I thought I could understand why. Some of this "island" blood was running in her veins. "When did Peter first get over there?” I asked. "It was nearly ten years later, af ter he had come to power, and fol lowing the death of the old chief." Pauo told us. "When the old chief knew that his days were about num bered, he called the people together for a big celebration. At the height of the festivities he arose and com manded silence.

A The old chief then charged rcksdfather to lead the people safely and gave the command that the people should obey the. word of the new chief, even as they had obeyed him. Grandfather had no Idea whet was happening when the celebration started. The turn of event* had eort of stunned him. Suddenly he found that he bad been made chief. Ruler ship here In these Islands was always, in the final analysis, based uu the will of the people ruled. “There were several reasons why the old chief selected grandfather for leadership. One was. I believe, that he felt that white aggression In these txUnd would become more pro nounced with the passing of the years. More of the great old square riggers had been seen in past few seasons in these waters, and he felt that grandfather would know bow to deal with them for the best interests of the people. Another was that grandfather was a powerful man. physically. He stood nearly si* feet four Inches. The island people have always been great admirercs of strength, and grand father could out-swim. out-dive, out run and out-hunt the local youths. Then he had a sunny disposition, a ready smile and a natural gift for politics end the handling of peoide, which he had apparently inherited from his Irish mother—which Incl dently was where he got his red hair. During the years a real affec tion had sprung up between ’Sun Top' and the old chief. The chief felt he was fitted to lead the people. “This is sort of a roundabout way of aii awe ring your question," Pauo said to me. “I wanted to give you the background first. The old chief died a few wee's after this. "Now there Is a custom here la Polynesia which calls for the burial of rulers In a place aiiurt. The loca tion of this spot Is kept a deep se cret. Only one person In a genera tion knows the exact location of the burial place of the kings. “it Is high up. and pall-bearerk have to be chosen to carry the body up. but when they are very near the Place, they are sent down with lips -sealed. The acf of opening the tomb and placing the body among those of the line, devolves upon but one. “So when the old chief passed away, the body was anointed and wrapped in to pa cloth. It became grandfather's duty, the exact loca tion having lieen imparted to him by the old chief, after his coronation, to be the one to place the body in the secret burial place of the kings. "The funeral party set out in the great war canoes for old Tarea. That was the first time grandfather had set foot on that island since he had been taken from there as a captive ten years before, Now he was return ing as chief of the people whose captive he had been." Tom said eoftly: "There Is drama in that." fJO BF CO VTWUKJD | Col. Freeman, A* Keynoter, Praise* Gardner Regime (Continued from Page One.) perky to this almost prostrate coun try." Good Government. The party stands on a record of “thirty-two years of progressive and constructive government” he continu ed and does not have to defend a rec ord of poor government. Freeman cited all of the numerous ways in which the State had pros pered under Democratic rule, pointing out good roads, humane treatment of defectives and convicts, excellent health conditions and better schools as achievements of the party. "As distressing as are the economic conditions today, no state in the Union is a* well off as our state," be said. "As Aycock flashed a torch which shed light on a new era in the State, so has Gardner held it high when our people were being crushed as a result of the complete break-down of the national Republican party in tt* gesture towards meeting the present day crisis, and I would point out to you some of the acts through which th* party under his leadership has kept faith with the people." Progressive Measure*. Freeman then talked of recent pro gressive Democratic measures, "as Nero fiddled while Rome burned, so did Hoover prattle while the fthancial structure of America fell," he con tinued. but Governor Gardner requir ed a reduction in State expenditures of about $3,500,000 last biennium. This put the State’s house “in ordej-" while the nation marched on in darkness. "Consider the questions confront ing the congress today and the con duct of that body dominated by a Republican senate and a Republican president—then think on the acts of our last legislature.” he continued, "A comparison will show that the Democratic party is to be the safest trusted because it has the principles and men nearest to the people and standing so rthem.” Noting that “a progressive and en lightened-government always recog nizes that new conditions require new remedies." Freeman recited passage of the Mac Lean school law, the local government act, the new road law, the division of personnel, the divis ion of purchase and contract, the re organized banking department, con solidation of the three major insti tui ions of higher learning into the University of North Carolina, changes in the methods of running states pri son, and the Gardner live-at-home pro gram as outstanding steps forward from legislative activities or initiative 1 STEVENSON Saturday, June l*ih, lOCto EVERYBODTfIOc Op*** From 11 A M T* tl F.

