Forces McAdoo Confident Of Victory In Convention Claiming 100 Voles on First Ballot They (lluini Strength . Will Grow Steadily untl That If They (!an (Jet a Ma jority Convention the V> ill Swiiifj to Their Man n>- DAVID LAWRENCE (Co??rlfM. 1924. By Th# Atfvanc?) New York, May 17.?William Gibbs MoAdoo lias come to town at just the psychological moment. There are conferences now r.mont; Democratic leaders which may influence the whole trend of events at the Democratic National Convention six weeks' hence. ! Mr. McAdoo and his associ-j ates are confident of the out come. -They neither look doubt ful nor talk that way. Arrange ments are being made for tho convention itself?that is what has brought several national committeemen here?but the undercurrent of conversation is not who shall be temporary or I permanent chairman but what' the strategy of the convention will be. | The McAdoo men are sure of morel than 400 votes on the first ballot., They say they have more votes in store on subsequent ballots. If thoyj get a majority, they believe the. whole convention will swing toward them and furnish the necessary two thirds. On what is all this confidence based? You can't talk five minutes with any of the McAdoo men before learning that they are absolutely convinced that the dragging in of McAdoo's name in the oil controver sy has been a boomerang, that it is the kind of thing which Republicans will think harmful but which the Democratic party will not. For, in the first place, Mr. McAdoo feels he has done nothing wrong, that nobody has accused him of any legal wrong doing and that his activity as a law yer after he left the Treasury De partment Is no different from the ac tivity of CharleB Evans Hughes af ter he left the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Hughes, it is pointed out, argued before his for mer associates and was highly paid for his services. But the McAdoo men say the oil discussion is "old stud" and that the people in several state primaries have passed on it and given McAdm their support. Far more significant at the mo ment is the course that the McAdoo generals are taking in mapping out their campaign for the nomination which is the first hurdle to be crossed. The McAdoo men point sig nificantly to the statement by Sena tor La Follette that he would run independently if both parties name a conservative. The inference which the McAdoo strategists draw from this 1b that he may not run If a radi cal or.liberal Democrat is nominated. Aftyway, the whole basis of the Mc Adoo campaign is that there must be a difference between the two can didates and the parties in the forth coming contest, that the West an-l South can be counted upon to sup port a liberal and progressive while the East will naturally vote to a large extent for a conservative. Former Secretary McAdoo's speeches in the West are exactly in line with that doctrine. While he himself would probably say that to describe his doctrines as radical i3 erroneous because he thinks a radi cal is essentially an extremist, nev er-the-less the utterances are not in the least conservative. For instance, he has been advocating the repeal of the much-mooted section 15-A of the Transportation Act which limits the earnings of the railroads, he has been favoring the repeal of the labor clauses so that the present labor board may be abolished. He has al so been talking in favor of a cash bonus while the present soldier In surance bill does not appropriate money for that immediate purpose. As for foreign affairs, the man whose great liability in 1920 was his kinship with the late Woodrow Wil son is today finding it his biggest as set. Mr. McAdoo has been carefi.l not to come out In favor of any par ticular formula of co-operation be tween nations but savs'he would call an international conference if elect ed. In such a conference would, of course, be discussed all formulas, and It goes without saying that Mr. McAdoo is not hostile to an ameno ed and revised covenant of the j Lvalue of Nations. Tin* DemocratIc national platform will chart tin* j course of the nominee on that suli-j ject. For the moment foreign pol -1 icy is not an issue as between can didates for the nomination itself.j The Wilson following in the party is 1 for the most part behind McAdoo though he has recruited some of th ? old anti-Wilson men too. Another thing on which the Mc-1 Adoo cohorts are not silent is pro hibition. They point to him as the only "dry and progressive candi date." This seems of course a chal lenge to Governor A1 Smith. Whether! the McAdoo men can make of Ai Smith a conservative by declaring Tammany is far from progressive re-| mains to be seen. Rut the fight ap pears to bp developing largely be tween the McAdoo and Smith forces, with all sorts of rumors floating around just now that at the psycho logical moment both the Underwood and Cox strength will be thrown to Smith rather than McAdoo in order to head off the latter's nomination. The pre-convention efforts to per suade influential men behind the I scones to cast their support into the ; camp of William Gibbs McAdoo are becoming intensified. There was a time when the skeptics thought him eliminated on account of the oil mix-up. He has now carried several primaries and has come here to ask the doubtful ones what they thin:< about that and to persuade them to climb his band wagon. For McAdoo is one of the chief strategists of his own campaign. For?

Ross. Chief of the State Division i of Markets. "It is a comparatively | new crop, however," says Mr. lloss," and producers of -beans in Eastern Carolina are feeling the need of bet ter marketing facilities for the dis tribution of their beans." This need was brought to the at-j tention of Mr. Ross a few days ago at a conference held with him and Commissioner of Agriculture, W. A. Graham, by O. F. McCrary, District Agent of the Agricultural Exten sion Service for Central North Caro lina. and W. B. Pace, District Agent for the Extension Service in Tidewa ter North Carolina. The two district agents outlined the needs of the farmers In regard to the markets for their beans and suggested the need of a market news service similar to the one now being conducted for berries and other spring produce. It was suggested that co-operative shipping of soy beans be conducted during the fall as the poultry and livestock ship ments are now being handled. Mr. Ross states that the district agents reported that farmers In Eastern Carolina did not receive. In many instances, more than $1.25 for their beans last fall and this in ? face of a demand so great that then*; should be a more stable market for beans at all times. The agents al so reported that these same soy beans are now selling at from $2.50 to $3.00 per bushel and that many farmers who had beans last fall are now unable to supply the demands being made on them for seed.

First in National Independence The noble desire for freedom which swept through the colonies like a tornado found its first formal ex pression in North Carolina on May 20, 1775 in the Mecklenburg Resolves. The spirit and much of the writing of the Mecklen burg Resolves later were embodied in the accepted Declaration of Independence drawn up in Philadelphia. Just as North Carolina was.the leader in declaring national independence, so are her citizens among the leaders in declaring their own financial independence by saving regularly, as indicated by the enormous in creases in bank deposits through the State.
