Friends of The Popular Ex-GoyernOl
Expect to Force Him Into Race fol
Senator.
The Raleigh correspondent Of the
Charlotte Observer recently sent thai
paper the following interesting story
concerning matters political in the
State: 4
sClose friends of Ex-Governor
Charles B. Aycock, who know first
handed the character and volume Of
the pressure being brought to bear on
on him to get in the race for United
States Senator, declare that they dc
not see how he can possibly stay out
of the contest. which, it is pointed out
will be bitter to a degree that will be
very disastrous to sthe party, if the
campaign is waged with only Senator
Simmons and Governor Kitchin pitted
against each other for the seat filed
the past two terms by Senator Sim
mons. 1t is being talked on the very
best authority that letters. kilograms
and telephone messages are coming
in to Governor Aycock in large num-
bers every day, representing every
section of the State, even from home
counties of other active candidates,
and all of them from men of largest
influence, insisting that the ex-Gov-
ernor owes it to his State, as we'll as
to himself, to yield to the demands
being made upon him to stand for the
Senate.
Governor Aycock has been right
unwell for several weeks, but is i'm
proving now. being able to get down
town for a little time from day to day.
His friends in urging his availability
as a candidaterfor the Senate, say that
he is physically unable OF this time to
undertake to launch a campaign and
that he is a much poorer man than
some might suppose, having no mon
ey to spend in such a contest. In
fact. they are making it clear, in urg-
ing him as a candidate, that poor
health and lack of means will neceSsi-
tate than usual his being press
ed into the running and into the Sen
atorShip by his friends and thosetseek-
ing to save the party from disaster
that it is insisted, awaits it if the run
ming is left to a Simmons-Kitchin
They believe that Governor Ay-
cocks health will improve steadily
and say that he has reached that
stage of life when he should receive
this senatorial honor at this time if
at all and that no man could be sent
to the Senate who would command
greater influence and take a COM
handing place in national legislation.
There appear two principal influences
entering into the pressure being
brought to bear on Governor Aycock,
DIT that now is the time, if ever, that
he must be called to serve this Statd
n this high Office and that the inter
ests of he party require some formid-
able candidate other than Senator
and Governor Kitchin. both
Of whom, however, are understood to
be confident of winning out, no mat
ter how many get into the race. Then
there is the progressive" element of
the party that it is believed will insist
On some third candidate if Aycock
to yield. This element is be-
believed to be leaning toward E. j.
or Chief Justice Clark in that
event.

Guthries was executed at the Cross

Gil CHRIST WILL
NOT Hang FRIDAY
Northern Papers Arouse the Sympathy
OF the Entire Country For
Little Negro.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 7.-Tomor-
row, Sept s, is the day originally set
tor the execution of the young negro,
Earl Gilchrist, who was sentenced to
death for the murder for the murder
of another negro, Will Lindley, June
4. But an appeal was taken soon after
his conviction, June 20, and the case
is now pending in Supreme Court
where it will not be heard until some
i time in October. There is only very
remote chance that the negro will be
hanged, and if the courts should de-
eide against him, and it be proved that
he is only Is years old, as his mother
claims, the governor will commute his
sentence.
But Northern papers have worked
themselves into fine frenzy of hor
ror over the prospect of Arkansas
hanging "a kinky-haired babe" and
for the past week have flooded the
governors office with petitions, let
tests, begging, imploring and abusing,
urging him to commute the sentence
and save the state the ignominy of
hanging children. Petitions contain
ing 5000 names came from Cleveland,
O., alone, and the letters have poured
in all the way from San Francisco to
Toronto, with a few scattering ones
from the Southern states. Anna B.
Shaw, president of the Woman's Suf-
gram of protect, and member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission join
ed his voice with the chorus of horror.
George Judson King, the direct leg
islation advocate who conducted a
campaign in Arkansas last year, wiz
ed from San Francisco: 81 am strong
ly of the belief that the Communication
of the death sentence upon the negro
Earl Gilchrist to life Imprisonment
would be an extension of executive
clemency which the country would ap-
prove and meet the ends of justice in
this case"

Cloverdale, O., enclosing postal mon
ey order for 81 cents for the re-
prieve of this little boy" signed by
dozen contributors of 2 cents to 25
cents.
