Cameron Morrison, can didate for the Democratic nomi nation for Governor, spoke in the Raeford school auditorium, to a large and attentive audience last Thursday night, Mr. Morrison was nearly an hour late in reaching his ap pointment, but when he ex plained why he was late he was roundly applauded. He spoke at Jonesboro that afternoon, and a funeral caused a delay in the speaking and as he was starting for Raeford he accidentally met his opponent, Hon. 0. Max Gard ner, and they held a brief but friendly conference and called off the joint debate booked to be held iu Raleigh M.onday night. They wisely did this for the good of the Democratic party. Mr. Morrison made a strong Democratic speech made only an incidental allusion to his candi dacy. His explanation of the League of Nations was the plainest yet most comprehensive we have heard of seen. The ci'owdc-would have been much larger but for the incle ment weather, and it was all Morrison. They came from all over Hoke, from Scotland and Robeson.
