PROFESSION
LOSING OUT
Women Voter Shows Fa-
vor for the 'Untainted'
Candidate.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

CCopvright, 1922, by The Argus)
Washington, d. c.. May 23.-Po-
HticaI phrases are banded about
loosely but the indications are that
campaigning hereafter will require
a more accurate definition OF
! what's a progressive" and what's
! a "reactionary" or conservative :
| The consensus here is that the
women are leaning toward the pro-
/ gressive side in each of the big
! parties. 1ut what is the progress
sive side? Is it still what it was
| in 1912-a revolt against party or
ganizations and the conservative
I policy of let we'll enough alone?
! Is it a protest against machine
| control or is it an affirmative &C
tivity, a course of political action
with a we'll defined objective?
| Well, whatever it may have been
in the past, whatever personal
friendliness for the Rooseyeltlan
philosophy or doctrine it may have
meant to Republicans or whatever
affinity it may have denoted in the
Democratic party for Wilson, it is
certain that it is going to mean
something definite this year.

and our own Wilson County is not as
far behind as it seemed at one time
that it might be. Nearly SO per cent
of a normal crop of cotton has been
signed in this County, and the to-
bacco is going very good. There is
hardly any question but that we will
take our place along side the other
counties by the time the campaign
closes.
AS has already been published the
States have been divided into dis
tricts, and it so happens that Wilson
county and Johnston county form a
district in the Cotton Association
and is designated as District No. 5.
1t further happens that Wilson Coun-
ty and Nash County constitute a
district in the Tobacco Association.
On Monday 16, at 1890 a., m.
there will be meeting of the mem
bers of the Cotton Association in
the Court House in Wilson for the
purpose of electing delegates to at
tend the District meeting to be held
in Smithfield next week. All men,
