OPENING SESSION
OE G. 0. P. BRIEF:
KEYNOTER HEARD
(Confinupd from Face 1)_
delegates did not begin arriving un
til the clock moved toward eleven,
the hour of meeting.
Fifteen minutes before the time
set for the convention to come to
order the hall was filling rapidly.
The band, located up at one corner
of the stage behind the seats reserv
ed for the national committee, blared
out an air now and then which
mixed with the hum of arriving dele
gates and visitors. There were some
great empty spaces in the banks of
seats in the enormous galleries.
Great Pipe Organ Heard
When the. band rested the great
hundred thousand dollar pipe organ,
with its ten thousand pipes, burst
out in melody and filled the great
hall with the resonance of the
chords of a stirring air suggesting
assembly.
There was a colorful accompani
ment to, the organ music as the
lightning apparatus was turned on
and the hall was flooded with va
rious shades of lights. At times
i it was a dark purple light that flood
| ed the great assembly and then
"Changed to a burst of light resem
bling the rising of the sun.
Temporary Chairman Burton visit
ed the platform and conferred brief
ly with Chairman Adams, of the na
tional committee. Other dignitaries,
some of them old and some of them
new, reached their places. Great
oil paintings of Lincoln, Harding
and Roosevelt draped with Ameri
can flags were revealed about the
center of the stage backed on the
folds of an enormous flag.
After one of the selections from
the organ loft, Col. Thayer, ser
geant at arms, ordered the aisles
cleared and the band got ready for
a. parade around the hall to amuse
and entertain the waiting delegates.
It was apparent that, as usual, on
the first day, there was to be a little
delay in getting started and that the
convention would not come to order
promptly at 11 o’clock as was called
for by the program.
Secretary Mellon came in and took
his seat with the Pennsylvania dele
gation, with which he is a delegate
at large. Secretary Weeks sat as
usual with the Massachusetts dele
gation and Chairman Warren, of
the resolutions committee, sat with
* his colleagues from Michigan.
There was as usual a lot of hand
shaking among the politicians who
meet every four years at the con
vention and talk over old times. No
body seemed to be in any hurry to
get started.
The Wisconsin delegates, 29 in all,
with one vote for Coolidge and 28
•for Senator LaFollette, arrived to
gether. It had been settled finally
that the senator would not be placed
in nomination but that 28 delegates
would vote for him from the floor.
Vermont in Honor Place
The Vermont delegation had the
place of honor on the floor immedi
ately in front of the speaker’s stand.
There was a good deal of vice
presidential booming going on on
the floor while the delegates were
assembling.
Chairman Adams broke in on the
disorder and called the convention
to order promptly at 11 o’clock.
John Phillip Sousa, from a place on
the speaker’s stand, led the band
which took its place on the floor
and played the Star-Spangled Ban
ner instead of parading about. Whild
the band was playing a great
American flag was dropped in front
of the delegates.
The band swung into the "Stars
and Stripes Forever.”
The delegate sections meanwhile
had filled up, but there still were
a good many empty seats in the
galleries.
At the conclusion of the march,
Bishop Anderson offered prayer.
■A-t the_ conclusion of the prayer
the convention remained standing
and sang two stanzas of “America.”
then the official photograph of
the convention was taken.
The cameras were placed in the
rear of the hall. The photographer
had the job of Inducing a couple of
thousand delegates and alternates
to turn around in their chairs. There
was a good deal of painful craning
of necks but after repeated admon
itions to be quiet the flashlight bomb
went off and the picture was taken.
It was a smokeless one. however.
After that the nand got in again
the convention managers took
V e opportunity to do a little more
inferring. William M. Butler, the
new political general, took a place
at the platform rail and calmly and
carefully looked over the assemblage
He had the air of a general looking
over his troops. The band played
Auld Lang Syne and the old timers
looked as if they appreciated it.
Secretary Lockwood, of the na
tional committee, got th e first ap
plause of the convention when he
stepped forward to read the official
call for the convention. While he
was reading, the motion picture men
got into action and the platform was
flooded with bright light.
During the reading, former Gov
ernor Groesbeck, of Michigan, sent
word to Chairman Adams that he did
not wish to serve on the platform
committee and asked that A. T.
