JOY FOR WEEPING:—His anger
endureth but a moment, in his favour i
is Hie; weeping n»ny eudure for a
night, but joy cometh in the morn
ing.—Psalm 30: 5.
WAITED TOO LONG.
Prohibitionists of the country have i
waited too long to bestir themselves j
In behalf of their cause. In this as in j
other things, it is too late to lock the
stable after the horse is gone. The big
mistake the drys have been making
all along and ever since the eighteenth
amendment was adopted was in sup
posing that their victory had been
won finally and for all time when the
thirty-sixth state ratified the amend
ment to the Constitution. At once
they fell back on their oars and be
gan to rejoice.
The Prohibition party will have no
chance of electing its nominees this
year, no more so than it used to have
in the old saloon days, and the only
benefit to come from waging an ag
gressive campaign now will be in
keeping their cause before the coun
try and letting it be known that they
are still alive. Beyond that, their
energies and their money will be I
wasted.
Both parties are committed to a re
ferendum on the prohibition issue.
The Democrats have gone a step fur
ther and declared for repeal. That the
question will be submitted is a cer
tainty. Conventions in each state for
the sole and specie purpose of vot
ing on repeal will be held, to which
delegates will be elected by the voters
on the basis of one for each represen
tative in the legislature. When that
time comes, it will be up to the pro
hibitionists to muster all the strength
and resources at their command. Then '
they can let loose their heavy artil
lery with full force and with some
prospects of favorable results.
But. even with Senator Borah as
their presidential candidate, they
could not affect the outcome of the I
election as between the two major
parties. The scramble for patronage
ill other advantages in the ranks of
those larger organizations would pre
vent their getting more than a mere
•mattering of votes throughout the
country.
CABINET PROSPECTS.
Already the gossip has started over
division of the spoils and the fram
ing of the cabinet if and when Frank
lin D. Roosevelt becomes President of
the United States next March 4. The
fellows who are prominent in the
campaign will expect their rewards,
•nd North Carolina, which was one
of the governor’s main supports at
the Chicago convention, expects to be
among those on the inside track. !
According to one line of thought,
Josephine Daniels is too old to be sec
retary of the navy again. Moreover,
it is being whispered around that he
got the lion's share of credit for a
good many highly constructive po
licies conceived by Roosevelt that
were put into effect in the navy dur
ing the two Wilson administrations.
Then, too, Mr. Daniels got on the
wrong side of the fence in the two
thirds rule fight at the convention. H#
lined up with the Roosevelt forces in
their original plan of strategy, but
they were forced to abandon that
position, which left Mr. Daniels out
on a limb.
This line of reasoning leans rather
to Governor Gardner as a cabinet
possibility. He was closeted with
Roosevelt for an afternoon of con
fidential conversation at the gover
nors' coaference in Richmond a few
months ago. and headed and held the
North Carolina delegation for Roose
velt at the convention. It is likewise
whispered about that Daniels was a
prospect for national committeeman
from this State, hut that Roosevelt
asnt word he preferred Gardner and
Gardner it was.
There may or may not be anything
to this gossip. The best bet is that
U is interesting. if- true. It may be
nothing but gossip. But the grape
vine is that Gardner would be secre
tary of agriculture in the new presi
dent's official family, by reason of
the results achieved in the live-at
home campaign in this State during
his administration as governor. That
is supposed to fit him for a further
ance of agriculture's rehabilitation. He
is said to be in line for campaign
speeches In parts of the nation during
the fall, and the extent to which he
participates in the speech-making
bombardment may be an indication
of the seriousness with which he will
be considered for high political honors
if the Democrats win.
North Carolina may again win re
cognition in the councils of the nation
if Roosevelt Is elected. Or, on the
other hand, what we are hearing now
may be only the noise of a well oiled
and greased publicity machine going
into action.
A NEW STATE CHAIRMAN.
Indications are now that Odus M.
Mull, of Shelby, intimate friend and
associate of Governor Gardner, will
refuse to become chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Comtni>
tee to serve during the coming cam
paign. and that his successor will be
either Major L. P.McLendon, of Dur
ham, who managed the successful
gubernatorial fight of J. C. B. Ehring
haus, or C. L. Shuping, of Greensboro,
who managed Senator Bailey's battle
against Senator Simmons in 1930, and
who more recently headed the Demo
cratic Victory Oampoign in North
Carolina for funds for the national
party’s work.
Mr. Mull has served the party long
and faithfully, and his wish to re
tire, If he does, with the passing of
hi.* chief, will probably be respected.
Either McLendon or Shuping would
bring to the important executive
duties of State chairman an ability to
wage war on the opposition with tell
ing blows. Both have come to be
well known in the State and would
be In position to corral support and
votes in all sections of the common
wealth.
ONE MILLION JOBS.
Finis has been written across a task
to which the American Legion of the
United States last winter set itself in
an efort to find one million jobs for
the unemployed of the land. And the
best part of it is that success has
marked the undertaking, as Is usually
the case when that organization sets ■
out to accomplish something. It was
planned to attain the goal by July 1,
and it was done by that time.
Virtually every state and thousands
of local communities throughout the
country had a hand in the work.
