Considered Best Bet fol* Their Backius By DAVID LAWRENCE (CopyrlfM. 1924. By Th? Adtancr) St. Paul, June 16v?-Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wis consin will be given another opportunity to run for the Presiden cy on the Farmei-Labo 1-P rogress ive ticket. His repudiation of the com munists who are assembled here for conference has led to bitter feeling, but the extreme radicals in the Farmer-Labor movement are willing to abide by the strategy of their more conservative comrades and pre sent the platform of this con vention to the Wisconsin Sena tor for his endorsement. If he accepts he must agree to run on the platform adopted here. The platform will not be commun istic, according to C. E. Ruthern ,rf? secretary of the Workers Party of America and an avowed commun ist. He recognised that his group is in the minority here and simply says that if LaFollette is to receive the nomination of the delegates here he must agree to take the platform. "We are not interested in Indi viduals," said Mr; Ruthernberg, "but in principles and parties. Out of this conference, we hope will grow a third party. If Senator LaFollette doesn't accept, we shall probably nominate Duncan MacDonald of Il linois, former head of the United Mine Workers of that state, and Wil liam Bouck of the state of Washing ton. for President and Vice President respectively. We expect to put a ticket In the field In at least 40 states In the coming election. We nave already been organized and have considerable strength in Minne sota North and South Dakota. Ne braska Montana and Washington, and this year we have organizations in Massachusetts. New York. Connec ticut, Indiana. Illinois. Missouri, Cal ifornia, Pennsylvania. Ohio, New Jer sey, Kansas, Oklahoma and Colora do." The platform to be adopted will be along the lines of the Farmer-Labor party program, part of which de mands social legislation for the farmer and worker. To understand the situation here. It is necessary to appreciate that In the Minnesota primaries this week the communists ii? ar-? rea,15r left wing or rad-1 Seals of the Farmer-Labor party, nave entered a complete ticket and even a man to oppose Senator Mag nus Johnson, who in the eyes of the communists is a conservative. The communists realize they are in the minority and, of course, if their tick et loses they will support Magnus Johnson and any other candidates who win the Farmer-Labor party nomination. It so happens that the Farmer-La bor party Is the dominant political hody In this state as the Democratic "V./ , b,,pn v,l"iually obliterated while large numbers of Republicans have joined the Farmer-Labor party 1 nder such circumstances It Is ln ij , 'hat the Farmer-Labor party should In turn develop a radical and conservative faction -Mil" ,.Rut^mbprK explains that While the ultimate aim of the com munists which he represents In the nictation of the Government by the proletariat and the introduction of the soviet system" such a goal Is not readily reached and that It Is wiser to follow the methods of political ac tion through the regular constitu tional processes until such time, f,r course, an the communists gain suf ficient strength to overcome constl tutional barriers. The writer asked Mr. Ruthernberr how he defined the essential differ ence between Senator LaFollette and the communists. ? i i"^e"'o llfi "lo ?"r wny of thinking Senator LaFollette Is not o radical.

A new form of guarantee has been drawn up by the Swathmore Chau tauqua Association under which I there are three parties instead of. two as heretofore: First, the Chau tauqua Association; second, the ft-1 nancial guarantors. who pledge themselves to be responsible for any possible deficit; and third, the tick et selling guarantors, who pledge themselves to put on and carry thru a thoroughgoing ticket selling cam paign prior to Chautauqua's coming. The matter of selling the tickets was presented to Elizabeth City| women Monday by the Chautauqua superintendent and it is believed that if the women will sign up as] ticket selling guarantors the men will again back Chautauqua flnan-; daily. The most impressive plea for j Chautauqua in 1925 comes directly from the children of the community j who are asking in heart broken and heart breaking tones, "Aren't we go-1 ing to have Chautauqua any more?" or to translate It more literally, "Alnt we going to have Chautauqua no more?"

