SMITH ATTACK IN 1928 TO BE PRIMARY ISSUE North Carolina Democrats Assail Senator for Bolting Party. BY ROBERT TALLEY N'EA Rervire Writer RALEIGH. N. C.. March 18.—* U I would rather be dead. I would rather lose my right arm. I would rather have my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth than to vote for A1 Smith!” This impassioned utterance against his party's presidential candidate by Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, for thirty years the Democratic czar of North Carolina —made at *he climax of a fiery three-hour speech at a Raleigh mass meeting on Oct. 25, 1928—has been revived today as the issue in the state's hottest senatorial campaign in a generation. Senator Simmons, now 76 and a candidate for a sixth senate term of six years, faces the issue of party regularity. Opposed to him in the Democratic primary to be held June 7 Is Josiah W. Bailey, 57, Raleigh lawyer and "regular Democrat,” who led the fight for A1 Smith in North Carolina. Supported Hoover When Simmons bolted the Democratic party to support Hoover he carried out with him, as well as can be estimated. 60,000 votes—this being the difference between the Smith vote and that of O. Max Gardner, successful Democratic candidate for Governor. Hoover got 348,923 and Smith 286,227. The state went Republican for President for the first time since Grant's election in 1876. The Democrats lost two congressmen, eight members of the state senate, fifteen members of the house and great numbers of county offices. Even Rowan county, home of Senator Lee S. Overman, went overwhelmingly Republican. Governor Gardner, however, survived. This Democratic disaster now is being charged to Senator Simmons. And Bailey, who prides himself on his lifelong Democratic regularity, is waging his campaign on those lines. The Hoover-Smith battle of 1928 is being fought all over again. Led Vigorous Fight Although he led the North Carolina fight for Smith, stumping every county in the state, Bailey never has seen Smith in his life, nor had any correspondence with him except once, when he asked him to autograph a book for an old lady. So he told this writer here. Bailey is the son of a Baptist minister; for seventeen years he was editor of a Baptist church paper; he has filled Protestant pulpits on many occasions, and was head of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon League from 1903 until 1907. As such he led a vigorous fight against liquor in numerous local option campaigns, and when state prohibition arrived in North Carolina in 1908 liquor had been voted out of all the rural districts and all but twentv-one cities. Why. then, did he support A1 Smith? With many southern Democrats, Bailey included, party regularity has been a sacred—and almost instinctive—tradition since the car-pet-bag days, marked by Negro political power under Republican rule, just after the Civil war. Succeeded Butler In his speeches, this prohibitionist defended Smith like thi*: Prohibition Is the established law of the land. Smith couldn't change the Constitution if he wanted to, moreover Smith has solemnly pledged himself to enforce prohibition, ‘‘and I had rather trust him with enforcement than Mellon, an ex-distiller, or Hoover.” In 1900 Simmons was elected to thte senate to succeed Butler, the Populist. Today he is the oldest senator in point of service and, if elected for his sixth term of six years, will be 83 years old when it expires. He contends that it w& A1 Smith who bolted the Democratic party—not he. Just now it appears it will be a neck and neck race until the primary polls close on June 7 with a result that will be equivalent to election in November. SUIT DISMISSAL SOUGHT Master in Chancery Files Motion With Judge Robert C. BaltzelL Recommendations that the suit filed in federal court by Julius and Herbert M. Davidson against Eugene C. Pulliam and Raymond A. Thomas be dismissed for want of equity is made in a motion filed with Judge Robert C. Baltzell by Fred C. Gause, master in chancery. The suit, filed early last year, involves the sale of a controlling interest in the Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal to the Davidsons, who are said to have paid $62,000 of the $112,000 purchase price. The remainder of the indebtedness in notes is being held by the court, pending adjudication.

MOONEY PAROLE DELAY SCORED Lewis Compares Case With Soviet Persecution. Bp Scrippg-llaward \ewspnprr Alliance SAN FRANCISCO. March 18. "How can we criticise the Soviet for persecution of religious leaders so long as Tom Mooney and Warren Billings remain in prison as political prisoners?” So asks Sinclair Lewis, here to study the famous “perjury scandal.” Lewis visited Tom Mooney in San Quentin, trusty convict for fourteen years on perjured testimony in connection with the Preparedness day murder in 1916. He found him aged but robust, stubbornly refusing parole, fighting for pardon and vindication. “Mooney is not a Communist, and from what I could learn after an hour with him, not even a Socialist,” said Lewis. “But his being

An Ailing CHILD

Are you prepared to render first aid and quick comfort the moment your youngster has an upset of any sort? Could you do the right thing—immediately—though the emergency came without warning—perhaps tonight? Castoria is a mother's standby at such times. There is nothing like it in emergencies, and nothing better for everyday use. For a sudden attack of colic, or the gentle relief of constipation; to allay a feverish condition, or to soothe a fretful baby that can't sleep. This pure vegetable preparation is always ready to ease an ailing youngster. It is just as

Baby Scratched Face Almost Constantly. Healed by Guticura. “The trouble began on my baby’s face when he was about six months old. I thought it was only a baby rash but it became worse. His skin was very sore and dry, almost to the point of breaking. The breaking out was very red and itched and burned so that he scratched his face almost constantly “Friends suggested that we try Cuticura Soap and Ointment 1 purchased some and after using one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment he was completely healed ” (Signed) Mrs E.

