 Already it has been un- derstood that the LaFollet- tes have no kind of feelings for the Republicans, State Senator Nelson and form CT State Senator Gettel- man, who asked Senator Borah to enter the Wiscon- sin lists. The incident ap- parently brings them clos CT toward the Roosevelt side of the line in the 1886 election. Thus, it creates a situation by which the little block of United Stat es- senate progessiVes may walk in different directions again this year,
 Senator Norris, who shar es with Borah the unoffi- cial deanship of senate pro gressiVes, has made known at least a tentative inten- tion to support MT. Roose- welt. Too, the Nebraskan is close to Senator LaFollette. On the other hand, such progressive leaders as Sen- ators Frazier and Nye have indicated a friendly feeling toward Borah as a Repub- lien standard bearer.
 At all odds, whatever happens in Wisconsin will be particularly watched not alone because of the Borah issue. The state holds it's preferential presi- dential primaries on April at a very early stage an- tedated only by the New Hampshire primary 2lec- tions which fall on March 10. Thus, the outcome in Wisconsin may have strong psychological as well as material importan- ce.

Chance an evil spirit sent us to the State

ginning of that work. under the caption, Contrast

out-done words:
"The record of the Hoover administration in
Washington is in striking contrast with the record
of faithful public service in North Carolina In
stead of economizing to meet unprecedented con-
ditions, the Hoover administration has gone for
ward with progressive extravaganza :. This cost

greater than in any peace-time year in the history
of the country It's time for new hand at the
helm of government in Washington
We got it; and the contrast still is striking The
State OF North Carolina has continued, in some
ways with the help of and in some ways despite
the caJolery of the New Deal, to stick to it's simple
knitting. Its mammoth debt has come down 80
millions OF dollars in the last five years But in
Washington, extravaganza has given way to prodi-
gality. The sky is the limit and the mere 81 bill
lions which Mr.. Hoover spent is only little more
than half of the 81 billions which Mr.. Roosevelt
and the 74th congress elaborated in spending.
But instead of calling again and more .vocifer-

MR. ROOSEVELT ON TAXES

October 49, 1882, Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
campaigning for the presidency, said:
"Quite apart from every mans own tax assess
ment, that burden (heavy taxation) lis brake
on any return to normal business activity. Taxes
are paid in the sweat of every man who labors be-
cause they are burden on production and can be
paid only by production.
eff excessive they reflected in idle factories,
tax-sold farms and hence in the hordes of the hum
cry tramping the streets and seeking jobs in vain.
"Our workers may never see tax bill, but they
paw in deduction from wages in increased cost of
what they buy, or, now, in broad cessation OF
employment. There is not an unemployed man
there is not struggling farmer-whose interest in
the subject is not direct and VITAL
Mr. Roosevelt and The News and Courier stood
on the same platform four years ago with respect
to taxation The News and Courier is still upon
that platform 1t has emphasized that whether or
not worker sees tax BILL his interest in taxes is
direct and VITAL
The News and Courier still insists that heavy
taxation is brake upon trade and business. Mr.
Roosevelt has gone far from that. At his urging
the congress has greatly increased the burden OF
maintaining the federal government. One-third OF
the cost latterly is to be passed on to the next
generation for government in Washington is
spending far more than it collects.
Government expenditures from Washington to
Wilson (17S9 to 1879 totalled $24,521 ,s43,OOO
In this Roosevelt administration including the cur
rent estimate, the cost of the federal government
| is $24,2O6, $4,000 This extraordinary perform
ance has been wrought in time of peace 1t is plain
that the New Deal does not do as it promises. 1t
chooses to conceal from its left hand what its right
hand was doing four years ago.-Charleston News

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MUCH, MORE, MOST

The most disturbing thing about the second SEES
sion of the 74th congress, which passed into MS
tory shortly after midnight Saturday, was It's COM
nete failure to curb government spending. Not
only so. but it actually increased appropriations py
cononarison with the first session Of that congress-.
Total appropriations for the first session, which
closed in August of last year, were S9,579,15o,-
$40 as against &c. 6,430,S63 for the second SEES
Sion. In other words, the 74th congress voted to
disburse no less than $19,296, 1888 from the
public treasury, and this staggering figure does not
include contract authorizations for the army, navy
and other departments or unexpended funds ap-
propriated by previous congresses, which were re-
appropriated
While we have always felt that lavish govern
mont spending was desirable when the country was
waIIowing in the trough of the depression, we are
;,s+ &c firmly convinced that retrenchment has now
become urgently necessary. The colossal sums dis
bursed at every congressional session Will oahk-
rupt the federal government, if the process IS con-
tinued much longer.
President Roosevelt declared in his campaign
four wears ago that the government was headeu
toward bankruptcy, because of the expenditures
rrder President Hoover. If that was true then,
how much more true it is now! Yet neither Mr..
Roosevelt nor congress has evidenced any desire
70 halt the trend. The 74th congress appropriated
more money than any congress in American his
tory not excluding the World war congress.
Hence it will be up to the 18th congress, which
.convenes next January, to attack this problem
forthrightly and fearlessy Further temporizing IS
ont of the question. The credit of the federal gov
eminent is bound to crack under the strain of such
continued spending as has been going forward for
the mast three years Efforts toward curtailment
ho,,o consisted thus far of conversation and little
else.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

