THE NEWS AND OBSERVER. RALEIGH. N. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 2, 1932 EHRINGHAUS HITS FOUNTAIN RECORD Has He Ever Fathered a Constructive Measure, Is Inquiry High Point, June C. B.

Ehringhaus, candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, speaking here in the same building where Lieutenant Governor Fountain denounced parts of the legislation of the Democratic General Assembly, picked up the chaflenge of Mr. Fountain here tonight. He laughingly said that "Brother Fountain has apparently gone mad -the madness that always precedes defeat. He is so mad that he bites at his governor. He' snaps, at the newspapers.

He growls at his party. He barks at the moon. And if the campaign lasts long enough in his uncontrollable wrath, he will most certainly take a bite at himself. hoped," Mr. Ehringhaus continued, "to be able a campaign free from bitterness and in the same spirit of friendly rivalry between fellow Democrats, but Mr.

Fountain, in the past two weeks, has overstepped the boundary of rivalry and organized his campaign in its closing days with personal and political attacks, without parallel in history challenges the loyalty and leadership of the party. "What meat does Caesar Fountain feed upon that he should become the director, general of the Democratic What is there in his record as a public servant in North Carolina to justify his assumption of leadership in this critical hour! at his record. "Ho. first entered public life in 1919 as a member of the Legislature and has served continuously since as a member of the House and as Speaker of the House Lieutenant Governor. Few have maned been so highly honored by the Democratic party.

"Since Fountain has seen fit to assault the present administration of which he, himself, is a member, holding the second highest office, it seems pertinent to inquire it Mr. Fountain at any time during his long period of public service ever fathered or fostered A constructive piece of legislation in North Carolina! Did anyone in the State during the past 13 years ever heard of a Fountain bill! "He attacks his party extravagance and waste, but offers no evidence of how he handles, in the exercise of his powers, the taxpayers' money. He has never told the people North Carolina why it was necessary to appoint 15 pages to serve 50 Senators while the Speaker of the House was getting satisfactory service from 10 pages serving 120 members. He has never told why it was essential to have 51 employes to wait on and serve himself and 50 Senators. "Mr.

Fountain is asking the women of the State, to support him. Let us look his record with respect to legislation which interests our women. "He has never referred to the fact that he has persistently opposed legislation advocated by the women of North Carolina. His first record of opposition to women occurred on March 3, 1919, when Mr. Fountain, as a member of the voted against the bill by Senator Brown to extend municipal suffrage to women.

"Mr. Fountain wasn't even willing to trust the ballot in the hands of the women of North Carolina for the election of mayor or county commissioner. "In August, 1920, Governor Bickett called a special session of the General Assembly to pass upon the ratification of the women's suffrage on August 20, 1920. But this would not be so significant, for many good men voted against ratification, except for Mr. Fountain's subsequent disregard of the legislative program of the organized women of North Carolina.

"He has consistently opposed reforms that have been dearest to the hearts of our womenfolk. After women were granted suffrage in September, 1920, by ratification of the amendment in Tennessee, they started a unified program for the secret ballot. Mr. Fountain's record on the Australian ballot is so indelibly written and his opposition to it so consistent that it is impossible for him to dodge the accusing finger of the womanhood of North Carolina. Even though at the moment, campaign letters are being sent to women of the State in his behalf.

"In no fewer than three sessions of the General Assembly has he shown himself to be the implacable foe of the secret ballot. The journal of the House of Representatives for February 25, 1925, shows that he voted against the Falls Australian Ballot bill and the next day voted table it. Two years later, almost to A day--on February 24, 1927-as Speaker of the House he again voted against the Falls Australian Ballot Bill and helped to kill it." Mr. Ehringhaus continued at some length attacking various legislative positions of the lieutenant governor. WAR VET ON WAY TO FIGHT FOR PAYMENT William A.

(Scotty) Dean, of Greenville, S. well known clown and World War veteran, arrived in Raleigh yesterday on his way to Washington to add his efforts to other veterans seeking passage of the bonus bill. The South Carolina man served with the Tenth Liverpool Scottish regiment and later with the 146th base hospital, Dixie division, thereby seeing in both the English and American armies. He was wounded in action during a bayonet charge in Houge, France, on June 16, 1915. He says he also served in the American Nary during the World War.

When here yesterday he wore portions of his original "ladies of hell" uniform. He was also thoroughly deeorated with badges and memos from various veterans' gatherings in reunions that he has attended from coast to coast. On his back he wore a placard that he WAS for the proclaiming, bonus bill. Dean will hitch-hike from Raleigh to Washington, expecting to be there in time for the showdown on the veterane' bill.

