LANDON SEEMS IN
LEAD FOR G. 0. P.
But Borah and Colonel
Knox Are Close Behind
for 1896 Nomination
by CHARLES T. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Jan. Ex-Governor Alf
Landon of Kansas still seems to me,
Judging from chats with many i'll
fluential Republicans, to lead the field
for the G. o. p. presidential nomina-
ton.
If he leads it, he leads it by only
nose, however,
Senator William e. Borah is right
after him. and Col. Frank Knox, Chi
cage publisher, follows closely.
Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg is
regarded as the likeliest compromise,
if the foremost trio offset one an
other. But there are those who say
that Senator L. J. Dickinson has GER
tain claims to consideration, as the
most consistent amti-New Dealer in
Congress. Few Republican politicians
like to recognize former resident
Hoover as possible choice. Others
mentioned earlier in the pre-cOnven-
ton campaign, now seldom are re-
ferred to.
NOT EONUGH-YET
G.. o. P. calculators reckon that
with good management, their party
can carry all of New England, New
Jersey 6IlQ OCldWdAC Z, Ahoy NOuiAC ~
Pennsylvania as still more emphati-
cally in the bag. They rate New York
Ohio and Indiana as $3.50; Michigan
as safely Republican.
This isn't enough: the farther west
must be formidably broken into, ever
if the Republican candidate swings
all of the doubtful more easterly
states.
Strategists agree that Borah would
be as strong standard bearer as
could be picked, as to the west, but
they are afraid the east wouldn't take
to him-New York particularly; pro
badly Jersey, Delaware, and Massach-
setts. The truth is that he isn't sc
very radical, but he has that reputa

By =. u. HAS ILL
Raleigh. Jan. S0--Fire insurance
rates in North Carolina are lower than
in any Of the southern states, with IN
dications that they may go even lower
than the 1885 fire loss figures become
available, Commissioner of Insurance
Dan c. Boney said today. The aver
age rate for North Carolina in 1884
was Is cents while in South Carolina
the average rate was 80 cents, in Ten
nessee 81 cents, Virginia 81 cents,
Florida and Georgia $1.01, Alabama
$1O3 and Mississippi $1.36, Boney
pointed out.
eff the fire insurance rates could be
based on an average of only two or
three years, the rate for North Caro-
lima would be lower yet" Boney said.
"But for years fire Insurance rates
have been based on the average loss
es in periods of five years In this
manner, high loss years are Jumped
in with low loss years and an average
rate determined.
IF the North Carolina fire insur-
ance rate should be based only on the
last two years for which figures are
available, or 1888 and 1884. the rate
would be very low because the losses
were very low in these years or only
55.4 per cent and 43.1 per cent, re-
spectively. But the losses in 1880,
1881 and 1882 were unusually high,
amounting to 75.4, 824 and 81.8 per
cent of the premiums paid. SO when
averaged in with the two recent

Washington, Jan. 30.-(AP)-The

Provision is made in specifca-
tions for bids to be opened by the
State Highway Department in Do
yer at 2 o'clock, standard time, on
June "a, for the completion of the
Carr Road Cutoff started by The
.CWA nearly three years ago but
not finished. Grading for the road
and building of bridge over the
Shellpot Creek were completed and
work on another bridge started
nearly three years ago when CWA
funds for the work became ex-
hausted. The present specifications
provide for completion of the
road. It will run from the west
side of the Washington Street ex-
tension, starting north of the Ship
ley Road, run through property
acquired by the park board, part
of Bringhursts woods, up to the
present Carr Road. It will cross
Marsh Road, and join the present
Carr Road just short distance
east of the B. & o. Railroad cross
ing of Carr Road. The new road
will result in the eventual elimina-
tion of the Carr Road railroad
crossing east of Carrcroft. When
completed, the road will also result
in closing a section of the Old
Powder Mill Road, which was used
many years ago in he transporta-
tion of powder from an old mill To-
Icated in the woods just west Of
Carr Road and north of Carrcoft.

STOP SAVING SECONDS AND LOSING lives

a number of the lots had been sold
when the Board was aagin asked
to open the street, but at the same
time an earnest remonstrance was
made aaginst it. While the matter
was in the hands of the Board, and
yet undecided, another ordinance
was passed widening Church street
and extending it through to Glen
wood Avenue. AS soon as this was
known most of those who had ask
ed for the opening of Walnut
street Joined the remonstrants and
virtually left the petition a blank.
And yet in spite of this, and in
spite of the fact that the almost
universal sentiment is opposed to
it, the board at its last meeting di-
rected the opening of this street.
1t will be an injury TO the square
now being built up with handsome
houses, while it will be both a
waste of land and unnecessary ex-
penditure of taxes. There is also,
we understand, another PROPOSE
tion in contemplation, namely, to
extend South street through to a
point where it will intersect Mon
rovia street, running south from
the lower point of "Whopping,"
and widen the latter to a respect
able width. This will open up a
sufficient quantity of new land SO
that all classes and condition of
our people can have an opportun-
ity and place to provide themselves
with homes.
