KENYON FAVORSA
FULLrTIlNE MAN
Experience Has Shown Faults
in Present System Of
County Government
IMPROVEMENT is NEEDED

A. w. Kenion, who will go into
the Democratic primaries in
June as a candidate for the Of
fee of clerk of Orange county,
advocates a new system of coun-
ty government.
He thinks there ought to be
a whole-time man on the job all
the time, to see that the county's
business is conducted in a busi-
nesslike manner.
This is the letter from Mr..
Kenion in reply to one asking
him to state his views for the
benefit of the readers of the
Chapel Hill Weekly:
Replying to your inquiry as
to whether l have any views on
the subject of county manage
ment, / wish to state that for a
number of years / have advo-
Gated a whole-time Chairman of
the Board of County Commits
sioners, a part of whose duty
should be to keep himself fully
informed on all matters in which
the county is concerned; empow-
cred to make Investigations, YER
ify claims, and supervise certain
departments of the county's
work. Such a chairman would
be able to lay before the Board
at it's meetings, information or
which it could act intelligently
and with the assurance that the
facts in all cases have been Sc.
cured.
"For four years, during my
two terms as Register of Deeds
| was brought face to face each
First Monday with the fact that
three men-any number of men
however good and honest their
intentions, or what their ,busi-
ness ability, cannot dive into a
mass of business to which nc
previous study has been given,
while around them-sometimes
on top of them-stands or sits a
crowd of men continually, often
vehemently, Grating on subjects
ranging from the school system
to a mud-hOle in the road-and
conduct the county's business
without making mistakes. The
wonder is how do commissioners
manage as we'll as they do under
such conditions.
"In my judgment, the com
missioner system of county gov
ernment, with the improvement
suggested above, is preferable to
government by a County Mana
ger. The latter Il confess | may
not have the proper conception
of what it is) savors too much
of one-manism."

ARRASMITH WILL
REMAIN IN RACE
Denies Report That He May
Withdraw from Contest
for Clerkship
IT'LL sUND0WN JUNE 5TH''


Il T. M. Arrasmith' of Hills
boro has sent a letter to the
Weekly declaring that he will
stick to the finish in the contest
for the office of county clerk.
1T has just come to me-" he
writes, "that the report is being
freely circulated that / have
withdrawn from the race for
clerk of the Superior Court.
II have no way of knowing
from what source this report
emanated. Therefore l take this
my surest and best opportunity
Of correcting and contradicting
same.
I'm entering this race l did so
fully realizing the political con-
ditions of Orange county and
with the full determination to
stay in until sundown on June
the 5th, at which time the polls
close. I have won many race in
the home stretch after being
beaten away from the wire.
"My motto has always been to
drive close, keep out of any and
all jams, and be ready to go
through whenever an opening
occurred. In this way there is
most often a reserve left for a
final finish.
II am running my own cam
paign am not coupled with any
other candidate for any other
office. Neither shall ] advise
or suggest that a voter shall sup
port some other candidate in
case they will not support me-
Nor do | claim that there is
only one lone man in Orange
county capable of filling this
office.
."Some think and go so far as
to say there may be more; just
how many no one knows; let the
people be the judge.
"All candidates have lived in
Orange county long enough for
the voters to form some idea as
to each individuals fitness for
the place.
1T is admitted, however, that
some are more familiar with the
drafty corridors of the court
house than others, having occu-
pied various different rooms in
said building for the past de-
ade. But what difference does
this make to the one lonely fel-
low on the outside who does not
know the grapevine code and ci-
pher.
Crops of all kinds often grow
better for a new tenant than for
one who has been on the job for
many years. Then, too, rotation
of crops has been known to be
beneficial to all concerned. In
numerous cases doctors have
been known to prescribe a
change for the patient, and they
do say it often works well.
"This is going to be an elimi-
nation contest Notwithstanding
the first report that went out
from the King George the 4th
dome on the peoples building in
HilIsboro some weeks ago. Hop
ing to live to see the end Of per-
feet day on Saturday, June 9th,
am, sincerely,

