Cordell Hull To
Oppose Al Smith
South's Answer To Accusa
tion That It Had No Candi
date Against New Yorker;
Zeb Turlington Campaign
Manager In N- C.
By JOHN A. LIVINGSTON in The
News and Observer.
"Washington, May 1.—Cordell
Hull, of Tennessee, today entered
North Carolina as an active con
tender for the Democratic nomi
nation for President. Zeb Vance
Turlington, of Mooresville, accept
ed the job of managing his cam
paign in the State.
Entry of the Tennessee Congress
man in North Carolina means his
supporters will conduct an aggres
sive campaign in his behalf in all
Southern States with exception of
Georgia, which is backing Sena
tor George, as an active contender
against Governor Smith. It is an
answer to the argument that Smith
opponents in the South have no'
candidate of their own.
Hull’s entry as Presidential can-i
didate in North Carolina and other
Southern States means that Gov- j
emor Smith’s nomination is not,
going to be conceded by his op- j
ponents either now or hereafter!
unless he gets the required two- j
thirds in the Houston convention. !
The result in California was un- j
known when the decision to enter
Judge Hull in other States than |
Tennessee was reached by his j
friends. It pnakes no difference ]
what the result in that state is.!
The fight against Governor Smith’s !
nomination will go on.
Simmons Knew Plan.
While Senator Simmons had no;
statement to make today, the de-j
cision to enter Judge Hull as an
active candidate in North Caro
lina was made with his knowledge.
The Senator’s challenge of Gover
nor Smith brought him to the
front as leader of the Southern
opponents of the New Yorker.
Senator George was the first!
candidate considered by Southern
lead ers as the best man to put
up as Southern candidate to speak!
for the South. The Georgia Sena- j
tor’s leadership of the fight that j
resulted in the refeat in the Senate j
of the Walsh Resolution made him ;
unavailable as a Presidential candi
date.
Congressman Hull’s record of;
20 years in Congress, his success- j
ful chairmanship of the Democrat-!
ic National Committee in 1922 and |
his popularity are factors relied
upon to gain for him strength in
Congress speak in the highest J
terms of his ability.
After 250 Votes.
Virginia, South Carolina, Flori
da, Mississippi and possibly Texas
are included in the plans for an
active campaign for the Tennesse
an. Altogether there are 250 con
vention votes in the state in which
Hull’s name is expected to be en
tered as a candidate.
Acceptance of the State mana
gership by Representative Turling
ton in North Carolina was in res
ponse to a telegram sent yester
day by Senator McKellar, of Tenn
essee, and was made today in a
telegram from Raleigh in which
the Iredell man promised to do his
best to place Judge Hull’s claims
before the people of North Caro
lina.
“It is with pleasure that I ac
cept the managenient of Judge
Hull’s candidacy,’’ wired Turling
ton, who is recognzed as one of;
the shrewdest political leaders in
the State. He was in Raleigh,!
whither he had gone to confer with j
Anti-Smith leaders. !
McKelJar’s Message,
j “Am authorized by Judge Cor-1
dell Hull and his friends to re-;
I guest your acceptance of appoint-;
| ment as state manager for North
Carolina of the candidacy of Judge
Hull for the Democratic Presiden
tal nomination,” Senator McKellar
wired Mr. Turlington. “Knowing
your splendid ability and of your
devotion to the great moral and
economic prinqiples Nvhich have
heretofore t^ade the Democratic
party invincible in the South and
which have given character and
substance to the National Demo
cratic party, I convey this message
to you with great pleasure and de