Roberts be placed them '—
Chairman Ada..-n speaks
Chairman Adams then addressed
th? convention, saying:
"This is the eighteenth Republic
an national convention.
"It. is only sixty years since
Lincoln was president. Tn that brief
period our country has enjoyed the
greatest moral and material advance
ment in all history.
"This has been brought about
largely under Republican rule. And
at no time have the problems of
government been more wisely and
effectively met than during the last
three years.
"Our party has always stood for
constructive progress. It has al
ways endeavored to promote the
welfare of the average man. It has
always adhered to America’s best
traditions, both in domestic and
foreign affairs.
"Today, Europe is torn by class
cleavage and hatred which threatens
every social order. America, alone,
in the great family of nations, is

united and stable, prosperous and
free, and at peace with all the world.
“We are here, now, to pledge anew
our faith in American institutions
and to name the next president and
vice president of the United States.”
Chairman Adams made a pictur
esque figure with his shock of snow
white hair. The Pennsylvania dele
gates wheeled Albert Davis, a dele
gate from Wilksbarre, down to the
front of the hall so he could hear
Mr. Adams.
There was applause when the
chairman referred to Lincoln and
more applause when he referred to
the preservation of American insti
tutions.
Mr. Adams then proposed Repre
sentative Burton, ot Ohio, for tem
porary chairman, amid a burst of
applause led by the Ohio delegates
and visitors. He appointed Senator
Norbeck, of South Dakota; A. T.
Roberts, of Michigan, and Anne S.
Carlisle, of Indiana, to bring the
chairman to the platform; Senator
Norbeck was not in the hall and
the chairman of the South Dakota
delegation acted in his place.
Vote Nearly Forgotten
In the hurry of getting it over
with Chairman Adams forgot to
put a vote to the convention on the
selection of Mr. Burton until after
he had appointed the committee to
escort him to the chair. Smiling
ly, Mr. Adams returned to the front
of the platform and put the vote,
which was carried with a rolling
chorus of ayes and much laughter
at the chairman’s oversight of one
of the. technicalities of procedure.
Chairman Burton moved about a
bit during his delivery and at some
times got away from the microphone
which was carrying out by radio to
many millions of listeners the pro
ceedings of the convention. If any
one missed some of the speech it
was Burton, not static.
There was applause when the
chairman referred to the participa
tion of the women in the convention
but it seemed to come especially
from the women.
As Mr. Burton proceeded, alter
nately reading from his manuscript
and speaking extemporaneously, at
a rata which indicated that it would
take him probably an hour and a
half or a little less, applause punc
tuated his remarks. There was one
burst when the chairman said it was
to be regretted that the president
was to be given time to take up the
matter of Japanese exclusion by dip
lomatic negotiation before the ex
clusion act was passed.
The first prolonged cheering and
applause came when the chairman
declared “the Republican party
stands now as always for law en
forcement.”
The statement plainly was con
strued by the convention as refer
ring to the enforcement of the pro
hibition laws.
Another burst of applause follow
ed the chairman's reference to an
anti-lynching law.
Refers to Shoals Bid
Mr. Burton drew more applause
in his remarks concerning conserva
tion of national resources. He did
not mention Muscle Shoals or Henry
Ford by name, but he said, "no
nundred-year franchise should be
given.” The delegates got the point
and applauded.
There was more prolonged ap
plause and cheering when the chair
man, referring to the recent con
gressional investigations at Wash
ington, condemned in strong terms
character assassins, rumor-mongers
and the like. Guilt, he said, should
be punished, and that it was impor
tant that the innocent should be
protected. He disclaimed any re
flection on any investigator seeking
to expose crime dereliction in good
faith. His declaration that the Re
publican party stood firm “as a
rock” for punishment of the guilty
regardless of party, brought more
applause.
There were more cheers for the
chairman's declaration for party
solidarity, and his call for a Repub
lican congress “made up of members
tried and true, who will stand unit
ed.” That brought out the first
real demonstration of the session.
Delegates rose to their feet cheer
ing and waving their hats and.
handkerchiefs.
Many of them turned to the Wis
consin. delegation where the La Fol
lette delegates remained silent with
out taking part in the demonstra
tion. There were cries of "stand
up, Wisconsin,” and one delegate
stood up. The demonstration sub
sided and Mr. Burton went ahead
with his speech.