LABOR CONVENTION
 RESUMES ITS WORK
Resolutions Committee DelVeS
 Into Detailed Matter

Detroit, Oct. -12 R-Officers of
 the American Federation of Labor are satisfied that effective restric- tions will be placed upon the migra- ton of Porto Rican workers to the
 cotton regions of the Pacific south west, and have abandoned a tenta- tive program to bring the matter
 before the organizations convention.
 Conversations between representa- lives of the American Fedora ton of Labor and members of the executive council of the American Federation have resulted in an un- derstanding of the basis of effective
 limitation upon the movement of unemployed from Porto Rico to the United States, to enter into com petition with the higher paid Ameri- can workers.
 The convention approved two resolutions touching upon Porto
 Rico in yesterdays session. One urged estaglishment of a civil gov ernment under the department of the interior, to replace the present administration under the war de- partment's bureau of insular af- fairs, and the other requested ere ation of joint congressional com-
 mittee to investigate conditions in the island possession.
 The convention resumed labor to- day on the report of its committee on resolutions, with recommendation
 of relations with Russia, the prob
 lem of labor organizations under employer control, judicial injunc-
 tions in labor disputes and the re- lief for the striking textile workers
 of Passaic, N. J.. in the first order of business.
 The committee emphasized that
 there is no presidential campaign be- fore the American electorate and thc. Governor Smith was not an avowed candidate for the presi- dcncy.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 12 P-Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., and Og- den L. Mills, republican candidate for governor, joined hands today for a trip to the southern part of the state in which they expected to make addresses at Cobleskill and Oneonta, returning In time tonight to appear in Schenectady.
 Representative Mills returned once more to New York city's "bootleg milk" scandal in addresses last night while Senator Wadsworth continued his discussion of the prohibition question. child labor, and the Coo lidge administration.
 MT. Mills called upon Governor Smith to summon special grand jurys to investigate the milk scan- dal and ''see to 1t that the whole nest of corruption be thrown wide open and that the guilty, whoever they are, be punished. Turning to the prohibition question Senator Wadsworth declared the goal we want to reach is temperance
 NO decent man can condone the use of liquor," he said.
 Its use has been curse of man for hundreds of years. What distresses me is the wholesale nulli- f1cations of the constitution now go- ing on. We cant escape the con- clusion that millions are resisting this attempt to establish abstinence"

 Mastuandonis denied the charges and blamed the trouble on Dun bar, who, he said, attacked him in the alleyway. Every night he takes walk before retiring and last night he was doing just that when he was attacked. He does not know Mrs. Dunbar and he never approached her, he said. He was surprised when attacked and sought only to defend himself as he feared his life was in danger. He smelled drink on Dunbar, he said.
 Charles Pratt of 14 Broad street testified that he saw Mastuandonis in front of the entrance to the rear house where the Dunbars live at g o'clock. He was attracted by the rumpus and separated the men, pulling Mastuandonis off Dunbar when both were on the ground.
 The case of Charles Dow, aged 30, of 23 John street. charged with non support, was continued until tomorrow. He pleaded not guilty and will be represented by Attor- ney Thomas F. McDonough. He was arrested last night by Detective Sergeant George c. Ellinger on a warrant, on complaint of Mrs. Dow.

 E. Stanley Welles was made mod orator and Roy S. Hurd, chairman of the town committee. made a mo- tion that one ballott be used for representative and justices of the peace. This was evidently a sugges- ton which the supporters of Mir. Hanbury were responsible for, since immediately afterwards printed bal lots were distributed and MT. Han- bury had small stiCkers. on which his name was printed, to be placed on the ballot,
 It has been the custom in town to nominate different candidate every two years and MT. Pape fought hard for a renomination. The contest was keen, bringing out large number of voters who cast 320 ballots in all. Mir. Hanbury received POP and MT, Pape 116. Delbert K. Perry of Maple Hill presented Mir. Pape's name while F. Welles Eddy of the center nominated MT. Hanbury. After the count was made. Mir. Pape made a motion that the nomination Of Mir. Hanbury be made unanimous and that the caucus pledge it's sup port to the republican ticket.
 The following were nominated for justices of the peace: E. Stanley Welles, 293; Nathan c. Avery. 259; Almeron S. Churchill, 254; and Clin- ton s. Barrows, 1S9. Arthur Mahan, the fifth candidate, who was defeat ed, received IFS votes.
 A little excitement was thrown in- to the caucus when the ballots were being prepared. Miss Mary c. Welles addressed the chair and proceeded to make som, remarks on the bill in the last legislature regarding the annexation of Seymour Park, which MT. Pape opposed. Theodore C.. Wallen reminded Moderator Welles that an elementary rule of parlia- mentary law forbid any remarks

