Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, May 6.-Here's something
new in the way. of the advertising
game-the Bureau of Information
and Tourist Travel of the New
Brunswick (Canada) Government of
fering to North Carolina papers, alb
solutely free, column Of approx
mately 1000 words daily on, of ali
things, the New York Worlds Fair
"You are wondering" wrote D.
w. Griffiths, director, "Why I am
willing, through my department OF
the New Brunswick government, to
go to this expense, and l wish to
place all my cards on the table. We
have an exhibit at the fair, and it is
our desire to draw occasional atten-
ton to this through the column and
thus obtain publicity for the Pro-
vince of New Brunswick. However,
guarantee to you that the cover
age will be entirely general"
Representative John Kerr, Jr., Of
Warren county, was in Raleigh day
or SO on business which he said had
nothing to do with politics.
In fact, he told your correspond
ent there is very little politics 60
ing on in his section, not even much
talk about the 1910 governors race.

our section" he smiled, land we
find that it pays better than politics. :"

attorney general, are still busy

pany. Their effort will unquestion-
ably be broad, but so far nobody
cares to say just what the effect will
be- The point that insurance agents
are 'employes" within the act is re-
garded as of much greater signifi-
canoe than the constitutionality of
the 1886 levy.
State Senator John D. Larkins, Jr.,
Of Jones county, was breezing
around Raleigh Friday; but though
as loquacious and gracious as ever,
he had nothing to say on the subject

dent of their ability to wallop Hop
kins, Wallace or another of their ilk
They may be wrong, to be sure, but
that's how they cerebrate.
They envisage an alternative
though. Suppose conservative Demo-
cracy triumphs, with the nomination,
illustratively, of John N. Garner or
Bennett Champ Clark. Then, the C.
.. P. dopesters argue, the Demo-
Gratis will be split wide open, and
Republicans will scoop in the presi-
dency by an avalanche.
Thus the Republican managers
are extremely optimistic Perhaps
they overflatter themselves, but
that's how they feel about it.
But as to their own candidate?
From their chat, I'd guess that
Thomas E. Dewey is No.. on the
list of a majority of them-not ex-
actly as their greatest man but as
their most spectacular. Spectacular
lty counts in such contests.
Next, Senator Robert A. Taft of
Ohio.
Taft. would be good party leader,
with Dewey as the tickets tailender,
but it's obvious that the Dewey-ites
want their choice to Wag Taft; not
Taft to wag Dewey. The two groups
seem to be jealous of one another.
By the way, the Virginia Young
Republicans organization the other
day warned Dewey not to associate
much with ex-President Herbert
Hoover, whom the Young Republi-
cans described as a "reactionary. y
John Locke Green, one of their re-
firing district chairmen (retiring be-
cause he's average for a Young Re-
publican), in plain terms gave it as
his judgment that Herbert is trying
to play Dewey off against Taft, in
order to get himself nominated as a
compromise. Herbert is persona non
grata to the whole country" Green
asserted.
Herbert evidently is receptive but
1 wouldn't call him a probability
not from what I hear.
Vandenberg and Others.
ALI M. Landon is only barely men
toned, which surprises me slightly
His cause naturally was hopeless in
1886 for many reasons, one of which
was that he practically was unknown
outside of Kansas and didn't have
tine to publicize himself nationally
Since then he's done so, and favor
ably-but it's true, he's no spellbind-
er. Nor was it a favorable adver-
tisement for him to be whaled as
mercilessly as he was the last time
he ran.
After Dewey and Taft, Senator Ar
thur H. Vandenberg of Michigan un-
doubtedly rates. Personally I like
him. He's a neWspaperman and nice
to newspapermen. He also is an ex-
ceptionally able statesman. But he
has a drawback or two. For one
thing he's been a presidential pos
sibility for so long that innumerable
shots have been taken at him by
rivals Furthermore Tom Dewey like
wise once lived in Michigan; hence
Vandenberg isn't the Wolverine COM
monWealth'S faVOrite son quite ex-
clusively
Just limited at are:
Senator Clyde M. Reed of Kansas
Governors James w. Bricker of Ohio
and Arthur H. James of Pennsylvania
and Federal Supreme Justice Over
D. Roberts, also originally from the
keystone state.
But there are only chirps thus fal
