THE COP PROBLEM

Republican politicians studing
these figures are, naturally, more
concerned about the agricultural
West than about the industrial
East. The Republicans, however,
must carry New York to win,
while Mi. Roosevelt Gold belsct4
ed without it if he could carry
three OF four of the larger Middle
Western states in addition to those
of which he seems to be assured.
The nominations for President
and Vice-President and the franz
ing of the Republican platform
will be done with a constant eye on
these figures. The Party's candi-
dates must be men who have the
best apparent chance of winning
the support of voters in the agrl-
cultural states without being often
sive to- the voters of the Eastern
industrial states, while the plat
form must be progressive enough
to please the agrarian West with
out being radical enough to offend
the conservative East.
The situation is complicated by
the fact that all the recent and
most accurate polls of political
opinion indicates that the Presi-
dents greatest strength is in the
big cities and the western farming
districts. Nobody is taking yet
about any possibility of any Of the
states of the "Solid South" going
Republican.

The political pot boils with in
creasing vigor as convention time
approaches. Discussion is shifting
from the question as to who will
be the Republican candidate toward
his chances Of election, whoever
he may be. Gov. Landon's friends
are claiming that the defeat of the
Hearst Merriam effort to elect
Landon-instructed delegates in Cal
ifornia has helped the Kansas Gov
errors chances. Opinions differ
sharply on that. The view is held
by some experienced observers that
the result Of the California pr
maries brings Mr.. Hoover more
strongly into the convention pic
ture, not so much as a candidate
as an influence, and Mr.. Hoover's
influence, will be against Gov.
Landon's nomination.
Whomever the Republicans may
nominate, he will have to carry IS
doubtful states, if the political OBJ
servers are right. The best of these
give MI. Roosevelt 24S electoral
votes from the states which are re-

takes 266 electoral votes to carry
the election. There are I'll cleo

are retarded as doubtful. In some
of these states the shift of only a
few thousand votes from the Dem

ed with 1882, would suffice to car

Court Declares
The Gufffey Coal
Act Is Invalid

Misunderstanding s to ;,
the Supreme Court Monday brand
ed unconstitutional the Gufey act,
intended to regulate wages and
hours and fix prices in the soft coal
industry and swept it out of the
statute books as it did NRA and
AAA.
Justices Cardozo, Brandeis and
Stone sharply dissented from the
sweeping majority ruling that the
price regulation structure must fall
with the invalidated labor sections.
Chief Justice Hughes agreed with
the majority in a separate opinion
that the wage and hour sections
were unconstitutional, but disa-
greed on price fixing.
So broad was the opinion hold
ing the Gufey act to be an inva-
sion of State powers that, pending
study, high new dealers for the
most part reserved comment on
their future course.
There was immediate speculation
but no answer, as to whether the
decision would revive talk Of a
constitutional amendment in this,
a campaign year.
Word of the courts ruling
quickly was rslayed TO the White
House, but il drew no fnrs11ediare
statement from the President, who
less than a year ago, urged Con-
gress to pass the law regardless of
any reasonable doubts it might
have as to its constitutionality.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine workers, hit back at
the court. In a terse statement he
said:
sIt is a sad commentary upon
our form of government when
every decision of the Suprem.
Court seems designed to fatten
capital and starve and destroy la
bor."
Members of the National Coal
Commission and Senator Gufey,
Democrat of Pennsylvania, author
of the act, were silent. But from
coal producers came conflicting
predictions as to the effect of the
decision on the industry.

Hoey to Speak
Tuesday Night

Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, candidate
for Governor of North Carolina in
the Democratic Primary to be held
June 9Th, will speak to the citi-
zens of Salisbury and Rowan
County on Tuesday evening, May
10Th, at 5 o'clock in the county
courthouse.
The public is invited to hear Mr..
Hoey discuss the issues OF tb~ cam
paign. Because of Mr.. Hoey's
violent opposition to any further
taxes on land, a large number OF
farmers and home owners are ex-
pected to attend the speaking.
Mr.. Hoey, considered n Of the
best orators of the state, will prob
ably speak his mind freely as to the
platform upon which his oppo-
nents are running. During his re-
cent tour of the eastern part of the
state, he has been discussing DR..
Ralph M Donald's position on the
sales tax during the campaign in
contrast with his recorded voting
during his term as a legislator from
Forsyth county. DR.. Mcdonald,
who would remove the sales tax
altogether, is said to have voted
for the tax in several instances
while serving as a legislator.
1t is further the claim of Mr.
Hoey that his opponent has not
voted in North Carolina prior to
1882, at which time his name wa
on the ticket.
From time to time, especially in
recent days, Mr.. Hoey has gained
ground in his race for governor OF
North Carolina, by stating that he
does not favor placing any further
tax on land. This is said to have
turned many votes of farmers OF
the state to him and his continued
practice of not making too many
promises which he cannon carry
out, is said to have gained favor
among the labor class in recent
days.
Mr.. Hoey, a lawyer, churchmar

lies of the state halls from Shelby,

been known as the states silver

AS Candidates
Near Home Goal
IHoey Supporters Predict
Veteran C~ampaigner
Will Carry County
and State
Primary Approaches

Reports received from all sec
lions of the state during the past
few days indicate that Clyde Hoey
is making rapid gains in the states
gubernatorial race.
Hoey supporters in Rowan
County are elated over the favor
able reports and predict that he
will carry both county and state
substantial margins on June s.
With the primary only two
weeks away, interest in the candi-
dates and the issues advanced is
more acute.
Probably the outstanding move
ment that carries with it the great
est political significance is the
swing of the farm vote to Hoey.
Faced with an additional tax lev
led on land, should the sales tax be
completely and Immediately ehmi-
mated, various farm organizations
of the state have openly espoused
the Hoey cause. Mr.. Hoey, while
definitely opposed to a sales tax of
any kind, believes that it should
first be taken off the necessities of
life and gradually removed from
other items, in such a manner as
not to make an additional land tax
necessary or to impair the schools
of the state or the states credit.
The factors which are serving to
weaken the Mcdonald support in
the eastern counties especially, but
over the entire state generally, ac-
cording to Hoey managers, are:
1. The realization by the people
that his substitute tax program is
unsound and will not produce the
revenue needed.
2. The belief that if the sales tax
removed some form of a state
wide property tax will have to be
imposed. .
3. The realization by the school
teachers and those interested in the
welfare of the schools that the Nc
Donald program will provide less
money for schools instead of more
as he is promising.
4. The opposition of the mer-
chants to his heavy merchants IL
cense tax plan.
5. The fear that he will attempt
to revive his occupational tax on
small incomes of $40 a week or
more, such as he proposed in the
1885 legislature.
1.-The people of the state are at
last waking up to the fact thai
taxes cannot be removed at one end
and expenditures increased at the
other, without the imposition of
new and equally unpopular taxes
somewhere along the line" Cam
paign Manager Olive said. "They
are beginning to see that if DR..
should be elected, the
next legislature would have to
either enact a heavy statewide
property tax or a series of different
sales taxes, such as have been Ell
acted in Kentucky since the repeal
Of the general sales tax there. The
people of North Carolina are not
going to elect a young professor
from Illinois and Arkansas govern
or of North Carolina just so he can
on the state with his
bag full of untried tax theories.
That explains the heavy trend to
Mr.. Hoey everywhere in the state"
The Graham managers and sup
porters agree with the lHoey force,
that DR.. Mcdonald is slipping and
heading downhill fast.
