ORGANIZATION Will
Be COMPLETE TASK
Democratic Party's Program
Reaches Into Every Pre-
cinct in State

Raleigh, Sept. 26-The Democratic
party's precinct-hy-precinct organiza-
ton this fall will be the most COM
plete IN the history of North Carolina
pollt1cs-if plans of State Chairman
j. wallace Winborne are carried thro-
ugh.
$50 far we have made more pro-
gress toward a complete organization
than we have ever made this early in
the campaign" said the Chairman.
There are three reasons for this
First there is North Cardinals great
admiration for President Roosevelt
and it's determination to give him a
record majority. Second, progressive
men and women throughout the State
realize that with Roosevelt and Hoey
heading the Federal and State overn-
ments, and with prosperity returning,
we may expect four years of unpre-
cedented advance along lines Of edu-
cation, social legislation and material
advance. And, finally, we are receiv-
ing the closest cooperation from the
county chairmen and other party
leades"
Know. your precinct" is the text
the chairman has preached on at each
of the district meetings, at which he
conferred with the local officers of
the party. He has urged that the pre-
cinct chairmen take a hOuSe-tO-hOuSe
poll of the precinct to discover the
potential Democratic strength, check
the Democratic names against the
poll books to see that everybody is
registered, and make plans to get out
the entire vote on election day.
Mrs. j. B. Spilman, the State vice
chairman, has called upon all the
Democratic women workers of the
State to join in the organization
work. Women are just as capable as
men, perhaps more so, in doing this
sort of work. she said. "The plan of
organization calls for at least one wo-
man on every precinct committee. IF
the precinct chairman call on these
women TO help with their canvasses
and with checking the registration
books, they will get the organization
work done sooner than ever before,
believe women are noted for their
thoroughneSs and, as most men al
ready know, the more work you give n
women to do, the greater will be ner
enthusiasm"
Last week the Democratic cam
paign spotlight turned from the vest
ern half of the State, where the first
six rallies were held, to the East. The
first district rally was held at Ahos-
kie en- Friday. Others will follow in
the next few weeks.
Il know that the West, where 1
now live, would go down the line,"
said the chairman, land I am delight
cd to find the fighting spirit in my
native East.
Il realize, of course that in the
great majority of eastern counties
there is so little Republican opposi-
ton that it is difficult to work the
Democrats up to the point of inten-
sive oranization and a drive to get
out the full vote. However, 7 find a
determination among our eastern
chairmen to do just that this fall.
They feel that the East owes an over
whelming majority to President
Roosevelt and to the whole Demo-
cratic party"

CHANGED PROFESSION TO
STAL IN NORTH CAROLYN

DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald, erstwhile
of Winston-Salem but now of the
University of North Carolina Law
School, decided to take up law as a
profession and leave the educational
field because he wanted to remain in
North Carolina and because he was
confident that the doors of all the
universiti, s and colleges were closed
to him because CT his liberal political
views, he told this correspondent to-
day.
Il know that some people think I
decided tc take up law because it Of
fered a better financial return than
education or because 1 intended to re-
main in politics. DR.. Mcdonald said
'Rut the basic reason I decided to
take up law was because I want to
stay in North Carolina, but / could
not stay here and make a living with
out changing my profession. For it is
a fact that none of the schools and
colleges in North Carolina will employ
as an instructor any one with pro
nounced progressive and liberal ideas
with regard TO government politics,
or who advocates any change in the
present ultra-conservative type OF
thinking. For most, if not all, of
these schools are dominated Or actual
ly controlled by wealthy donors or
corporations who are anything but
liberal either in their politics or in
their thinking Naturally, none of
these colleges or universities would
think of employing me.
$50 the only thing for me to do was
to prepare myself for a profession IN
which I could make living and still
hold to my liberal ideas about politics
and government. That is why l am
now studying law in the University OF
North Carolina Law School"
When asked if he did not think ,e-
coming a lawyer would make it easier
for him to stay in politics in North
Carolina, DR.. Mcdonald said that he
did not take that question into con-
sdieration He agreed, however, that
he would always be interested in pc
litics in North Carolina and would
continue to work to secure the poll
teal reforms which he and his fol-
lowers have been advocating and that
he would always fight any machine
control of the Democratic party in
the State.

Liberal Democrats Losing
Heart With Mcdonald Out

fertilizer.
Planned Mcdonald Job.
Nor we're the leaders of the Liberal
Democrats merely hoping for the con-
tinued moral support Of Dr.. McDon-
aid. They were definitely planning Go
offer him job as an executive sec
rotary of their organization. it was
learned from an authoritative source
today, as soon as their organization
should become general and coherent
enough to warrant such a move. They
also hoped eventually to undertake
the publication of Statewide weekly
newspaper with DR.. Mcdonald as it's
was already definitely in sight for
both of these things when their new
found Moses kicked over the apple
cart and spilled the beans by deciding
to become a school, boy again and
eventually a lawyer.
Then came the Democratic rally in
High Point, atw hich DR.. Mcdonald
again pledged his loyalty and devo-
ton to the Democratic cause, State as
we'll as national, denied that he had
any actual connection with the Lib
eral Democrats and HAD his picture
taken hobnobbing with such master
Democratic mechanics as Clyde r.
Hoey, the Democratic candidate for
governor; Wilkins Perryman Horton,
the Democratic candidate for lieute-
nant governor whom Mcdonald had
formerly charged was the machine"
candidate; and George Ross Pou, the
Democratic candidate for State au-
ditor, and others of the "old guard"
who before the primary had been
anathema to DR.. Mcdonald and all
his followers. It was all a terrible
blow to many Of the Liberal Demo
Gratis and a terrific disappointment,
almost more than a lot of them could
stand, some of them now frankly adj
nit.
Still another thing that has brought
Encouragement to the Liberal Demo
Gratis ard their leaders has been the
zeal ara energy with which the re
gular' Democrats have been singing
the praises of President Franklin ID.

AN EXAMPLE OF RELAYED
PRISON DISCIPLINE.
The South Dakota jail break is an
other example that treatment of pris-
Oners must be made more stringent.

The South Dakota prison break last
Saturday brought death and injury in
its wake to an appalling degree. Reading
the account of the Staying of the warden
makes hot blood boil, but all to no avail.
Criminals crooks and jail-breakers
will go on forever. We might as we'll
face the fact The South Dakota instance
Just bears out that fire must be fought
with fire and force countered with strict
est discipline While applying the scien-
tifically improved methods of penology
and the high idealism Of improving hu-
man nature, the murderous case at hand
proves that crime still must be surround
ed with iron bars and steel strictness.

never have occurred had it not been that

IL. A. TimeSl

In all of the numerous riots and demonstrations
that have bedeviled official relief efforts here in
the past year, members of the so-caed Public
Works and Unemployed League have been con-
tinually prominent. 1t would seem to be about
time that law officers took this league apart to
find cut what makes it tick. If the funds to run
Il come from the dole-and it seems fair as
sumption that they do-then the recipients
getting more relief than they need and the sur
plus can be given to the really needy CT saved for
the taxpayers.
Some thirty asserted members of the league
took possession of the Vermont district office
Tuesday and had to be elected by police AT best.
the organization is making a costly nuisance of it
self without producing any good results for its
members. 1t would be tCo much to say that mere
membership in such an organization should be
reason for denial of relief; but it should be
reason for scrutiny and investigation, and the
leadership of the organization should be especially
looked into.
