COMMUNICATION
* ? **. , ? *.**?? ?/#%* r, .
Raleigh, N. O., January 21. ? On
the' 17th Josiah W. Bailey, Raleigh
attorney ?nd former Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, gave the pub
lic his reusona f?rf entering the '
gubernatorial contest according to j
an announcement previously made.
Announcing hia cahdidacy Mr.
Bailey proposes eleven "major"
principled hj| fenun (Aiding platform
.declarations. In brief, . they are as
fallows:
1. Relief of land from the tin
Just burden of taxation now imposed
upon it. ;
2. Fostering all , j that makes for
progress and "the laying pf emphasis
upon the moral and spiritual values.
3. The \jjr6aching and the prac
tice of souhd economy, getting A
dollar's worth of {ftiblic service for
every dollar's worth of taxes paid.
.4. To put an end to special fav
oh? and special privileges.
\ B. . To call the people t6 a renew
ed devotion to law.
6. To draw 'the policy of the
Commonwealth to the practical and
pressing ^ demands of agriculture
with- the establishment of just re
wards for common toil, the en
couragement of farm ownership,
and the making of farm life more
attractive.
7. To establish election and
primary laws th*t will (end the powr
er pt money an politfcs.
3. To' set the, trend of progress
In North. Carolina more strongly in
t^ie direction fit local self-govern
ment. . ; ? y ^
9. To renew the pemocratic par
ty's' spirit by direct contact with its
constituents,
10. To break down within the
Democratic partyva "political ma.
chine that seeks ^ power only to
seyVe. itself,9' / ,
, n- -T.o ?yoke the unrelenting.
sertion of the Will o^the people Sa.
the way to public economy, jupt

agricultural relief. . ? f
' Mr. Bailey does' not' T think" the
?*te Mac- progressed .politically.
Hear hita: '. "Our -political (stand
arjls are fifty, year behind the ma
terial/ moral, -and spiritual progress I
of the State,. .With all our progress, I
let as now progress a little political
ly."?. He will "buck" thV '"machine,"
so-called, and endeavor , to convince
the ..folks from the - public forum
that he is a people's man. /Speaking
is his "long, suitf* and he expects te
do a "lot pi iV' between this time
arid the 7t? day, of ' June.
A number lof Raleigh delegates to
various conventions and conferences^
te Washington last week,, inciuding
that of ^he Saloon League of
America and the' meeting of the
Democratic National Committee,
gained the impression from contact
with members ,of congress and leadi
ers of political thought from prac
tically every state- in the. Union,
that neither gt, the major parties
are going to nominate a candidate
for president who is not in full
sympathy with the enforcement of
the Eighteenth Amendment to the
Federal constitution and legislation
to make the same effec\ive. Nor
will either the Democratic or' Re
publican conventions adopt a plat
form containing a "wet plank." The
general itnpgession seems to be that
prohibition is no longer an issue ;
that the "dry" amendment' was rati
fied in due form, in the regular'
way, and must be 'upheld By all 1
patriotic citizens 'of the Republic,
in the 'National Democratic Execu-j
tive Committee meeting were Hon.
A. W. McLean, one of the candi
dates for Governor, and Miss
Mjary Graham, his associate^ on the
Committee. Other citizepS of the
State were present as spectators. 1
For the first time in fifty-six years
the committee decided, to hold the
National convention in the city of
New York and named June 24th as
the date for the meeting. Chicago.
San Francisco and St. Louis extend
ed invitations for the convention,
but New York won on the third
ballot.
A presidential preference poll of
91 of the 106 Democratic national
committeemen present showed this
result: William G. McAdoo, 52.

JEROME AND PUSHELL DOING
NICE, BUSINESS.
' Jerome Pushell, Brevard's
Broad Street Department Store, is
doing a nice steady business and
they deserve the patronage of the
people of Brevard. They are both
young efficient -and progressive citi
zens to be proud of.
? STOPS tHIS FOOLISHNESS j
The first guy that says donation
for booklets should be laughed out
of existence.
If you are in the boarding house
of hotel business, spend your own
money wisely by putting attractive
ads^ in the proper southern papers
advertising your business and insi
dently the wonders of Transylvan
ia. Have neat attractive post-cards
or* two or four page folders printed
about your own business where you
know whether you get the benefit
or not.
Let the merchants and profes
sional men and all other citizens
who have contributed every
year for booklets, etc., put the same
amount into* the Chamber of Com
merce It will amount to about
fifteen hundred dollars a year, at
least it the T?*t ten.
The last and most successful year
that the Brevard club ever had^ un
der the ablf leadership of its Presl
^nt, S. |M. Macfie, over thirteen
hundred dollars was deposited and
spent for the good of Brevard, and
besides this the special advertising
committee raised many hundreds of
dollars which was used in the old
method of advertising. Raise this
much money and pdt it into the
Chamber of Commerce and m^ieh
RTeater benefits will surely accrue
according to our judgement.

A LETTER FROM P. C. NELSON.

Springfield, 111., Jan. 18.
Dear ESflw:
After our -meeting at Brevard we
drove north through Washington, D.
C., and held^ear next, campaign in
Windser, Canada, a city of ' about
50,000.
In November and December we
held campaigns in Indianna, and re
cently in Illinoip. Am now back in
Springfield, 111.,., holding a meeting
in a tabernacle. During the sum
mer of 1922, we held a ten weeks
campaign here in a tent. 150 feet
long. It is a delightful experience
to get back among old friends. It
would do you g?od to hear scores
of people joyfully testifying to their
healing eighteen months ago in our
meeting here. Shall probably be
here some weeks and shall be glad
to hear from Brevard friends. Our
tent is still stored in Brevard, and
if we ' do not sell it, I may ' come
back there to get it. Would cer
tainly be happy to renew acquaint
ances there. '
My wife has been in Detroit some
time helping to establish a faith
home where people in need of
spiritual or /physical healing can
come and' remain a while for in
struction, inspiration and prayer.
Oui; M. A. Nelson left us in Septem
ber to pursue his studies in Midland
Bible Bchool, Shenandoah, Iowa, pre
paratory to going as a Missionary
to China. Our second son, who led
singing and otherwise assisted in
meeting8( the past two years, with
his wife, , the pianist, recently set
tled in Dearbon, Mich., a suberb of'
Detroit, made famous by the resi
dence of Henry Ford. We pray
God's blessingB upon all the people
of Brevard and Transylvania Coun
ty.
Most cordially,
P. C. Nelson.