vote for him if they haven't any

mustn't have any policies. You
mustn't be for the sales tax or
against it or for liquor OF against
it or anything like that. Just be
for the people and against the

strong national trend toward
let's say, Roosevelt.
T FRANK HANLY of Indiana,
- and Ira Landrith of Massa-
chusetts, ran on the Prohibition
party ticket in 1916 and polled
100000 votes.
You may remember that the is
sue hung in the balance for three
days because of a close contest in
California, which finally by 3773
votes. gave her 13 electoral votes
to Woodrow Wilson and elected
him over Charles Evans Hughes,
now chief justice, by an electoral
total of PIT to 254.
The Prohibition party in Cali
fornia polled nearly $4,000 popular
votes. If there had been no Pro-
hibition ticket and Hughes could
have won four out of every seven
of those dry voters, Wilson would
not have been president. There
was good reasca for believing
that the drys would have gone for
Hughes. .-.
The contest was close in all re-
spects. Wilson's popular vote was
only 9,l29,O0o as compared with
8,538,00O for Hughes. The moral,
is that if there's any neck and neck
finish aspect to 1886, Lemke is
likely to elect Landon over Roose-
welt.
in 1924 the late Senator "old
Bob" LaFollette rolled up near
-ly 100000 third party votes and
John w. Davis poHed 1885, 900

for governor against the state ma
chine candidate, whom | shall call
Grafton. Since Galahad had
neither money nor organization,
his campaign at first looked like
joke. But it was not long I'M
til the old guard-always with an
eye to the windward and an ear
to the ground-began ito sit UP
and take notice. They went into
a huddle.
"This fellow Galahad is gath
ering strength" they said. "He is
capitalizing on the fact that lot
of folks in this state are so sick
of US that they would vote for the
devil if he came out against us.
If things go on as they have start
ed, this fellow may sweep the
state, and do just what he says he
is going to do-clean up the party
and kick all the boys out of their
fat jobs.
We have got to split Galahad's
vote or we may not get our man
Grafton elected no matter how
much we fix the ballots"
So the old guard hunted around
for a suitable person to split
Galahad's vote.

you. You'd like to be governor
in 1870, wouldn't you?"
The trick worked. In the big
gest vote for governor the state
had ever cast, Galahad got 1884,
600; Gordon, 125, 900; while Graf
ton, the state machine candidate.
got $4,000. 1t is easy to see that
if Galahad had received the 125,-
600 votes which Gordon took away
from him, he would have beat the
sox off Grafton.
There are plenty of suspicious
persons who believe that Galahad
beat Grafton anyhow--in spite of
the fact that the "official count"
says he didn't.

PHILADELPHIA - Congressman
: William Lemke's third party
candidacy hangs vaguely like a
cloud over the Democratic conven-
ton. Not too black, nor too low,
at least as yet, but conspicuous
enough to cause politicians to ask
one another whether it is going to
rain and. if so, how hard.
The "Union Party" holds pos
sibility of disaster for the Demo-
Gratis. How imminent or how re-
mote that possibility may be will
be matter of argument until the
campaign gets under way and one
can begin to estimate the extent
to which Lemke, with the support
of Father Coughlin and his appeal
to followers of DR.. Townsend and
the late Huey Long, is going places
and in which direction. S..
THE question here, where it is
commonly believed Roosevelt
has a definite edge on Landon, is
whether Lemke could draw off
sufficient votes in enough states
to give Lapdon the election.
That brings up the all-important
question: How close is the contest
between Roosevelt and Landon,
other things being equal. going to
be? The answer to that one is
that nobody knows. "a.
Anyone will comprehend the
situation who looks at the election
results in two previous years, 1916
and 1924. In the first instance it
will be seen how a few thousand
Lenke votes in single state
/ might decide whether Roosevelt or
Landon was to be the next presi-
dent if the race were close.

AN oDIoUS DEAL GETS BACK INTO

aksa gander at the financial affairs of the

The evidence dug up was presented to

One of these. men, state legislator

The Roosevelt administration.
Time, which heals all wounds, seemed
to se healing the wounds these rival out
fits had inflfted on each other, and all was
peaceful along the lower Mississippi.
Md so, finally, the remaining income
tax indictments were dismissed by the gov
eminent.
This brought a little furry of protest.
Nine members of the grand jury which had
voted the indictments objected. The head
of IN old anti-Long citizens committee
wrote letters of protest. The government
replied blandly that these cases were toe
weak to bring to trial and that their dis,
missal was purely a. routine matter, having
no connection with politics. .
TIE governments explanation may be
perfectly correct, but one must admit tina
the ease does have an unwholesqme smell
TIE ordinary citizen could hardly b'
blamed for suspecting that the Indictment
originally were brought as a reprisa
against Senator Long for his anti-adfmsrlnlIs'
traton acts, and that they were finally
dismissed as part of deal which brough
