" i - .", .. , ; - CANDIDATES SPOKE AT BELMONT SATURDAY Walter Murphy Wasn't There But County Candidates En tertained and Instructed Voters ' Many Ladies Present Personals and Locals. Democratic Campaign Opened Saturday Night Owing to the inability of Hon. Walter Murphy to come to Belmont Saturday night, as he was called to Cincinnati on urgent business, the large crowd that had assembled at Lineberg'er Park was enter tained by Gaston county speakers. While every one regretted the fact that Mr. Murphy could not be present, many ex pressions were heard of pride in the fact that Gaston herself could furnish such able speakers to fill the gap. Coming over from Gastonia were Major Lee 'Bulwinkle, candidate for Cougress for this district; Carl Carpenter, candidate for the State Senate; Wiley Carroll, can didate for sheriff ; Clyde Craig, treasurer; George W. Wilson, solicitor, and Hugh A. Query, editor of The Daily Gazette. Harley B. Gaston, of Belmont, candi date for the House to succeed Dr. T. A. Wilkins, in making the introductory speech, presented Maor Bulwinkle. The latter stated that he was the first candi date for Congress that Gaston county had ever presented. Taking as his subject the League of Nations, he declared that it was the paramount issue before the coun try today and that, if there had been a League of Nations in 1914, Germany would never have gone to war. Until Wil son uttered his war message to Congress no voice had ever been raised to stop war, he said. Touching on the terrible slaugh ter in the world war, he passed on to Wil son's fight for the League of Nations. He then described the league itself, its purpose, powers and absolute justice, stat ing that it was the greatest charter of human rights and liberty- the world has ever seen. ucn nepuoucans as lart, Wickersham, Root and the late Col. Roose velt were in favor of it. Every religious organization in the country to the number of thirty-two had endorsed it as well as the American Federation of Labor and many divisious of soldiers in the late war. Cox stands for the league, he said, but no one could tell how Harding stood as he had changed his position eight times already. Major Bulwinkle closed his talk with a plea to the voters to stand behind the boys who gave their lives in France to mnj:e the world safe for democracy by insuring peace for America and the world. Mr. Carpenter began his talk by wel coming the ladies present, saying that the heart of the women of North Carolina beats in unison with the principles of democracy. He reviewed the record the Democratic party had made in North Carolina in the last twenty years, point ing out the wonderful progress achieved. When the Democrats came into power in 190') North Carolina stood twenty-second in the list of States in agriculture. Now she stands third in both agriculture nnd manufacture and last year paid more Fed eral taxes than all the other South Atlan tic States put together. He stated that John Farker had taken as his issue the revaluation fit when, in the 1919 legisla ture, Republicans as well as Democrats voted for it. He said that the objection able features were removed at the recent session of the legislature, at which time only one Republican voted for it. Dis cussing the splendid features of the re valuation act he said that it was best for the poor man as it exempts him and lets the man who is able pay the largest part of the taxes. Declaring that the Southland was the land of true Americanism, he urged the voters to de fide aright the present issues which are the most momentous that have ever been presented to a people. Mr. Wilson, in the closing speech of the evening, touched upon the several candi dates present, expressing his pleasure at being in Belmont and his delight at see ing bo many ladies present. He had wanted, he said, to nominate a lady to succeed Dr. Wilkins and that one a splen did lady from Belmont, but was unable to do so as she refused to allow it. He welcomed the women into the party for the influence for honesty and pnrity they would bring into it, saying that heoped they would soon be holding some of the offices men had thought no one else could hold. Reviewing the wonderful progress made during Wilson's administration, he said that the world would be astounded if it couldonly be realized. He then took up the Federal Reserve Board as one of the most wonderful achievements, saying that it was the greatest financial system in the world. Telling of the wars still be ing carried on in Europe and tlte terrible disasters there on account of our failure to join the league of nations, he urged the women to join with the men in voting for the Democratic party which stands pledgeTTo put Xmreica where she is in honor bound to be.

