far tho Democratic organization
Ima done very little.
Tho l?al*olletto third ticket Is .
making more noise than th?* Deni- '
oerat*. Senator llurton Wheeler. ,
Vice I 'residential nominee with
LaFolklte^ttddrt nyej an enthusi
astic mooting Iter** two nights ago.
It was rainy and the hall would
have seated It. 000 but about 2,
000 or more were on hand. And 1
they cheered* hi til Willi a uptotan
iety that tended to prov*- they did j
not n?n d to be convinced of the!
merit of his plea.
Analy/lni: the crowd. It was
lot a silk stocking affair though
l\ore and there wore the parlor
i.oclalist types. Moat of the audi
1 nee came from the working
classes. They looked like the
thousands one has aoon listening
intently to the so^p box orators
of the paat ten y? ars. No doubt
there were many l>emocrnta but
the conclusion seems Justiil' d
that the third party ticket ulti
mately will draw firmv bulb mw -
?or parties. Yet It will not afreet
the outcome here, for the stay
at-home vote which ao often U
conservative will be coaxed to thf
thin year. One does n?>r
have to go far to discover that"
the bencllciary of the get-out-th.e.7
vote movement will be the Repub
lican party.
The public may be prepared for
f. record-breaking vote. Judging
tiy the efforts being made in lo
calities ho one aided in pnlitica u?
this. The vote In Maine a feu
days afco was significant of this
move. Then 200.000 votes _wer<
cast as compared with '971,0)0
four yearn ago. Incidentally the
mathematicians will be som.e*lnt
upset. Professor Irvin Fi^Jfer, of
ViUe. has figured It out. for in
stance , that the Democrats in
Maine had a higher pore- ntnge < f
the total vote cast last. Monday
than they did two or four years
ago and that corresponding the
Republican percentage of the to
tal was diminished. Throughout
the nation a larger vote than four
years ago is In prosper* notwith
standing the early slgne of *:?
apathetic campaign so usual in
September. This part of New
York state, populous and conser
vative. is a good cross section by
which to Judge.
Rut who are the LaFollctte
supporters? Are they form* r
Democrats or Republicans or So
cinlists. The Republican leaders
almost everywhere would have
one believe LaKollette Is swallow
ing up the Democratic party. V t
not a single outstanding Democrat
in this citv has come out for l.n
Follette. nor have any lending Re
publicans for that matter. In tl's
respect Indeed does this campaign
differ from 1912, Then almost
every day some prominent Repu'.t

By SK.VVTOIt I'. II. U II. MAMS
The writer is requested to sub
iii it a few articles in referenc? to
tin* proposition now before the
people to bond the air?udy heav
ily bunded Statu for $K, 500,000
fur ships mid terminals.
The project. designed by enthu
siastic and visionary imaginations.
Ih alleged to develop tli?- Eastern
? uk-tutnaf thi< wad -at ? 44v
name time to aolve all our trans
portation problem*. The writer
Ih vitally concerned with the
j Ilnst, having traversed It* coast
Hue from north to auuth and hav
*1ng observed Its Changing com
merce and trade for many years.
It hah prog reused economically
and roinm> rclally for the last 20
yearn, Its traducera to the con
trary. If one will take the time to
collect the statistics as to values
on the tn\ books and the hank
deposits which uh .the test of
progress.
However, its progress has not
.hern commensurate with th?
Piedmont, thrilled by the activi
ties ?f its increasing manufactur
ing enter prises. Indeed, the writ
er bns made an honeat effort to
persuade himself that he too vl
( sinned the great light plctn ? ? d by
tin* proponents of this measure,
that the project would atlr nnd
stimulate the East and place it on
the highway of a greater prosper
ity. and that It would be the spe
cific for all the transportation
probh ms of the State. He has
been importuned to support the
measure, although he was not
able to discern the earmarks of
sound economies, upon the ground
tha* it U an bxperiinunt, a specu
lation, in which larga sums of
money wnuld ho garnered from
the wealthy and plutocratic Pied
mont and ? xplolted along the wat
erways o f the more frugal East,
and that the East had all to gain
and nothing to lose from sponsor
ing Hie experiment.
Allegiance to an Immediate
community might constrain a fa
vorable response, might prompt
the intellect to blink at the dls
agreeable rea littles and obey the
hiddancc of the emotions; but the
allegiance to the whole 8tate con
strains on" not to let the pride of
prosperity lead lilni to follow a
pipe-dream and to overcome b>
rhetorical word pictures that are
mere gratuitous assertions, alle
gations without substantive evi
dence which cannot stand before
the searchlight of facts and reas
on.
