Uzzell and Caffey
Want Speakership

and at this time is undoubtedly the
most likely prospect , f
John W. Caffey, of Guilford, chair
man Of the appropriations commit
tee this session, one of the routes
that generally leads to the speaker
ship, is believed to have more de-
sire to occupy back seat in the ma
tiGnal House of Representatives than
to have the highest seat in the North
Carolina House. Caffey almost ran
for Congress last year. 1t is vir-
tual certainty that he will enter the
field against Mr. Durham and all
other cOmerS in the sixth district
next summer.
w. E. Fenner, finance commit
tee chairman, the other and more
sure route to the presiding office, is
eliminated by the east-west alter
mating agreement The same rule
would eliminate Victor Bryant, of
Durham, who this year ran for the
place as an eaSterner.
But Uzzell is not likely to get the
honor without fighting for it. The
genial Pat Kimsey, of Pennsylvania,
legislative veteran and a popular
one has some boosters. Spruill
Thornton, of Forsyth, would pa a
very probable candidate and a for
midable one, but he will hardly ask
Tor the post in view of the fact that
his fellow townsman, Senator Cor
don Gray, is an avoWed candidate
for lieutenant governor. By a sort
of fluke this time, control of agri-
culture in both House and Senate
went to the same county, but the
membership is not likely to know
lngly select presiding officers of both
houses from the same town.
Rupert Pickens.4of Guilford, could
qualify in ability and legislative ex-
perlence, as well as geographically.
Plckens has chosen the role of a
lone wolf in his assaults upon the
appropriations and while he has had
some strong support he has not at
tempted ito organize any concerted
action or bloc. He would have moth
ing IN the way Of organization. to
start with
The fact that any prospective can
dldate may have the inside track
az nus time doesn't mean that he
will not be ousted later. Two ,ears
ago at this time it looked like a
.cincn for Victor Bryant. At the
same stage in 1888 it looked like
Willie Lee Lumpkin. But by 1885
Robert Grady Johnson had left
Lumpkin SO far behind that there
wasn't much need to have the vot-
ing. This year Libby Ward didn't
leave Bryant very far behind, but
in the last few hours before the
caucus he did succeed in picking up
enough votes to disappoint Mr.. Bry-
ant very keenly.
Commitments of SUPPORT from
members of this assembly, many of
whom will come back next time, are
desirable as nucleus around which
to build or organization. George
Uzzell is getting some commitments.
On the other hand, too much show
OF strength now may prove a handi-
cap. 1t did for Jack Morphew in

{ So WashingtOnian Prohibition.
Washingtonian' prohibition having
been decreed, prohibitionists imme-
diately asserted that it was working
perfectly. It wasn't true; I know,
having lived under it. But I've no
doubt that prohibitionists believed it,
not wanting a drink anyway
Yet the American majority, being
then prohibitionistic, chose to gulr
the whole story down bodily-and
we got Wholesale prohibition mainly
on the strength of Washington's
trial of it.
AS we know, a literal Saturnalia
Of racketeering followed.
Joseph B. keenan,, under Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was appointed assiS-
tant attorney general, in the justice
department, especially to fight the
racketeers. Assuredly he did fight
them, j. and probably understands
them better than any prosecutor liv-
ing, .h .-,.fa.
asked him then (he's recently re-
tired), what caused it all?-prohibi-
tion?- the depression what?
Prohibition" answered unquali-
fiedly "It just shows what a bad law
will do" Nevertheless he fought Ii
quor racketeering like a wildcat. Just
now, as previously remarked, he's
out as a public official.

 WAR DISCUSSION
Council of Churches in Talks of Conscientious
 Object0r

The church's attitude toward the conscientious objector was discussed by a group of 50 Waterbury clergy men and laymen last night without any definite conclusion being reached.
 The meeting was the first of four arranged by the Waterbury Council of Churches to discuss four differ ent aspects of the relation of the church to war. Last nights meeting was held in the First Congregational church, with Arthur L. Purinton, chairman of the committee on adult education of the council, in charge. Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, rector of St Johns Episcopal church, and Rev. James H. Phillips, associate pastor of the First Congregational church, were leaders of the discussion, each presenting formal addresses as Q basis for general discussion.
 Some of those present felt that the church should stand behind the pacifist, others that there were worse things than war and that in thu event of a just war the church should stand ready to support 1t.

 What the state needs" he con. cluded, "above everything else. k straight, opposition party fighting and no horse trading across lines If our politics is not handled thai way. not only cities but the state itself will run into more and more corruption.

Tommy, the big Devon bull of Nate Beardsley's prize winning herd, went to the slaughter in Derby last week and was dressed off at 1850 pounds. Mates sphere of influence expands with each passing year. Cattle buyers from western New York, Iowa, Kansas and all New England have visited the Beardsley farm in recent weks. A new bull from the University of Connecticut herd is now boss in the hill pas- lures where Norma Talmadge once rode an African wagon and posed for the silent fiickers in what was supposed to be the veldt. All roads lead to Mates. New York artists, newsmen, ac- tresses, and socialites seldom miss an annual call and a friendly glass of cider from Mates o'erfiowing cellar. The door Is never locked, the kitchen is always ready for a dinner or g dance, and genial friendli- ness permeates the very rafters of that old house on Good Hill. Nate and Percy Beardsley have proven that . Connecticut hill farm pays dividends, that the old ways of agriculture are often the bes tways, and that stout hearted Devon stock always finds a ready market at pre- mium prices. City folks envy the Beardsleys but are never quite successful in duplicating their success with red cattle. Competition in Devons is keen but Nate pulls his own weight and better.
