JOHN W. DAViS
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS ONLY'
BAR TO FUTURE THIRD PARTY
(Special Correspondence.) '
.In a long and thoughtful editorial
eptitleW, "How to Head Off a Third
Party," the New York Times analy
zes the present political, situation
discusses the signific?fice of the a U
tempf of the LaFolIette group to
control government by blocking it(
and urges the election of John w!
Davis as tjie safe course to progress
lyeness without the risk of ' paraly
sis. The New York Times is an in
dependent journal of.' conservative,
views and in general is not unfriend
ly to the Republican party This
editorial is taken to reflect the opin
ions of a good many Independents
and Republicans for whom the
Times often speaks.
After reminding its readers in
effect that the spread of the La Fol
lette movement is likely to be more
rapid and disturbing following the^
Pr?<ajfenti?1 electi?n..the Times says:
They (LaFolIette and his follow
ers,) do not expect to win this year's
election. The utmost they hope for
is to Prevent anybody from getting
a majority in the Electorial College
But afterward, should the resulting
confnsion and the crystallizing of
discontents into votes . warrant the
formation of a Third Party, one will
be formed That constitutes a pol
itical peril still distant but visibly
threatening." y I
The outcome of this movement,
the iimeu believes, would be* a "di
vision among our citizens, not. ac
cording to sectional lines or political
principles, but according to the'sup
posed interest of a single body a
mong our citiz^hip." There" would
be the danger also, as the Times sees

OUR RAL1EGH
COpUNICATION
Raleigh, N. C., Sep. 22 Senator
Pat Harrison, o f Mississippi, brought
a message^ of cheer to North Caro
lina democrats on Thursday even
ing. Speaking ?o an audience num
bering at least flvg thousand, at the
city auditorium, the Senator set
the pace for A speaking campaign
which will hearten party adljftrehts
from one end of the State to the
other.
The Senator stated at the outset
that he did not expect to make a
speeph and came only to indulge in
a heart to heart talk with his fellow
democrats. He went on {o say
that he enjoyed hothing better than
speaking to democrats," except stand
ing on the floor of the United States
Senate and telling the republicans
what he thought of them.
But he did make a speech and an
effective speech at that. He dis
avowed any intention of a complete
review of the entire unsavory re
cord of the republican party, as that
was impossible.. The republicans,
the senator declared, weife swept
into power four years ago on a
wave of discontent, and ? promises,
not a single one of- which has been
redeemed. Many democrats were
deluded into "f olio winj|k the crowd"
in 1,1920, but. came back By the thou
sands two years later. Thiai year
they are returning hg- the millions.
The Senator w eloquent in re
counting- the amazingly fine record
of the democratic party under the
leadership of Woodrow. Wilson and
declared the party had this , year
named the equal of its great leader
in 1912, and 1916. John W. Davis,
he said, is by charactetr and train
ing the best, -man the party could
have named as its nominee for presi
dent, and all signs point to his eleb
tion iri November.,; The people can
not survive on promises, they want
performance, he shouted, and de
mocracy will -r- us to expec
tations in every particular.
The speaker took President Cool
idge to task for his failure to exer
cise the power vested in him to re
duce tariff rates, especially on sugar
and other necessities. He flayed the
republicans for raising the tariff
rate on cash* registers shorjtljr after
the * president of - the corporation
that manufactures them had given
f 80,000 to the republican campaign
fund, and for adding a duty to the
manufacture of chewing gum after
"Billy' Wrigley had given his check
.for $25,000. He paid his respects
to various forms of corruption which
have' been saddled upon the preset
administration, called names and re
cited instantees which confirmed
the truth of his allegations.
Senators Simmons and Overman >
and the entire delegation in the
House from North Carolina, were
commended for their efforts to com
pel I the enactment of legislation in
the .interest of the whole people,
rather than yielding to the pleadings
of special J privilege. Senator Sim- i
mans .was highly n raised for the talc
plan he worked out and which was '
finally accepted over the protes^ of
Secretary Mellon and the republjean
majorities of both the Senate and
the House of Representatives.
Senator Harrison freely predat
ed the -election of Davis and Bryan
and a democratic Senate. His views
are not in accord with those who
fear a dead lock in the electoral
college or .in the House of Repre
sentatives. He feels that fhe demo
crats are going to win at the polls
and handed out a line of convincing*
talk to sustain his contention.
The pleasing and convincing way
in which Senator Harrison presented
the democratic cause has awakened
interest anew in the ranks of the
party hereabouts. He brought the
right message, at exactly the right
time.
There will be a McCall reunion |
at Little River Church the first Sun
day in October. All the McCall's
of Transylvania and Henderson
Counties are invited to bring bas
kets and come.
eyes to the fact that 'the" Democrat/
have taken for leader this year a
man of unblemished character and
unusual capacity," says the Times.
If he is chosen President and has a
united and eager party at his com
mand, it will go hard hut he will bo
able to head off any large movement
of the dissatisfied. On the other
side, there is at least a stronr liveli
hood thnt a "Republican victory
would be followed by an extrava
gant and dangerous political agita- '
