Bailey, of Raleigh, ppenlng the Democratic campaign In Guiltord county at a meeting at the county courthouse Thursday night. roundly rapped President Harding, assailed the Republicans for their foreign, tariff and internal revenue policltes and praised the state Dem-ocratic administration. A tair-elzed crowd heard Mr.' Bailey. Me was competing with the Central Carolina fair, but he was not dissatisfied with audience. He called them the faithful and told them he would rather have them be-hind him, faithful, than a crowd not so imbued with enthusiasm. Mr. Bailey was introduced by O. C. Cox, county executive chairman, who declared that there is too much apathy among the Democrats of the county and that they must bestir themselves. At the outset, Mr. Bailey told the Democrats not to be of faint heart. He declared that down In their hearts the Republi-cans want the Democrats to retain control of the state administration and that if the Republican leaders were ,to wake up some morning and find themselves in power they would not know wthat to do with the state, that they would rather the Demo-crats stay in control. The foreign policy of .the Republi-can national administration came in for a thorough scorching at the hands of Mr. Bailey. In spite of the promise of Mr. Harding, in his speech accepting the .Republican nomination for President, that he wanted to bring about an associa-tion of nations America stands aloof, while the whole world, including America, suffers, tbe speaker de-clared. American commerce suffers and the world looks to America. The Democratic party offers a solution with the league of nations, the speaker said. He paid a high trib-ute to Woodrow Wilson, and the reference to the former President drew great applause. IMr. Bailey took up that presi-dential mHMuation speech- of Mr. Harding and one by one dissected the broken promises. He called Harding a weak man. less a Presi-dent than any that have occupied the White House. He spoke of the two great strikes from which the country is just emerging, and de-clared that the most impotent figure in all .those dealings was Harding, backing off. saying he was not going to have anything to do with them.

Plans For State Fair Raleigh, Oct. 18.—By the calen-dar yesterday was Srtnday. and a day* dedicated to rest and medita-tion, but out at the fair grounds it was the day before the eve of the 61st State fair, where a thousand people labored on final plans for the opening of the fair. The fair wiW Governor »i*fus Doughton to show up at the riemocratic meeting at the aourthousei Friday night did not work to break up the meeting, as local Democrats and Gus Self, of Hickory. #ell known attorney and Democratic? wheelhorse in Catawba county, were called upon to speak. O. C. Cox, county committee chair-man, stated that he did not know why Mr. Doughton did not come. The date was set by the state Dem-ocratic committee. Clem Wright, candidate from Guilford for re-election to the lower house of tfce general assembly, was first called upon by Mr. Cox to speak, lie responded briefly, but effectively..* He stated that there are three things one must do, go for-ward, stand still or go backward. The legislature of 1921, he said, de-termined to go forward, and the state is progressing under a Dem-ocratic ad min ist rat ion. so much so that North Carolina is astonishing the Union." It must continue to go forward, he said. He declared that the Republican tariff will operate so that the pockets of the sugar and wool barots will be filled at the ex-pense of 'the people and that thr latter will wake up and thrust out the Republicans who foisted the tariff upon the people of the United States. Mr. Self made a fine speech. It is the duty of every American to take part In the government of the United States, he said, by the exer-cise of the ballot. The government is not a rfrw men at Washington, be declared, :but made up of all the people. A true patriot will take part in thie affairs of government, he said, with the best interests of the whole people at heart. The Republicans have been untrue to the trust-Imposed in them, he de-clared, by their inefficiency, and a great many of the troubles of the nation and the world are due to their mismanagement of affairs. - Get EswV. he urged his hearers, and work. Apathy is dangerous, be said. It would not do for Guilford county to go Republican, he said, not do for the Democratic candidate for solicitor to be defeated, or for the Democratic candidates for Con-gress from the fifth distrlc to be de-feated, but now is the time to work, he said. Work hard, he pleaded.

