A B» PESSIMISTIC
Says Kank and File of His Party!
j Can’t Descry Potential Leader. j
Hitkpiy. Oct. IT.—A letter frotn
: -Jake F. Newell, Republican, to W. H.
: Oarklfj, member at large of the Re
jmbliqau state executive committee,
j was made .public yesterday in which
j the Charlotte Republican discusses at
, length, ttie condition-of hLs party and
some of the problems facing it. Mr.
j Newell said in his letter that he bed
been asked by Republican leaders bis
opinion in the controversy relative to
changing, the party .plan of organiza
tion so’ as to conform with the na
tional plan, and the immediate forma
tion of Republican dubs.
An intjmatipn that he has his eye
on a possible Republican candidate
for governor, and a possible Republi
can candidate for L'nited States Sen
ator is made when he ays: “There
fore, my opinion is that with such a
man—who might reasonably be ex
pected to be candidate for governor,
and, as sueb, might deaiand tfig nomi
nation of legislative candidates of like
character; and a man, also of like
character, who might reasonably be
expected to be the Republican candi
date for .United States senator, and
who, will remain free and American
and that the?;c shall be an eternal
separation of church »«<l state, there
will be created, not only a party con
structed according to and answerable
to the people's will, but one that will
be, and .ought to be, successful at the
polls.
“The rank anit file are worn but.
They Lave tried to build- party but
have beeome discouraged. They are
not convinced that the Republican
party in tile state has real sympathy
for them in thefr burdens. Some, at
least have a sort of fear, maybe un
: expressed, that if they gave the party j
I their support and it were successful
at :’.ie polls they might.be embarrassed
by, the conduct of the party after
! wards. They see no leader whom
j they are persuaded to follow, and
they hear no voice that inspires them
tm join the rank and take the oppos
jiug work."
mg work. AH this is true, notwitli-1
■standing the fact that the whole peo-1
j pie. regardles of party, have faith in
j President Cooltdge and believe, at
heart, in the fundamentals of tue Re
-publican party. r
“I agree that the people ought to'
control their party. No fair minded
man can believe otherwise. No party |
will long survive that is not Jontrolled
by the people. But Ido not believel
that interest can be created in the
minds of the people, at tljis time,
with the sole issue HLat of changing
the plan .of organization. The peo
ple will conclude that it merely means
the changing of'bosse« and of boss
rule.
“What the people are demanding
is constructive statesmanship. Those
who will be served to action are the
hosts vyho want good roads, paid for
largely by those who use them '. good
schools, but with-hetter teachers, and
jhe system, taken'out of the political
machine; an honest primary and ejec
tion law, for primary as well as elec
tion, control by bdtli parties in reg
istration as well as'voting; the curb
ing of lawlessness and punishing <jf
grafting; greater economy and com
mon sense pi all thjngs. And the need
of the hours in North Carolina is a
man of chargetet and courage: of sou!
ami soc%l power; of intellect and
indomitable will'! 'of capacity to in
spire hope and trust, to lead these
hosts.”

Oglesby Speeds Up Court Proceedings.
Asheville, (let. It).—lt is believed
that .Tudge John Oglesby, of Concord,
made a record in disposing of civil
cases at the regular October term of
Superior Court, which closed Satur
day. Mainly through his efforts a'
total of 143 cases were disposed of
in the two weeks just passed.
On the opening day of the term,
Monday, October sth. there was some
confusion as to the calendar. Judge
Oglesby then called a meeting of the
bar and ordered that a new- calendar
be prepared. He announced that all
cases on the second calendar would
be tried or dismissed when called.
While the bar meeting was in prog
ress, the civil issue docket was called |
and non-suits were entered in more 1
than 100 cases.
The court and the calendar' com
mittee of the bar are making a vigor
our effort to relieve the congestion
of the llunoombe docket, Thomas K.
Hollins, chairman 'of the bar commit- •
tee. stated Hatqrdfy'. So many cases
have been stricken off -the calendar
and with a special term and two other
regular terms before tire end of the
year. Mr. Hollins believes the docket
will be in splendid shape by January
