j5araaft that Such a Cause Should
Have as Champion a Man
' of Settle' Brilliancy
' At $ .o'clock last night, the time set
Xar the speaking, fifteen "people had
3tngregated in the court house to hear
lion. Thomas, Settle
Before the apealcing' began, however,
i. pother dozen or bo not over a gross
v were attracted by the continued ring
ing of the court house bell. The pris
?neri in the adjoining jail had a fine
opportunity to hear the discourse.
.'They were attentive, and the speeches
' "(seemed to do them good. It was doubt
'lee the best talk some of them had heard
far a long time.
"Jt Mc George Greeiy started the cere
monies by introducing Hon. David H.
dtJPIair, Republican Candidate for attor-'Jl-wy
general. He paid a glittering tri
w. .'" ')bute to New Bern and all the rest of
-fthe country. Naturally ,a protective
.;: "' tariff had been responsible for the build
rs: ; ing.up of this country. He really gave
" , .sagood talk . The court room was fair-
: "ly well filled by 'the-time Mr. Blair
. got well under way.
When the audience had reached re-
tspectable proportions, Hon. Thomas
' Settle was introduced, as one of North
: "(Carolina's most distinguished sons
sand 'Republican nominee for governor,
v JMr, Settle started to speak from the
V platform in front of the judge's bench,
Jbut a man in the audience who described
tiimself as a Democrat, but a friend,
masked Settle to get where, the light
would shine on his face,' and the speaker
mounted the rostrum. 1
. ... Mr. Settle began his address with a
rery smooth line of talk about the
. Jbeauties of New -Bern. He is some
jollier, which is evidenced by the fact
v Ahat he stated that it' did not require
the opportunity to debate any high
. -moral question to bring him tothis city.
He was glad to come on any pretext.
Settle said this was a novel campaign.
' There was never one like it before. He
said that the only Democratic question
was, "What is a Democrat?'' They
" N conjured with the name of Vance, bu
v when he was alive, they grappled at
.&.: Jhls political throa 'Simmons is not
v' sl Democrat," says Kitchiti, "No more
S' ' aire you," retorts Simmons, while
' dark claims he is the only true, virgin-A-
pure Democrat, ' according to Settle.
(.' ' - Vour boss, Josephue Daniels, says
. 1 ' joeither Simmons not Kitchin is a Dem
ocrat," said the speaker. There, were
J,'t .cheers for Simmons when Settle, said
" " -i Simmons was right in his vote on the
''' s ' Jumber question. " Ji '' ' '. '
. "The wayfaring man, even though he

Renewed Efforts Being Made by
Government Men to Break
Up Liquo Traffic '
Eleanor Thompson, colored, and said
to be one' of -the most notoriouswhiskey
sellers in this section of the state, was
placed under arrest Monday afternoon
at Camp Perry by United States Deputy
Marshal Samuel Lilly on a warrant
charging her . with retailing spirituous
liquors' without, a governmeiit Hceose.
She was taken before United States
Commissioner F. .W. Hargett at. Jack
sonville for a preliminary hearing.. Sev
eral witnesses were placed on the stand
by the government and' at the conclu
sion of the heatfhg Commissiorier Har
gett found probable cause, and bound
the defendant over to the next term of
United States District Court .under a
bond of two hundred , dollars. . The
woman attempted to secure this amount
but was unable to do'soand was brought
to this city and placed in the county
jail for safe keeping." ' i 1

of the arrests made by them will show.
The government, "of course, -cannot in

But the records' show 'that there are
comparatively few smqu licenses in force

NEW YORK AND BOSTON TIE
If
Baseball Interferes With
Busi-
ness. Give up the
Business
Score R. H. E.
Nrw York 6 113
Boston 0 12 2
With the weather ideal Fenway park,
Boston, was crowded to its utmost
capacity yesterday afternoon- with de
lirious fans intent on seeing the second
game of the World's Champion Base
ball Series between the New York Giant
of the National League and the Boston
Red Sox of the American League. In
the first inning the Red Sox put three
men across the home plate. In the
second inning the Giants made one run
and in the fourth inning added
another. In the fifth inning the Red
Sox added another run to their list and
it seemed to the thousands of spectators
that they had the game cinched, but
in their half of the eighth inning e
Giants made three runs and the Red
Sox added still another run to their
score. Fromthis time on the game was
fast and furious and until the end of
the eleventh inning with the score
standing six to six the game was called
on account of darkness.
Scores of local fans crowded around
the Journal's bulletin board during' the
game and read the reports as they came
in after each inning. Boston and New
York seemed fairly well balanced in
the esteem a'nd personal devotion o!
the Jocal fans. A multitude of facts
and fancies. and circumstances fn.fr
into determination of preference in a
case of this sort. The most highly
trained psychologist could scarcely
take a look at a fan and name his pro
ference in a world's series. If one of
the contesting vteams has on it a player
who is well known or is a son of the
South, that will win the favor of many.
Sometimes it will be' won because a
manager has had hard luck in the past
and is coming into his own. Your
typical fan" never forgets anything nad
never - forgives. A crooked deal
he thinks someone got away back in
1903 "will influence his hopes and even
his betting in the year of grace 1912
Consequently every time a team
made a run yesterday their act was re
warded by cheers in New Bern before
the next side had time to get to the bat
It was the same way in Florida. Doubt
less it was the same in San Fransico,
The "man who fired the" shot heard
'round the world has a rival in every
world's championship baseball series,
when a base hit on the shore of the
Atlantic means a, yell on the sands of
the . Pacific. The third game will be
played today at Boston and the Journal
will begin to post bulletins shortly after
O'clock.

ciation Met.
MOTOR CARS TO THE GROUNDS
Stock Company Organized to Ope
rate A Line of "Rubber
Neck Wagons"
The Executive Committee of the
Eastern North Carolina Fair Associa
tion met last night to consider a pro
position made by Messrs. F. M. Hahn
and Al. Newberry relative to operating
a line of motor busses between this city
and the Fair grounds during the week
of the Fair. The gentlemen making
the offer asked tthat the Association
donate the sum of $300.00 toward help
ing pay the expenses incidental to
getting thenars to this city and oper
ating them during the week. As the
association would receive no returns
from this,' the committee' after dis
cussing..rthe matter decided to reject
the proposition ' and' adjourned.
Immediately' after the adjournment
the members of the committee met at
private citizens and organized a stock
company which will be known as the
Oaks Traction Company, the object
oi which is to operate a line of motor
busses during the week of the Fair.
Ten thousand dollars in stock was
subscribed and t his afternoon Messrs.
VV. C. Willett and L. II. Cutler, Jr.
will leave for New York where they
will purchase the liig cars. Four of
those, each with a capacity of forty
seven passengers and sufficient power
to carry a trailer in addition, will be
secured and will lie on the scene in time
for the Fair.
The present plans of the stock com
pany proniotinthis project are to
operate the cars only during that week
but there is a probability that the lir.e
will become permanent or at least that
the cars will be used for sight-seeing
vehicles with a regular run to
different points in and near the city.