Tie .said the ..various accomplishments and movements which he cited had reduced the total coot of government in the State be tween five and seven millions of dol lars per year and bad transferred front rea (estate and property to the corporate wealth of the State some twelve millione of dollars in additional taxation. During the "depression biennium," Freeman said this state had its house in order, and having met all obliga tions and absorbed the deficit a sur vey showed the debt would be twelve millions of dollars less at the end of the Oardner administration than at th* beginning. "No other state in the Union has made so favorable a rec ord," he continued. Freaman compared the present per iod to the poet—Confederate war days when Vance led the State and pre dicted that O. Max Gardner would eventually be recognized "as one of the truly great governors of this State." Turning from the Gardner admin istration to national affairs, Freeman said: "Whan we compare the manner in which our party in this has met the problems of today with the manner 4n which the Republican party in this State met the problems that confront ed it while in power, and then com pare the conduct of the two parties in our national affairs, we are struck with the contrast of the virtues of the Democrats w’herever they are In control, with the faults of the Re publicans wherever they are in con trol. "Between 191* and 1920, under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, we proved that hard times and Demo cracy are not synonomous. What a contrast does the succeeding 12 years afford. First, a period of normalcy; then graft under Harding; then Cool idge'e voice raised only in defense of special interests and iri encouraging mergers, monopolies and combines; then Hoover's administration to abolish poverty and instead a steady downward Arend of (business since 1929." Freeman based the cause of the de pression primarily on the unsound structure of unrestricted credit and legislation founded on greed and fa voritism permitted and adopted by the Hoover administration and congress.

Raleigh, June IS—While it is not expected that the State Democratic Convention, In eeeeion here today, will formally indorse either Senator Cam eron Morrison or Robert R. Reynolds, since both must contest for the nom ination in a second primary July 2, a majority of those attending the con vention here seem to be more pro- Morrison than pro-Reynolds, and ob servers agree. It would not be sur prising to many if the convention should turn out to be a Morrison convention by the time it is over. Reynolds, of courss, has many friends and supporters among the de legates and others who are here for the convention and these are en thusiastic and vocal in their praise Had Hoover been attie to see thing? with the discernment of Gardner, he added, things would be vastly difft-r --end in the country today. In conclusion Freeman said present day conditions have been made by men and "can be remedied by/men. ’’ “I would not dare to name/a date when we may look for an improve ment in our economic life, yat I will tell you one thing that must/be done before that day cun arrive. "We must dnve from power in this country Ahe .Republican party and place at the head of our government an apostle of the people, a liemocrat true to the fundamental principles upon which our party is founded, one who will insist upon equal rignts to all, special privileges to none, special regard for the worth of the farmer and the workman, the encouragement of commerce and industry, the pre servation of individual initiative and return of foreign relations on a basis of mutual ntereet in foreign com merce." of Reynolds and in their prediction*. Mqet of thoee In the Reynold* camp are predicting that he will have a majority of not )«as than 90-000 over Morrison in the second primary and that he is making gain* every day in every section of the State. They main tain that it is unthinkable that any of those who voted for Reynolds in the first primary will desert him now and go to the candidate who trailed him 16,000 votes In the first primary and that the great majority of those who voted for lam C. Bowie, Frank D. Grist and Arthur Simmons will undoubtedly turn to Reynolds rather than Morrison. The Reynolds forces are also main taining that Grists decision to sup port Morrison instead of Reynolds is reacting to help Reynolds more than I Morrison, and that Grist's assault on Reynolds' war record. In which he branded Reynolds as having evaded his duty during the war, has really turned more ex-eervice men to Rey nolds than to Morrison. It is an apparent fact, however, that the Morrison organization has gotten down to business in short order and that It has been functioning smoothy and effectively now for almost a week, while Reynolds apparently has been doing little more than mark time un til the caucus he held with his county managers and supporters here yester day afternoon. Under the direction of Colonel Don Scott, of Graham, State campaign manager for Morrison, the organization of the Morrison cam- ] paign has been going ahead steadily, 1 without any blare of trumpets, but 1 with precision. It is agreed that al- I ready, in less than a week, Morrison i has a better organization function ing In every section of .the State than in his entire-campaign previous to' the first primary- It is also agreed that this organization is going to be come increasingly effective between i now and Ju|y 2 and that it embraces a great many influentall men who were more or leas inactive in the sena torial campaign before th first pri mary. The Reynolds sqpporters are al ready raising the cry that Morrison has started out to "buy" the nomina tion in the second primary, that he has made the sky the limit in cam paign expenditures and is already spending money like water. They muintain that Morrison's demand for a second primary pas already anger- PAGE THREE ed many who voted for him in the first primary because of the coat of thla second primary, which they claim will cost the taxpayers of th* State 6200.000. The facts are. however, thai the second primary is being held in more than half the counties in purely local contests, so that a second pri mary for State or congressional of fice* will not increase the cost more than 617.000 or sl6 000 at most. While prohibition is admittedly on* of the large*! single issues In th* campaign, with Reynolds an out-«ffd out wet and Morrison dry, the Mor rison managers are basing their cam paign more upon the inherent quali fications of the two men rather than upon prohibition, maintaining that Morrison is better fitted by back ground and past experience to repre sent North Carolina in the Senate than is Reynolds. They agree that Reynolds is likeable, entertaining, suave and clever and that he puts on an entertaining campaign, especially in his speeches. But they maintain that when it comes to legislative mat ters affecting ths welfare of the State and nation. Morrison *s the safer and saner man to tie to an ddepend upon.