The first mention of President
Coolidge's name brought out a new
demonstration which approached the
fervor of the previous one. Speaker
Gillett, of Massachusetts, sprang to
his feet and Senator Lodge rose be
side him.
Coolidge Demonstration
The demonstration subsided in a
moment but was renewed when the
chairman declared “the neople have
coe.iidence ia Calvin Coolidge” and
his fun her statement that “others
miry have lost their nerve; Calvin
Coolidge has not lost his.”
When the chairman speaking of
the League of Nations, declared "it
is not for us,” there was another out
burst ot applause, and more applause
when he said he judged the senti
ment of the American people was
against cancellation of the foreign
debts.
Reviewing the reparations tangle
and efforts to settle it, the chairman
mentioned twice the name of Charles
G. Dawes, and paused once to give
the Dawes boomers a. chance to dem
onstrate a little for their vice presi
dential candidate. Either the Dawes
men missed the point, or they were .
not ready, because the name of I
Dawes passed over without applause
or demonstration.
Chairman Burton finished just aft- .
er 1 o’clock, having spoken an hour
and a half, and the convention re
sponded with a demonstration ot ap
plause and prolonged cheers to his
prediction of party victory in No
vember.
The applause over. Chairman Bur
ton took up the further business oi
perfecting the temporary organiza
tion. Chairman Adams, of the na
tional committee, introduced Secre
tary “Lase” Gleason, of New York,
who presented the roll of temporary
officers for the convention. They
were approved.
The organization proceedings then
were interrupted for a moment while
a gavel was presented, made of oak
from one of the great trees where
the first Republican convention was
held. Another gavel was presented
made from a part of one of the
locks on the Ohio canal where Gar
field worked once as a canal boy.
Mellon Wins Applause
After disposing of some more or
ganization proceedings, the chair
man recognized Secretary Mellon,
who got as great a demonstration as
had been given. Secretary Mellon
was escorted to the platform amid
prolonged cheers.
Secretary Mellon spoke in such a
low voice that Chairman Burton re
peated his words, which were to
offer a resolution creating the plat
' form committee.
A professional reading clerk read
1 Mr. Mellon’s resolution and nobody
; had any difficulty in hearing him.
I The resolution was adopted without
dissent.
The reading clerk then read the
names of those elected to the plat
form committee and in doing so
called the names of some of the vice
presidential candidates.
Each of them got a round of ap
plause
The reading of the names of oth
er committees was dispensed with.
It was announced that all commit
tee meetings would be he’d in the
MAJ.JOHNS. COHEN
IS AWARDED DEGREE
BYMMN-LEE
LEXINGTON, Va., June 10. —Com-
mencement exercises at Washington
and Lee university today were mark
ed by the awarding of an honorary
LL. D. degree to Major John S.
Cohen, president and editor of The
Atlanta Journal, who has taken a
promnient part in the movement to
re-establish the Robert E. Lee Me
morial School of Journalism as a
part of the institution.
Major Cohen was notified several
weeks ago of the action of the board
of trustees in conferring the degree
upon him and appeared in person to
day to receive it. The university
has a custom which prohibits the
conferring of degrees unless those
to whom they are awarded appear
in person to receive them.
General Lee established the first
school 6t journalism in America
when he came to Washington col
lege shortly after the close of the
Civil war, but eight years after his
death the poverty of the institution
resulted in its discontinuance, ac
cording to officials.
At the suggestion of Dr. Henry
Louis Smith, president of Washing
ton and Lee, the Southern Newspa
per Publishers’ association in 1921
assumed management of a campaign
to re-establish the school of jour
nalism.
Is Named Chairman
Major Cohen was appointed chair
man of the committee to direct the
enterprise. In 1923, he reported to
the association that $38,000 had been
subscribed by the editors toward the
$50,000 expected from them before
any public appeal should be made.
Dr. Smith, upon the invitation of
the association, delivered an address,
at the conclusion of which $15,000
additional was pledged by the edi
tors.
During the past winter a number
of cities have been canvassed and
the total subscription now reaches
$75,000, said Dr. Smith.
