Ilnleigh, Oct. 30.—With the cam- j
vaigii virtually ended and i>olitioal an- j
thusinsin at a satisfactory pitch. in
fnct. Is-tter than was expected, but I
on<> thing remains to worry the Demo-j
rr'lic leaders. And that is Hie prob
lem of getting out the vote! .Will J
the present enthusiasm and the en
thusiasm of the past week be sufficient]
to impel nJI the Demoeratie voters t»]
ro to the polls ami vote on Tuesday?
And if John Dawson and his lieu
tenants only knew the answer to this
question, they would be satisfied.
For its well known from many years
of past experience that one thing that
the Republican voters do is to get out
their vote almost 100 per cent., de
spite the fact that in most eases thpre
is little likelihood of winning. Just j
ns one of the county political lenders i
told Governor McLean in one of the j
towns visited during his speaking tour!
the past week: “The Republicans arc I
organized and arc at work every day. |
They are making n house-to-house, j
fnrm-to-fnrm canvass of the voters of'
the county. If the Democrats would
get out and work half as hard there
would be no doubt about a Democrat
ic vietory. But many of them are
only half interested, and are not do
ing the t>ersonn! work that they
should. ' So it is that much of the
situation is doubtful. - '
And this is not n situation eommou
to but one section, lint to many of
the sections of the state, with the re
sult that Democratic headquarters is
somewhat 'jrtftfjed'.at the outlook..
The final analysis,'
of ™Jlls", ppt alarming as tar as
tlp-fnriW sth te' iii ‘ coiH-ernhff” "*WWe '
will probably be about fifteen coun
ties that' will go Republican. These
are counties that have been going Re
publintp for yegrx and year, and noth
ing else is looked for. Tet in a num
ber of these counties, such as Chath
am, Randolph and McDowell counties
there is a goodly amount of dissat
isfaction with the manner in which
the county government has been car
ried on by the Republicans, and there
is a possibility for n change to Dem
ocratic control, provided all the Dem
ocrats vote.
Then there are in addition about
twenty more counties which are in the
"doubtful” list, in which anything |
may happen, and which the Republi
cans are claiming, but which from all
indications at present, will very prob
ably go Democratic, provided a ma
jority of the Democrats that are reg
istered vote. Buncombe county Dem
ocrats arc expending no trouble in
putting the county over in good styft,
and many of the political leaders ip
Buncombe are predicting that Madi
son and even Haywood county have an
excellent change to go into the Dem
ocratic column this time.
Both the governor and the only liv
ing former governor nssailed the pal
try policies and tawdry claims of the
Republicans leaders of the state, hold
ing up in comparison the record of
25 years of Democratic administra
tions and the progress of the state
made under them. And other speak
ers of equal note— Max Gardner, the
next governor: Joseph utfj Daniels and
others told their hearers almost the
same thing. It has not been a cam
paign of mad-siinging and vitupera
tive personal attacks. It has been
a campaign based solely upon hard,
cold logic and calm common senae,
in which the speaker* have presented
the record of the Democratic party,
shown what it has done for the peo
ple of the state as a whole and then
asked the people to continue to main
tain that party in power which has
the welfare of the entire people ant
the progress of- the state as a whole
at heart. And the response has been
electrical. It is not necessary to
argue with North Carolinians to make
them realise a good thing when they,
see it.
Former Governor Morrison, afttr
speaking in Waynes rille Saturday
night, will bring the campaign to a
close in Mecklenburg county, his home
county, tonight at a big rally in
county Charlotte. Governor McLean,
after speaking twice in Johnston oun
ty, a hotly contested county, on Sat-,
lirday, goes to his home county of
Robeson Monday where he will wind
up bis campaign that night. Bayard
Clnrk will speak in Erwin, Harnett
county. Monday night while Josegihus
Daniels will be the featured speaker
the same night at a large political
rally for all of Forsyth county in
Winston-Salem.
All of which goes to show as was
said at the beginning, the big ques
tion and major problem is that of get
ting out the tote.

DESTROYER ORDERED

and Property as Result of Over

Washington, Nov. —An Am
erican destroyer lias been ordered frohn
Bliietields Nicaragua, to <‘eiba. Hon
duras, to protect American lives and
property there.
The destroyer was asked for by'the
American consul at Ceibo, who last
week reported that inmates of the pen
itentiary there had combined wit It rev
olutionists and seized the town, tempo
rarily ousting the federal forces.
While the trouble in Ceiba has sub
sided since control reverted to federal
hands, the uncertainty of the situation
in the Consul's opinion, made it desir
able to have an American naval craft
there to guarantee protection for for
eigners in the event of revolutionary
uprisings in the near future.

In the senatorial field the issues!
are complicated by extraneous sub-! ‘
jects such as the wet aud dry oil's- !

attack on the existing prohibition
laws will be submitted to the voters
in eight States. In two States. New
York and Illinois, the proposition to
be voted on is identical, railing for n
modification of the Volstead Act. In
these two States and in Wisconsin
and Nevada no State law will be af
fected by the vote, which in reality
will be only a straw poll to ascertain
the sentiment of the people. In Cali
fornia. Missouri, Colorado aw) Mon
tana the wet attack, if successful,
would demolish some or all of the
State prohibition enforcement struc

particularly bitter over the proposal

Oberamnwrgati Planning Passion |
Play For IBSO
London. Nov. 1.-—Lang, who was ,
the “Penitent Thief" in the last pro
duction of the famous Passion Play |
at Oberamergan. is in London pro
moting tire sales of the beautiful (
carvings for which his village is
noted. ,
Lang says that although the next
production of the Passion Piny is
not until 1!>30 the villagers—there
are 2.000 of them—are airpndy dis
cussing the prospects and speculating
upon the cast.
"But >vho shall play the various
characters," he says, “will only be
decided upon when the committee
sits to make the selection.”
1-ang says that he received the
equivalent—in German marks—-of
four dollars for his last five months'
\>ork in the play.
"I had to remain.’’ he says, for
20 minutes on the eross as the
‘Penitent Thief.' The strain was
severe, and I suffered from 'pins and
needles’ in my limbs. When I got
down I had to massage myself to re
store circulation. Only a very strong
man can take the part.”
There will be many changes in the
1030 production, says Lang. "The
| Christ of the last production will be
too old. and there are several men in
the villaee among whom the choice
will rest.”
