The punitive expedition which is
being conducted against Senator Sim
mons by Democrats who supported AL
Smith for President in North Carolina
in 1928 is not making such Roadway as
had been hoped, according to reports
from the Tar Heel State. Indeed, de-
spite the claims of the anti Simmons
faction, it is claimed that barring acci-
dents, Senator Simmons is as good as
renominated right now. He has a strong
organization back of him and it is
rapidly being modified in all parts Of
the State. Heading this punitive ex-
petition Is Josiah William Bailey, q
prominent lawyer of Raleigh, who at
one time was one of Senator Simmons
lieutenants. Bailey was q candidate for
the guernatorial nomination against an
other OF the Simmons lieutenantS,
former Gov. Mclean but lost out. The
only issue that Bailey has is the failure
OF Senator Simmons to be regular" in
the Hoover-Smith campaign. He Is
counting on the bitterness engendered
In that fight to put him across. AS a
matter OF fact, the anti-Smith sentt-
ment in North Carolina, among the
Democrats themselves, was overwhelm-
ing, as indicated in the e-convention
campaign in 1928 and later in the gen.
eral election, although majority OF the
Democrats remained regular and voted
the national ticket. Gradually, 1t Is
said, the anti-Simmons vote is being
narrowed down to the Democrats who
actually favored the nomination and
election OF Gov. Smith. II that Is the
case, Senator Simmons Is as good as
nominated today,

 Police said the driver of the as sailants car confessed after his ar rest in the night.