Major Cohen was born in 1870, at
Augusta, Ga., the son of Phillip
Lawrence Cohen, who entered the
army at sixteen years of age and
surrendered with Lee at Appomat
tic. Major Cohen is a grandson of
Major General Ambrose Ransom
Wright, a distinguished Confederate
commander, lieutenant governor of
Georgia and a member of congress.
The Atlanta editor received his
first newspaper training on the Au
gusta Chronicle and at the age of
nineteen became a reporter on the
New York World.
In 1890, he became identified with
the newspaper of which he is now
president and editor. On the day the
Spanish-American war was declared,
Major Cohen sailed with the Ameri
can fleet, under Admiral Bob Evans.
He witnessed the first capture of
enemy ships, wrote many news
stories and on the call for volun
teers returned to Georgia, where he
was commissioned first lieutenant
in the Third Georgia Volunteer In
fantry. He was promoted to the
rank of major and served in the
army of occupation in Cuba at the
conclusion of the war.
Serves in Washington
During the second administration
of President Cleveland, Major Cohen
served as Washington correspondent
of The Journal and secretary to the
secretary of the interior. He took a
leading part in the establishment of
the national highway and also was
influential in establishing an an
nual opera season in Atlanta. Ma
jor Cohen, through his newspapers,
has taken an active interest in the
development of Emory university.
Oglethorpe university, Georgia Tech
and other educational institutions of
the south. He recently was elected
Democratic national, committeeman
for Georgia.
Tn speaking of the memorial
school of journalism, officials of the
institution said that “sucA an enter
prise . . . will accomplish a.
three-fold purpose. It will raise a
more fitting monument than any
pile of lifeless marble, . however
splendid and costly, to the memory
of General Lee; it will furnish to fu
ture generations a much needed and
most fruitful nursery of patriotic
leadership; and it will tend to up
lift and inspire the present south
b.y bringing* this power and busier
generation into close contact for a
while with the ideal virtues of the
old south as embodied in the match
less character of Robert Edward
Lee, who, fifty years ago, sacrificed
his mortal life that his lifework
might thus become immortal.”

city hall across the street from the
convention hall.
The platform committee was called
to meet in the city council cham
ber immediately after adjournment
of the convention to begin public
! hearings on platform suggestions.
Addison G Proctor, of St. Joseph.
Mich., eighty-six years old. was in
vited to the platform by the chair
man. Mr. Proctor, the chairman
told the convention, was the last
survivor of the 466 delegates in the
convention that nominated Lincoln.
Mr. Proctor was invited to make
a speech and soon got to reminiscing
about Lincoln at such length that
the clerk had to remind him that he
i was under a five minute limit.
Singers Left Deserted
The members of the Union League
club, of Youngstown, Ohio. then
lined up in front of the speaker’s
platform to sing.
The delegates and many of the
audience seemed to think they had
heard and seen enough for one day
and began moving out. Very soon
there were a great many empty seats
all over the hall. From the conven
tion platform the managers urged
the singers to start up before they
: were without an audience. The sing-
I ers finally got tuned up and started
a song.
REPOBLICAN PARTY
IS URGED TO RALLY
■ffll
CLEVELAND, 0., June 10.-—(By
the Associated Press.) —The Repub
lican party was called upon today
by Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, the
temporary chairman of its natiohal
convention, to rally about the lead
ership of Calvin Coolidge.
“The people, and all the people,
have confidence in Calvin Coolidge,”
Representative Burton declared in
sounding the keynote of the conven
tion. “In the great array of rulers,
kings and prime ministers, intrusted
with power, there is none who can
surpass him in honesty of purpose,
in courage, or in high devotion to
the welfare of his country.”
Mr. Burton asserted that “by far
the greater share of our citizenship
looks to President Coolidge rather
than to congress for leadership,” and
he urged the party to take its stand
with Mr. Coolidge on all of the con
troversal issues which have arisen
between the executive and some
members of the Republican majority
in congress.
He proclaimed that the party de
clare for American adherence to the
world court with meraly the Har
ding-Hughes reservations. He re
gretted that congress refused to ac
cede to Mr. Coolidge’s wishes in en
acting the Japanese exclusion pro
vision of the immigration bill. He
declared the new tax law abounded
in defects and should not be taken
as the last word in tax revision. He
'dismissed enactment of the benus
bill over the president’s veto with
the assertion that “conditions creat
ed by it must be met and its pro
visions must be willingly accepted.”