With the Other handsome HON. JOHN. G. CARPENTER SPEAKS AT CONOVER Democratic County Chairman Delivers Strong Speech at Conover Saturday Night. A large audience of both men and wo men greeted Hon. John G. Carpenter at Conover, Saturday night, where Mr. Carpenter delivered a strong appeal in be half of Democracy. Mr. Carpenter de voted the first part of his speech to the achievements of the Democratic party in North Carolina and then passed to the national issues. His speech was en tirely free from bitterness, but he point ed out in no uncertain terms the false and deceptive position of the Republican par ty on the League of Nations. He closed with a strong appeal to the men and wo men of Catawba to rally to the standard of the party of their fathers, to vote for every Democratic candidate on the ticket and to put their county back into the Democratic column. GREATEST SERVICE OF LEGION MEMBERS IS STAND FOR LAW AND ORDER, SAYS D'OLIER CLEVELAND, 0., 8ept. 27. The greatest single service American Legion members have rendered their country is their ' 4 virile stand for the mainetnance of law and order," Franklin D'Olier, na tional commander of the American Le gion, told the second annual convention of the legion at its opening session here to day. "We quickly served notice in no uncer tain terms upon those wild radicals who would by force attempt to injure those very institutions we had risked our lives to protect," Commander D'Olier said. "We stated plainly we were ready for them and could meet their force with far greater force sufficient to stop them in stantly. "During these present days of unrest and readjustment, the American Legion and the stand of the ex-service man for "law and order is the greatest possible in surance policy our country could possibly have, and the only insurance premium the, ex-service man expects in return is simply fair play from that government with which he has played so fair. "To the American Legion there is no east or west, no north or south, no Jew or Gentile, no Protestant or Catholic, no capital or labor, no employer or employe, no republican or democrat. The Ameri can Legion is the only organization in which is represented every good element in the entire country. It is the nearest attempt at organizing public opinion and we all know that when public opinion speaks it speaks with authority. And so during this past year, you have played fair with every element in the legion and have thus gained the supoprt of public opinion, and so the closer we stick to sound public opinion, the greater will be our service to our country and the better aide we will he to look after our comrades needing our help."

ROLL WEEVIL SCARE WAS FALSE ALARM State Entomologist Identifies Specimen Sent Him as Nut Weevil, Which is Not Harm ful to Cotton. Those who read the article in last Fri day's Gazette stating a suspicious look ing bug, thought possibly to be the boll weevil, had been found on the Royster farm near Bessemer City, will be re lieved of any fears they may have ex perienced upon learning that the speci men was not the boll weevil, but what is known as a 'nut weevil. " The fol lowing letter received yesterday by Coun ty Agent Lee Gowan from the State Entomogolist explains the matter in full : Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 25, 1920 Mr. C. Lee Gowan, County Agent, Gastonia, N . C . ' Dear Mr. Gowan: Your specimens with question re ceived. Am glad to relieve your mind. No it is not "he" or "it" it is not Cotton Boll Weevil. It is one of the nut-weevils, apparently one which infests acorns. They are sometimes found on cotton, but are not known to do it any injury and they are a quite frequent cause of mistaken reports of Boll-weevil, even by those who have "lived in Tex as" or who have just come from the weevil country and know it (know it in their own opinion) . The spread of Boll-weevil this fall which has now apparently begun, may bring it into your county or may not. I am glad to receive any specimens which arouse suspicion. While it is of interest and importance to learn the truth it is desirable not to be disturbed by er roneous reports. We are receiving specimens like yours almost every day. Very truly yours, FRANKLIN SHERMAN, Entomologist . GREENSBORO BOY DEAD IN AUTOMOBILE WRECK R. S. McClamrock Killed and Two Others Hurt When Car Turns Over. GREENSBORO, Sept. 26. R. 8.

