O. Max Gardner Stands the State Democratic Platform
and Believes in Giving Every Man Square Deal

Upon the result of the primary
for Governor on July 3 depends
the political future of North
Carolina for years to come.
One vital issue will be decided.
That issue does not arise out of
the party platform. Gardner
and Morrison both say that they
stand Loyalty upon that platform
regardless of their former views
upon any subject therein cover
ed.
The issue grows out of Gard
ner's refusal to answer the ques'
tionnaire Of organized labor. That
refusal has brought him the ener-
gized enmity and hate of a small
group of paid labor agitators. AT
their head stand Barrett and Nc
Mahon, the one a republican from
Asheville, the other an interlo.
per from South Carolina. To
day they are canvassing the
state against Gardner. A few
days ago in Goldsboro one of
them publicly advised his hear
ers to bolt the ticket and vote
for Paker if Gardner is nominal
ed.
These men do not represent the
great body of the laboring peo-
pie of North Carolina. They do
control a few thousand votes.
They believe that this control
gives them the balance of power
in this contest. Their policy now,
as always, is to divide and con-
quer. !" They expect YOU, Mr..
Unorganized Laborer, YOU, Mr..
Farmer, Mr.. Merchant, Mr..
Business Man, to divide your
votes between the two candidates
but every vote THEY control
will be thrown in solid mass
against Max Gardner. That is
their policy; that is their plan;
that is their only hope of getting
THIS STATE, YOU AND YOUR
CHILDREN IN THEIR POWER,
for they aim at nothing less than
the control of the State.
WILL YOU LET THEM DO
IT? YOU are not organized.
YOU have made no demands
upon any candidate for Governor.
You are willing to take your
chances in an open field with no
favors shown. You are inartic-
ulate. There is no one to speak
for YOU unless you can have a
Governor who will represent
ALL THE PEOPLE, a Governor
who can get into Office with hands
united. unbound by private
promises or public pledges.
But these others are organized.
THEY have made demands.

that several OF the alleged American

nothing but subsidiaries OF the Royal

financed solely by British apd Dutch
capital.
Several OF these companies have

required by the act of Congress
which threw the oil reserves open to

When the oil leasing bill yas

American citizens, as follows:
THAT citizens OF another country,

them, she said. put a gun under the

hisa hands. Hiser, instead of obeying
the command, showed fight. Then, II

bullet struck the man in the back OF
his head and glanced downward. His
spine was partially paralyzed.
When Hiser fell, he was relieved
of his money. about $500, the girl
charges. His watch and a diamond
ring also were taken. she alleges.
Hiser was found sometime later by
persons residing in the neighborhood.
He was sent to st. Vincent's Hospital !.
and IL was said at that institution
that if he lives he probably will be
a cripple.
1t was on information furnished by
a boy that put the police on the trail
of Lima Tolley and her companions
After the shooting the boy told the
police he had seen Miss Tolley in
company with a stranger on trolley
car near Chesterfield Heights. Four
detectives went to Miss Tolley's home
and questioned her. She broke down
and confessed.

"Yes. I'm the woman you want"
she sobbed. "They made me do it.
I was afraid they would kill me IL

made me take the man out there
where he was shot and after they
shot him, they held gun over me
and made me take his watch and

Then Miss Tolley gave the police
the names of the Hallett brothers who
live in the county. They found David
Leroy ut home. When he was told
Leroy Hallett at home. When he was
told Lima, Tolle% had confessed every

He said he had been waiting near
the place where the shooting occurred
when Miss Tolley came along with
Hiser. He said his brother was with
him at the time. When the girl and
man came near them, his brother ap-
preached Hiser and asked him what
he was doing there.
my brother said to Hiser. "you
come with me-" young Hallett said.
Hiser replied, you can't pull that
stuff on me-" and showed fight.
when the elder Hallett was ar

Japan DEF|ES
i. S. PROTESTS
Reply to SaghaIien Note Shows
No Intention to ReCede .
From Position.

Japsn's reply to Secretary coloyr
note making inquiry as TO the right
by which that country Is occupying
the northern half OF Saghalien Island
and IL she intends to continue TO oc-
cupy that part OF Siberia east OF Bal
kal Lake and to create bufrer state
in lower eastern Siberia near Viadi-
vostok. was received at the State De-
partment yesterday.
While the reply is couched In the
most courteous language and makes
effusive protestations OF agreement
with the general principle set out In
the American note, Japan does not
recede from any OF the positions she
assumed, and TO which this Govern
ment has taken such bitter exception.
As to the upper half OF Saghalien,
Japan protests that she was compelled
to occupy IL for the reason that II Is
actually part of the Siberian province
OF Nicolaivesk. IL was In the capital
OF the province. Japan alleges, that
number OF her nationals including
two officials, were massacred late last
spring, and her troops. she says. are
now there to avenge that outrage
HAS LITTLE EXCUSE.
Against temporary occupation OF
Nicolaivesk province for this purpose
the American Government made no
protest. But when half OF saghalien
Island was annexed as well. the state
Department made vigorous represen-
tations.
Japan's only excuse for occupying
the island is the pretense that II Is
practically part OF Nicolaivesk. With
this bit of sophistry the state De-
partment does not agree.
As to the buffer state in Siberia. it.
is Japan's view, as expressed in the
note, that such "A state is absolutely
essential to prevent the spread of the
Soviet armies, as well as Soviet doe
trines. to the Far East. She alleges
she has done this in the interest OF
the allies and of America, as well as
in her own interest.
In this connection IL will be re-
called that the buffer state adjoins
the province of Manchuria in China,
which is practically a Japanese pos
session. and greatly adds the Mi
kado's territory in this particular To-
cality.
REPLY IS VAGUE.
The American note did not make
objection to present occupation OF
the buffer state. but ii was very So
licitous in its inquiry as to when the
occupation will end. on this point
the Japanese reply does not throw
the smallest light. End OF the occu-
patton will depend. she asserts, upon
military contingency" but she is
willing from time to time to discuss
the situation with the United States
in the most friendly manner" All
depends. Japan contends. upon estab-
lishment OF a stable government in
Russia, which she hopes, with the
United States, will be soon.
All in all, the reply can hardly be
said to be satisfactory to the United
States, except in promises leading
into the distant future.
A copy Of the note is in President
Wilson's hands and will be discussed
by the Cabinet on Tuesday. A reply
probably will be formulated at that
time.
1t is expected the text of the note
will be made public, together with
copy of the State Department inquiry.

Black Rot Fungus

Fruit growers all over the east have been suffering great Joss by the disease known as black rot fungus. The foliage and fruit are both affect ed by this disease. The disease oc- CUTS at the eye end of the apple, caus- ing rotting which in very short time consumes the whole fruit.
 This disease can be controlled to some extent by using a summer spray of lime sulfur, l-4 gallons to 50 gallons water, with two pounds of ar senate of lead powder incorporated in the mixture. This, put on during the summer at intervals of ten days to two weeks, will help to some extent to eliminate one of the worst fruit diseases in the eastern part of the United States.
