NINETEENTH YEAR Bailey Files New Brief, Contending Rules Forbid Further Election Probe Any Other Course Would In vile Defeated Candidates at Will to Protest brief inTeply TO ONE BY PRITCHARD i T»r Heel Senator Cites Court Cases and Number of Coiu tests To Support His Cen tention; Senate Committee To Take Some Action Tuesday Washington. March 28. (API-Sen ,tor Jwiah W. Bailey. Democrat. >oith Carolina, today filed with the Senate Elections Committee a brief rrplying to the contesting brief of George M Pritchard, of Asheville. In which the senator contended that the rules of the Senate and laws prevent ed further investigation of the con tested 1930 North Carolina election. ' To follow any other rule will be to invite defeated candidates to set up contests at will, put the govern neni to endless expense and at all times maintain uncertainty where there ought to be certainty—that is. that public officers have title to their offices." Bailey said. The brief was in reply to a brtsf submitted last week for Pritchard by Robert M. McNeill, chief of Prit chard's counsel, in which it was con tended that Pritchard had shown suf ficient grounds to warrant the elec tion committee urging full Senatorial investigation. The committee will meet tomorrow and expects to decide whether it should go further Into the contest, which has been pressing since early in March. 1931. Bailey cited a number of court cases and senatorial committee reporots and tules of contested elections, one of which was that an application for a ballot recount should ne* be granted unless some specific mistake or fraud be pointed out in a particular box.

The gov ernor cannot legislate, neither does he have a veto. The General Assembly makes the laws, levies the taxes and sets forth the policies which the gov ernor must follow however, so that, in effect, the General Assembly is the master of the governor, and the gov ernor not the master of the General Assembly. It Is true, of course, that the gov ernor is supposed to advise the Gen eral Assembly and recommend legis lation which he thinks is wise. But it 1 has become almost a custom if not a habit with North Carolina legisla tures to disregard rather than follow the recommendations of its governors and to Vesent any suggestions with re gard to legislation that originate out side its own membership.

(AP) — A House that had repeatedly run rough shod over its leadership probably will receive an appeal tomorrow from Speaker Garner to pass a bill to bal ance the budget. He indicated today in a conference with newspapermen that he would take the floor to urge the House to accept taxes that would offest the loss of rveue erepresented by its action in trimming the sales tax from the pend ing revenue bill. “It has come to a point now where the worst kind of taxes are better than no taxes at all." he said. His statement came obtu the time there were being distributed to House members copies of a letter from the American Farm Bureau Federation advocating selective taxes on luxuries and special manufacturers and a group of imports. Some of the imports taxes proposed were similar to amendments that were .pending Saturday when Democratic Republican and independent leaders united in appeals to the House not to transform the tax bill into a tax mea s sure, and finally succeeded in turning I back the flood of such proposals. stateTaWery UNCERTAIN AS VET Raleigh Insists It Be Held, But State Funds Are Not In Sight Dallv Dlapati'h llnrr.in.
