.HOEY LEADS POLL
OF VANCE COUNTY
State Magazines First Re-
turns Published in This
Weeks Issue

First returns from the political
straw vote being taken by The State,
Carl Goerch's weekly magazine pub
lished in Raleigh, are from Vance and
Franklin counties, and show Clyde r.
Hoey leading in Vance by a fairly
comfortable margin and Dr. Ralph
Mcdonald almost three-to-one ahead
of the entire field in Franklin
Mr. Goerch was here. last Saturday
distributing postal cards, which he
asked the recipients to fill out and re-
turn, with no signature of their own
on the card. He said the cards were
distributed here to men and women in
all walks of life, but that he thought
most of them went into the hands of
farmers.
Here's the tabulation for Vance out
of 1874 votes counted:
Hoey, IS; A. H. Graham, As: DR.. Nc
Donald, 40; John A. McRae, 4.
Of the 40 votes tabulated from
Franklin county, mostly in Franklin
ton, the results showed:
DR.. Mcdonald, SO; Hoey, z; Ora
ham, 4; McRae, 2.
The State reported that on one of
the cards from Henderson was this
notation: "The present governor dou-
ble-crossed the people in regards to
the sales tax, so will give Mcdonald
a chance. We don't expect anything
else from the administration-appr
candidates."
On another card from Henderson
was this: II am for Hoey because Of
his service to the party. This is pro-
badly his last chance to be a can
didate, SO I will vote for him."
It was stated that the predominance
of Mcdonald in Franklin county pro-
badly was due to his close associa-
ton with Willie Lee Lumpkin, long
time legislator from that county.

c.. O. P. Bitterness
To FDR Explained
(COntirued from rage One.)

Republicans cannot prevent the Presi-
dent from filling with New Dealer.
Comptroller General John r. McCarl,
staunch Republican, automatically
goes out of office on June 80. He then
will have served for Is years. The
comptroller general is not eligible for
reappointment because of his 15-year
term-and McCarl would not be reap
pointed even if he were eligible.
Next to the Supreme Court, McCarl
has vitated more New Deal measures
than anybody else. He is idolized by
the Republicans.
The Republicans would like to
have law forcing his reappointment,
says some foolish Washington writer
How-with the Democrats heavily in
the majority in Congress?
Gossip had it that Senator Pat Har-
rison of Mississippi would be given
the post The usually genial chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee in
dignantly denied however, thath in
tended giving up his race in Missis-
sippi for denomination Nantamount to
re-election).
Harrison has the opposition of the
Senator Theodore Bilbo group. The
group could have defeated Pat if
Huey Long had lived. Pat has fight
ing chance now. He will know by
June. He may wind UP as comptroller
general If he goes down, it will be
fighting furiously.
If he does not desire the comptrol-
lership, the belief exists that Repres-
entative Clifton A. Woodrum, of Vir-
ginia, will get the post.
COST OF STRIKE
Stockholders often wonder why cor
porations get into such bitter labor
controversies-and then compromise
anyway.
One company-The National Biscuit
Company-has set forth what labor
troubles" cost it last year. The sum
was $724, 451, or II cents a share. Ad-
ded to that were loss of markets
when production was stopped, and
loss of pay to workers. Entire COM
munities in which plants are situat-
ed are affected.
THOUSANDS HELD
Some idea of the number of poll
teal prisoners held in dictator coun-
tries may be gained by the number
turned loose in Spain when the con-
servative government was overthrow
in the recent election-30,O0
Spain is a small country compared
to Germany and Italy, to say nothing
of Austria, Roumania, and the Soviet
Union. How many tens of thousands
of liberals or just plain political OPP
ponents are held in those countries?
Censorship prevents our even hearing
of their arrests.

Assembly to convene itself in special
session if Governor Talmadge persists
in refusing to call it back, as a result
of his dictatorhip coup. in which he
ha ousted the State treasurer and at
tempted to seize control of State

Resentment Toward TaImadgc.
Because of the resentment against
Talmadges action, it was reported
here today that a movement is under
way FOR the Georgia legislature to con
vene itself by petition of a majority
Of both houses, in order to impeach
Talmadge and get it's affairs straight
ened out. If such a session meets, it
would then be possible for it to enact

thus would leave North Carolina as

derstood all the other states are ready
and willing to join such pact and to

as their legislatures are now in ses-

If the Georgia legislature should
meet and agree to a tobacco pact, it

to call the North Carolina legislature
into special session to take similar
action.

There notably are five Republican
presidential aspirants.
Borah, Landon, Knox, Vandenberg
and Dickinson.
Landon, Knox, Vandenberg and
Dickinson have been reasonable po-
lite contenders among themselves.
They will fight, but they will fight ac-
cording to Queensbury rules, with no
ill-feeling, each for any of the others.
Borah is an independent scrapper.
However, if named, there is no pros
pect that orthodox Republicanism will
bolt him.
There are other odds and ends Of

are not taken seriously.
In short, though there will be a
Cleveland contest, signs are that it
will not be ugly.

floor guarantees something more
than a mere sham combat among the

AL will not win; Roosevelt will be
renominated.

Despite the fact that 10 per cent
Of the total population Of the

turns-and that's considered a
pretty good record-the municipal
authorities expect to increase the
number Of returns filed next year
without adding to the already han
dicapped staff.
Deputy Tax Assessor Charles
Russell pointed out that next year
the income tax returns will be
thrown open to the small staff
which he now directs in getting
those eligible for the tax to come
through"
Last year, Mr.. Russell said. a
total of $4,000 returns were filed.
Under the law the tax is $1.50
per 500 on tangible personal
property and so cents per 500 on
intangible property.
Enforcement Of the failure to
file personal tax returns, Mr.. Rus
sell added resulted In 375 man
