Bandit Gang Thought
Working In Section
Nearby Cities And Towns Exper
iencing Robbery Wave Same
As Shelby.
The opiiri^flJJT.Shelby police cir
cles is that the recent robbery wave
in Shelby is not confined to Shelby
but covers the entire section and
is carried on by an organized gang.
Officers here state that nearby
towns and cities have been experi
encing a series of robberies similar
to that holding sway in Shelby now.
Stores have been broken into and
robbed in Gastonia. Charlotte, For
est City, Kings Mountain and other
points, and there have been hold
ups in Charlotte and elsewhere, all
of which leads to the conclusion
that the operations more than like
ly are carried cn by a roving band
Arrest One Here.
Monday afternoon Policeman
Rufus Sparks arrested Troy Camp
bell. employed at a local bakery, for
Gastonia officers who, it is said
connect him in some way, perhaps
as a look-out, with the recent rob
bery of a jewelry store there.
Due to the big haul of clothing
made in the store robberies here
last Friday night and the town
daring the night and made away !
with the loot in an automobile.
Carnivals visiting towns of the
section during the summer and with
the fairs of the fall season are
thought to have turned the atten
tion of the robber band to the sec
tion.
Officers are working upon one or
two clues in connection with the
Friday night robberies here, but as
yet nothing definite has been re
vealed.
Man Disclaims Neat
Five-Gallon Plant
Found In His Barn
Said He Took It In Out Of Rain
And Had Not Used
Still.
Some time back Deputy Gus Jol
ley found a neat, little five-gallon
copper still in the barn of Alex
Swink, of the Mooresboro section,
but in county court yesterday Swink
told Judge John Mull that he had
not used the mail order booze plant.
According to Swink's story, he
found the still in the woods nearby
and carried it to the barn to keep
the rain from corroding it. Evidence
was that Swink’s wife let the offi
cer know about the still’s location
when he was at the home on busi
ness.
The defendant was given a six
months suspended sentence and
fined $50 and the costs.

Simmons And Other Bolters
Not Likely To Be Punished
Washington —Signs of retaliating
against members of the senate who
bolted party lines in the Hoover
Smith battle are failing to take
shape—unlike the situation four
years ago when four Republicans
w’ere ejected from their party coun
cils for supporting the late Robert
M. La Follette.
Each party this year has a pair
such recalcitrants. Senator Norris,
of Nebraska, and Blaine, of Wiscon
sin, left the Republican ranks dur
ing the campaign to advocate the
election of Governor Smith.
The veteran Senators Simtnons, of
North Carolina, ranking minority
member on the senate finance com
mittee, and Senator Thomas Heflin,
of Alabama, denounced the Demo
cratic presidential nominee.
If either party is contemplating
acti.n a. -hst its senators who de
fine to s; r-ort the national ticket
first of the members to return to
the capital from the campaign. In
fact, few members desire r,o discuss
it.
However, Senator Norris, who
holds one of the "big five” comniit
mittee chairmanships of the sen
ate—the judiciary committee—in
dicated today he had heard rumors
of revenge against him, but added
j he knew of no definite steps.
I Four years ago, with a substan
tial majority in the senate, the
! Republican decided hot to invite
senators Frazier and Ladd, of North
Dakota; Brookhart, of Iowa, and La
Follette, of Wisconsin, into their
conferences. The first three had
j supported Senator La Follette In the
1924 presidential campaign. Two
! years ago the two survivors of this
group, Frazier and Brookhart, were
once more taken into "the fold. By
coincidence, both senators this year
advocated the election. of Herbert

