DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-
TION.

Convention Quiet Outside OF Manning
Allen Fight-Evidence That New
"Combine" Has Arisen-Meaning-
less Platform.
The Democratic State Convention
was held in Charlotte last Thursday,
and outside Of the spirited fight be-
tween Justice Manning and Judge
Allen for the Associate Supreme
Court nomination, it lacked the fierce
fighting and disgraceful conduct that
has been the chief characteristic of
Democratic conventions in this State
during the present year.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Eller, who called Sena-
tor Overman to the chair as temper
airy presiding officer. The Senator
failed to live up to his previous re-
cord as an orator and his speech was
merely a re-hash of old congressional
argument regarding the tariff. While
the Senator charged the Republican
party with being responsible for the
high prices, he failed to give them
credit at the same time for the high
prices that farmers are receiving for
the products of the farms.
Walter E. Moore was then elected
permanent chairman, and he, also,
made a speech. Speech after speech
followed one another, placing the
various candidates in nomination.
The day was hot and the delegates,
many of whom had just attended
bitterly fought congressional and jul
dicial conventions were evidently
surfeited with speeches. Calls were
heard from the floor to 'cut it short"
and there was no doubt all wanted to
get down to bushes and have it over.
By reclamation, Chief Justice Walter
Clark was re-nominated, as was AS
sociate Justice Plat D. Walker.
Justice Manning was then placed
in nomination by Mr.. Bryant, of
Durham, and Judge Allen by Ex-Gov.
! Aycock. The balloting resulted in
Manning receiving 434 and frac-
ton; Allen getting 526, or majority
! of 90. Clay and Tyrrell Counties had
not taken the trouble to send even
a delegate, so there was fight over
their vote, neither candidate receiv-
ing either The result was not &C
complished without considerable
trading, which caused hard feeling,
notably in the case of Granville
! County, where the vote was evenly
divided, which will provoke another
row in the Fifth District COMPRESSION
al convention, as told in another
column.
For the four-year term of Corpor-
alton Commissioner, Henry c. Brown
of Wake, was then nominated. For
the six-year term, the fight was be-
tween Lee of Haywood County, Ora
ham Of Granville, and Pearson OF
Burke The first ballot in this case
resulted in the nomination Of Mr..

Says Vatican Wanted to Make Trouble

A semi-oflicial note. issued at
San Sebastian. characterizes as ut.
terly misleading the limitations pub.
lished recently in the Observatory
Romano In connection with the de.
mand OF the Vatican for the with.
drawal of the bill iterdicting the pres
ence OF Spain of religious organiza.
tions not now in the country until
such time as the law permitting non.
Catholic bodies to display insignia OF
worship is passed. This note says:
First. that the principle of requiring
government authorization for new re
ligious establishments in Spain has
existed In the country for centuries
and was categorically affirmed in the
royal decree OF 1880
Second. the intention TO introduce
the bill forhidding the presence OF re.
ligIous organizations was communi.
Gated May % to Cardinal Merry Del
Val. the papal secretary of state. who
at that time agreed thereto and who
has not since denied that he so did.
Third, the king. in his speech from
the throne announced that the bill
and the reply voted by the Cortes had
been approved: consequently, the Vat
lean has boon dealing with the Span
ish parliament us well as the govern
ment.
Fourth. Cardinal Merry Del Walls
demand for the withdrawal of this
bill was presented only few hours
before the cortes adjourned; II was
therefore, his design to humiliate the
civil power and provoke rupture
under the delusion that such rupture
would mean the fall of the govern
ment.
Fifth. the Liberal groups In Spain
are now more united than ever. while
the Vatican impasslvcly awaits the
reopcnlng of the Cortes.
In conclusion. this note says the
government now intends to rely on its
own resources. and that the measures
necessary to put an end TO the con
flict will be voted with enthusiasm.

refused. telling her that he considered
it duty as well as a privilege to re-

Herbert John Gladstone. his third

the prime minister. Educated at Elton.
young Gladstone carried off both there

dissatisfaction at Bushnell with the
racing dates assigned that city at the
recent meeting of the Mississippi Val
ley association, an entire rearrange-
ment of the summer schedule is ex-
pected. Bushnell threatens to with
dra wand hold an Independent meet
if the present chart is retained
In the assignment of dates Macomb
was given the first week in August
and Bushnell was put down for the
week following. Bushnell has had the
first week in August for Is years. The
change was voted at the circuit meet
ing in the belief that horsemen at
tending the races in the southern end
of the circuit would find 1t more con-
venient to ship to Macomb and then
to Bushnell rather than TO Bushnell
and then back to Macomb.
Secretary F. w. Harris of the Ma
comb association has suggested that
if Griggsville and Quincy will consent
to move back a week. Macomb will be
glao to do likewise, thus giving Bush
nell its old dates without disrupting
the circuit