Much of the blame Visited upon
Republicans in the session of con
gress just ended, he told the con
vention, however, “is not deserved
because on many major questions
their party has not commanded a
majority in either branch.”
Enumerates Achievements
Enumerating the achievements of
the Republican party in its stew
ardship of national affairs in the
past four years, he paid high tribute
to the memory of President Har
ding, told of the accomplishments
under his leadership, and pronounc
ed this benediction:
“Rest, wearied spirit, rest in
peace, secure in the lasting remem
brance which belongs to the im
mortals.”
Varied and numerous were the c
complishments cited by Mr. Bur
ton, ranging from the achievements
of the arms conference and Ameri
can unofficial participation in the
work of the reparations experts
committee, through the field of do
mestic activities resulting from leg
islation and executive undertakings.
He pronounced it a record on
which the partv proudly could take
its stand, "confident that when the
ballots are cast in November in
numbers like the falling leaves of
autumn this nation will elect Calvin
Coolidge with a Reptfblican congress
and again crown our efforts with
victory, thereby assuring a yet more
splendid future of progress ai.d
peace.”
Turning to the future, the conven
tion chairman declared economy in
public expenditures and reduction of
taxes to be of the utmost impor
tance and that “an active campaign
of education must be conducted sim
ilar to that in the free-silver con
test of 1896.” Such a campaign, he
added, should endeavor to dispel the
“persistent fallacies” that the final
burden of public levies rests upon
those who first make payments to
the tax collector and that excessive
surtaxes are desirable and result in
greater revenue.
Pointing the way in domestic af
fairs still further, he inveighed
against any tinkering with the fed
eral reserve system; advocated an
intelligent policy of conservation
with “no hundred-year franchises”
nor any grant of resources needed
by the nation for its future protec
tion; declared for sane regulation,
rather than ""ivernment control of
public utilities, and expressed the
hope that there be left to the in
dividual the greatest possible equali
ty of opportunit” and to the states
the broadest field of activity in
their proper sphere.
Declares Against League
Declaring “our foreign relations
are t -.suming an importance never
known before.” Mr. Burton declared
members of the Republican party
were "by no means lacking in in
terest in what is happening in the
rest of the world nor are we un
willing io co-operate in the most
friendly way with less fortunate na
tions."
“We have refused to join the
League of Nations, and this is in
full accord with the wishes of the
vast majority of the American peo
ple. as I believe.” he added. "So
long as the league remains a. politi
cal body, inevitably dominated by
the larger nations of Europe, poison
ed -with the tradition of age-long
animosities, membership is not for
us.”
No fear should be felt, however,
that, entrance in the world court
with the Harding-Hughes reserva
tions would involve the United
States in the league, he said. He
did not refer to the amendments
proposed by the Republican majority
in the senate foreign relations com
mitter. hut asserted that the Flar
ding-Hughes proposals were “suffi
cient safeguards and reservations to
protect our own interests and they
do not affect the gfeat purposes of
the court.”
Illustrative of the willingness of
the Unted States to aid and associate
with other nations, the chairman
declared that America stood ready to
take the lead in another arms limita
tion conference whenever the oc
casion appeared suitable and that, in
the European reparations tangle,
“whenever the various nations can
agree, whenever they are wdlling to
look to the future rather than to
the past, America’s aid will be given
without stint, and our boundless re
! sources will be available in the way
of loans for their rehabilitation and
development.”
Touches on Third Party
Taking notice of indications of a
third party movement, Mr. Burton
said a tendency in that direction was
manifest wherever p>arliamentary
government existed. The effect, he
added, is “inevitably demoralizing,
involving failure in constructive poli
cies and oftentmes control by a
minority qr combination of minor
ities.” Orderly and effective parlia
mentary government demands that
the people divide into two parties on
outstanding questions, he asserted,
adding that “the strength and use
fulness of the Republican party
must depend on the maintenance of
enduring principles in the advocacy
of which triumph can only be se
cured by party solidarity and an
organization whose members unite
in closed formation and do battle '.o
every foe.”
