paign to elect wet senator's and con-
gressmcn. It is not unlikely that
their hand will be revealed in the
North Dakota situation where an eff
fort will be made to classify the vari-
Gus candidates for United States
senate and congress.
On the Democratic ballot, Lanier,
Murphy and Lynch are decidedly
wet. They not only stand upon the
Chicago platform of their party as
did McAdoo, but they have voiced
strong personal convictions on the
liquor issue.
AS for the Republican candidates,
the lines are not so decidedly drawn.
Senator G. P. Nye has voted with
the drys consistently and with that
faction he doubtless is willing to cast
his political fortunes. The same is
true of Congressman Sinclair. Will
liam Lemke Of Fargo, who won nomi-
nation on most dramatic appeal for
farm relief, has stated his position
definitely. He is for resubmission of
the question, declaring it is not nee
eSsarily party issue but one that
can be settled at a special election
held under non or bipartisan aus
pieces. Neither the vets or the drys
can find so much that is wrong with
that. OF course the militant drys
are against submission in any shape
or form. They want to retain all
liquor legislation in status quo if
they cannot tighten it up even more.
They want to travel in but one di-
rection. More prohibition is their
slogan.
California has always been close
state on the liquor issue. 1t voted
against the repeal of the Wright
state enforcement act 565,S75 to 5O2,-
258. In 1922, it approved a state
bone-dry act. That vote was, for,
445,O76; against, 4l1,113. These are
sufficient indication how evenly the
state is divided
McAdoo's managers early in the
campaign feared the dry sentiment
Of Southern California. It's popula-
ton is largely made up of retired
farmers and city folk from such dry
states as Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
North Dakota and Minnesota. The
Tubbs' vote is indicative that there
is shift in public opinion and if the
California electorate has not gone
totally wet, it approves a resubmis-
sion anyway.
Here in North Dakota the dry adj
vocates are buckling on their armor
and going out to do battle against
any drive to repeal prohibition which
was written into the constitution at
the time Of statehood and to date
has Withstood some very lusty at
tacks. A mass meeting has been
called at Fargo to raise campaign
funds and decide upon an effective
canvass of the state.
The vets are working like beavers,
too. National assistance will prob
ably be given. Jouett Shouse, once
a Democratic leader, is devoting his
energies to bringing about repeal of
the Eighteenth amendment. The Du-
points and the Rockefellers are also
interested in repeal so that the
movement should not lack effective
financing.

to this, too, is that, as it is now,

Paul G. Graham
durham HERALD

The sudden death Of Paul c.
Graham was a shock to this city.
He had been engaged in the poll
tical campaign, being Demo
cratic nominee for the house of
representatives, and as far as
was known, was in his usual
health up to the time he was IA
tally stricken.
Judge Graham, as he was gen
orally known, had long been a
quiet but influential figure in the
affairs Of the city. For many
years he was judge Of the re-
corder's court, and won the es-
TEEN Of both lawyers and laymen
by his able manner Of discharg-
ing the duties Of that office. In
fact, he was considered qualified
above the average for a position
on the superior court Bench. In
the last primary, he led the four
cOrnered race for nomination for
the house Of representatives.
This revealed the high degree Of
confidence the people Of this city
and county had in his ability and
integrity. He was not the type
Of man to be involved in bitter
controversies. He was quiet, un-
assuming, yet Of strong convic-
tions on public matters.

as a Senator As much as he will
enjoy being one. The worst thing
he has done so far is TO declare
himself in favor of the bonus
grab. This makes me sad.
Roosevelt said in one Of his
campaign speeches that he hoped
to cut the federal budget by 25
per cent. 1t was loose talk. He
can't do it.
The four-bilIion-dollar budget
is made up about as follows !:
public debt, s1,136.700, 900; vet
Grams. 1928, 900, 900; public
works, 1888. 100, 900; Army and
Navy, seas, 800. 900; administra-
ton and all other expenses.
s678,098, 900.
Obviously, the debt service
interest and sinking fund pay
ments fixed by statute-cannot
be reduced. Of course handouts
TO veterans ought to be reduced,
but Roosevelt has given no indi-
cation that he expects to make
any material reduction there. A
substantial reduction in the out
lay for the Army is generally
admitted, by the spokesman Of
both parties, to be beyond the
realm Of practicability. Roose-
Welt has never been in favor Of
any reduction in the Navy until
international disarmament is as
sured, and-international dlsarm-
ament remains a dream. Ex-
penditures for public works
might be reduced a little; bat
even a Slight reduction is i'm
probable, because public works
are an important contribution Of
the government TO the relief of
unemployment; both parties
have advocated liberal expendi-
lures upon public works. There
remains the $678,098, 900 for ad-
ministration and all other ex-
penses. But this is only 17.2
per cent Of the total budget. And
where are the cuts to be? It has
been easy, in the campaign for
the Democrats to censure the Re-
publicans for extravaganza, but
it's going 10 be another story
