C. B. Ehringhaus, who are very' much more concerned that he get a legislature in harmony with him than that he a leader devoted solely to him. As the day of the executive commit tee meeting is only a week off action must be swift. There Is in Raleigh a strong impression that Major L. P. McLendon, manager for Mr. Ehring haus. is first choice for the candi date for gavernor. There is a second hunch that C. L. Shuping, of Greens boro. rates a close second. These hy pothec assume that Congressman Lindsay C. Warren would not accept the election as chairman. But the naming—*oA». Warren. McLendon or Shuping woukh not mean hostility to a Reynolds supporter. The first and foremost consideration is a State cam paign which will result in the election of an Ehringhaus General Assembly. The great majority of senators and representatives in the lower House have been nominated. But a few are yet to be chosen. Since Mr. Ehring haus had the party leadership gen erally with him, it is assumed that he will have an Ehringaus legislature in 1933. But the assumption is not justi fied.

Fifty years ago a few men appeared to be able to do something to revive dead business, but depression has been on too great a scale to tillow such manipulations now. Messrs.

He has dealt with finances in the State since going into the legislature. He Ims seen business at its worst. He thinks the present gutlook is quite an improvement. Ad -4<Mtlmisrt on Pip Three.