Anti-Saloon League, Methodist
Board, Kluckers And
Others Aided.
(Special to The Star.)
Washington, Nov. 14.—No one ever
knows* how much is spent to elect
the candidates in a presidential
campaign, but there is reason to
pose that the 1928 bill has been
higher than $15,000,000.
Difficult as it is to obtain accu
rate data for comparison, there is
little question that this year’s cam
paign costs set a record.
In the first place, the Demo
crats had a large wad, which is
most unusual for them. New re
quirements for expenditure and
expansion of the old ones was an
other'reason. Lastly and very im
portant certain powerful organ
izations which ordinarily keep out
of national elections poured money
into this one.
The two national committees
have spent somewhere around $10,
000,000 of the suggested $15,0000,
000. Such organizations as the
Anti-Saloon League, Methodist
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals and the Ku Klux
Klan made a great and costly ef
fort. The sum total of their pol
itical expenditures eeftinot now be
told.
It must further be remembered
that the national committee is
only the one big collecting unit.
There are many smaller ones.
Money given to and used by the
state and local organizations in
stead of to the national committee
is not included in the national
committee budgets. All sorts of so
called volunteer organizations raise
and handle their cwn money. In
effect, some of them are so many
holding companies for the cash.
It is regarded as common knowl
edge that a great deal of secret
contribution and expenditure goes
on, ordinarily and for the most
part in doubtful states and the
largest centers of population.
How is all the money used?
Let's confine ourselves to the of
ficial budget money of the na
tional committees, because that's
much easier to trace.
It is too early to learn the respec
tive financial apportionments of
the national committees for 1928,
but they run pretty well along the
lines of previous expenditures by
whatever party had money to spend
and the only important change is
in the amount spent for radio.
The Democrats told this writer
their radiojaill would reach $650,
000. The "Republicans owned up to
$350,000. The Democrats say the
Republican bill must have been far
above $350,000.
Political Preachers
Would Be Ousted By
Laymen, Says Report
Small Starts Movement Seeking
Scalps Of Pulpit
Politicians.
(H. E. C. Bryant, in Observer.)
Washington.—A movement to oust
preacher-Politician" has been start
ed among Methodist laymen of
North Carolina.
Former Representative John H.
Small, a graduate of old Trinity col
lege, now Duke university, was very
much wrought up over the activities
of Bishop James E. Cannon, jr„ of
Virginia, and Bishop Edwin Mou
zon, of North Carolina, during the
recent campaign. A report that Mr.
Small had started a movement to
request Mr. Mouzon to leave the
state reached here today. But, when
asked about it, Mr, Small declared
it was untrue. He has urged lay
men to call a meeting and pass upon
the question of preacher-politicians.
Letters Sent Out.
• "No, that report is incorrect,"
said he, "But I have written letters
to North Carolina Methodists, who
have the future of their church at
heart, asking them for expressions
of opinion on the activity of their
ministers.
“I think this an opportune time
for intelligent laymen in the state
to meet and express their views on
the political activities of our preach
ers.
“I am receiving some answers to
my communications but not enough
to show the attitude of the laymen.
"Members of churches—in fact,
all Americans—should be interested
in the problem now confronting us
and express themselves.” Mr. Small
said he had written Charles W. Til
lett, among others.

BIS POLL BIB
BONE ON COUNT!
Experts Tell Why Cleveland County
Voted For Hoover, Which It
Did Not Do.
me poiitcai experts are not en
tirely immune from errors. Since
North Carolina voted for Herbert
Hoover the Raleigh writers, in their
wisdom, have" been explaining why.
This week in a general summar
ized explanation one Raleigh bu
reau writer explained that the big
industrial counties of the state—
Mecklenburg, Cabarrus. Davidson,
Forsyth, Guilford, Durham, Cleve
land and New Hanover—gave Hoo
ver large majorities not because of
religious prejudice or prohibition is
sues, but because they form an in
dustrial section which placed econo
mics first.
Laugh No. 1. Cleveland county
did not vote for Herbert Hoover be
cause the figures show that Gov.
Smith carried the county. That's
the best reason the county itself can
give.
Laugh No. Two comes in the fol
lowing paragraph quoted from the
political experts:
“Take the case of Cleveland
county, the home of O. Max Gard
ner and Clyde Hoey, which went for
Hoover by 176 votes,” said another
commentator. “You can't tell me
that Cleveland county voted for
Hoover because of its religious in
tolerance for Smith, or because it
feared Smith would abolish pro
hibition. The reason the majority
of people in Cleveland county voted
for Hoover was because of the in
dustrial and economic factors in
volved. For Gardner and Hoey had
dispelled all fears and all opposition
t6 Smith on all except economic
grounds. The people were afraid ot
what might happen to industry,
especially the textile industry, un
der a Democratic national admin
istration.. So they took no chances
and voted for Hoover. For they
were certain that Hoover would
continue to present Republican
policy of protection toward business
and industry."
Again it is reiterated that Hoover
did not carry Cleveland county be
cause of religion, Or prohibition, but
because he did not get enough
votes.
Curiously enough, it is noted
that in the big industrial counties
named, Gaston, the biggest textile
county of all, was not mentioned,
and Gaston did go Republican, per
haps because of its industrial view.
Will Rogers said New York people

