of the Democratic, the party in endorsement the of State who Former Senator Marion Butler by members of their own family for secretary of agriculture in President-Elect Harding's cabinet are decidedly the maddest folks imaginable. Nothing in recent years has so ruffled the countenances of Democracy's warhorses in North Carolina as these prominent Democrats who fixed their signatures to the Butler urge which will be presented to Mr. Harding. The psychology of such action is irritating if not exasperating. The accredited leaders of the party in North Carolina do not attempt to understand what prompted the action of their low partisans and they are saying so.

State Chairman Thos. D. Warren, of New Bern, who is in the city this week, frankly dislikes the idea of Democratic names appearing on a recommendation of Republican Marion Butler. If Senator Harding really wants to punish North Carolina for to go with the Republican landslide this year he knows of no better way than to elevate Mr. Butler to the cabinet.

That's how near the State chairman comes to endorsing Mr. Butler. Judge George P. Pell, member of the State Corporation Commission, easily sees red when thinking about Mr. Butler and the "prominent" DemFranks.

The opposition to the former senator is well known. His activity while in the Senate, when he appeared against the State in the repudiated bonds case, will not be by the Democrats who haven't given him their endorsement. Whether Mr. Harding elevates the gentleman from Sampson to his cabinet or not it is apparent that the Democrats have pulled a boner in endorsing Mr. Butler.

This will be exemplified several months preceding the next general election in North Carolina when Mr. Butler gets in fight against his political enemies, the Democrats. The State Corporation Commission this morning heard representatives of the railroads as to the existence of ocrats who have endorsed him. If the list that comes to Raleigh is correct Walter Clark, chief justice of the Supreme Court; J. Bryan Grimes, secretary of state; W.

A. Graham, commissioner of agriculture; W. A. Hoke, associate justice; J. Y.

Joyner, er State superintendent, and others have signed the Butler endorsement. Formidable List. This list is formidable and all are lifelong Democrats but on the other side of the who have not and will not urge Mr. Butler's appointment--there appear the names governor and governor-elect, Bickett and Morrison, Chairman Warren, Commissioner A. J.

Maxwell, Congressman Clyde Hoey and Congressman Ed Pou, Attorney-General J. S. Manning; Associate Justices Brown, Allen and Walker; 0. Max Gardner; Col. Jas.

R. Young, insurance commissioner; M. L. Shipman, commissioner of labor and printing, and divers other leaders in the Democratic undue discrimination against interstate passenger rates in North Carolina. An examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commission appeared 4 at the hearing and will make his report to the national commission.

Railways charging that the intrastate passenger rate of three cents in North Carolina is discriminatory while the through rate is three and sixtenths cents are asking that this difference be wiped out, and the national commission concurs. The State commission cannot make the change because the legislators at the special session of the 1920 general assembly fixed by statute the State rate of three cents. Members of the State commission understand that the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered all fares increased to 3.6 cents, but they were prevented by law from interfering. So the national commission says the fares will be three and six-tenths cents; the State legislature says it will be only three cents. The case may gO to the United States Supreme Court for settlement or it may be adjusted by Federal interference outside of the courts, which is altogether likely.

It is believed the fire started among wicker baby carriages in the lower hall.

Edmonton, Nov. The phantom herd of the North has been found. For years a tradition of a great herd of buffalo somewhere in the Mackenzie River basin has lingered among the fur posts. Indians told of sighting it blackening the wild pastures of remote valleys. No white men had seen it.

But. trappers had chanced upon its trampled trails and 10 years ago two mighty bulls, that had straggled far from their fellows, were killed. F. H. Kitto, engineer of the Natural Resources Branch of the Department of the Interior, who has returned from five months of explorations in the Mackenzie country, reports that he saw the herd and estimates it at 1,000 head.

He received reports, he says; from Indians that another herd equally as large exists farther. north. Canada has the largest bison herd in the world the national park at numbered 4,335. With the exception Wainwright, On January 1, it of 90 animals that still live in untamed freedom in the northern fastnesses of Yellowstone Park, the Mackenzie River herds are the only wild buffalo left on the continent.

office holders who are booming Marion Republican leader, for secretary. of agriculture in the Harding cabinet are going to have the time of their lives in staving off defeat when election years roll around because Democratic voters are going to see to it that the endorsers of "Mary Ann" are sidetracked in the primaries. This is the threat that is being openly made at the capital today by Democrats who are jealous of their record and the party. From a personal viewpoint they are not getting mad with their colleagues for supporting Mr. Butler but the line is drawn in political circles, and those Democrats who have not and will never endorse the former United States senator love their party more than they do folks who, they say, have "gone out of the Democratic path to make asses of I themselves." Plain talking is the rage with them.

W. F. McCulloch, who is an appointee of Governor Bickett as cashier of the State's prison and who will not be ousted by Governor Morrison, speaks for publication gladly. "Any Democrat who endorses Marion Butler will not receive my support for anything," Mr. McCulloch declares.

But he will do his fighting in the primaries. Mr. McCulloch is not a stranger in the Democratic fold, for he has been working long and hard for the party and is a power in the Cape Fear section. Then there are scores of Democrats who are not afraid to say that they dislike the Butler endorsement by Democrats. M.

L. Shipman, commissioner of labor and printing; Insurance Commissioner-Elect Stacy Wade, Col. Jas. R. Young and about all other prominent Democrats can be depended upon.

For years there has been an agitation amongst the Democrats to "clean out" the capitol. This meant, of course, that Major W. A. Graham, Bryan Grimes and Ben R. Lacy, commissioner of agriculture, secretary of state and State treasurer, should be retired to private life, and the long tenure of these three, may be brought to an end four years hence because each and every one appear to have signed the endorsement of Mr.

Butler. Commissioner Graham may expect to be pestered with opposition, for he not only endorsed Mr. Butler but is sending to his friends a signed letter urging the appointment. The commissioner says that he dislikes Butler, the politician, but finds no fault with Butler, the farmer. This only makes madder Democrats who are not on the list of signers.

Testifying before Examiner Thos. P. Healey, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, here yesterday H. F. Cary, general passenger agent of the Southern, said that the railroads are losing six-tenths of a cent per mile on all intrastate passenger business in North Carolina as well as losing a considerable amount of money by reason of interstate passengers buying passage to the State line at three cents and then buying tickets for the remainder of their trip.

The hearing was held so that the railways could be given an opportunity to establish the existence of undue discrimination against interstate by intrastate fares in North Carolina. While all of the carriers operating in North Carolina were represented at the hearing by their officials or attorneys Mr. Cary was the principal witness. All of the states in the Southern group, he said, had put into effect the passenger fares with the exception of North and South Carolina and Louisiana, the result being that the other states are discrim-' inated against because of the lower fares charged passengers of these three states. Such al condition was represented as discriminatory and as causing financial losses to the carriers and demoralizing the entire passenger rate structure.

The evidence will be presented to the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington and a ruling made later. A conditional pardon has been granted by Governor Bickett to Jack Smith, Northampton County man, convicted at the August, 1916 term of Superior Court and sentenced to seven years in the State's prison for manslaughter. The prisoner has made a model prisoner and the judge, solicitor and county officials of Halifax County petitioned for the pardon. Membership in the State Teachers' Assembly today passed the 8,000 mark, according to an announcement here by A. T.

Allen, of the executive I committee. This number represents more than 50. per cent. of the teachers in North Carolina. A HORSELESS PROGRAM FOR THANKSGIVING DAY.
