Montgomery meeting at Bluefields,

Touching on the character or
Judge Morgan and his ability to
fill the office of chief executive of
the state, Gov. White said that
he had LEown all the candidates Of
both parties for the past forty
years, and that no party has nomi-
uated a man who was his super
ior. He predicted that Cox Xand
koontz and Cox and Montgomery
will be defeated by Harding and
have a substantial plurality. Mont
gomery. he said, will get more De-
mocratic and Socialist votes than
Republican.
Passing on to the discussion OF
national issues, Gov. White declar-
ed that the extravaganza Of the
Democratic administration Is un-
parallel in the history OF the ma
ton or the world More than a
billion dollars was spent on army
cantonments on the cost plus plan.
One hundred and seventeen mil
lion dollars was expended in trying
to manufacture gas without sue
