Socialists to Hold

Among the speakers will be Louis
Marquardt, of the Atlanta Federa

Carl Karston and others. A move
ment to help the starving children of
strikers in different sections of the

General William G. Obear, quarter
master general of State troops, whose
dismissal from his present office has
been vigorously recommended .by Ad
jutant General Joseph VanHolt Nash, J
will return to Atlanta Monday morn
ing for a further conference with the
Governor in regard to the controversy
and its settlement.
General Nash has stated unequivo
cally that he will not recognize Gen
eral Obear as quartermaster general
after January 1, and will decline ail
official intercourse with him beyond
that date, and as January 1 is on!/
three days removed from Monday
morning, it looks as if the trouh'e
inside the State Military Department
Is reaching a genuine and acute cli
max.
The Adjutant General, far from re
ceding from any position he has as
sumed, is apparently as detennir^ 1
as ever to force matters to a final and
complete conclusion between Obear
and himself.
His attitude generally is accepted to
mean that there is not room inside
the military establishment for both
Obear and himself, and that one or
the other must go.
The Governor feels keenly the
tenseness of the situation, and real
izes that it will be difficult of adjust
ment. If he sustains Nash, that elim
inates Obear from the service, and
if he sustains Obear, that eliminates
j Nash.
Obear Sees Governor.
General Obear already has had one
conference with the Governor, in
which he is said to have contended
tliat his position Is perfectly legal,
and that Nash’s contentions are not
sincere. He is understood to lay tho
entire hostility of Nash to personal
dislike and politics. He admits know
ing that Nash is opposed to him, and
says he has endeavored to be as dipl »-
matic as possible in conducting him
self for that reason.
Asked over long-distance phone
Saturday night whether he had any
thing to say, General Obear replied:
“The Governor is the commander-
in-chief of the State militia, and my
very superior officer. 1 shall not dis
cuss departmental matters outside of
his office, without his permission, and
1 ha yc not asked for that, as I do
not care to try my case in the news
papers.”
What Nash Thinks.
General Nash takes the position
that Obear’s removal is merely a
question of legal duty. He says the
office of quartermaster "moral Is not
recognized under the Dick Federal
law, and that to permit it to be oc
cupied by anybody merely - entails \
useless and unwarranted expense
$2,750 per annum upon the depart
ment.
Unless the Governor acts between
this date and Neyv Year’s Day, Nash
likely will promulgate an official or
der dismissing Obear and declaring
his office vacant, and then call up m
the Governor either to sign it with
him or refuse to do so.
Nash’s position seems to be that
Neyv Year’s Day must sec either
Nash or Obear out of the State’* mil
itary service.

National Catholic church. He ad

RALEIGH, Deo. 27.—Raleigh Re
publicans look with considerable com
placency upon the recently announced
program of reorganization.
Colonel Harry Skinner, until three
years ago District Attorney of the
Eastern District, has been here this
week, and by a leading Democrat is
quoted as saying that the sole hope
of the party in the South is the plan
adopted a few days ago. Colonel
Skinner’s view' is that the trading
power of the South has been too great.
Lester F. Butler, brother of former
Senator Marion Butler, declares that
the old organization in the South yvas
opposed to growth and that the new
plan will help. Ex-Senator Butler
says the present State organization
opposes reorganization because it de
poses present leaders and gives the
opportunity to "row.
.Such leaders as former Attorney
General Zeb Vance WaJser. ex-Con-
gressman Richmond Pearson. ex-Sec-
retary of State Cyrus W. Thompson.
Judge W. S. O’B. Robinson, leading
Republicans two years 'ago. declare
that they are no longer of the faith,
but they believe the plan now yvould
have saved the party from defeat last
year.
Chairman John Motley Morehea
Congressman from the Fifth North
Carolina four years ago. is strongly
in favor of the new plan, it is said
here, though Mr. Morehead is not in
the State and could not be Inter
viewed.
Colonel J. C. L. Harris. Roose.elt
leader of last year, declared yester
day that Republicans can not hope *o
restore the.men 'Cot iasi year, thougn
the reorganization plan should
strengthen the r.>arty n^xt year.
