Who Will Make Their Re

The office of the new hotel campaign
committee wits moved yesterday into the
room formerly occupied by Efird’s store
on the ground floor of the Pythian
building. Up to this time the prelim
inary steps to the hotel, caqipadgn were
being taken In the office of the Chamber
of Commerce in the V. M. C. A. build
ing. Now'sueh a stage has been reach
ed. however, that it is necessary to have
a separate and larger office to house the
various activities.
In the new office in the Pythian build
ing there is a separate room that has
been provided for the meetings of the
executive committee. From now on un
til the beginning of the intensive cam
paign the. executive committee will hold
daily report meetings. Although they
are making no announcement, it is known
that satisfactory progress is being made
on the executive committee program.
There is a counter in the front part
of the office which will be used by the
workers during the campaign. The cam
paign hffice force is now busily at work
pi--paring tlsfs of‘ prospects and in giv
ing to the citizens of Concord the
information which they desire in build
ing their new hotel.
From all over the country comes word
of the golden stream of dollars left be
hind by the tourists of 11)23. Never
► in the history of hoteldom has there ,
been such a remarkable growth in''the
number of -travelers on the road. From
the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf
to the Great Cakes, the word is the
same. “Our hotels have been filled with
tourists and they have been spending
more freely than at any paniod of our
business history.” Whenever the larg
er hotels have been tilled .there always
the smaller and otner BOtWte 'Tf>
which the tourists flock.
A number of interviews With leading
hotel men of the country was recently
published In pertain prominent newspa
pers under the signature of the well
known writer, J. C. Royle, who says:
"The American traveller today is
spending more money than ever before,
not opl.v in Europe, where he is regard
ed as the golden egg, but also in this
country. Hotel guests are eating bet
ter, ordering more generously gud pay
ing more easily, according to leading ho
tel men in the larger cities.
“We not only are serving more meals
daily thgft .itt any tinie since 1918,” said
Rov Carrittliers, managing director of
the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, “but the in
dividual business man is eating as well
or better than ever. Os course, some
of the checks are not so large now as
in the days of cocktails, highballs, wines
and liquors, but expensive fruits and
t vegetables, alligator pears and other
* specialties are being consumed to a^ great
er extent than in any recent year.”

ment of the series being issued by John
W* Davis, Democratic candidate for
President, for the purpose of “summar

liberal legislation.”
The statement further declares tlmt
Senator LnFollette has no chance of elec

CAMPAIGN II THIS
STATE ENDS TODAY
AFTER HARD FIGHT
Candidates and Leaders of
All Parties Going Home to j
Take Part ifi the Election
Tuesday.
SEEMS
UNCERTAIN NOW
The State Will Go Demo
cratic But Other the Par
ties Have Conducted Vig
orous Campaigns.
Raleigh, Nov. 1 (By the Associated
Press). —One of the mot. active cam
paigns ever waged in a general election
in North Carolina came to an end to
day. Candidates and workers began
scattering from the various political head
quarters at Raleigh, Durham and Greens
boro to their homes iu preparation for
the balloting on Tuesday.
As the campaign came to a close the
situation was in a state of flux that lent
much uncertainty I to the outcome, espe
cially as regards the usual Democratic
Presidential majority. The backers of
Robert M. La Follette and Burton K.
Wheeler were claiming that the Wiscon
sin and Montana senators would poll
a heavy vote in the state.
The Republicans were making no
claims but have waged a campaign al
most an active as aiiy ever carried on
in a state where they have been in the
habit of winning. The Democratic lead
ers assert that the state will remain in
the column of the “solid south” bilt
have taken no chances, and carried ou
a very active campaign.
Nation About Ready to Vote.
Washington, Nov. .1 (By the Asso
ciated Press). —The great American po
litical classic of 1924 is approaching its
day of decision in a shower of sharp
words and a fog of rival predictions.
In its final stage, it has brought into
play al lthe old familiar atrategeins, mod
ernized to fit an age of radio, movies and
senatorial investigations, and laid out on
a new scale to appeal to every remote
subdivision of the ever growing American
electorate.
Keeping to a policy adopted at me
inception of the campaign, President
Ooplidge alone candidate*, for
highest office will remain outside the
rushing maelstrom of oratory that her
alds to the world another preelection
Saturday night. While the New York
democracy is rallying to hear John W.
Davis conclude his platform campaign
in Carnegie Hal tonight. Senator La Fol
lette is summing up his ease against the
old parties in Convention Hall at Cleve
land.
On Monday night President Coolidge
will deliver a final election eve message
to the American people by radio, speak
ing after Mr. Davis, likewise addressing
the great invisible jury of sovereign vot
ers through a nationwide system of
broadcasting stations. Thus, for the
first time, will the nation listen to two
Presidential candidates as if from one
platfoTm.
Besides the entire membership of the
House, 34 senators are to be chosen
Tuesday, enough to upset the present
slender Republican majority should the
tide of fortune turn to the Democrats.
Governors are to be elected in thisty
four states, including New York, where
Alfred E. Smith and Theodore Roosevelt
have staged a battle royal with never a
dull moment up to the finish.
Contests in Southern States.
Atlanta. Nov. 1 (By the Associated
Press). —In all Southern states except
South Carolina and Louisiana, republi
can assaults will be directed at the so
called Solid Democratic South, in one
form or another, in the election Tuesday.
Contests for the U. S. Sedate are being
wagfied in five states, in eight there are
one or more contesting districts for the
House of Reprasenflutives. am] republi
can tickets have been filed for state of
fices in four states. Several states elect
a few state officer at this time.
Only in Tennessee are claims made for
other than the Davls-Bryan electors, a
euinpaign'having been vigorously conduct
ed for both Demtoemtie and Republican
national tickets in the Volunteer State.
North Carolina will have a race in
that the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, Angus W. McLean, is opposed by a
republican opponent, Isaac Meekius. Sen
ator F. M. Simons' scat is contested by
A. A. Whitener. republican, and all Con
gressional districts have two candidates
entered.