roundly rapped President Harding,
assailed the Republicans for their
foreign, tariff and internal revenue
policltes and praised the state Dem-ocratic
administration.
A tair-elzed crowd heard Mr.'
Bailey. Me was competing with the
Central Carolina fair, but he was
not dissatisfied with audience. He
called them the faithful and told
them he would rather have them be-hind
him, faithful, than a crowd not
so imbued with enthusiasm.
Mr. Bailey was introduced by O.
C. Cox, county executive chairman,
who declared that there is too much
apathy among the Democrats of the
county and that they must bestir
themselves. At the outset, Mr.
Bailey told the Democrats not to be
of faint heart. He declared that
down In their hearts the Republi-cans
want the Democrats to retain
control of the state administration
and that if the Republican leaders
were ,to wake up some morning and
find themselves in power they would
not know wthat to do with the state,
that they would rather the Demo-crats
stay in control.
The foreign policy of .the Republi-can
national administration came in
for a thorough scorching at the
hands of Mr. Bailey. In spite of
the promise of Mr. Harding, in his
speech accepting the .Republican
nomination for President, that he
wanted to bring about an associa-tion
of nations America stands aloof,
while the whole world, including
America, suffers, tbe speaker de-clared.
American commerce suffers and
the world looks to America. The
Democratic party offers a solution
with the league of nations, the
speaker said. He paid a high trib-ute
to Woodrow Wilson, and the
reference to the former President
drew great applause.
IMr. Bailey took up that presi-dential
mHMuation speech- of Mr.
Harding and one by one dissected
the broken promises. He called
Harding a weak man. less a Presi-dent
than any that have occupied
the White House. He spoke of the
two great strikes from which the
country is just emerging, and de-clared
that the most impotent figure
in all .those dealings was Harding,
backing off. saying he was not going
to have anything to do with them.

Plans For State Fair
Raleigh, Oct. 18.—By the calen-dar
yesterday was Srtnday. and a

but out at the fair grounds it
was the day before the eve of the

Governor »i*fus Doughton to show
up at the riemocratic meeting at the
aourthousei Friday night did not
work to break up the meeting, as
local Democrats and Gus Self, of
Hickory. #ell known attorney and
Democratic? wheelhorse in Catawba
county, were called upon to speak.
O. C. Cox, county committee chair-man,
stated that he did not know
why Mr. Doughton did not come.
The date was set by the state Dem-ocratic
committee.
Clem Wright, candidate from
Guilford for re-election to the lower
house of tfce general assembly, was
first called upon by Mr. Cox to
speak, lie responded briefly, but
effectively..* He stated that there are
three things one must do, go for-ward,
stand still or go backward.
The legislature of 1921, he said, de-termined
to go forward, and the
state is progressing under a Dem-ocratic
ad min ist rat ion. so much so
that North Carolina is astonishing
the Union." It must continue to go
forward, he said. He declared that
the Republican tariff will operate so
that the pockets of the sugar and
wool barots will be filled at the ex-pense
of 'the people and that thr
latter will wake up and thrust out
the Republicans who foisted the
tariff upon the people of the United
States.
Mr. Self made a fine speech. It
is the duty of every American to
take part In the government of the
United States, he said, by the exer-cise
of the ballot. The government
is not a rfrw men at Washington, be
declared, :but made up of all the
people. A true patriot will take
part in thie affairs of government, he
said, with the best interests of the
whole people at heart.
The Republicans have been untrue
to the trust-Imposed in them, he de-clared,
by their inefficiency, and a
great many of the troubles of the
nation and the world are due to
their mismanagement of affairs.
- Get EswV. he urged his hearers,
and work. Apathy is dangerous, be
said. It would not do for Guilford
county to go Republican, he said,
not do for the Democratic candidate
for solicitor to be defeated, or for
the Democratic candidates for Con-gress
from the fifth distrlc to be de-feated,
but now is the time to work,
he said. Work hard, he pleaded.
