ASKS LEGISLATURE
 TO ACT FAVORABLY

Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 13-(By the A. P)-Declaring that women should have the first right to speak when the issue is whether or not the world shall henceforth be ruled by reason and righteousness or by blood and iron" Governor Bickett, in a special message today called upon the North Carolina legislature to accept "the inevitable and ratify the federal woman suffrage amendment
 The governor warned his Demo- cratic friends that the most they, will be able to do by defeating the ratifi- cation resolution would be to delay flor six months a movement you are powerless to defeat"
 we may just as well realize," the governor continued, Hthat this coun- try is no longer an association of states, but a. nation. Whatever a ma jority of the people of the nation want is going to be the supreme law of the land Whenever I really want to think seriously about states rights, l go and muse for an hour over the grave of my Confederate grandfat ther for I realize now more keen1y than ever before that states rights have passed away"

Working To Defeat Mayor Wilson In |P rimaricS Here
Politics in the City Soothing With Wilson and Anti Wilson Feeling-Up- State Men Would Like to See Him Go to the Convention Without the City's Endorse ment.

Politics in Republican circles in the various districts of the city are seeth- ing with Wilson and anti Wilson forces who are putting in their finest work to have their men picked for the city convention at the Republican caucuses Monday night. In all the districts followers of the mayor are hustling for him, making every ef- fort to get the club members out strong to support the Wilson ticket
 Others who have not got over the upsetting the mayor gave the police department are working tooth and nail to have delegates selected to op- pose the mayor in anything he might seek. From the different reports coming into political headquarters to- day it begins to look as though the Bridgeport delegation will not be behind Mayor Wilson in the nomina- tion for governor at the state con- vention. This woulda give him a fine
 "black eye'' with the delegates from the other sections of the county and state.
 Republicans prominent in the in ner circles of the party have their
 coats and hats off working to beat
 any men who may show a tendency to favor Mayor Wilson for governor while the mayors closest friends are uolHS lot oI gum shoe Work Tn getting ready for the caucuses. most of which will be held on Monday night.
 Those opposed to the mayor point out that he is not entitled to recogni- ton after the lavish expend diture of money on the recent raids here, de- veloping practically nothing except a
 lot of bills which the taxpayers op- pose.
 Another bit of gossip which added interest, to the Republican situation today was that the upstate machine of which J. Henry Roraback is the leader may have a list of delegates to present to the primaries Monday. This | would make two factions against the Wilson wing.

 They are cheaper and quick and will run in the winter"
 ''Jitneys serve the working class better"
 'If I knew the person that said dear old trolleys' I'd ring his neck" <"
 of the trolleys come back I'll die; they're not worth the room they take up."
 'I always find room enough in them for a bundle and two chi1- dren.''
 They are quicker and cheaper
 With the jitneys I can go home to dinner and get back to work on time, while with the trolleys I cannot do this"
