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

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.
