BABY
BIZ THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Variation on a well known theme for Baby Week. "Where did you come from Baby dear Out of the everywhere into the here" Where did you get those cheeks so pink, And those eyes of blue, can't think? Those baby ways before you were spoiled, That energy, pep disposition seldom rolledT Where did you get your curly hair? How did you know you could pull up by chair? Where did you learn to throw that smile That lightens up features every little while2 How did you learn so bitterly to cry, Or in your crib quietly to lie? Where did you learn to be such hit? You're just a natural guess that's 1t.

 Rivals Convention.
 Washington, April 28.-Recent re- ports of indications that the. big business-big finance opposition to Roosevelt was abating in its fury with belief in the probability of his reelection resulting in an increas- ing disposition to make the best of "bad business" even to plan ming horse trades with the admin istration-have brought corrobora- tive details to this writer, but no denials.
 Whatever the future of this ten- dencey among the big boys, it can be reported that Roosevelt him. self is right now as "cocky" about the outlook as he has been at any time in the last four years and that this "cockiness" spreads right down through the admins tration.
 The President has felt himself on the upgrade ever since Al Smith made that Liberty League dinner speech. He believes that even the hostile shriekS of big business are subsiding behind mounting piles of industrial profits.
 High officials in intimate touch with the private banking industry have told Roosevelt that as busi- ness improves the fears of the in-

dustrial-financial groups are sub- siding. This is the way they ex- plain it:
 The administration has stood up against the threat of printing press money and the inflationists have practically folded up.
 The imitation threat AOm ex- cess reserves seems less menac- ing the longer it exists without materializing, and the more it appears that bankers aren't eager to lend rashly and that few want to borrow.
 The imitation threat from 8 ris- ing stock market is discounted, because the Federal Reserve board has twice boosted margin requirements and it's felt that the board won't hesitate in an emer- gency to use other ways to halt a runaway boom-such as it's power to eliminate excess reserves.
 
 Spending Worry Allayed
 Worry over government spending isn't what 1t was, because govern ment itself has indicated an in- creasing concern over it. Better business means increased tax col lections and there is promise of de- creasing deficits.
 Many corporations don't want the budget "balanced too much" Government spending has gone back into bank deposits until adjusted demand deposits are now back at approximately the 1929 figure.
 The deposits are idle, but are largely in favor of large corpora tions, which finally skim off most of the profits as the government money goes round and around. REC, HOLC and FCA are now liquidating, taking in more money than they're paying out, and creat- ing profit.
 (All of which is a pretty picture drawn by important gentlemen with offices on Fifteenth street, where you'll find the Treasury and Fed eral Reserve Board quarters0
 
 Kickback for D. A. K.
 The D. A. R. seems to be another of those organizations which pro- duce boomering type attacks on the administration.
 Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, who gets very little sym- pathy around Washington, bene- fitted rather than suffered from a yarn said to have been circulated by the Pennsylvania D. A. R. re- gent to local chapters, to the ef- feet that Miss Perkins has been one Matilda Wutski, who married man named Paul Wilson in 1910. Source of the falsehood was re- vealed at the D. A. R. convention here when Mrs. William A. Becker, president general, disavowed with visible embarrassment all respon- sibility for its circulation to the chapters.

Tricks Played on G. o. P.

There's plenty of room for sus- picion that democratic leaders aren't at all impressed with the desirability of adjourning congress before the re- publican convention in Cleveland June 9. Although the more import ant republican members probably will be able to get to Cleveland, the fact that Congress is in session tends to take 8 bit of the edge off a party's political show.
 Roosevelt himself has arranged to be very much in the limelight during the c. O. P. session and anything his boys in Congress can do to take the limelight off Cleve- land will be willingly contributed. Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Incl

which he, AL Smith and Senator Wag-
ner started fighting for in New York
in 1911, even though Smith and Wag-
ner have ceased fighting proved very
telling in my opinion. There is no
doubt but that the rank and file of
the American people are still stand
ing with the President and that he is
going to be reelected by tremendous
vote"
Democratic headquarters here is go
ing to increase its activity this COM
ing week and already has three dis
trict rallies scheduled at which the
final organization plans for the COM
ing election will be made, Chairman
Winborne said. A rally embracing all
the counties in the sixth congression-
al district will be held in Burlington
at p. m. Monday night, October s.
A similar rally for the county and dis
trict leaders of the seventh congress
sional district will be held in Lum-
berton at p. M, Wednesday, Oc-
tober z, while a third rally for the
fifth congressional district leaders
will be held in Leaksville at p. m.
on Thursday, October 3.
There will be no headline speak
ers" for these rallies, but all the mem
bers of the district and county Dem
ocratic executive committee have
been asked to attend, as have the
chairmen and members of the judicial
and senatorial district executive COM
mittees, all presidents of Young Dem
ocratic Clubs, Democratic members of
all county boards of elections and all
other interested Democrats. Chair
man Winborne and Mrs. j. B. Spill
man, vice chairman; j. Ed Butler,
State president Of the Young Demo-
Gratis, and others will attend these dis
trict meetings and Chairman Win
borne will preside. .
:; "These meetings will open with
every one meeting together in a gen
eral session at which 1 will introduce
the members of the various commit
tees and their chairmen, so that every
one can get acquainted" Chairman
Winborne said. "Then I will outline
our organization plans and the gen.
eral session will be brought to a close
with a speech by the congressman
from that particular district. Then
the meeting will divide up into diff
ferent groups, the women meeting
with Mrs Spillman, the Young Dem
ocrats with Ed Butler and the county
Democratic chairman and members
with me. Then we will get down to
business in talking over conditions in
the various counties and just what
will be needed in the form of organi-
Zation to carry each county and each
precinct Democratic. We are expect
ing these county chairme and their
committee members to go back home
and organize every county down to
every precinct. And if they do that,
as we have every reason to believe
they will, there will l5e no doubt about
North Carolina going overwhelming
ly for President Roosevelt and the
Democratic ticket on November g."
Chairman Wilborne said that with
the general election, now only four
weeks away. more interest is being
shown in the campaign in every part
of the state and that he expects to
see much greater activity in behalf
of the Democratic cause in every To-
cality from now on.
