as the voice of Republicanism in lowa. Senator Brookhart declared Republi can leaders refused him favor because he had differed on so many occasions from the national administration, naming a dozen issues. “I belong to the farm bloc; the Presi dent belongs to the Wall Street bloc,” he declared in designating President Coolidge as “the machine candidate.” Reviewing his nomination the senator said bis principal supporters were farm ers and laboring people, “denouncing as radicals by the President and his sup porters.” “The Republican State convention, dominated by the Coolidge machine, snubbed and insulted me,” he continued. "The Coolidge newspapers over the State with few exceptions, have bolted me and continue to denounce me and my platform approved by the voters.” FIGHTING NEAR SHANGHAI IS HALTED BY RAIN Drenching Rain' Made Opposing Annies Resort to Long Distant Fighting.

DAVIS MAKES SEVEN SPEOHES IN NEW JERSEY HLs Administration Would Take Part in Armament Conference If Held in 1925. Newark, N. J., Oct. 3.—John AY. Davis, Democratic presidential nominee, making seven speeches in New Jersey to day, chose the chapel of Princeton Uni versity, once presided over by Woodrow Wilson, as the place to express his “am bition to call the American people -back to a realization of their great part in the world, to the great opportunities with which they are confronted, to the great duties that stand before them today.” “I fully realize,” he said, “that' our entraneAintp the. league would not only >u-bi«™d, ■ yni)l4 bo fruitless ’unless it represented the "co ordinated wil lot‘a nation content with that decision. Bnt until the day comes, I am not willing that everythihg we do shall be conditioned upon its raising no dispute in the Senate of the United States.” Mr. Davis reiterated his pledge that if he were President and a conference on world disarmament were held in 1925, this country would take part in it. “I take it for granted,” said Mr. Davis at Princeton, “that in 1920 the program of the party in power was supposed to be either adherence to the. league of nations on some reservations acceptable to the public and to the Senate, or the creation of some new agency for peace that might take its place. And I think the Amer ican people as a whole believed that In that election so far as any foreign policy was foreshadowed the men were marching in advance into one of those’ directions or the other. No advance in either direction, as all men know, has been made in the five yeans that have passed. * “When the world court was created, when, at last, it poured out of the hopes and ambitions that men had delayed for ages when at last our own precept and ■example, reiterated from tiiqe to time to all nations, bore its fruit and the world court came into being, I think the Amer ican people assumed, as a matter of course, that it would enjoy our moral and our national spirit and to this hour, except for a few timid recommendations, i no snigle step in that direction has been ■ taken. “And I think I seq, in these latter hours, the foreshadowing of the danger— which I merely hint at —the foreshadow ing of a day when, by processes of con- I ferences, of communication and of oo i operation, there will arise among the ■ free nations of the world a solidarity of . interest, outside which alien to it and I foreign to it, the United States of Amer ! ica will stand alone, and without imput ■ ing to any other nation any motives of . aggression, or of envy, or of purpose to injure it, I am not willing that the Unit ed States should stand alone outside the diplomatic as well as the circle of the world.” Flood Washes Casket Up.
