The added inspectors have been
undergoing L thorough course of

The system OF inspection by State
employees is the result of an agree

Labor Department and the wage and

ton is the logical one, as it brings the
administration close to the people il

He pointed out, however, that no
method of enforcement can be COM

to get so that I'VE shall be able to

N. G. Appeal
Daily dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel
By HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Jan. 12.-The political
strategists who accompanied Paul
V. McNutt to Raleigh for MS Jackson
Day appearances, were particularly
keen to induce former Governor j.
c. B. Ehringhaus to take charge OF
their favorite's presidential cam
paign in North Carolina.
There is reliable authority for the
statement that the North Carolina
! managership was not only offered the
former governor, but that he is still
being urged to accept the post
Whether he will is very doubtful.
Second choice of the McNutt mana
gers is State Senator Joe Blythe, Of
Charlotte, who seems at the present
to be a more likely acceptant.
State Grange Master Harry B.
Caldwell was scheduled to take
hot shot at diversion Of highway
funds in an address today at a Char
lotte district meeting the North Caro-
lima Petroleum Industries Commit
tee.
Highway funds cannot be divert
ed now in the name OF economy or
sound Judgment, read Caldweli's
scheduled address. "We cannot back
slide today when many of our
farmers who helped to finance the
present system of highways must
contend with road conditions that
make it practically impossible for
them to get to and from markets at
many seasons Of the year"
Identity of the successor to George
MCNEIL on the State Board OF Elec-
tons will reveal just how deeply

concerned over election law reform