there is the best possible Communist propaganda, excellent fuel for the spread of red doctrine. “The Mooney-Billings case is doing California little good. To keep them in prison long after the principal witnesses against them have been proved perjurers and virtually every one connected with it has asked for pardon certainly is a black eye for this state. One hears more of this scandal in the east than out there. Why Governor Young doesn’t act is a mystery too deep for me.” HITS CITIES’ POLITICS Dr. Crane Fires Blast at Municipal Government in U. S. “Generally speaking, municipal government in our American cities has fallen to the level of common scandal.” This declaration was made Monday night by. Dr. James A. Crane, secretary of the board of temperance of the Disciples of Christ churches, in a pre-Easter meeting of the Marion County Christian Sunday School Association in the Third Christian church.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘ARTIST, NOT AN ANGEL, 1 FACES QUIZ IN KILLING Love of Indian Woman for Him Alleged to Have Caused Wife’s Death. Bu United Frees BUFFALO, March 18. Henry Marchand, brilliant French scuiptor who admits he is ‘an artist —not an angel”—sat nervously in the county jail today awaiting trial of Lila Jimerson, 35-year-old Seneca Indian woman, charged with having conspired to bring death to Marchand’s wife, Clothilde. Marchand, whose relationship to the Indian, whom he had used as a model for a series of waxwork statuettes representing ancient Indian life, will form part of the pertinent testimony at the trial, is held as a material witness. His arrest followed disclosure of letters he had written to the model. The state will claim Miss Jimerson had fallen deeply in love with the master artist, and by preying upon the superstitions of Mrs. Nancy Bowen, aged Cayuga squaw, persuaded the older woman to kill Mrs. Marchand. The trial will reveal a strange tale of lingering Indian witchcraft in a “modern community.” Miss Jimerson is represented as having persuaded Mrs. Bowen that Marchand's wife possessed black magic, and that she had cast a spell over Mrs. Bowen’s husband, the late “Sassafras Charlie” Bowen, who died a year ago. HUGE SUM TO FIGHT FIRE CONTEMPLATED California Solon’s Bill Embodies Hundred Million Program. B\j Scripps-lioward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 18.—A hundred million dollar forest fire prevention program probably will be laid before the house this week by its committee on agriculture. Such a program, recommended by President Hoover in his budget message to congress, is embodied in a bill by Representative Englebright of California. The budget bureau and the secretary of agriculture have indorsed the bill. At present the federal government is spending three million dollars a year to put out forest fires, and approximately a million dollars for fire prevention work. Englebright proposed to reverse this ratio. His bill calls for expenditure of $4,500,000 a year for the next three years and four million dollars a year thereafter. His program would be complete in twenty-one years. LEAGUE HEARS ADDRESS Kokomo Man Speaks at Session of Progressive Democrats.

Furnace coils left overs from an era that has passed Kerosene lamps, wood-burning cook stoves and corrugated washboards are the crude implements of an age that has passed. And still there are homes where the hot water supply comes from a rusty furnace coil: Sometimes the faucet brings water scalding hot—other times, merely lukewarm—yet this crude pipe continually squanders 400 lbs. out of every ton of fuel that goes through the furnace door. Why not junk the old coil? You can have instant hot water —always at the proper temperature—day or night at the turn of the tap. A thrifty Self-Action Gas Water Heater will provide a never-failing supply for bathing, shaving, the dishes and the laundry. And the cost is surprisingly small—a few pennies a day!

PROPOSED AIR RULESSTUDIED Midwest States to Act on Parley Suggestions. Bu United Pregg MILWAUKEE, March 18.—States of the' midwest will consider recommendations soon for uniformity in aviation legislation and means of promoting the industry as drafted at the legislative air parley of midwest states held here last month. A permanent committee, the midwest state aeronautical council, to secure the realization of the aims considered at the parley also was recommended and will be accepted or rejected by the states whose representatives took part in the conference here, Wisconsin is sponsoring the air parley and largely directing its policies, has been acknowledged the leader in the movement and it was decided that the appointee of Governor Kohler to the permanent aeronautical council will act as chairman of that group. Each state will have one vote, but may have as many representatives as the Governor shall designate for appointment. The newest factor in aerial legislation proposed at the conference and due for consideration by the states is the suggestion that income derived from any aviation taxation should be expended solely for encouragement of aviation and its attendant recommedation that a tax on airplane gasoline would be the most equitable form of taxation.

LONE GORILLA BARE ANIMAL IF NOT MYTH Only One Solitary Nest Is Discovered in Weeks of Exploration. Bu Science Service WASHINGTON, March 18.—The "solitary old gorilla.” ferocious and dangerous, that figured largely in the accounts of early travelers and hunters in Africa, is a very rare creature, if not actually a myth. In many weeks of exploration in the Kivu gorilla country’ in the central African uplands, Dr. Harold C. Bingham of Yale university and the Carnegie institution of Washington, found only one solitary gorilla nest, and that was at the upper limit of the range, at 14.000 feet elevation. All the other sleeping places of these giant apes w : ere in groups. In reporting the results of the joint expedition of Yale and the Carnegie institution, Dr. Bingham emphasized that he and his party did not go to Africa to “prove” anything about gorillas, nor with the expectation of finding something sensational and new. The objective simply was to make as close and accurate observations on the instincts and habits of the animals as field conditions would permit, the data thus obtained to be correlated with the results of laboratory studies on apes already accomplished and yet to be undertaken. The discovery about the rarity of “solitary” gorillas, if they exist at all, was a further confirmation of the known social habits of the animals. Additional stress also was laid on the essential shyness of gorillas. So long as they are not molested they w'ill not offer fight. Asa matter of fact, they are so difficult to approach that it was only with the greatest effort, using
