Max Gardner to decide on what plans to follow to carry the State through this present fiscal year. It is also a foregone conclusion that fully $2,000,000 will be withheld from the school fund, in spit* of the laws decreeing that it shall not be reduced, for the simple reason that the State does not hav ethe money, will net have it. and would have to close down almost all of the State departments j and Institutions if it should try to | pay out the total of $17,50,000 to the • Eleven Drowned From Rainstorm Charleston, W, Va.

To millions of voters course, Novem-1 ber offers just a choice between Hoov- j er and Roosevelt, but there remain' the aspiring organizers of new groups j with their wide assortment of ideas j and candidates. Backers of at least three of these minority movements hoped they can 1 play a role comparable to Theodore! Roosevelt’s “Bull Moose” party of 1912, or to Bob LaFoilette's Proges sive sorties of 1924. They are: The Prohibition party, representing one wing of the country’s dry senti ment; the "Liberty party.” grouping the more radical Independents of the | central and western agricultural zones, and the League for Indepen dent Action based largely on the strength of political reformer* in the east HEAD HER FOR NORTH CARODINA.

With Robert R. Reynolds, senatorial nominee, and John C. B.

There was no doubt existing today as to who would and who would not be acceptable to Reynolds, whose ma jority of 107.00) votes over Senator Cameron Morrison set a new primary .record. Ehringhaus, on the other hand, did not voice his preference, but promised to at a “proper and in ample time." Reynolds emphatically let it be known that he would not consider Major L P. McLendon, of Durham, who managed Ehringhaus’ guberna torial race, or C. L. Shuping. of Greensboro, who guided J. W. Bailey s fight for the Senate in 1930.
