v ' . CONVENTION Hill Gubernatorial (. andidate Pleases I Crowd With Word Pic ture of Progress ?????? Raleigh, May 3.?O. Max Gardner, I only avowed candidate for governor I in 1928, made a decided bit at the! $tate democratic convention on I Thursday in his brief speech an-B nooncing his own candidacy and ? painting a word picture of the seven I democratic administrations since fl 1900. ? Mr. Gardner said: ? ? "Four years ago I stood on this IB platform and declared before a dem-jB ocratic convention that, in my judg-1 ment, political equity and geographi-fl ?al recognition entitled Eastern Car- jl olina to the uncontested right of nam- fl ing the next governor of North Caro- I lina. I hope I do not trespass upon fl political proprieties when I now an- fl nounce to a surprised public that I I happen to know at least one Western fl Carolina democrat and I hope only fl one, who, by the same equitable and fl geographical token, is giving serious-1 consideration to the subject of offer- fl ing himself as a candidate for gover- fl nor in the 1928 primary. "In order to forestall embarrass- fl ment, I refrain from mentioning his fl name. I can say at least one thing fl for him. His democracy is undiluted; I hie loyalty to his party undisputed, fl and his willingness, to serve hardly fl denied. "It affords roc great joy to assero- I ble with this splendid group of North I Carolina democrats. My interest in I the primary is always at its lowest I ebb just after one has been held and B during a political convention. There B is something fascinating about a po- B litical -onvention. It cultivates that fl close affection which grows from I common names, kindred spirits, from B similar advantages and friendly rival- B ry, but its contesting glory has fad- I ed, and we now meet to shake hands, ? B r Ia ?ot luathifn the iB I for fgrthf service to NJWi fl I Carolina. I "R ia the nature of man to ow- I I rate'present evil and to underrate B present good; to long for that which B he has nothnd to be dissatisfied with | that which he has. This fcehng is I the living germ ef the spirit of ,prpg- I ress, without which all governmedts B would soon decay, degenerate wd fl I pass atway. It is this spirit ef sis- ? tflitiAH progress that has enabled the H democratic party to hold aloft the fl I honpred traditions of our native state fl I gnd add a new lustre to her erown of I giory I "Ayeod^ the sweetheart of my po-jfl ?

I would have him ?greet this day with cordial co-opere lation and sympathetic purpose, as ?he successfully strove for the build ling of A finer and nobler state. ?

DEBATE ON Hatigen Makes Plea For His Measure; Pou Comments on "Unusual" Rule 5 Washington, May 4.?After months of committee deliberation, four days cf debate on farm relief began today in the house under a rule providing for the consideration of three bills re ported by the agriculture committee ?the - Haugen price stabilization measure, the Tincher credit plan and' the Curtis; Aswell commodity market ing proposal. The Haugen bill was given techni cal right of way, with the other meah t jn position to be called up as itutes. .So insistent aceHhe der s for time to speak that night session? are in prospect later in the week to pad out the allotted fourj days; ?he house will devote tomor row- to other bills* resuming the farm relief debate Thursday, and continuing jty wfotjfaiht/ifl', .unt.n Saturdaf Chairman Haugen, of the agri culture committee, opened the debate with a plea for enactment of his bill, which, he said, would place agricul ture on a parity with industry and ?redeem the pledge or?*^ repuoncan ?party to the farmers. "* I He maintained that the measure ?would make the tariff 100 per cent ?effective for agriculture, and that it ?was a simple remedy, not complicat ?ed and not paternalistic. M^Defending the" proposed $75,000, Bfund, which' would he used to stabU I :ze prices of boSic commodities,' he ?explained that after two years the ?fanners themselves would maintain ?the fund hy paying an equalisation ?fee on the sale of their products.

A/fair to > Be Before House Com. Washington, May 4.?Although the ihqrges which have been made igiinst him and against republicans vho were affiliated with him in the ampaign for governor which assured lis appointment to the bench ? are lot regarded as impeachable, mem :era of the house judiciary committee ire inclined to the opinion that Das el F. Hickey-'s request for steps look ng to the removal of United States fudge Isaac M. Meekins are grave tnough to require an investigation by i sub-committee." Impeachment, lawyer members of he committee say, can only be se aled for ''high crimes and misde neanors", committed while in office. Phe constitution is emphatic on this loint. If the president of the United Jtates were to see fit to appoint a fu rtive from justice to high office and he senate, in the absence of com ?jnint, were to confirm the appoint neat, the congress has no power to amove unless the official has com nitted some crime #r misdemeanor vhiie actually holding office. Some democrats, outside the North Carolina delegation, are inclined to nitiate a move looking to removal of iidge Meokins from office. Party ines were pretty well smashed in the ec'ent vote to impeach Federal Judge Inglish, of JUinois, but there is a eeling. that the republicans were ? nore enthusiastic because English rap an appointee of the late Pres ent Wjjson. Judfce Meekins was ap ointed'by Calvin Coolidge upqn the ecomraendation, of the republican machine in North Carolina and many rstwhile prominent democrats.. Hickey, in his petition for action y the house judiciary committee le ers to the Big Four in North Caro ina .republican politics.

Mr. Grfe-; om, alone of this quartet has not eeri involved in either formal harges or gossip and of the latter here is vastly more than of the for ner. >' When it became scmewhat certain '? n "North Carolina that Meekins rould be appointed in the event of a 'acancy in the eastern district, a lumber of democrats joined the re publican organization in a concerted Irive to prevent the filing of any bargOs against fir. Meekins, then iquidator for enemy insurance com >anles. When senate republicans. ' verc considering charges against ^rank A: Liitney, made by national legrq organization, Meekins sOlfaifted ihuscif with democrats by p reclaim ng, before prominent men in hia ' jorty, bis lily white republicanism. That practically assured his confir natioa without objection from either Iciiator Overman or Senate*.