AL SMITH NOW IN i. O. STRONGHOLD
With Retinue of Speakers, Can.
 didate Pushes Campaign

Oneonta. Oct. F RNInvading the strongly republican territory of New York's southern tier counties, Governor Smith and his running mate, Robert F. Wagner, candidate for senator on the democratic ticket, today continued their campaign be- gun here last night.
 The governor was obviously well pleased with his reception here. It was the third time that he had be- gun a campaign for election as gov ernor In Oneonta.
 The strong labor element Tn this city led both democratic candidates last night to express their views in detail on labor legislation and their criticism of the republican congress and legislature.
 The governor emphasized the ac- ton of the 1926 legislature In post poning consideration of pending la bor measures until after investiga- ton by a special legislative com mittee.
 This was done" he asserted, Ito get away from carrying out any of the platform pledges and to leave the whole question of relief hanging in the air"
 Turning to the assertions of Og- den L. Mills, his republican oppon- ent, concerning the extent of the inn portation of bootleg milk into New York city, Governor Smith declared that the issue was not one of state wide importance, and accused MT. Mills of using 1t only as smoke screen" behind which he sought to hide the record of the republican party on other issues
 Tt Is quite evident that Congress man Mills is in no position to de- fend the record of his party" said the governor. and Is also reluctant to make known his own position on many of the big issues that affect the people of New York"
 It became known today that Judge Wagner, who last night de- voted the greater portion of his ad- dress to discussion of farm relief legislation which, he said, had been opposed by Senator James w. Wads- worth, and to the republican labor record, will throw himself into the prohibition controversy Wednesday night, when he speaks at Elmira.
 Senator Wadsworth has been fea- turing the prohibition issue In his campaign and It was indicated that NJ. Wagner intended to answer him in an attempt to show that the democratic position was more logi- cal and deserving of support.
 Judge Wagner. whose history as noor boy on New Works East Side was recalled to last nights audience bv the chairman of the meeting, at tackled Senator Wadsworth at the outset of his address on the ground that he did not understand the real needs of the average worker. The postwar period has seen the farm CTS of the country in the throes of depression, he asserted, from which Senator Wadsworth refused to at tempt. to lift them by advocating proposed farm relief legislation.
 The democratic campaigners con tinued their trip today with a visit to Binghamton, where the second night meeting was to take place.

Broad Street Husband Beats Up

James Mastuandonis, aged 31, of 51S Main street, told Judge filling a, story in police court this morn ing which the judge apparently did not believe, for he fined him $lO and costs for breach of the peace and assaulting Thomas Dunbar aged 23, of 22 Broad street, rear. and suspended judgment in the case of Dunbar, who was ar raigned on similar charges.
 According to Dunbar's wife. she was entering her tenement about 10 o'clock last night when she was insulted by Mastuandonis. She told her husband, who attacked Mastu- andonis. Dunbar said a disorderly house Is conducted in the tenement beneath his, and his wife has been annoyed frequently by men who mistake her for an inmate as she passes in and out of the yard. Many times, late at night, men try to gain admittance to their tene- ment. This has been going on eight months. he said. He reported 1t to Sergeant McCue, who told him 1t would be necessary to catch some- one in there before the police could act.
 Last night he was angered at the reported insult to his wife, and he remonstrated with Mastuandonis and pushed him. The latter pushed him and a scuffle ensued. They went to the ground in each others embrace and Officer David Doty was attracted by the rumpus and arrested them. Dunbar said he in tended to hold Mastuandonis for the police.
