Geography Large Factor
In Making Ward Speaker

ing the pre-caucus campaign. The
governor had been emphatic in pro-
testations of neutrality, if not of in
difference It was significant, how
ever, that among Bryant's most &C

caucus were numbered admitlistra-

Wards behalf were leaders of tho
Graham forces in the 1896 first pri-

State ABC Board
Will Ask Changes
In The State Law

Raleigh, Jan. 5.-(AP)-The State
Alcoholic Control Board voted today
to recommend to the legislature
amendments in the liquor laws to re-
duce the bonds required for county
boards and to give it's investigators
power to make arrests anywhere in
the State.
Chairman Guitar Moore said the
board would suggest that county
boards would be allowed to give one
$4,000 bond, instead of $4,000 each to
the county and state.
Naturally, we will not make any
recommendations as to whether the
State keep or repeal its present liquor
statutes" Moore said

East Asia and threatening Japan
by reinforcing the U. S. Asiatic
fleet.
If the United States does not
