W. T. Lopp Of Reindeer Fame
 On Alaska Trip

w. T. Lopp, known for many years in the Nome and Cape Prince of Wales section, and for that matter, intimately by near ly all old timers of the Seward Peninsula and northern sections, who is a passenger aboard the North Star of the Office of Indian Affairs, which arrived at Nome today, told of some interesting experiences which he has had in connection with reindeer since his departure from Alaska twelve years ago.
 In 1925 he said, he made special trip to Baffin Land, far to the north and west of Green land, to inspect the feeding con- dions for reindeer on that island, for the Hudson Bay Company, which was interested in estab- fishing reindeer in that vicinity, He declared that the company had spent about a quarter of a million dollars to ship reindeer from Norway to Baffin Land and

 "It is of far-reaching benefit to the natives, Eskimo and Indian, of the Territory if advantage can be taken under this act to set up their own organization of busi- ness activities, where such possi- bilities exist.

 In respect to the reported star vation condition of Eskimo east of Pt. Barrow, MT.

Latest Kitchen Inventions Are Used in Helping Chefs

(By The Associated PreSS)

NEW YORK,-A "housewife's dream" is the apt descriptive term applied to the Queen Mary by those who have inspected the kitchens and pantries of the new liner.
 Keeping house aboard the big ship is task of magnitude, but relatively simple, despite the fact that more than 5O,000 meals must 5e prepared and served diagtrins each voyage.
 The kitchens are what every housewife would wish her kitch- en to be, the nes plus ultra of modern culinary science.
 Equipped electrically 100 per cent, the kitchens represent the last word in labor saving. Nearly every detail of the work is ac- complished by mechanical de- vices. A turn of the switch and the meal soon is ready.
 Mechanical Molly
 In the Queen Mary the kitchen hands have no irksome duties to becloud their routine. All they have to do is to place soiled dish es, silverware, china, and trays and there are many thousand pieces in the ship-in the Me chanical Molly" This newest contrivance for washing dishes does the rest.

realize then they have only in their
past voting been slaves to those who
were robbing them.
The only way we the farmers and
working people of this State can get
any thing good out of the present po-
litical condition that fifty thousand
ignorant voters have put us in, is to
elect mir. Gillian Grissom for our next
Governor 1t will be a lasting benefit

one; which is, it will show the Dem

OTHERS VIEWS

PRAISES DEMOCFNAI1C 11ChE1
TO the Editor;
The very polite and highly compe-
tent, Hon. Gillian Grissom, the Re
publican candidate for governor, has
apparently convinced himself that he
will be the next chief executive of
North Carolina. Moreover, he has
a lot of Republicans thinking the
same thing and a small number of
disgruntled Democrats.
Such extreme optimism deserves a
small measure of recompense, but no
man in his right mind believes Mr.
Grissom will come within one hun
dred ed fifty thousand votes of real
izing his ambitions to become COVER
nor. This is simply not Republican
year in either North Carolina or the
nation. The Democrats have nomi-
mated superb candidates in the per-
sons of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
for the presidency and Clyde r. Hoey
for the governorship. This is a win
ming ticket which no amount of Re
publican effort can defeat.
Gillian. Grissom is by all odds the
best equipped candidate for the gov
ernorship the Republicans have nom
mated in decade in this state. He
will poll the heaviest vote of any Re-
publican in the last quarter of CEN
fury but he will fall far short of a
majority. North Carolina has been
blessed with good governors for forty
years. Our affairs are, and always
have been, in good condition since the
Democrats came into power We
have hnnnSt nd Of
ment, recognized everywhere as one
of the best, if not the best and most
progressive in all the states in the
Union. We did not come by this
splendid reputation accidentally, it
was brought about by a wise and
competent Democratic leadership
The people of North Carolina are not
yet ready to turn their government
over to Republican control again. It
has been many years since they were
in power, but too many unhappy
memories Of that sad and turbulent
period of Republican misrule, still
linger in the minds of the Democratic
voters of North Carolina for them
to take another chance soon.
In the nation the Republicans have
nominated a good man for President.
He would in all probability make a
fairly successful executive; however,
in President Roosevelt the Democrats
have the most, vivid and colorful can
didate the. nation has known since it
came into being. He has been tried,
and not found wanting, in all the
splendid qualifications we demand
and expect our president to possess,
true he has made mistakes at times,
but he does not make the same mis-
take second time. His achievements
in the three and a half years of his
administration, have brought such
far reaching benefits to the business
people, farmers and laboring men,
they, cannot be measured in terms of
dollars and cents, in addition to the
material benefits the people of this
country are now enjoying, the hearts
and minds of men and women have
been regenerated and made glad by
President Roosevelt's administration

MIR. WRIGHT WRITES AGAIN.