Turning to the recent congres
sional investigation, Mr. Burton sold
he “must enter a solemn protest
against the impression that there is
widespread corruption in the gov
ernment at Washington,” although
. “there have been exposed to the
I scorn of the country instances of

bribery and dishonesty on the part
of public officials, and of cupidity
and overreaching on the part of
those who are ready to use their
opportunity to debauch those in of
fice." •
“The vast majority of public of
ficials, from the highest in the land
to the humblest clerk in any depart
ment, are working honestly and
faithfully for the public good,” he
added. “It is time to call a halt
upon indiscriminate scandalmonger
ing, which is largely designed to in
sult the Intelligence and undermine
the patriotism of the American peo
ple.”
The chairman declared the Repub
lican party stood “now, as always,
for law enforcement” and against
“hasty changes in existing laws and
regulations.”
Aid for Fanners
He pointed to a long list of legis
lative and executve acts designed to
aid the farmers. He told of the im
provement in employment and the
benefit resulting to labor, of the suc
cess that attended the efforts of
President Harding to obtai. aban
donment of the twelve-hour day in
the steel industry and of the re
strictions placed upon immigration,
declaring that “limitation and selec
tion must be the order of the day.”
Establishment of peace with Ger
many and the other former enemy
powers also was listed as a Repub
lican accomplishment together with
establishment of a budget system,
reduction of taxes, enactment of a
tariff law “based upon the funda
mental idea that our labor and enter
prise should not be handicapped by
differences between foreign and
domestic costs; passage of the act for
the funding of foreign debts and
the funding of the British and other

debt, and readjustment of freight ;
rates. I
“The past at least is secure,” he
concluded. “In the future there is
no lamp to guide so safe as that of
experience and history, and the peo
ple will surely repose their trust in
those principles and in that party I
organization which Las played so
pre-eminent a part in the upbuilding
of th® nation and in the prosperity
and happiness of all its citizens.” i

ANGUS W. M'LEAN
LEADINUN. CAROLINA
RACE FOR GOVERNOR]
RALEIGH, N. C., June 9.—(By the
Associated Press.) —Angus W. Mc-
Lean, of Lumberton, former chair
man oj the War Finance corpora
tion and former assistant secretary
of the treasury, was leading Josiah
W. Bailey, of Raleigh,, former col
lector of internal revenue, by more
than 51,000 votes early today for the
Democratic nomination for gover
nor of North Carolina. Belated re
turns from isolated precincts which
trickled in late last night and early
today increased Mr. McLean’s lead
and with 79 counties reporting, Mr.
Bailey was leading in only 16.
The vote early today with 1,018
precincts reported out of 1,719 stood
as follows:
McLean, 107,423; Bailey, 56,183.
In the three-cornered race for
lieutenant governor, it appeared to
day that a second primary would be
necessary as no one of the three
candidates had a majority of the
partial returns.
J. Elmer Long, of Durham, was
leading with 33,135 votes after 592
precincts had reported, while Robert
S. Reynolds, of Asheville, had 28,-
050 and T. C. Bowie 25,691. In the
event that Long and Reynolds re
main for the second primary, it
probably will not be held as these
two previously had agreed that the
one with the lesser number of votes
would withdraw in favor of the
other.
Agriculture Race Close
A second primary, It also ap
peared, would be necessary in the
commissioner of agriculture race
though William A. Graham, the in
cumbent, with 37,129 votes lacked
only six thousand votes of a ma
jority of the reported returns, these
being from 587 precincts. Fred P.
Latham, had 29,872 votes and T. B.
Parker 12,872.
In the attorney general race 580
precincts gave Dennis G. Brummitt
30,138 votes, Charles Ross 28,188, and
Frank Nash 21,080, with a second
primary needed, if the later returns
carry out this ratio.
Insurance commissioner, Stacey
W. Wade, incumbent, offering for
re-election, had an overwhelming
lead over his opponent, J. F. Flow
ers, of Charlotte, the vote of 516
precincts giving Mr. Wade 57,462
while Mr. Flowers had 15,174.
For state auditor, Baxter Durham,
Incumbent, was leading J. P. Cook
by approximately 10,000 votes when
519 precincts had reported. The vote
stood: Durham, 46,086; Cook, 36,164.
Fell Leads Opponents
Corporation Commissioner George
P. Pell, standing for re-election, had
a commanding lead of nearly 14,000
votes from the first 519 precincts,
the vote standing: Pell, 42,355; O. B.