AMERICA OWES MUCH TO EUROPE Policy of Isolation III Bf comex This (Country, De clares Former Secretary on (lhautaiiqua Platform. That America owes its success in its Revolutionary War to European nations leaders of which had vision | to see across the Atlantic when It J required six weeks to cross It. and that a policy of isolation not only ill becomes this great country now when radio, telegraph and steamship had brought the rest of the world in finitely nearer to us than we were in 1776, but also is absolutely im possible was the message brought to Elizabeth City Chautauqua Monday night by William C. Redfield, former Secretary of Commerce under the Wilson administration 'In his lec ]ture on "We and the World." Mr. Redfield backed up his argu ment with facts and figures and swept his audience irresistibly to his own conclusion. There was in what |he said no spoken word of criticism of America's course as to foreign (policy In recent years, but as the speaker's hearers heard him re Icount what Europe and the world have done for America in making it today the richest and most power ful nation on earth, many who heard him could not fall to recall with a new sense of its -deep significance former President Wilson's last Arm istice Day address, delivered over |the radio to the American people only a few short weeks before the final chapter of his martyrdom: "When victory was won. we turned jour backs upon our associates and refused to bear any responsible part In the administration of peace or the firm establishment of the results ot the war, and withdrew into a sullen and selfish Isolation which is deeply Ignoble because manifestly coward ly and dishonorable." In the American Revolution, Mr. Redfield pointed out, France came to our aid with men and money whJn we were so pitifully poor that we had not the means to clothe our soldiers and when the militia who drove the British out of Carolina j fought. In some cases. In their nak ed skins. The thrifty Dutch provided us with money when the American |continental dollar was so worthless that It was used for wall paper and when "not worth a continental" was the superlative of absolute worth lessness, the speaker declared. Rus jsla. by refusing to "loan" to Eng land 20,000 troops to be used against the thlrtepn colonies probably saved 'American from defeat, he said, whiU* It was the training of i (Wman of ficer. who before he oast his fortunes with America was U?? counted on the tlffg< r-4 of I one hand, such as Indian corn and the crab apple, were with" t> our soil, the? r<*st having been bfOtli'.hf to this country from Europe, A.'iii or j Africa, while even todav we ran wt I hitrvest our wh^at without M? tlwin I-=fiI. mill our flour without .la:?nn? e ih!Ik or make n tin can without tin from the mines of the old w- rid, ??"Con wn afford." b" aid, "to lo?e [today a custom' r like England who buys two and a half million dollars of our prod nets a day or can we af ford to Insult Japan who buys 106 million dollars' worth of cotton ev |ery year?"

FINAL EFFORT TO GET WIDER ROAD ' I i\r (omitic* North of \IIm n:;irlr Sound I'lun to I nit#* in \?kin^ lor lf)*i ool lio;u! in lVri|itiinuii* bounty. A fin.il effort will be made in tho immediate future lo have the State Highway Commission build tho sir<*tch of road from Woodville to -Hertford of a 16-foot instead of a 9-foot width, if plans set on foot at a meeting of representatives* of the five counties north of Albemarle Sound held in the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce rooms Tues day do not miscarry. .Resolutions were drafted toward this end Tuesday afternoon and the plan is to have them ratified by the road-governing bodies of the five counties affected, and. with this en dorsement. to go before the 8tate Highway Commission in a final plea for a 16-foot road from Woodville to Hertford and. if possible, to bring the State Highway Commission, in view of the importance from an In terstate standpoint of the State roads through these counties, to a commit ment to a program of building all future State roads in this district not less than 16 feet in width. The committee to draft these res olutions and present them to the State Highway Commission, as ap pointed by Charles Whedbee of Hert ford. chairman of the meeting, con sisted of one member from the High way Commission of each county, with one or two other representa tive citizens of that respective coun ty and were as follows: Camden?-E. M. Sawyer and Her man fs'ewbern. Chowan?W. J. Berryman, C. S. Vann, Frank Wood, and R. O. Shackel. Currituck?E. R. Johnson and W. W. Jarvls. Pasquotank?J. J. Morris, W. O. Oaither. P. H. Williams, J. K. Wil son. Perquimans?C. W. Morgan, J. S. McKlder and T. 8. White. The idea prompting the meeting at this time Is the fact that grading is now being done on the Hertford WoodvlUe road preparatory to be ginning paving operations in the ve ry near future and It is hoped that, through stressing the fact that since a 9-foot road was decided upon this road has been practically determined upon as a part of the National Qoas tal Highway, the State Hifllway Commission may be persuaded to abandon Its 9-foot program for any part of what was once aptly designat ed the District Highway.
