Hoover Worried About Wetness In
Party Ranks; Leaders Troubled
New York G. O. P. Gamp Or Damp
er Than SoMyelt And
Smith.
Washington,—Wiiat appears to be
a steady expansion of the wet sen
timent in the country has taken
President Hoover and his advisers
by surprise, and it has occasioned
no little embarrassment. The ad -
ministration was not at all prepar
ed lor developments in New York—
the act of the Republican leaders
going about as wet as their Demo
cratic opponents. under Smith,
Roosevelt and Rarkob. Mrs. Mc
Cormick in Illinois, in fear of de
feat in the senate race by James
Hamilton Lewis, wet Democrat, has
been forced, like the dry Walsh, of
Montana, to announce her willing
ness to abide by the result of the
referendum on prohibition, and it is
certain to be a wet decision in Her
state. And now Mr. Morrow has
spoken again in New Jersey, urging
repeal of the 18tli amendment.
With such states as Illinois, New
York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania .‘ml
Massachusetts threatening to tar.
the wet side of the argument i; i
1932, the Washington ndmintstrn- j
tiori has been impelled to sit up and
take notice. Unless the presumably
dry south can lend Mr. Hoover a I
helping hand, he may find himself
under the necessity of abandoning
the noble experiment, at least ii.
part. It his taw enforcement, com
mission heads that way, under the
guidance of Mr. Wickersham, th*
President may be compelled to ac
cept some sort of modification pfo
gram. for there are indications that
the Republican party is going to
lose some ground in the congres
sional elections next month, as a re
sult of the wet and dry issue.
If he must yield to the force of
circumstances Mr. Hoover will do so
with reluctance, and it will be
against his better judgment, ot what
he thinks is best for the country
In the matter of prohibition Mr.
Hoover has never been an extrem
ist. and some have doubted whether
he should be rated a dry. but never
theless the President has been con
vinced for sometime that prohibi
tion is a necessity in this modern
machine age. that it is best for the
country industrially and morally.
His views correspond, measurea'olv.
to those entertained by Henry Ford
and other great industrialists.
Raskob Dropped As Issue
So noticeable ha;. become the
change in sentiment on the wet and
dry issue of late months that 'he
Republican national committee has
been constrained to drop John '
Raskob as an issue in the present
campaign. The publicity end of the
national committee started out to
play up Mr. Raskob. and his several
wet activities, but the chairman o'
the Democratic national committee
—and its acknowledged angel— go!
to be an issue of doubtful value to
the Republicans when a large sec
tion of the public in Republican ter
ritory showed a disposition to ac
cept the Raskob point of view. In
fact, and as before stated unless the
dry south, or sonv* section of the
county, can do something for the
harried Mr. Hoove*, he. rather than .
Mr. Raskob will have to give ground
in the end.

In this “crack-proof” motor oil you have combined

Deer Star Reeders;
Behold election cay draweth nign
and who shall be abut tu stand.
The Democrats and Republicans
air a fiXin tu have a purty big day
of hit, but no whar is thar any men
tion made of dinner on the grounds
an thar will be no collection taken,
su fur as we can lam by either side.
All parties air k blaming tulhev
side with the hard tunes that we ait
enjoying at the present, and Sal.
says she don't know if they haiir. !
about rite. Rascality is a gittin tu be .
more common and popular than hit,
use tu be, an the ignorant an m-'
competent seekln olfice their nanr
is legion.
And tell lies—I use tu think tha'
these here rale estate fellers had i
license tu tell lies fui* the whole ,
state, but now' hit seems like .be
politicians an candidates has about ;
shamed 'em out of business. Bill us"
tu be counted the biggest liar in ihi
country with the exception of Deca
tur Warlick an sum more fellers c,\er j
close tu Behvood, but Bill sets round ;
now' all humped up jist like a feller j
who Is out of a job His .wife blames i
hit tu his going tu these here pub
lic speakings, Sal 'gits so mad at. the j
way they carry on that I've know ad I
her tu cuss both parties at the same ]
time while not a wave of trouble]
rolls across her peaceful breast.
I hope the eleeti' n will turn oi l i
alright and that both sides win, fur j
they shove, have dene a lot ot hard
dirty work, an we air told that;
"the laborer is worthy of his hire.
As fur myself, I haint tuck much j
stock in politics since that time 1 ‘
got messed up in the sheriff's race
with Mr. Ed Dixon. Hit wuz several.!
years ago an I fcl* a lot more like |
runing than I do now, and weren't
so awkward and clumsy back then j
Election day was a closin in cn I
us. jist like hit is now: an me an!
Bill and sum other fellers, had us a f
little outfit down in the hollow party j
well hid from, mortal eyes, gittin!
ready tu celebrate when the propei ■
time cum.
By and by as time passed, Ed Dix
on. true tu his nature, cum up u
our section tu spy out the land and j
find out if hit wuz truly a land of |
com and wine, as had been report cl
tu him by the enemy. He come lu ]
our house and told Sal that he w.t*'
a sheriff an his name wuz Dixon.
Sal told him that she wuz glad tu
meat him an sire meant hit tu, bti
she tried tu deny that she wuz glad
'when I throwed hit up tu her ;atier
wards. Ed sot thar till dinner time
then he eat—hit wuz a two-coarse
dinner Sal served Unit day. The first
coarse wuz corn bred the second
coarse wuz peas, an all took noi 'ce
that Ed peered tu be powful hungry
Sal would pass the first coarse Hnc
Ed wood take a hunk, then > she'd
serve the second coarse an the sher
iff wood fill up his plate—an hi.
went oil an on.
I give Sal the wink tu keep him
thar and said if ;:e d excuse me I
would go tu whar me and sum or
the brethren had a meetin’ fur tu
raise fifty dollars worth of money
more, tu pay on the preachers sal
ary—that we wuz u meet off in the
woods tu raise tin money so that
our left hand wouldn't know what
our right hand wuz a doing. I slipped
down through the thicket tu warn
Bill an them other fellers tu git
away er hit wuz entirely tu late. Wo
grabbed the things and started tv
hide hit in the brush when in
comes Ed Uixcn shore as the world.
Sumhow they all got the start ot ir?
an wuz soon out of site; so she
sheriff's race wu- mainly jist be
twixt me and Dixi.n. Hit looked fur
a few minutes like •& tie between us
but I wuz scared 1 alf tu rieatn
which wuz in my favor. Soon ns we
started over Bens Knob hit wercr. ‘
but a little while till X seed I'd win
as that hi" dinner begin tu tell on
Dixon.
But I am through with politics, an
if you don't want a fuss don't
mention corn bred an peas, tu Ed

When Refused Drink,
Man Commits Suicide
Will. Bynum Mull Fires Bullet Inti*
Brain; Brought To Hospital,
Died Shortly.
Morgantun News Herald,
William Bynum Mull better known
[as "Sifter,'' ill and depressed, and
very probably suffering from tem
porary insanity, fired a bullet into
his brain late Monday afternoon
and died at Grace Hospital a few
hours later. The tragedy occurred at
the Mull home on the Laurel road,
about 3 miles from Morganton. Just
before using the pistol the young
man the was just 24 years of age
and unmarried) asked his mottiei
Mrs: Etta Mull, to give him u drink
She refused his request, and shortly
after leaving the room heard the ie=f
port of the pistol. One of the young
er children was the only witness 10 j
'die act Because of this evident. ' I
and the powder burns by the ham.
of the deceased a coroner's inquest
was deemed unnecessary.
It is thought that some troubt'
several years ago with a klnsma 1
had preyed on the mind of u
young man until he had becorr.j
mentally unbalanced.