North Carolina was one of the lead
ers. as it has a habit of being in
worthy undertakings. And Henderson
likewise did a part in the cooperative
movement.
While comparatively few of the jobs
provided were of a permanent nature,
many of them were, and the long task
r.’id its successful fruition lent a help
ing hand to the million individuals
who came within the reach of the or
ganized effort. To that extent the suf
fering incident to» the depression was
lightened for 4Nbse who were among
the fortunate gltrsons.
From the outset it was a worthy
cause, but big enough to challenge the
resources of the vigorous organization
that sponsored it.
SMITH-TO HELP.
Alfred E. Smith’s announcement
that he would support and work for
the Democratic ticket this fall is
heartening to those who hope for
party victory at tke polls in Novem
ber. in the hope and expectation that
a change of front in Washington will
go a long way toward starting eco
nomic recovery in the United States.
No one has discounted Smith’s in
fluence, and if he throws himself
wholeheartedly Into the campaign he
can accomplish a great deal for a
high endeavor.
The announcement, however, is
more or less a negative one. Smith
plainly said that he could not support
the Republican party, which might be
Interpreted as meaning that he would
have to join hands with his own
party or nothing. In other words, it
was a case of nowhere else to go,
as he sees it. Smith could support the
party by merely voting the ticket, or
he could do the manly thing and sub
merge his own differences of opinion
and give his loyal and active coopera- ;
tion to the undertaking to put the!
democracy in power the nation. >
More than the mere' enthusiasm of;
a great national convention will be;
necessary to oust the Republicans.-
Everything seems to be in favor of;
the Democrats, but that does not
mean they are going to have a walk- •
sway of it. The fight must be carried;
to every corner of the country and»
the battle must be prasaed to the ut-J
-moat of tha energies and strategy of
the best genius available, and only by!
such a campaign will victory cone in (

munity never previously carried by a
Democrat since there was a G. O. P.
Moreover, having won merely the fag
end of a term, following his prede
cessor’s death in offioe, he repeated
his performance at the next regular
election.
To add piquancy to these twin In
cidents, it happens also that the sec
ond congressional district of Massa
chusetts is the home district of no
less a personage than ex-Presldsnt
Calvin Coolidge.
Gramfield’s victories bad no great
intrinsic -importance, it is true.
Still, by reason of the attendant cir
cumstances, they attracted consider
able attention —and were good wet
advertising.
Besides, as a sequel to the New
Englander’s initial triumph, the wets
scored several other conspicuous suc
cesses. In Gramfield's own state, Mar
cus A. Coolidge won a senate seat as
a wet Democrat. The late Dwight
W. Morrow won similarly as a wet
Republican in New Jersey. Robert J.
Bulkley won as a wet Democrat in
Ohio, home of the 4 Anti-Saloon Lea
gue. James Hamilton Lewis, as an
other wet Democrat, carried Illinois.
Edward P. Coetig&n, though not a
wet, was opposed to a dry, consequent
ly got the wet vote and won as a
Democrat Jn Cloorado. Thomas P.
Gore, as a Democrat and in part as a
wet, defeated a dry Republican for
the senate in Oklahoma. James J.
Davis beat dry opposition for the Re
publican senatorial nomination in
Pennsylvania.
Bernhard M. Jacobsen, as a wet
Democrat, broke into the house of re
presentatives from the rock-ribbed
Republican state of lowa. Louis C.
Crampton, one of the dryeat Repub
lican members of the lower congres
sional chamber, was defeated for re
nominatlon in Michigan.
There were other dry casualties, too
and no noticeable wet ones.
The wet tide did not stop rising fol
lowing the 1930 election day, either.
Since then an unusual number of re
presentatives have dide, necessitating
special calls upon the voters to fill
their places, and in nearly every such
instance a wet has been selected.
Politicians have been arriving more
and more at a realization of the fact
that a change is coming over the
spirit of the situation, but the wets
themselves had no idea that it was
coming so fast.
Drys, still in a liberal majority in
both houses of congress, began some
time ago to hedge discreetly—declar
ing themselves favorable to resub
misslon, if their constituents desired
it. Nevertheless, it was not until a
few days before the Republican con
vention that the certainty of a G. O.
P. pledge, even of resubmission, was
generally recognized. As for the Dem
ocratic demand for out-and-out re

more surprise; or, on the part of the
drys and straddlers, greater conster
nation.
Many Republicans find themselves
as badly puzzled as the dry Demo
crats.
Senator Otis F. Glenn, for example,
faces a well-nigh insoluble problem
in his coming re-election fight in Illi
nois. A dry Republican, he sensed
several months ago Hhe growing
dampness of his state and aligned
himself with the resubmissionists.
Now he is in accord with his party’s
platform, indeed—but is not Illinois
so much wetter than that that It will
prefer sopping wetness and accord his
Democratic opponent a landslide?
Senator Wesley L. of Wash
ington, author of the “five-and-ten
law,” but today, like Glenn, a resub
missionist, is in similar peril.
The representatives, all of whom
must take their chances with their va
rious electorates in November, are
in a veritable panic—that is to Bay
those among them (and they are in
a large majority) who must flop one
way or another and are muddled as
