MAX GARDNER DECLARES BUTLER IS BEST VOTE NORTH CAROLINA FOR 1,300 CANDIDATES ARE IN RACE FOR ELECTION TO HOUSE OF COMMONS Oratory By Aspirants For Seat In Parliament Fills Land CONSERVATIVES HAVE 425 Conservatives And Laborites Are Only Two Parties Which Amount To Much. LONDON', Oct. I'li. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Oratory by the aspirant for seats in the new parliament fills the land. Thirteen hundred candidates have up to now entered the cumpuigu for membership iu the house of commons. Of these 4'2 are conservatives. In round numbers labor has 400 candidates iu the field, the Asijuithiau or free lib erals 30", and the Lloyd Gcorgean or national liberals L'OU. The little Welsh man who lust his tost as prime minister lust week is vigorously striving to in crease the number of candidates under his banner. To obtain a a outright majority in the new parliament any one. parly would have to elect :U3 candidates. It will be seen, therefore, that the' conservatives and laborites arc the only two with enough candidates iu the field to obtain an independent majority. Their organ izations have been whipped into far bet ter shape than those of the. other parties. Tin? laborite manifesto holds a promi nent place iu all the morning papers to- day. They ( emphasize its leading points in heavy type- headlines, allowing bow unpalatable the labor platform is to most of the papers. One of the main centers of interest in the whole election is' Glasgow, where tho new prime minister, Andrew Bonar Law, li.'i two opponents, in his campaign for re-election as the member from tho cen tral division of that city. Former Bailie Mi tclie I is his opponent on the labor ticket and Sir t.eorge Paish is opposing him as n free liberal. Labor is making a vcrv strong cam paign among the largi population- of Glasgow. At present only one of the, fifteen constituencies in that city is rep - I resented by a labor member, but the party Jias for a long while comlucteil earnest propaganda in the big .industrial communities and it seems likly to fulfill its .hope of gaining a large representa tion. One of the candidates in Glasgow !s the communist, John Mac Lean, whose term of twelve months in prison for sedi tion expired yesterday. Treated as a political prisoner, MacLean devoted a great deal of his time behind the bars to the study of political matters. Com ing iit this time, his new freedom brings !to mind the fact that he was released (from confineinent while undergoing ; a : similar punishment in l'.MS iu order tha he could participate iu the elections of j mid tlie.el'on) amenable only to the juve that year. jnile court, lie also moved that defend- Reports that Premier Bonar Law inj-int be allowed to appear bv counsel in his expected reform of administrative j stead of in jiersou and introduce evi departments might relegate the works of , ,U iuc as to her age.

Hates Kohloss, Morehead And Linney As Much As He -Does Democrats. Max Gardner called it spade a spado here today in nuswer to Marion Butler's Xewton speech denouncing the so-called Democratic machine. Declaring that Butler .was the best vote getter in North Carolina for tho Democratic party, the former Lieutenant Governor went after .Butler iu u vigorous speech, which however, vas devoid of partisan personalities. ' He declared that Butler was staging his biennial comeback iu North Carolina. He was attempting to discredit the DemiKTatici leaders even ns he had repudiated the lenders of his own party. Mr. Gardner made a brilliant speech here. Although calling a spade a spado where necessary, it was delight fully free from bitter jK-rsonalities. He was heard by a largo audience, includ ing many ladies. . . ' Mr. Gardner said in part: It has never been my custom to niaka bitter partisan opeehes. There are many high class citizens who are republicans in North Carolina, for whom I entertain wholesome respect and whom I am pleas ed to iaH my friends. But today I feel it my duty to call aspudo a "spade, and I shall not, hesitate to do so iu tho bill of particulars 1 am about to chargu against a certain republican . who not only challenges the supremacy of tho democratic .party in, North Carolina but likewise, with equal vigor and vehe mence, denounces the leadership of hij own party. . . His mime is Marion Butler. He is up to, his accustomed biennial efforts to stisge u come-back in the state. Jle said in his Newton speech that lis was ashamed of North Carolina because of its devotion to the ideals of Woodrow Wilson. Isn't that gall for you It was not alone the state's love for Wood row Wilson but its lack of faith ia Butler that resulted, in a u.ajority of KO.OOo for the ilcinocratio party two years ago. ; In his recent, speech he poured out his accumulated wrath upon what he terms the iniquity of toe 'democratic machine.' It was tho democratic machine that fore-' closed on Marion and bankrupted his; ambition. He spends most of his time in Washington, a sort of fugitive from the scorn and contempt of his mother state. He is almost us relentless against the democrats of the state as he is against "the hog combine" of his own party. No midline was ever more roundly abused or violently lampooned than iu Butler's vitueratiou against his own party iu Greensboro a short tinm ago when he termed its dominant f.ictiot) :t "combine of hogs,' or "hog com bine" if you prefer.