Carpenter, 28,785.
A second primary, it appeared,
would be necessary to elect a com
missioner of labor and printing.
With 540 precincts reported, the in
cumbent, M. L. Shipman, was lead
ing with 3.1,810 votes, while Frank
D. Grist had 28,068; O. J. Peterson,
9,372, and L. M. Nash, 2,448.
A number of the precincts through
out the state, according to reports
received here, closed late Saturday
night without completing the tabula
tion of returns because of the length
of the tickets Where local offices
were contested. This resulted in a
delay until today of obtaining a por
tion of the returns.
The votes were to be canvassed to
day at midday at the county seats
throughout the state and certified to
the state board of elections.
The two members of the North
Carolina delegation to the house of
representatives in Washington who
faced opposition apparently have
been nominated by large majorities.
In the third contest for the Demo
cratic nomination for congress, Lind
sey C. Warren apparently had been
nominated as the Democratic can
didate to succeed congressman H. S.
Ward, who refused to stand for re
nominations in the First district.

UNIFICATION CRITICS
ARE TAKEN TO TASK
BY JUDGE CANDLER
Opposition to the unification of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
and the Methodist Episcopal church.
•—the measure to occupy the.,atten
tion ot a called ..session of gen
eral conference of the southern body
July 7 in Chattanooga—was criti
cized Monday before the Atlanta
Methodist Ministers’ association
meeting, in the Wesley* Memorial
church, by Judge John S. Candler,
prominent Southern Methodist lay
man and chairman of the commit
tee which drafted the plan.
Judge Candler characterized cur
rent objections to unification as “fly
specking,” and said the strongest
argument against unification was
that “there is not enough religion in
either church for one to trust the
other.” '
Judge Candler, taking an opposite
view on unification from that of his
brother, Bishop Warren A. Candler,
senior bishop of the Methodist Epis
copal church, south, in prefacing his
remarks said, “I don’t want any
body to believe there’s any ‘personal
difference’ between myself and any
body close to me.”
At the conclusion of Judge Can
dler’s talk, upon motion of Dr. JL». ''
J. Ballard, associate editor of the
W 'm Christian Advocate, a ris
in” vote of thanks was given the
speaker by the Methodist ministers
assembled for his review of and
comment on. the question of unifi
cation.
In discussing the legality of the
call: .1 sessiou of the conference.
Judge Candler said there no longer
existed any doubt that the meeting
would be in accordance with the
constitution of the church.
"Meetings to discuss this matter
have been called by two general con
ferences,” Candler said. "I
know this to be true for I drew the
orders myself. In 1918 and 1922,
the question was brought up. In
U. ” Bishop James G. Cannon, Jr.,
and myself fought it out right, here
in the Wesley Memorial church, and
the college of bishops did not ques
tion the legality of such a meeting.
Os course, lam not speaking of th«
inconsistency of anybody.”
Judge Candler, throughout his
talk, emphasized the statement that
“we are pledged to ‘unification
through reorganization.’ We are not
absolutely committed to this plan. If
you don’t like it, you can do as Bob
Toombs said; ‘Pour it back in the
jug.’ ”
In discussing the negro bishop
question—one which has been the
center of much discussion due to
the fact that there are 350,000
negroes in the northern church —
Judge Candler said it had been ren
dered impossible for one to serve a
southern conference in the document
drawn up by himself and his asso
ciates on the committee on confer
ence relations. There is a provision,
he said, that no bishop of one juris
diction can execute an episcopal act
outside his own jurisdiction without
a majority vote of acceptance from
the bishops of the other jurisdiction.
"Unification, under the present
plan,” Judge Candler said, “will ef
fect no noticeable change In the rou
tine of either conference. Unless
there had been so much talk about
it, nine-tenths of the people in the
two conferences never would have
known unification had been perfect
ed, under the present plan.
“Some offer the feeble objection
that the property ot the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, is being
jeopardized. Putting the question on
the lowest basis —that of business—
when it comes to funds for education
and other sources, we stand a chance
to get more out of the Methodist
Episcopal church than it does to get
anything out of us. There are 4,-
500,000 members of the northern t
church and about 2,500,000 in the
southern church, with financial re
sources In proportion. There is ab
solutely no‘’.ing to this objection.’’
