Democratic Campaign Opens in Baltimore by North Carolina Governor
Baltimore on October 24 featured a Democratic campaign gathering at the Lyric Theatre. Ex-Gov Charles B Aycock of North Carolina led the event attacking the proposed large amendment to the state constitution, arguing it would deprive white voters and praising Philadelphia radicalism as a distraction from white voters. John P Poe of Norfolk also spoke, offering remarks on the amendment. Earlier, in Vienna, Rev J W Morris received a church call to succeed Dr Carl W Grammer at Christ Episcopal Church. In Norfolk, Captain H H Hickman of tug Margaret faced a preliminary hearing after an assault charge against Mateomas Harvey, who remains in critical condition. George Duffin of Boyds, Md, arrested in Pennsylvania for assault on John T Wire, will be brought to Rockville for trial.