In the consideration of any
question of vital Importance to a
people, conclusions are arrived at
\'-ry often loo hastily from two
shallow sources.
First, the facts In hand arc
not of sufficient extension and
romprrtienslon to arrive ut
correct conclusions, but are pro
. \lnclttl in character and the lllus- .
t rations are not ifluttratlre For
? xample n person discovers gas
exudlflg from the surface. Jumps
to the conrluolon that a huge res
i i voir of r II lies Just beneath the
surface and expends a vast amount
of enthusiasm and money to And
that the g is effusion wss the pro
duct of some temporary decaying
vegetable matter Just below the
surface and the result of his wild
catting Is Just a hole In the
around. Thus gas fumes are of
ten mistaken for the signs of sub
stance.
Second, many conclusions arc
arrived at by the observations of
fractional truths and arousing
the emotion of prejudice, weap
ons that are too often employed
In the trial of causes, on the poli
tical busting* and th* considera
tion of economic questions, nnd
are the effusions of provincial
minds and a weak cause which
culminate In fait* conclusions.
On the question before us w*
must dig deep, study comprehens- 1
Ivrly and think nationally before
eorrcct conclusions are reached.
In the very beginning; of our
m( nd y or this proposition there are
certain indisputable facia that
, ahould be known as a basis upon
which to hulld end to nnd other
facts. ?
t 1 ) Freight rates and trana
- |M>rtMtli>n? arr nut n^."^T~ or deter
mined by state linen, but all th-'
ports of all the states are free
and op. n m every state upon the
name terms and conditions as
^they are to the state In wtUeh
tlrey are located No state trains
or enjoys a special advnntage ov
; or other states by reason of a
port located within Its border*,
save that of neurness to its indus
trial centers.
<21 The Ship and Water
Transportation Commission on
pnge 39 of their report found as
a fart that, "The charta show
that tliH only deep water ocean
Inlet along the North Carolina
coast that will permit the devel
opment of ocean traffic and that
1 will avoid the doners of the
I North Carolina capes Is the Cape
Pear River." This ttmtlni; at
once excludes all other localities
In North Carolina from further
consld< ration and Is undoubtedly
, correct.
(3) Shi pa avoid the danger*
of the North Carolina Capes, the
graveyard of American shipping,
and the insurance companies
charKe extra premiums for the
hazards existing at these capes.
( -I \ Take your map and ob
tain a Hear conception and a cor
rect picture of the relative posi
tion of the Cape Fear basin to
the industrial center of North
Carolina. The entrance to the
Norfolk port is located on the
thirty-seventh parallel of lati
tude. The Industrial center of
, tills State lies between the 35th
and the 36 parallel, or ofte-hnlf
to two degrees south oT the
Hampton Itoads parallel, or one
quarter to one three-quarter*
south of the Norfolk parallel. The
entrance to the (Tape Fear basin
Hen a little south of the 34th par
iallel. or one to two degree* south
of the Industrial center of the
i Stnte; upon about the same par
allel as Columbia, South Carolina,
and Gainesville, Georgia, and
j south of the industrial centers in
South Carolina around Greenville
, and Spartunbnrg.
15) The flow of traffic from
and to North Carolina Is princi
pally north and west. Tims 1
shall argue later that the Cape
Fear basin is too far south to
nerve the Industrial centers of the
Htat?. and that a commodity Icav
ing Itslelgh or Greensboro for
New York would have to travel
about 200 miles farther via Wil
mington than via Norfolk, aay
iug nothing of the hazard* of the
ca|M's nnd the extra premiums col
lected for such hazards. On** must t
of nece salty keep these landmarks
of (incontroverted facts In mind In
endeavoring to ascertain a correct
conclusion. Nor must one be dis
turbed In regard to the major
ports of Boston. New York. Haiti
more. Norlolk. New Orleans. I<oa
Angeles and San Francisco For
they are the product of convert
Ing railroad termini both of the
Middle West and the transcontin
ental lines, the mobilizing centers
of all these rail lines which pro
duced ships and terminals and
are not the products of ships and
terminals. To compare the Cape
Fear basin located on North Caro
lina's peninsula south of the In
dustrial center and deformed hy
the hatarda of Hattera*. with the
development at the above mot. Ill

ductive of aouno economic results,
