RULES SIMPSONS NAMING
OF CANDIDATES ILLEGAL

Raleigh, May raymond c.
Maxwell, executive secretary OF
the State Board of Elections, said
today the selection Of party can
didates for county offices in
Sampson county by conventions
instead of in primary elections was
illegal.
Maxwell wrote to THE chair
man of the Sampson Board Elec-
tions to inquire ''by what auth
ority" Democratic and Republican
candidates for the General AS
sembly and county offices were
selected in party conventions last
week.
The 1881 General Assembly
placed Sampson under the State
wide primary law. Only seven
North Carolina counties are ex-
empt from the primary law, Max
we'll said, and they are western
units-Alexander, Ashe, Burke,
Caldwell, Catawba, Clay and
Surry.

becoming more and more difficul,
to lay down rules and laws of ma
tional application which do not bear
unfairly upon one region or an
other. Yet the interests of numer-
Gus groups of states are so identical
that it is quite possible their inter-
ests would be better served if they
could be united into self governing
units.
RELIEF weakness
A good example of the difficulty
of running country as big as this
from any central points is found in
the administration of relief by the
Federal Government. There is no
possible way by which Washington
can be sure that its relief disburse-
ments reach only those who ar ac-
tually in need.
l talked with Harry Hopkins,
Federal Relief Administrator, not
long ago. Mr.. Hopkins is hard
working, earnest public servant. He
was surprised and resentful at the
suggestion that the local admins
tration of Federal relief was ineffi-
cient and wasteful in many cases.
The trouble, as in many other
Federal activities, is that no general
rule can be devised which will apply
with equal fairness to all kinds of
people and every locality. That is
true whether the attempt is to es-
tablish commodity prices, wages,
hours of labor, housing conditions
or even taxation on national scale.
And it's just as true no matter what
political party or group controls the
Government.

THE G. O. P. CONTEST

The contest in the Republican
Convention on the early ballots now
seems likely to be between Cover
nor Landon and Col. Knox. Col
Knox believes that he will have
three hundred votes on the frs,
ballot. Gov. Landon's friends claim
more than that for him ON the first
ballot. 1t takes sol votes to nomi-
nate. Nobody knows yet how many
votes Senator Borah will have, but
he will have good many, perhaps
200 or more. Senator Vanden-
bergh will have the SO Michigan
votes on the first ballot. The pres
ent outlook is that there will be
some votes for Senator Dickinson
The real question, however, a
political observers here see it, i:
whether the strength of these mino,
blocks of delegates will be thrown
to Landon or to Knox. Few be-
lieve that Knox can attract to him.
self enough votes to gain the nomi-
nation. Senator Borah will have
greater influence in the convention
than the number of his delegate:
might imply, and that will not bs
small. He will not throw hi.
strength to Col Knox, but he might
in order to defeat Gov. Landon
join his strength with the Knox
strength to advance Senator Van
denbergh's claim.
The Republican situation ha:
really resolved itself into a stop
Landon" movement. Whether that
movement has started too late tc
be effective is still in doubt. Some
of the experienced political observ-
ers here are drawing parallel be-
tween this Stop-Landon movement
and the Stop-Roosevelt movement
of four years ago, and are predict
