If the Senate should pass this pro-
gram, observers looked for consider
able time to elapse before the bill
goes to the White House. This is he
cause the House has passed already
a much different bill, and the intri-
cate details would have to be thresh-
ed out all over again in a Senate
House conference.
Many observers believe that in this
conference administration men will
seek to obtain legislation more in line
with White House ideas.

Shows Scotch Ancestry
McRae is quiet, soft-spoken, a
gaunt man whose Scotch ancestry is
written in his face and his shaggy
eyebrows. In Charlotte's Law build
ing he is popular among his collea-
cues.
His law practice consists of office
cases primarily and he seldom enters
a courtroom to address a jury His
reputation in Mecklenburg county is
best described as substantial.
That the name McRae means some
thing in the county of his birth is
shown by the fact that he is running
far ahead of the other, three candi-
dates in Arson county, according to
the statewide newspaper poll.
Mrs. McRae heads the MecklenIburg
League of Women Voters. and was
last year vice-chairman of the coun-
TVS Democratic executive committee.
Both are active in the civic and re-
ligious life Of Charlotte.

Sherwood, Mich, May 29-The pre-
else effect of Townsend propaganda
on the coming election is a subject of
much speculation among residents Of
this section of Michigan. They seem
to believe that the Republicans will
nominate a dark horse at Cleveland
and that his chances of beating
Roosevelt lie in direct ratio to his
Townsend support.
These opinions were expressed to-
day by group of three men and a
woman standing around the delivery
truck of Russell Garet who operates
huckster's route over a large area
of southern Michigan.
BAD FOR BORAH
Garet took the lead in the conser-
walton by declaring:
ut doesn't look so good for Sena-
tor Borah at Cleveland since he was
SO BADLY walloped in the Ohio and
New Jersey primaries but I think he
could win the election if he were
nominated"
One of Carrots helpers, a man
named Collins, spoke up quickly:
Those primaries don't mean
thing. AS I see it the Ohio delega-
ton is ust pledged to Taft, a favorite
son, so that it can swing whatever
way the big shots decide when they
get together in their hotel rooms. For
all we know, this may just be a poll
teal trick, to give Walter Browns
machine a club to WELD against either
Borah or Landon in case their man
Knox loses out"
PRICES TELL HIS STORY
Well" Carrot terminated his re-
marks abruptly II don't have to look
very far to tell what I'm going to do.
See those egg crates They tell the
story.
"a few years ago, at eight cents
dozen, eggs weren't worth Grating.
We actually poured them out of
packing box when we got back from
a trip-didnt care whether they broke
or not. Now they are Is cents and I
want you boys to be darn careful how
you handle 'em. Business is better;
I'm better off than I've been for years
and Roosevelt may not deserve all the
| credit but he at least gets my vote"
That's all right said his wife, "but
if old people can get pension I'm
for helping them"
"Who isn't?" Collins inquired. But
there's big difference between helping
and hoaxing,'

John Albert McRae, of Charlotte.
was born in Arson county. at White
Store, December 20, 1875, and was
reared on a farm. He was a local bow
who made good at home and then left
for greener pastures.
The son of DR.. John A. McRae and
Lavinia Boggan McRae, both of whom
were native Ansonians, he was edu-
Gated in the country schools of An
son, attended Marshville (Union coun-
ty) high school, and the University
of North Carolina.
McRae has held several public Of
fices. His first venture in public life
came in 1902, when he was elected to
the lower house of the legislature
from Arson. Shortly after serving in
the 1903 legislature he moved to
Charlotte where, in 1907-09 he served
as city attorney. In 1915 he served as
Mecklenburg county's state senator.
The following year he married Miss
Matte Ham, of Pikeville, Wayne
county. He remained in private life
for several years, except to act as at
torney for the Mecklenburg county ex-
emtpion, board during the World war
and again became city attorney for
Charlotte, 1929. He was elected to
the state house of representatives in
1880, served during the 1881 session.
and was presidential elector for the
tenth congressional district in 1892
Worked on a Farm
AS boy and as young man Nc
Rae worked On a his fathers farm
and later became a clerk in a coun-
try store. Immediately before secur-
ing his law license he taught school
for three years. Most of his life, how
ever, has been spent in practicing law
in Charlotte, where he is highly re-
spected and has a large clientele
The McRaes have three children,
Martha Ham, 10, John Albert, Jr., IS,
and William Haywood IA. John is a
student at the state university.
McRae is a member of the Haw-
thorne Lane, Methodist church, of

member of Woodmen of the World.
He belongs to the Charlotte Kiwanis
club and is a former president of the
organization.
He is a member of both the state
and Mecklenburg county bar associa-
tons and is past president of each.
John McRae likes to sit on the We
randa of his North Caswell road and
talk with his family and friends or
wander across his. spacious lawn to
look at the neighbors' dogs.
His sincerity concerning his stand
on the liquor question might by some,
be shrugged away with remarks about
candidates desire for votes. Among
those who know him, however, his
stand is taken for exactly what it
means-that John McRae has thought
the matter through, arrived at a con-
clusion which is clear to him, and
with true Scotch candor has express
ed that conclusion. He favors estab-
lishment of a state control system,
similar to the ABC system of Vir-