HARDING SPEAKS AT BALTIMORE TONIGHT ON BOARD SENATOR HARDING '8 8PECIAL TRAIN, Sept. 27 Traveling eastward on his second speaking trip of the campaign, Senator Harding, republi can nominee for president, was greeted by cheering crowds today at the stations where his train made short stops on its way across Pennsylvania . The first leg of the three day journey will be concluded at Baltimore, where the candidate will arrive late this after noon and will deliver tonight his second important speech of the campaign away from Marion. Tomorrow night he is to speak in Wheeling, W. Va., and the following day at Ashland, Ky. Running on a slow schedule the special train traversed Pennsylvania at a speed which permitted stops for rear platform speeches at several of the larger cities. A still greater number of stops were scheduled for the other two days of the trip, however, and it was expected that the nominee would make numerous short speeches in addition to three formal ad dresses on his program. CROWDS GREET HARDING. ALTOONA, Pa., Sept. 27. A large crowd, including many women, greeted Senator Harding, republican candidate for president, when he arrived here this morning en route to Baltimore. He was obliged to appear without collar and neck tie, owing to the fact that he was not . :.lled early enough. He made a brief speech in which he stated that the Cunimins-Esoh bill was one of the best pieces of legislation ever en acted for the workers.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 27 More than 1,000 delegates were in their seats in the Hippodrome theater this morning when Franklin D'Olier, national com mander, called to order the second annual convention of the American Legion. The floor of the theater resembled one of the big political conventions, state standards and pennants designating seats alloted to the various delegations. The convention prepared to adjourn at noon to witness the parade this afternoon of approximately 20,000 former soldiers and ex-service women, the feature of the three days convention. One of the first important matters to be presented before the conventions af ter the preliminaries was a report of the credentials committee. The committee was in session early today to draw up two questions . These are: Shall each department be allowed only its five delegates nt ,arge and one additional delegate for each even 1,000 paid up members, or shall it be allowed one additional delegate for each 1,000 paid up members or major fraction thereof? Shall the posts in foreign countries be allowed votes in the convention. Pending decision of these two ques tions the voting strength at the conven tion ranged between 1,047 and 1,150. Legion organizations in Mexico,, Pana ma, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, Ar gentina, Belgium, British Isles, Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, France, Guatemala, Japan, Poland, Samoa and Santo Do mingo were involved. The executive committee decided last night that representation in the conven tion should be on the basis of paid up national dues August 28, last, which on that date totalled 818,680. There was strong objection to this ruling by many states, particularly New Jersey, where it was said, the membership had been in creased by eleventh hour efforts from 22,000 to 36,000. National dues for more than 1,000,000 men have been re ceived now, it was said. R. G. Creviston, director of organi zation for the legion, said more than two million men have joined the legion. He explained the disparity between that fig ure and the number of national dues re ceived represent delinquents and un acknowledged payments of national dues. How the case of the ex-service men and particularly the disabled ha been championed in Washington during vhe past 10 montlis was shown by the report of John Thomas Taylor, chairman of the national legislative committee . In all 407 different bills were presented to the 5th congress and vitally affected the veterans. The legislative committee's duty was to see that action was taken on then.. The first convention of the legion in Minneapolis last November adopted a pre tent ions platform, cowring everything from war risk insurance to army nurses. The committee has had bills introduced covering every resolution adopted at the first convention. High lights in the legislative accon plishments of the legion are: The Sweet bill, increasing the allowance to disabled nieu from $30 to $0 a month; the obtaining of $46,000,000 for hospital ization for the disabled; increase in pay of vocational training students from $H0 to $100 a month; investigation of the methods of the federal board for voca tional training leading to improvements; laws to expel and exclude aliens who are anarchists. Among the bills that have passed in only the senate or the house are the Was son bill that improves the war risk insur ance act. and the adjusted compensatiogi bill. Other legislation that is pending covers such subjects as hospitalization, land set tlement, officers retirement, sedition, aliens, immigration, Americanization, civil service, slackers, and war risk insurance. Reduction of war risk insurance pre miums, an issue to be brought before the convention, will