The meeting' l to be held here in
Raleigh and has nothing whatever
to do with the Barrett-Htone ques
tionnaire. Indeed, McMahon, who helped to
send out the farmer-labor question
naire of two years ago, hasn't ever
been able to decide that the results
were worth the trouble. He inclines
to the view that there is more virtue
in making a study of the records of
the candidates. '
While here are a few second
primaries to be held on tho first of
July, any compilation of records not
already made will of a necessity af
fect nothing until th,e election this
fall. There isn't any" great danger
of interference by the federation

, Hinsdale To Reply.
John W. Hinsdale, candidate for
solicitor, whom J. W. Uailey, candi
date for governor, declared to be
far inferior In capacity to W. F.
Evans, is going to reply to Mr. Bai
ley's speech of last Monday night
Just one week from Its deliverance.
On next Monday miAjt Mr. Hinsdale 1
has the Wake countjPcourthouse en
gaged for a display of his filstusto,
which may reaeh resentment, for
having a champion of his opponent
criticize nis ntness ior otnce, nas
record for public service . and the
character of his support.
-I The fur is expected to fly once
more, and the populace Is picking
out its ringside seats ' in advance.
Things politically are warm in this
commmunitjir 'just now, the hottest j
for some years.
No bets have been placed, or If
placed have not been made public, !
on the, result of , the sollcilorsfrlp
fight , Mr. Evans led by. ,291 votesj
In the first bout, but. he - secured !
more than that number In Franklin ,
county. Operations have been In
tense and Intensive since the vote
was counted. Some held to the view
after Mr. Bailey's speech that Hins
dale was out of the running; but
straightway arose others tocontend
that Mr. Bailey's championship was
all that Mr. Evans heeded to defeat
him.
There seems to be little doubt,
however, that Mr. Bailey'H attack
on Banker W. B. Drake, Jr. for al
leged activity In behalf of' County
Treasurer L. D. Stephenson, whose
opponent. Miss Let tie Lewis, led
him by 600 votes In the first pri
mary, has won to Mr. Stephenson
some-votes in the city of - Kaleleh.
; The effect out In the county Is some
thing tnat none nas attempted to
estimate.
Commissioner Watts continues as
silent as the grave, If not more so.
with regard to what Mr. Bailey said
about him last Monday night.
Plenty of Idle Labor.
To all members of the Republi
can Chamber of Commerce Miss
Annie Travis, assistant director of
the Federal Employment Service, is
sending letters asking Information
as to what sort of vacancies they
have for labor. The employers are
asked:
"What kind of an employment do
you need?
"We have applications every day
for Jobs from people who want and
need work. If you would only let
us know what kind of people you
could use, we could help you . and
also help the man who wants a Job.
"All of the people who are out of
employment are not rough-necks.
Many of them are merely unfortu
nate. Many of these applicants are
skilled In their lines but are unable
to find an opening in that kind of
work. Won't you help us to find
employment for them?
, "We also have applications from
people who for various reasons want
to come to Raleigh to live. We are
doing our best for them, but , we
mist have co-operation.
