any desire to land the larger awards:
The most important part of the en

Two more days—these three words
have, a mighty big meaning when we
consider the importance of the result
of The Tribune-Times big automobile
contest which is now rapidly nearing
its c-ne’usiou.

doubtedly be Pile deciding factor on
determining the winners of the splen
did array of prises which have dazzled
the eyes of the entire community, be
cause of their * exceptional value.
Who is your favorite?
For several weeks the contestants
have been engaged in accumulating
votes and during this time The Trib
une-Times grand prize election has
gained fame that is widespread. This
is the most liberal prize-winning event
ever inaugurated in this state.
The efforts and diligence of thecan
t didates these past few days should be
crowned with an avalanche of thou
sands of votes. This is the time for
candidates to hurl themselves into the
fray.
The Tribune ami Times are justly
proud of the Hat of contestants that
arc competing with might and main
in rthiH exciting “battle of votes” for
the biggest stake* ever offered in Ca
barrus county. It seems that each
r» community and neighborhood in the
T country and city has chosen*' its
brightest and most energetic leader
for It* representative in foe election
And these favorites are well fulfilling
the expectations of rtheir hundreds of
friends and supporters in -their re
spective communities.
The race, as the finish of the big
“seernd period” approaches is truly a
, ‘necteto-neek" affair. No one eandi- 1
date lias any material advantage over
the remainder of the contestants at
present am! the amount of subscrip
tions that eai'li is able to turn in by
, Saturday night will tell the tale.
Ilunning a race on the home stretch j
of which every participant may \ypll
be proud, the energetic contestants
are rounding the last turn and the

This week promises to be the big

no doubt but that a greater hurnber
of votes will be cast between now
and 15 o'clock Saturday night than at
any other time during the election.
The participants are certainly going
strongs—getting subscriptions right
and left, each preparing to “cinch”
the leadership for the fine motor cars
before next Saturday night.
It's a fight to a finish now. The
laggard will fall by the wayside—the
courageous, energetic candidates will
reap the big awards. What has been
done before by the respective candi
dates makes little difference. It’s tffe
resu'.fh secured between now and' 12
o'clock Saturday night that .will tell
the tale.

do. they will have to get busy these
last two days of the big “second pe
riod” voted schedule. And 12o’o'ock
Saturday night ends the final big vote

COURT MARTIAL
WILL PROCEED j
Counsel For the Air Of
ficer Sought to Have the;
Charges Thrown Out
Under Ruling.
Washington, Ck-t. 29.—C4>)—Col.
MMidi's pica of immunity from mil
itary trial on the charges pending
againnt kirn was overruled today in
the general court martial proceedings
against him.
The court's law officer ruled that
when Colonel Mitchell charged war i
amid navy department officials with
'criminal” and “almost treasonable”
conduct, in administering the air serv
ices, he committed an offense against
military discipline and could not take
refuge from punishment in the con
stitutional guarantee of free speech
as, be had sought to do.
Representatives Reid of HI., coun
sc) for Col. Mitchell, then moved that
all the charges be stricken out. He
said the court's record failed to show
that the commanding officer accused
had ordered the charges against the
defendant investigated, or had him
self investigated the charges as re
quired by court martial regulations.
This opinion, the effect of which
merely was to sustain the jurisdiction
lif the court, and make it possible to
proceed with the trial, was approved
by the court itself, after a short con
l saltation in secret.
J The law officer, Col. Blanton Win
ship, gave his opinion after the court,
the prosecution and the defense had
agreed to leave the point to him, but
j in rendering his decision he asked that
spfc'fic court approval be given. An
effort to have the court vote on that
opinion iu public was blocked by an
objection by Brig. Gen. Frank R. Mc-
Coy, commander of the 3rd Infantry,
brigade. Fort Bam Houston, Tex..
Col. Mitchell's last station. The court
then retired and took a secret vote,
returning after only a short interval
to announce its approval.
The ruling applied specifically only
to that specification of the charges
which applied to Col. Mitchell's first
San Antonio statement, criticising the
conduct - of the-air services. But It was
lir me'"nature' of a test, and one by
Ofre the court then proceeded in rapid
Bbder "to flvt'rrttle Col. Mitchell's ob
jbetiOus to ith' right to try him on the
remaining counts.
;‘ < ilf‘ colonel MitchM! has been guil
ry ‘6f aqy 1 oUcusw,” Mr. Rdd said, “it
shßiifd llive been charged by his com
iiiflnuhig officer at that ftme, Major
General Ernest Hinds, iii 1 charge of
the Eighth Corps Area of San An
tonio.
“The record' does not show that
General Hinds or Brigadier General
Rdckeubat'li, commanding the district
of Washington, thought any crime had
been commited.
■ ' “Frosh where, then, does this
strange power come that stretches
out over these commands? It does
net come from the officers under
whom Col. Mitchell served in Texas,
or in whose jurisdiction he is at pres
ent.”
Col. Sherman Moreland, for the
prosecution, repietl that it was not
required under the court martial reg
ulations that either General Hinds or
General Itockenbach actually bring
the charges.
“This is a presidential court," said
■Col. Moreland. “There is no re
quirement that the regulations shall
be carried out explicitely, so long ns
the substance is there”
Tbe charges assigned by an officer in
the Judge Advocate General’s office
ftt Washington, and Col. Moreland,
sam the President had designated
that officer to act as accuser, "as the
President has a right to do as com
j mander-in-chief of the army and
navy.”
| The reference to the “presidential
j court” brought Mr. Reid to his feet.
“I haty to think this is a case where
I necessity knows no law,” he said
“What strange power is this wc arc
feeling? This is an abnormal ease
indeed. •
