that this can be achieved only if each form

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-When the Demo-
cratic national convention assemblies at Chi
cago, July 10, rest assured that North Caro-
lina's Governor J. Melville Broughton will be
included among those playing major roles in
the selection of ticket to carry the banner
of the party of Jefferson in the coming presi-
dental campaign.
Broughton is now regarded by party leaders
close to the administration as:
possible candidate for vice president
One of a group of three leaders from whom
convention keynoter is expected to be Sc
lected and
A possible selection as permanent chair
man of the convention.
The North Carolina governor was one of
a few southern leaders with whom President
Roosevelt conferred during trip through the
South about year ago. The President is said
to have told these that the Democratic party S
southern leadership should have greater party
recognition, and that it is possible some strong
Dixie governor might even be selected as
vice presidential nominee.
Action by the North Carolina Democratic
convention recently in issuing strong en-
dorsement of Broughton for vice president
threw bigger national spotlight upon him.
Now, it is reliably reported here, he is being
considered by the committee on convention
arrangements, headed by National Chairman
Robert E. flanagan, as a possibility for the
temporary chairmanship which would carry
with it the honor of making the convention
keynote address.
In event some other leader is named key
noter, it is possible that the Tar Heel execu-
tive may become permanent chairman, pre-
siding over probable selection of President
Roosevelt as candidate for a fourth term
and his vice presidential running mate which
he, himself. aSDireS to become
Broughton's chief rivals for the ktynoter
honor are Governor Robert Kerr, of Okla.

lucky, majority leader
Likely vice presidential aspirants, in addi-
ton to Broughton, include Vice President Hen
ry A. Wallace, Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas; Senator Harry Truman of Missouri,
and Senator Barley.

our attention has been directed to an adj
oreSS before a group of newly naturalized

as saying:
America is still the land of opportunity
With ready reward for every ability Ameri-

kindness and peaceful living. For this, our
country must have the right leadership in

wars and hatreds. Part of your responsibility
as American citizens will be to help choose
these leaders, To this urge you to give your

from your own heritage only the best and
inject it into America, for the sake of this
wonderful land of freedom, for all it's people

SUNDAY, MAY 81, 1914

All of the evils of fallen angels and men
have their birth in the pride Of self. On
the other hand. all the virtues of the
heavenly life are the, virtues of humility,
1t is humility that makes the impossible
gulf between heaven and hell. What is then,
or in what lies, the great struggle for
eternal life? 1t all lies in the strife between
pride and humility. {. IL. He therefore only
fights the good fight of faith whose strife
is that self nature which he hath from
Adam may be brought to death by the
supernatural humility of Christ brought to
life in him.