What are you Humorist. can't help but have a fit about it. He is 80 engrossed in his business that I hardly see him at all cept at meals, as he works every night until 11:30.

I work myself because I simply couldn't stand being alone all day and half the night, too. My husband never tells me about his business. If anything happened to him, I wouldn't know anything more about his affairs than a stranger. I feel that wives should know about their husbands' business not in a bossing manner but as a protection to them. I work in a lawyer's office and see 80 many women whose husband's estates are in probate that don't know the first thing to do that I think it is about time some one brought it home to men how important it is to at least give their wives a working knowledge of their affairs.

I love my husband dearly and am sure if he talked things over with me, the load wouldn't be 50 hard to bear. B. L. -If I could say one word to wives, more earnest than any other, it is to sit steady and not rock the boat in these stormy times of depression when every man is having all he can do to keep his little craft afloat. If you love your husband at all, If you have any desire whatever to help him, use all the patience and self-control and common sense you have in dealing with him.

Just remember that he is fighting with his back to the wall, that he is torn with a thousand anxieties, that he is sunk fathoms deep into depression, and don't worry him about little things. Don't fret him by bringing up your little grievances, however just they may be. Don't add to his burden the additional load of your complaints. Don't resent his being irritable and grouchy and about as pleasant to live with as a sore-headed bear. Instead, assume a cheerfulness if you don't feel it.

Be a good sport and make your sacrifices without whining. Buck up your husband by telling him over and over again that you believe in him, and that you know he will retrieve his fortune when this crisis is over. of course, you have your own worries, too. It is hard for you to do without the things to which you have been accustomed and you, too, are anxious about the future. But the best remedy for helping ourselves is to help somebody else and in trying brace up your husband you will find that you have braced yourself up.

So, my dear lady, if I were you, shouldn't take this particular time to raise an issue about my husband working over hours or neglecting me for his business. Probably it is a necessity, and the main reason why he is working himself to death is because he wants to safeguard you from want.

You are also right In saying that a man should talk over his bustness with his wife, but you cannot force any one's confidence and some men are just constitutionally mum, and others feel it best to lock their business up in their desks and forget it when they are out of their offices.

I promised to divorce my wife and marry her. This have failed to do. In fact, as the years have gone on, I have been willing to along as we have been going. My business such that travel tensively and naturally my interesta are broad and I find many diversions while on the road. Now this girl writes me that she has decided to eliminate me from her life.

I have noticed for some time that she was getting dissatisfied, but did not take it seriously, and there 18 another man who has wanted to marry her for years. He does not know of her affair with me. Is she right In assuming this attitude toward me? When 1 think of losing her I get frantic. I have asked her many times to wait on me, that things would surely work out, and she has been mighty patient. What shall I do? T.

R. Answer--I should think that, in the gambling phrase, you would either put up or shut up. You should make good on your promises to the girl. or else let her go and not stand in the WAY of her marry: ing a man who loves her and will provide for her Nothing could be more supremely selfish than your desire to keep the girl waiting on in the vague hope that "something will happen." while you amuse yourself with The Materials for the Beautiful Decorative PLASTERING and STUCCO WORK -at theWake Theatre Furnished by BRAGG HARDWARE CO. 128 E.

Of course, you are content to let the affair run along as it is because you have all the advantages. You have the girl's love and interest in you. You have the pleasure of her society, You have everything she has to give and you don't even have to support her. You have your freedom to have other affairs with other women, and when you get tired of her you can simply drift out of the picture without any mess of divorce or alimony to pay. Fine for you.

But what about her? What about the long waiting and the hopes deferred that maketh the heart sick? What about the secrecy and shame of an illicit love that drags it in the dust for a woman and takes all of its glory from it? What about the futile jealousy that la eating her heart out when she sees the wife that you say you de- apise bearing your name and shar. ins your in society? Is there any wonder that a girl gets tired of that? Is there any wonder that she decides to eliminate that kind of lover and that kind of situation from her life?

DOROTHY DIX. 66I Don't Want To Go Back" The other day a lady said to us: "I was reared in County, in the town of My father and mother are buried there. But I am located permanently here, and I don't want to go back to the old place to be buried; the cemetery is all run down; there is no provision for permanent care; and still I don't want to be separated from my people. How much would it cost to have them brought to Montlawn?" When we told her how easily, reverently and inexpensively this could be accomplished, she was astonished and gratified. Naturally, many are deriving great comfort from the fact that they can, even now, show forth in a practical, beautiful way, the constancy of their loyalty and devotion by removing their loved ones from the old, the neglected cemeteries of city, town or country, to Montlawn- beauty, peacefulness and tranquility combine to create "the ideal place of peaceful waiting."
