Communism and its assorted kind red philosophies, according to Con gressman Fish, are as dangerous to the human rj&e as pneumonic plague, which has a mortality rate of 99 and a fraction per cent. Nevertheless, in the New Yorker's attitude toward individual Com munists there Is & peculiar fairness, an eccentric tolerance of their ideas and a kind of sympathy for them, as victims of a belief for which he ad mits he does not hold them persanal ly altogether responsible.

Raleign, April 29. Although few of the friends and supporters of A. J Maxwell believe that he can do any more than run second in the first primary and concede that J. C. B. Ehringfiaus will probably be high man, they believe that in a run-off primary with Ehringhaus that Max well will be high man and win the nomination for governor, according to opinion being expressed by many of the Maxwell supporters here. There are some Maxwell followers, however, who continue to believe that R. T. Fountain is still more danger ous than Ehringhaus and that Foun tain is the man who may get first place, but these are few in numbers. For the general consensus of political opinion here now is that Ehringhaus is already in first place and maxwell and Fountain virtually neck and neck with Fountain slowly but steadily dropping back into third place, de spite the claims of his new State manager. James Delaney of Charlotte, in his newly opened headquarters here, that Fountain is going to sur prise both Ehringhaus and Maxwell and be in first place. The reasoning of the long-distance political dopesters here is that there will be at least 350,000 votes cast in the June 4 primary, because of the large number of tight local contests and the many candidates for local office sand the large vote that will be brought out as a result. Os this 850,- 000 votes, it is estimated that Ehring haus will get about 135.000. Maxwell (Continued on Page Seven.)
