OTHERS VIEWS
STRAIGHT TICKET

To the Editor:
Be not deceived stop, Think and
Listen"
1t is not my purpose to unjustly crit
iciZe, however, / do believe l am con-
ferring a fvvor upon some personal
friends, as well as others who have
openly stated their intent to vote a
State Democratic ticket, but will not
support their national ticket provided
Roosevelt is nominated for the party's
presidential candidate. 1 might go
farther and truthfully say that this
element is almost to a man for one
and the same candidate for governor
of North Carolina. Many of them hav-
ing stated their intentions not to sup
port the nominee for governor unless
he was their choice.
l can not believe that these individ-
uals realize that their contemplated
action mean to State and nation. I
do not say that they have no right
to pose as Democrats in North Caro-
lima and as Republicans in the ma
ton.
There is no such animal in North
Carolina as a demo-rep. They are
purely independent voters and have
no moral, political or legal right to
participation in a Democratic pri-
mary. l do not wish to be misunder-
stood. I DO not question their right
to be Independent voters in the gen
eral election, which would be their
honorable choice; but 1 do say no
man can faithfully serve two political
parties which proclaim such widely
40 koI Il
ice to himself, his fellowman, and his
country, they have the right to honor
their oath permitting participation in
the democratic primary.
On Friday morning 1 heard over the
radio a red hot socialist talk deliv-
cred by Norman Thomas at their
convention in Cleveland, Ohio. It
convinced me that such organizations
as the Liberal League, which is COM
posed of wealthy, disgruntled Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are doing most
to foster and develop discomfort and
dissention which are the hotbed for
all un-American organizations. These
will, unless obliterate by just govern
ment, undermine and destroy our
Constitutional republic which has
OCOAA
preserved by democracy
Believe it or not, you can trace the
selfish, unjust principles of the
American Liberty League from the
nation down through the states into
almost every voting precinct in Anne
RIGA. Their friends will argue that a
poor man has no interest in this coun-
try, therefore, he has no right to be
governor of North Carolina. Do not
be deceived. "The foxes have holes.
the birds of the air have nests. but
the son Of man hath not wherein to
lay his head" notwithstanding this,
he was King of Kings and Lord of
Lords.
Respectfully,
w. A. CONNELL.

May 80, 1498-Cristobol Colon, call

San Lucar with eight ships, on his
third voyage to the West. On it he
was to behold for the first time the

with having discovered in 1892. He
mistook this big continent for an is

May 80, 1S6S-The first Decoration
Day, or Memorial Day, of the north

Day had already been suggested in
the South, by a Georgia woman, but
the nothern holiday resulted from a

commander of the Grand Army of

man battle fleet as a sign that it was
trying to lure him into a trap where
mines and submarines lay in wait;
that he would refuse to be drawn in
to it, and, instead, would move quick
ly to a flank.
Caution stayed Jellicoe's hand now.
Darkness was closing in, and Jellicoe,
rejecting the hazard of a night bat
tie, decided to try to bar the enemy's
way during the night and reengage
Sheer at dawn. He ordered his fleet
to take up night cruising stations.
Beatty's battle cruisers closed up in
three parallel columns, his destroy
ers massed five miles astern, protect
ing the rear. This was designed to
prevent the Germans from passing
south and left only one good chance
to escape-by slipping around Jellicoe
and taking the Horn Reefs passage.
Sheer took it, Dawn found Jellicoe
staring at an empty sea.
The British had lost three battle
cruisers, three armored cruisers,
eight destroyers, 6,097 killed
The only battle cruiser which es-
capped serious damage was the New

him the previous year by a native

~ RADLEY FARMS, Md. April
- Capt. Marion Carson's
Turn On. q veteran gray mare
- that has seen action on
the polo field at many q horse
show and in the hunting field, turned
on her winning ways here yesterday
to become the individual star Of a
highly successful hunter trials staged
by the Riding and Hunt Club OF
Washington.
Meeting all comers in an open
division and in the test limited to
horses owned and ridden by members
of a recognized hunt, Turn On swept
with smooth and faultless stride to
pair of victories. Capt. Carson was In
the saddle each time, and his fawless
handling of the fencer contributed
generously to two performances that
had the 1000 spectators tossing away
their cheers and applause.
Blessed with a perfect day for cross
country riding, a course superior to
any that Riding and Hunt has built
in the past (although there was some
discussion about certain points in Its
structure), and an entry of more than
125 starters, the meeting yesterday
was a topping success throughout.
Only one or two minor spills disrupted
the day and exceptionally few re-
fusals were marked up against the
records of the bunting horses gathered
from Maryland and the Virginia
country as far down as Warrenton
and Flint Hill.
Despite competition from some OF
the most renowned horses to hounds
in either of these States, the Army