Takes Country by Storm, Song '
Inspired by Memphis Cartoon
Lebanon, Tenn., Nov. J, —“Disconcert-
ing Accompaniment,” the carton b.v J.
P. Alley, of the Commercial-Appeal, re
produced in Saturday morning's edition
of The Tennessean, inspired a young at- ;
torney of this city to write a pnrody
based on the cartoon and the popular
song. "It Ain't Gwine to Rain No More,'"
which since beilfgftreleased b.v the Demo
crats here has proved to be the biggest
hit in the nature of a political phrase
ever seen in this efty, and has literally
taken the city b.v storm.
The Democratic leaders of the county
immediately made plans to have several
quartets and musicians learn the piece
to use in the campaign in this county
from now until election day. .The song
is being printed for general distribution
and has put ns much fire and vigor in
the organization as anything which has
happened here in a campaign in many
years. A copy has been sent to gener
al headquarters by Senator Perry for a
general distribution of it is so desired.
The songs follows:
“Oh, the Republican Party's in trouble.
And loudly they do moan.
The Democrats are felling their mean

And that is why they groan!

HENRY FORD ASKED TO BUY
HNTIKE VIRGINIA CITY
Requested to Buy Williamsburg, the An
cient Capital of Virginia.
tßy the Associated Pleas.)
Richmond. Va.. Nov. I.—Henry Ford
has been asked to buy Williamsburg,
ancient capital of Virginia, and restore
to it the quaint, and picturesque beauty
of the Revolutionary period. It then
would be preserved as a living lesson in
American history for future generations.
The suggestion, which Mr. Ford is
said to be considering, was advanced b.v
Dr. W. A. R. Good wan, of William and
Mary College, through William Ford,
brother of the, automobile manufactur
er.
Under the plan Mr. Ford would pur
chase a large part of the present city
of Williamsburg, at an estimated cost of
between $4,900.000 and $5,000,000. A
Colonial Holding Corporation then would
be formed, according to Dr. Goodwin's
suggestion, to which the city would be
turned over for all time. The task of
re-creating the colonial seat of govern
ment would go forward lnder the. di
rection oft the holding corporation. All
-evidences wf modern tiers would -tee—re
moved. Motion picture houses, restau
rants, telephone poles, and all the trade
marks of the present day would exist no
more.
In the place of today's Williamsburg,
there would stand the House of Bur
gesses, rebuilt as it originally stood.
Raleigh Tavern once more would stand
with inviting door for the traveler.
Main Street again would be lined with
myrtle trees and hedged by roses. Shacks
would give way to copies of the cqjouial
houses which formerly occupied their
sites. It is not planned to compel pres
ent owners of old colonial homes to sell
them to the corporation, but options
would be requested in view of future
sales.
' Dr. Goodwin, who for years lias been
interested in the preservation of the re
maining marks of Virginia colonial his-'
tory.' is quoted as follows :
“For some time I have cherished the
hope that .Mr. Ford might be and doubt
less would be -interested in making a con
tribution to the United States of the
old colonial capital of Virginia.
“Williamsburg was associated with
all the great debates, resolutions and ac
tions which resulted in the establish
ment of our federal government. It
is disntietly the most interesting colonial
relic which now remains in America,
and should be rescued and preserved.
Unless something .is done within the next
few years, it will be too late.”
