WILLIS SMITH SOON
TO ENTER CONTEST
Raleigh Attorney Will Be
Fifth Candidate to An
nounce for Governor

Raleigh, Jan. l5.-(AP)-Wiiiis
Smith, Raleigh attorney, said today
he definitely intended to enter the
North Carolina gubernatorial race,
and would make formal announce
mGnt near the end Of the week"
Smiths entry would swell the
number OF Democratic candidates to
fivc-the largest in the states his
tory. The announced candidates are
j. NJ. Broughton, Raleigh lawyer;
Lieut.. Gov. W. P. Horton of Pitts
boro: former State Senator Lee
Gravely of Rocky Mount; and Reve-
nue. Commissioner A. j. Maxwell OF
Raleigh.
a statement also is expected this
week from Paul Grady OF Kenly,
who ran unsuccesSfully for lieuten-
ant governor in 1886 and for utili-
ties commissioner in 1888.
Grady to Confer
Grady said he expected to confer
some time udring the week with
friends in western North Carolina,
and that the outcome of the confer
ence probably would determine
whether he would enter the guber-
material field.
Grady already has held several
conferences here with Dr.. Ralph w.
Mcdonald of Winston-Salem, who
ran tor governor in 1886, and other
eastern North Carolina supporters.
Two other men frequently men
toned as possible candidateS-Rep-
". E. Fenner OF Rocky Mount ana
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper of Will
mington-have kept their plans Sc
cret.
tenner said today he still had not
made up his mind whether he would
run, and ADDED he had no idea when
he would announce whether he
would enter the field. Mayor Cooper
apparently is sticking by state
ment he made early last year-that
if he ran he would be the last to
announce.
Backstage maneuvering approach
ed peak last week when Democrats
from all section of the state came to
Raleigh for a S25-a-plate Jackson
day dinner. All the announced gu
bernatorial candidates, and all the
frequently mentioned candidates en-
cept Cooper, were present.
The concensus Of the diners was
that the race would have a photo
finish, and that no entry could be
installed as Il favorite at this date.

That policy was adopted by, of and
for the rich, and believe me, 1t
ever functions to put money IN
their pockets. This policy is as vile
and cruel as any law ever made by
the most inhuman monarch that
ever ruled without regard for the
pain and suffering Of his subjects.
Why God, in His infinite mercy has
not destroyed us as a nation, Ior
our money policy, is question that
comes up in my mind almost hour
ly. l have scrubbed quite. bit on
this work, because it is our most
important one, and in order that
people who work may come to know
more of law Of their lands that
insults them continually. Every one
knows money is the life blood Of
any nation, and if its flow is in any
way hindered suffering is sure to
follow.
If the farmers and other working
people ever hope TO get decent
share OF the proceeds of their LABOR
they must read and study this
money question. It has far more TO
Go with their peace and prosperity
than all other problems Of govern
ment. Every farmers home should
have al least one of the excellent
papers that is being published en-
tirely for no other reason than to
inform the people about this all i'm
portant question Of money.
Mr.. Lowell Mellett, who was
chosen by President Roosevelt last
year to study conditions in the
south; in section Is, in his report
to the President, speaking of the
South's purchasing power says: THE
people of the south need to Ouy.

MIR. WRIGHT COMMENTS.
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
Suppose all the farmers cut their
tobacco and cotton crops, as Mr.. J.
3. HutSon of Washington, D. c.,
suggests and raise poultry, hogs,
:. goats, sheep and vegetables.
what could they do with them?
Why, sell them of course, says the
paper farmers. Well, if every farm
er in North Carolina should next
fall sell twenty-five chickens, three
hogs. two COWS, one goat, three
theep and vegetables enough to
last family of five one week, the
price for all would be so low that
the people would think Hoover was
in the White House. and the Repub-
licanS were again riding high, wide
and handsome.
It is nauseating to informed peO-
pie, who have d heart in them, to
note the various tricks designing
agents of predatory wealth are con-
tinually using to keep farmers doped
in order that they may be easily
fleeced. For more than fifty years
I have been hearing about these
different infallible nostrums that
would give the farmer a just share
of the proceeds of his labor. but in
all that long time the farmers have
been loosing their homes more and
more each year until now. after six
years rule Of the best president we
ever had. they are slipping from
them at the rate of more than six
hundred each month.
The farmers may conduct their
farms just as the paper farmers
wish them to, or they may run them
rs they please, but their condition
is not going to be better until 4
very drastic change is made in the
monetary policy of this government.
