Germany Is
Taking More
u S. Tobacco

Washington, Aug. 15.-(AP)-An in
crease in Germany's imports of to-
bacco from the United States for the
first four months of this year, as COM
pared to 1885, was reported today by
the Commerce Department in sur
vey of tobacco markets and conditions
abroad.
German receipts of leaf tobacco
from the United States for the first
four months of this year were given
as 3,399,88 pounds. For the same pc
riod last year they were 1884, $3.50
pounds.
A decrease, however, was shown in
taking of American tobacco by Nor
way during the first quarter of 1896.
Norway's imports were 431,SO5 kilos,
as against 489,523 kilos for the first
quarter of last year. Total Norway
imports were 657, POT kilos for the first
three months of 1886, and 648,O35
kilos for that quarter last year.
The summary showed China, once a
major export market for the United
States, but now producing millions OF
pounds of tobacco annually, was be-
coming an increasing factor in Nor
way imports.

high prices. Millions of pounds flooded
the markets Thursday and Friday,

In The Sir Walter HOtels

Raleigh, Aug. 15-The biggest DEM
ocratic victory in the history OF
North Carolina will be won at the
polls in November and the Democrat
ic candidates will be elected by one
of the biggest votes in the States
history, despite the fact that the Re
publicans are going to make the big
gest effort they have ever made to
turn the State over into the Repub-
lican column, it was predicted here
today by Clyde r. Hoey, Democratic
candidate for governor, National
Committeeman Lon Folger, National
Committeewoman Beatrice Cobb and
other Democratic leaders here for the
meeting of the Democratic Executive
Committee last night.
While most of the party leaders
agree that they are going to have one
of the stiffest fights on their hands
they have had in years. due to the ex-
pected increased activity of the Re
publicans in the forthcoming cam
paign, they are confident that the
Democratic forces in the State are
likewise going to be more active than
in years and that they will present
a solid and united front to the Re
publican attacks.
G.. o. p. Centers on Roosevelt
One of the principal reasons for
the belief that the Republicans will
find the Democrats of North Carolina
solidly behind their candidates and
leaders, is the fact that a very large
part of the Republican attack is be-
ing directed against President Roose-
welt and will continue to be directed
at him rather than the State candi-
dates, throughout the campaign. And
while the Democrats in the State may
not see entirely eye to eye with re

BY CHARLES P. STEWART

Washington, Aug. 15.-This is be-
coming very difficult election year
to guess on.
At the beginning of convention
time good guessing looked like an
easy job. The best guess appeared to
be that President Roosevelt's re-elec-
ton was practically a certainty, pro-
badly by a narrower margin than in
1882 and with a reduced congressional
majority, but by and with suffi-
cheney, presidentially and congress
sionally. y
Now the indications are that Gov
ernor Landon stands a chance-only

the chances actually favor him. Per

FOR AND AGAINST
Business improvement is pro

benefiting by it are sure to be inspired
by the sentiment, Don't rock the
boat" But unemployment doesn't ma
