(By Max Abernethy) RAi r.KiH, Sept. 6. The last warn, nude bv Deputy Commissioned ilij, - Stai-ey Wiidr, of the State Insurance department, against investing money 1 ov nul all "wildcat" stocks that are beinsi offered by disreputable sales men lias drawn fire from. one. company tiiit has leeii licensed to sell its" stock in the State. ntric-ials f the company in question have, writ ten Deputy Wade requestinj rivit he retract some of the statements he made when it was reported to the Insurance Department that a Wake i mitr farmer had been persuaded to affix his signature to notes for stock rutalinjs 8110,000. Prom information ahpii rhe deuartment by the farmer it is apparent to Deputy Wade that the man has become bankrupt as the result of his dealings; with stock salesmen, and acting upon this complaint as well ?arion is made by the Insurance De- r. the office of the Insurance Commis sioner for some time, a warning . was sounded to the public by Deputy. Wade in an effort to stave offa recurrence in some other section of the state. It has been called to the attention of the Insurance Department that af ter license to sell stock in this state has been granted it seems unfair for the Insurance Commissioner, his deputy, to attempt to instruct! the people not to buy. Such a condition, thinks Deputy Wade, would be unfair if it were true, but he points out that all the companies given license to sell stock in North Carolina are. reputable concerns and that where the difficulty forces in is in allowing salesmen - to misrepresent the stock. At any rate this has been true in a number ol instances where complaints have been made that buyers have been "swin dled" out of their money. The movement started by Greens boro and New Bern to have official law enforcement aid in the blue sky security field is considered by the in surance department officials as the proper procedure. The State law, of course, requires foeign stock com panies to obtain a permit from theTlS4 trance Commissioner before the stock be legally sold in North Carolina Before the license is issued an investi gation os made by the Insurance De partment to ascertain whether it iaf worthy of consideration.

A Campaign that be jjan in earnest on August 23 will be fbught without let-up through the fi nal' week.t - The usual predictions -of success are being issued by both re publicans and democrats. Maine is unique in its constitution al provisions for state elections which are held in - September instead of November and in presidential years the local contests are viewed as of special importance. On these years the fighting is no less for the posses sion (ft state, offices, representation in Congress and control of the state legis, Tature, than for the psychological ef- feet .-of the outcome ' on the rest of he country. ,s- v: , .... : - : To what extent if any the national drift may be forecast by a. victory orj an increased or decreased majority here has long been a matter of -dis dispute with politicians but certain it is that national leaders ha ye taken the tradition seriously and have brought as many of their political big guns in to the campaign in this State as pos-, sible.