be opposed by members of the war risk bureau, it was stated by Major General Grover F. Sexton, of the bureau. The opposition of the bureau will be based on what members feel to be the unsound business policy involved. Colonel R. G. Cholmely-. Jones, director of the bureau, will discuss changes in methods of compensation and hospitaliza tion proposed in the Wasson bilL The convention will close Wednesday with the election of officers, and adoption of a ritual for initiation into the legion. The most prominent names mentioned in connection with the nomination for na tional commander are F. W. Galbraith, of Cincinnati; Milton J. Forman. of Illinois; Emmett O 'Neil, of Kentucky, and Han ford MacNider. of Iowa. Approximately 50,000 visitors were here today to witness the parade. A half holi day was proclaimed by Mayor Fitxgerald. Schools and many factories were closed for the afternoon, and all downtown stores closed when the procession passed. FOCH'S MESSAGE, " - . CLEVELAND, O, 8ept. 27. Greetings from Marshal" Fsch, of Francs, were read DEPOSITORS MAKE RUN ON BOSTON BANK Hundreds on Hand When Doors Opened Bank Invokes Law to Stop Withdrawals. BOSTON, Sept. 27. Several hundred persons gathered outside the offices of tha Tremont Trust Company here today when the doors were opened at 8:45 a. m., 15 minutes before the usual hour, and lines quickly formed before the several paying tellers ' windows. After withdrawal had been going on steadily for nearly an hour with the crowds constantly increasing, the bank officials announced that the law per mitting a bank to require 90 days' notice for withdrawals from the savings depart ments would be invoked forthwith "for the protection of the depositors." The regulation would be withdrawn "as soon as the public calmed itself." it waa an nounced. ' ' We have plenty of money to pay everybody," officials said, "and were pre pared to do so this morning, but the crowd became so large that it was impos sible to handle them, and we invoked the; law for the protection of the depositor, not for our own protection." In opening for business today the Fi delity Trust Company served notice on depositors that it would take advantage of the law permitting it to require 80 days' notice of withdrawals from the savings department. It was stated at the bank that this was done upon the direc tion of Joseph C. Allen, state bank com missioner. At his office it waa said that the taking of this action was optional with the banks. Several banks opened their doors with large amounts of ready cash piled high, within the tellers' cages as provision against e repetition of ther uns which de veloped Saturday out of the. closing of the Cosmopolitan TruBt Company. Bank officials in several instances an nounced by statement for advertisement 'that there was no connection between the Cosmopolitan, which was the fifth bank to be closed here within two months, and their institutionsand Hank Commissioner Allen declared that no other banking in stitution was involved in the Cosmopoli tan's troubles. Nevertheless, a recurrence of the runs in some degree was anticipated, depositor having become alarmed, and, in the ease of the Tremont Trust Company, having made constant withdrawals from earl morning to nearly midnight Saturday. The feeling of uncertainty over the banking situation was the schedule of dis cussion by Governor Coolidge and Bankers yesterday, but without announced decision of any contemplated action. On close scrutiny of affairs of local banks which Commissioner Allen has been making, was an order from him to the management of the Old South Trust Com pany to drop from its payroll former Gov ernor Samuel W. McCall, and four other officials, including two vine presidents. As chairman of the board of directors of the romitany. Mr. McCall. "who was ai- pointed recently, is drawing a salary of $8,000 a year. The object of the order is to reduce the bank 's expenses, it being the opinion of the bank commissioner that tte men he asked to have dropped are holding merely nominal positions. In each instance, they may continue to serve in their present capacity without salary, according to the order from the bank com missioner to the Old South management. McGRAW TO TESTIFY. NEW YORK, 8ept. 27 John J. McGraw and Magistrate Franeis X. Me- -Quade, manager and treasurer, respective ly, of the New Ybfk Nationals, today ac cepted a telegraphic request of the Cook county (Illinois) grand jury to testify in the investigation of alleged baseball gambling. They planned to reach Chi cago in time for Mr. McGraw to testify either tomorrow or Wednesday. Mr. Mc Quade explained that they could not be compelled to appear before the grand jury of another state, but that they were both anxious to offer their services in order to clear up this bus iness. to the American Legion convention hers today. He sent this message: j "To the American Legion in Convention AssemCled, Cleveland O. : ' ' Regretting my inability to find myself among the former combatants of the glo rious American army, my heart is with them at the moment of the second anni versary of the fighting they went through by the side of the allies for the common cause of right and liberty.
