Addition of Proctor To

Split in Western Regulars

of major proportions should be
worked between now and May 70.
There has been an almost incredi-
BILE rumor out of Washington, D. c.,
that sometime between now and the
primary Horton, Broughton and
Maxwell will get together in one
room and when they come out there
will be only one candidate where
three were running before-but so
far there is nothing 10 support this
rumor and it is not being seriously
considered.
For the division Governor Clyde
R. Hoey is being blamed by an APP
preciable number of western lead
ers, who claim that His EXcellency
had clear opportunity to prevent
breaking up of a machine which has
been all-powerful in North Carolina
elections. These leaders maintain
that the Governor could, and should,
have given out the word" months
ago, announcing his preference as to
his successor. That, they say, would
have kept the other REGULARS" out
of the race.
What is feared is that Horton,
Broughton and Maxwell will so split
ND the western vote that if one Of
the less-desirable (rom the "regu-
lar" viewpoinD trio of Paul Grady.
Lee Gravely and Tom Cooper will
be enabled to roll up enough votes
in the east to put him in the second
primary. and perhaps to lead in the
first polling.
There's nothing these Westerners
dread more than such possibility,
and if one of the "outs" does develop
,,,ore strength than is now indicated,
there exists the possibility-remote
though it be-that there will be a
crystallization of sentiment that will
throw all Cor at least almost alD the
western vote to one of the Horton
Broughton-M Maxwell trio.
There are those who claim Sam
dy Graham was traded out of a
heavy western vote almost on the
eve of the 1886 primary for the very
reason just mentoned-a fear that
an Anti might lead unless all good
men came to the aid of their faction
within the party.

To Have Wanted To

Daily Dispatch Bureau.
Tn the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleish. hIarch Q. The low
down" from North Cardinals Eighth
Congressional. where another with
out-uuartcr campaign looms for this
spring. is that former Representative
Walter Lambeth wanted desperately
to run this time, after two years OF
private life. :
He was kept out, according to these
grapevine" sources. only by the
firm. flat refusal Of w. O. Burgin, the
incumbent, to consider retiring. This
made 4 conflict inevitable in the
home county of both, Davidson.
Political leaders of the county quite
frankly informed Lambeth that they
intended to stand virtually solidly
behind Burgin, whose reelection
they regarded as vital to the vindica-
ton of Davidson from the manifold
charges of election crookedness made
against it in 1888. Burgin got APP
proximately 1900 absentee votes and
went to Congress only through Tie
verdict of an unofficial board {. p.
bitration and despite the fact thu =
fetal records OF the primary ele. lion
still show that c. B. Deane OF Rock
ingham received i majority of %
votes over Burgin in the second pri-
mary.
Thus the possibility-even the pro-
bability-that he would lose his home
county was brought forcefully to Mr..
Lambeth's attention; and on think
ing the matter over, the former Con-
= 81 Id
would be better to stay on the side
lines rather than risk this disaster,
which would be particularly calling
even if he could win in the district
without carrying Davidson-a con-
tingency which even the Davidson
ians VINO were swearing loyalty to
Burgin recognized as far from i'm
possible.

buying votes to force a third term up

We need ships enough for two-ocean

That is the most important ques-

the decision may not be yours.
At this very moment we find ourselves

a war would be in our own defense. We
would have everything to lose. Nothing
to gain.
This Committee believes that the over

pie demand Defense. But they do not want
to engage in a war thousands of miles from
home do not want American youth
sent abroad to Europe or Asia to be killed

Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Aug. 23.-Fritz Rein
hardt, state secretary Of the Finance
Ministry, reported today Germany
is paying for the war as she goes,
without any extraordinary increase
in taxes or great public loans.
Reinhardt, in predicting income
taxes in 1910 would bring the gov
eminent Is, 900 900 900 marks NOM
inally $4,000 900 ,000), observed the
tax income when Adolf Hitler as
sumed power in 1888 was $500 900 900
marks and increased to %, 500 600, 900
marks in 1899.
This increase. he said, was made
possible by a tremendous enlarge
ment of the German peoples pro-
ductive capacities under Hitler and
corresponding increase in incomes
and elevation of living standards.
1T reflects fundamental change
in the way of life" said Reinhardt.
To illustrate what he termed the
comparatively slight tax increase
caused by the war, Reinhardt gave
comparative figures for collections
from six tax sources for the April
July period last year and his esti-
mates for the same four months in
1910.
These figures in millions of marks,

Russian Pact Hailed.
On the diplomatic side, Germany
contemplated the IL months which
have passed since the signing of her
aggression and trade agree
ments with Russia and found many
reasons to express satisfaction.
On the eve of the anniversary OF
the treaty signing the Nazi press
asserted both countries had bene-

two fronts the greatest gain to
Germany.
The chief gain to Russia was
seen to be annexation OF Latvla,
Lithuania and Estonia and terri

Of Poland and Rumania.

respondent observed that Russia
got an opportunity to eliminate a
number of unsatisfactory and dis
