OVERMAN WILL
RUNUNOPPOSED
FORU.S s. SENATE
Noted Democratic Caucus Of 1903
Recalled by GIenn's Action in
North Carolina.

RALEIGH, Jan. 24.-Ths decision
OF former Governor Robert B. Glenn
not to become a candidate against
Senator Lee S. Overman recalls the
stubborn contest over the election or
a United States Senator by the Leg
lsiature of 1903, when Overman
triumphed after 40 nights OF con-
tinuous balloting. Nobody ever count
ed the number of ballots cast by the
Democratic caucus. but they must
have totaled at least 700. The in
side story Of Mr.. Overman's election
is told to-day for the first time.
In that notable contest for Sena-
torial honors were Senator Ovcrman,
Cyrus b. Watson, of Winston Salem;
Locke Craig, Of Asheville, who Is now
Governor; General Julian S. Carr. OF
Durham, and Associate Justice VIII
liam A. Hoke. Overman and Wat
son ran neck and neck, with two or
three votes separating them; Craig
polled from rs to 35 votes, and Gen
eral Carr, who with Watson, was the
old soldier candidate, carried or
members Of the Legislature.
Former Governor Glenn, who is
soon to be made a member OF the
International Boundary Commission,
came to Raleigh to whoop things up
for his townsman, ICY" Watson, and
to this day Watson believes that
Glenn was responsible for his defeat,
though this is far from the true state
of affairs.
Watson Aids Travis.
The coup was engineered by II. l..
Travis, chairman of the North Caro-
lima Corporation Commission, and
then Senator Overman's campaign
manager.
After five weeks of balloting in
caucus. the General Assembly ad-
iourned from Friday until Tuesday
morning.
Wednesday Travis went to the Carr
delegation and told them to vote for
Overman until the fifth ballot that
night, promising in the event of fail
ure to elect, gradually to turn the
Overman support over to General
Carr. George II. Bellafy. of New
Hanover, who was for Carr to the end.
left a sick bed to fight for General
Carr and the other five of the gen.
erals supporters gladly took chance.
on the fourth ballot Wednesday night
Overman was nominated in caucus
for United States Senator.
The election of Senator Overman
in 1903 explains why the Senator
stood shoulder to shoulder with SEN
ator Simmons for the appointment
of A. d. Watts as Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the Western Dis
trict of North Carolina, and why
Watts was named, despite the objec-
! tons of Secretary Daniels and Pres
| ident Wilson himself Mr.. Watts was
termed a reactionary, but he landed

before the people in primary next
summer, but there will be no one
to oppose him. all his opponents hav-
Ing been given good jobs.

ney Wilkerson and his aides that the
Grand Jury inquiry is intended to
hush Mrs Lewinsohn, rather than to
prove or disprove the charges.
Checks Found and Explained"
Checks have been produced and
since seized by Wilkinson, which show
that Lewinsohn paid thousands Of
dollars to Federal officials. These

include Assistant District Attorney l..

Wis and United States Commissioner

PENDANTS who obtained bond from
Lewinsohn had to appear.
The checks were explained in ev-
cry instance as personal loans. Mrs.
Lewinsohn says they were dividends
on the bond business.

Threatens to Return.
He named the two men, an Assist
ant District Attorney and a secret
service agent who was to have re-
ceived the money. He threatens to
return to Chicago, face his accusers
and take his chances with the courts.
Charles F. DeWoody and Assistant
District Attorney Harry A. Parkin
to-day issued a statement denying
the charge that they were in any wav
responsible for the Johnson escape or
the compromising of the smuggling
case against him.
The Federal crowd Is in a panic
because Lewinsohn has sent word
from his hiding place that he will
return to Chicago il Johnson does
and aid him in prosecuting Federal
officials.

Goes to
His ReWard

Friday afternoon at four O'Clock
one of Payette's best known ant
best loved citizens passed to his re
ward While it had been generally
known that A. Wells was very Low
and had been near the passing hour
for two weeks or more, yet when il
abecame known that he had gone
home, many evidences of regret were
heard from Payette citizens in gen
teral. @& So
For fifteen years Alexander Wells
has been a resident of this city, and
for seven of those years it has been
the pleasant privilege of the writer
to know and highly esteem him as a
Christian man of broad minded prin-
ciples. During his residence in Pay
ette, A. Wells was closely identifi-
fed with the building up of the COM
munity, not only In materially way
but in a spiritual way as well, for
he was closely identified with the
work of the Christian church in this
city, Knowing him as well as they
did it is unnecessary for us to make
comment to Payette people on his,
life here. He was father above re-
proach and a husband and helpmate4
in esall that the name implies. His
was. the sort of life that leaves be-
hind its. benign influence to benefit
for years to come those Coming in
contact with it.. Many instances
might be told of his broad love for
his fellowmen and they who will miss
his kindly face and friendly greet
ing are many indeed. 4
Alexander Wells was born in Brook
county, near Bethany, West Virginia.
February 5th. 1928. He grew to man
hood in the state of Ohio and spent
four years of his life teaching school /
in that state, Illinois and Iowa. In !
1850 he became a Christian and4
united with the Christian church andlt
iyesyears later began preaching the /
gospel. He mfnistered at Dewitt, las