Gardner May Not
Get In Last Game
Lady Luck seems to have frown
ed upon Ralph Gardner, center on
the Shelby high football eleven and
a son of Governor-elect and Mrs. O.
Max Gardner.
Young Gardner, an outstanding
player on Casey Morris' eleven this
year, being a senior would have
played his final game in a Shelby
uniform here Friday with Forest
City had it not been for a bit of ill
luck. In the defeat of the Kings
Mountain eleven he sufiered an in
jury to his shoulder which may
keep him out of the game. Coach
Morris is holding him out of prac
tice with the hope that his shoulder
may heal to the extent that he may
wear the Shelby uniform in the
game in which he and several of his
teammates will sing their swan
song. But the hope is a meagre one.
If Gardner is unable to play Fri
day, “Pug” Richards, scrappy little
guard, or Bill Lattimore, regular
tackle, may supplant him at the
pivot berth.

the several seniors who pull off
their blue jerseys after the game
will never again wear local colors
on the football field.
In addition to being the final

Clue To Burning Of Girl
Is Found In Religious Book
Chicago.—A page, from a book on

new light on the death of Miss El
frieda Knaak November 2 from
burns inflicted, she said, in "purl- 1
fication rights” in the Lake Bluff,
111., police station furnace room.
The book, found among
Knaak's private papers, spoke of the
' purifying process of pain.'
“It is grander to suffer,” said the
book, “because, rightly viewed, it
is sure to perfect the soul It is

pain. This is the process called
“the refiner’s fire.’ The last three
words were underscored.
Miss Knaak was found semi-con

died she persisted in her story that
she alone had inflicted the burns,
and a coroner’s jury last week re

Principles. Thanks His
Supporters.
New York, Nov. 14 —Governor Al
fred E. Smith told the country over
the radio last night that the prin
ciples of the Democratic party were
as great in defeat as they would
have been in victory, and that It
was the party’s duty “to carry on
and vindicate” the principles lor
which it had fought.
Standing before a microphone in
a National Broadcasting studio, the
defeated Democratic presidential
candidate delivered what many had
called his valedictory.
Nation’s Leader.
His speech, broadcast over a na
tionwide hookup of sta'tions, urged
united support of Herbert Hoover—
although he did not mention him
by name—asserting that the man
selected by the people last Tuesday
to lead the country was “not the
president of the Republican party,"
but president of the United States."
It would not do, said Governor
Smith, to let bitterness, rancor or
indignation over the result blind no
to the outstanding fact that wn
are Americans.” ,
Referring to the thousands of
letters he said he had received
since the election and since he had
announced that he would not again
be a candidate for public office, the
governor said he had been\ asked
“not to lose interest” in the Demo
cratic party. ’ fll
SofUnd Principles
He said he did not regard the de
feat of his party as interfering with
the soundness of the principles for
which it stood, and that with all the
vigor he could command he would
continue not only to stand for those
principles but to “battle for them."
He added a pledge of increasing in
terest in and devotion to them. |
The governor called the Demo
cratic party “the great liberal party
of the nation,” leading progressive
thought and holding out “the only
hope of return to the fundamental
principles on which this country was
built and as a result of whtch -tt-has
grown and thrived.”
To Young America.
“To the young rr.en and women
of the country,” he said, “the Dem
ocratic party with its fine tradi
tion, and its breadth of vision,' of
fers the only inspiration. The Dem
ocratic party would not be In posi
tion four years from now to solicit
the confidence and the support of
the American people, if during that
period it neglected to build up a
constructive program and relied en
tirely upon the failure of the oppo
sition party.
_‘That cannot be done by the,mi
nority party permitting itself to, be
come a party of destruction and op
position for political purposes wily.
We have seen too much of that in
this country and in many of its civil
divisions.”
Constructive.
“It would be regarded a construc
tive achievement,” he added, "if
the Democratic party at Washing
ton were to formulate program
adopted and offered to the congress
of the nation and there defend it.
A refusal on the parti of the party
in power to accept it or tneir in
ability to bring about party unity
for the solution of these problems
would then fix the responsibility
and make a record upon which a
successful campaign could be wag
ed four years from now."
The Democrats would not be act
ing in good faith. Governor Smith
said, if it were to adopt a policy at
inaction “with a hepe of profiting
solely by the mistakes or the fail
ures of the opposition.”
“What this country demands,” he
asserted, “is constructive and not
destructive criticism; a construc
tive program embodying the decla
rations of the Democratic party.^