that you will accept the State man

North Carolinians

Dollars For New Cars Dur
ing Month Of April.
RALEIGH, May 2.—North Car
olinians spent approximately $4,
935, 000 for new automobiles last
month, while an additional $911,
005.28 was expended for license
plates, gasoline, and title fees. Ac
cording to figures compiled by
Sprague Silver, head of the auto
motive vehicle bureau of the State
Department of Revenue, car sales
last month showed an increase of
40 per cent. Over those of April
last year, 5,640 cars being sold in
the State last month as compared
with 3,920 in April 1927. Based
on an average cost of $875 each,
cars purchased last month would
would total nearly $5,000,000, he
pointed out.
April sales also showed an in
crease of 26 per cent, over the 4,
459 cars sold during the proceed
ing month. For the first time this
year, car sales total more than
for the same period last year, with
17, 527 sold to May 1 this year,
and 17,123 during the correspond
ing time in 1927.
Mr. Silver predicted that par
sales this year would exceed those
of last year as a con siderable mar
gin, pointing out the fact ,that
Fords will be on the market in
larger quanities, although he
thought this would be only partial
ly responsible for increased sales.
Automobile license, gas, and ti
tie taxes collected during April
brought the total for the first ten
months of the fiscal year to 17,
004, 263.53, as compared with 12,
381, 848.88 for the entire fiscal
year ending June 30, 1927.

been licensed to date as compared
with 432,000 Dec. 31, 1927, and
434,000 June 30, 1927.
Despite the smaller number of
cars licensed, gasoline taxes for
the first ten months of the pre
sent fiscal year, $7,800,319.88, ex
ceeds by nearly a million dollars
the $6,923,327.61 collected during

HOUSE IN BELMONT
CATCHES FIRE
Yesterday when the fire alarm
sounded, it was found that a house
in Belmont was on fire. It was lo
cated out of the city limits, but
the fire department went to the
sceoie, and soon had he fire put
out. It was a four,room house oc
cupied by negroes, and it is thought
that the house caught from fire
around the wash pot in the yard.
The kitchen was practically des
troyed but the other part of the
house was only slightly damaged.
For general sweeping, dry salt
scattered on the carpet also helps
to preserve colors and to check the

Dr. Weigle Begins -
Meeting Next Week
Methodists And Presbyter-!
ians Join In Holding Series
Of Revival Meetings; First
Service Tuesday.
Following close on the heels of1
the revival services at the Baptist
church, the Methodists of this
city, will start a series of meet
ings with Evangelist Ctoas. F. i
Weigle, of Florida, as the preacher.
For two weeks Dr. Weigle has been
preaching in Selma when the Meth
odist and Baptists joined forces
and the interest has been fine.
The meeting closes in Selma next
Sunday night and on Tuesday night
the revival starts here. All congre-!
gations are asked to join in making
the evangelistic services mean thei
most to this community.
Dr. Weigle has been very suc
cessful as on evangelist, and with
a two weeks’ campaign just con
ducted at the Baptist church, the
Christian people of the town are;
expecting the community to be'
more deeply stirred during the
coming weeks. A newspaper at i
Bloomfield, Pa., where Dr. Weigle |
held a revival sometime ago, makes;
the following report of his work
in that city:
ino union evangelistic ser
vices in the M. E. church in this
place during the past two weeks;
closed last evening, with one of the!
greatest religious services ever
held in the town. All the churches
of our town had joined in this ser
vice, not only in name but in spir
it, and the good accomplished is
beyond measure.
“Evangelist Charles F. Weigle,
who has been conducting services
throughout the country for many
years, was in charge,and proved
himself to be a big man of God
before he was here forty-eight
hours. The people came from many
miles around to hear him, and the
closing night saw the biggest at
tendance of the campaign.
“People have . been telling us
that the church was losing out and |
that no one would attend services
that lasted more than thirty min-1
utes, but this campaign disprov-!
es the view. It was here clearly!
proven that it is possible to have
large attendance at church. Last
night the crowd began to gather
long before the hour of service;
and remained for the entire ser
vice, which did not close until 10:
45 p. m.
“Bloomfield was very fortunate1
in being able to secure Dr. Weigle. i
More than 80 decisions were had
during the two weeks, nineteen of
these coming on the closing night.
After the first few nights, there
was not a service at which no de
cisions were made.
“All expenses were easily met
and the free will offering to Evan
gelist Weigle was creditable and
gratifying to all.
“The men’s meeting Sunday af
ternoon was largely attnded and
very helpful service was enjoyed
I by every man present.
“During the campaign more than
0000 people attended the services,
some of them traveling more than
40 miles to attend, and all who fail
ed to attend missed a great treat,
The accomplishments of the ser
vice must not be measured by the
eighty or more divisions, which ir
itself was fine, but the blessings
that came to those in attendance
are beyond measure. We feel thai
the results will be lasting."