To the Editor:
In our late primaries / voted for
Mcdonald, because he had the cour-
age and goodness of heart to come
out squarely and openly in the in
terest of the rank and file-the farm
ers and workers-in North Carolina,
I knew, if ultimately elected Cover
nor, little he could do to help us, for
/ was sure the next Legislature would
be like all former ones, ultra-conser-
vative That is to be used by the
wealth of the State for it's own pri-
vate ends. But, I reasoned, could we
elect Mcdonald we would make at
least one step towards freeing our
selves from money machine rule
which so long has hindered our pro-
gress as a free people And that sep
by step we could gain some favors
for those who toll in the years to
come But we are faced now with
four year wait unless something is
done within the next few months.
So 1 am fully decided, the thing for
those of us who voted for Mcdonald
in the primary, to do, is vote for Mr.
Gillian GrissOm, the Republican
Nominee, in the November election
Mr.. Grissom is a man of unquestion-
able character and marked ability. He
is loved and highly respected by all
who know him. He has as many quail
fications to make us a good Governor
as anv man in the State. There is only
one difference in his party and the
party Mr. Hoey stands for. The Re
publican party boldly proclaims that
it stands for predatory wealth, while
Mr.. Hoey's Democratic machine de-
clares it's interest in the people, 1t
does the bidding of the rich. God
knows there is really no difference in
the two parties, except one is more
honest than the other.
It is very clear to my mind there
are in North Carolina at least fifty
thousand voters who voted for Mr..
Hoey in the last primary who do not
know their onions about things poll
teal in our State. talked with many
men and women, during the campaign
who had nothing between them and
the wolf of want, but the grace OF
God, who said they would vote for
Graham or Hoey They did not know
it, but who wants to say, they were
not by thus voting, keeping themsel-
YES in poverty? No one could expect
the rich not to vote for Hoey in the
last primary or he or Graham in the
first. They stood for the same old
Democratic machine idea, that has
helped to bring the State and the ma
ton to it's present awful plight. That
abominasle idea that farmers and all
who work should live on the husks
while the few fortunate rich should
have the kernels. That idea prevailed
long years ago when black ignorance
was all but universal, but thanks be
to a few like the late Governor
Aycock who were followers of Jesus
Christ with feeling for their fellow
men, times are changing very fast.
Intelligent men and women are not
content to lead lives of slavery for
just the husks. None but dirty brute
would try to thwart their efforts for
a fair share of the returns for their
labor.
So I claim about fifty thousand at
least cast their vote for Hoey who
would have far better have voted for
Mcdonald, and it is no question in

structive of these ends, 1t is the Right |
of the People to alter or to abolish it
and to institute new Government, lay
ing it's foundation on such principles
and organizing it's powers in such |
likely to effect their Safety and Hap |
piness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate |
THAT Governments long established |
should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly all
experience hath shown, that mankind
are more disposed to suffer, while
evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when
a long train of abuses and usurpa-
lions, pursuing invariably the same
object evidences design to reduce
them under absolute despotism, it is
their right, it is their duty, to throw
off such Government, and to provide
new Guards for their future security"
1t is the history of the Democratic
party that it has at all times cham
pioned the rights of the great masses
of citizens, therefore when it ceases
to do so it becomes disintegrated and
worthless to them for their protection
Without the fear of successful con-
tradiction, l charge that there has
grown up within the Democratic
party in North Carolina certain
wealthy interests which have usurped
the control of the elections by means
which are beneath the standard of
Democracy. They have succeeded in
influencing administrative and legis-
lative bodies for a selfish and unjust
end. Justice to the great masses is no
longer recognized as a fundamental
objective of our state government.
1t has become plainly evident to the
thinking numbers among the masses
that principles must take priority over
the exploded partisan theory that you
must vote for the party nominee re-
CARELESS of the principles for which
he stands or the manner in which he
received the nomination. In present
ing this article for your considera
ton and criticism (if you wish), 1 do
SO free from an attitude to advise
or persuade, further than to say that
posterity will reap the results of our
actions. l have no ak to grind or poll
teal favorS to ask and am in a posi-
ton to say 1 will not surrender prin
ciples and further entrench political
adversaries. 1t is my purpose to re-
| main neutral for the next two and
| four years. at the expiration of which
I will again offer my feeble services
in a fight to place the control of the
Democratic party back into the hands
of the people of North Carolina.
I offer as a guide for my convic-
| tons the following verse by Lowell:
"Is true freedom tut to brake
Fetters for our own dear sake.
And with leathern hands, forget
! That we owe mankind debt?
| No! true freedom is to share
| All the chins our brothers wear.
And with heart and hand to be
Earnest to make others free.
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak
! They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, soothing and abuse
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must
think
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three"

CHOOSE BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC
PRINCIPLES AND POLITICAL
FICTION.

To the Editor:
Commencing with partisan political
history of our country you will find
that the first political parties (F'ed-
eralists and Republican, were formed
in 1897. Our second president, John
Adams, was elected by the Federalists.
You may be surprised to know that
Thomas Jefferson was a Republican.
The first Democratic president was
Andrew Jackson in 1929.
Notwithstanding the fact that JEFF
ferson, who was the author of the
American Declaration of Independ-
ence, was elected to the presidency
as a Republican he is known as the
father of Democracy which by no
means infers that he was either a
Democrat or a Republican. The facts
are that prior to 1854, which is the
date of the organization of our pres
ent Republican party, the difference
was only technical. Taking past poll
teal history together with the Amer
lean Declaration of Independence as
authority, it is clear to my mind that
principles involved are more vital
than technical partisan customs.
