Bulow (an economical statesman with words), comfortably reclined on a sofa in his home at Beresford. a village of perhaps a cou ple of thousand in the rich-looking, but actually exceedingly hard-up, southeastern corner of the state. Will Governor Roosevelt, if elected to the White House, be; able to pllay this discontent? “He’ll have an almighty hard job,” said the senator. How about the equalization plan?

FARE BADLY Can't Enthuse Over Their Candidate; Democratic Liberals Happy BY RODNEY DUTCHER, NEA Service Writer. Washington, Sept. 30.—The Repub lican proogressives, who always have, been regarded as the more important wing of the progressive element in national politics, are having a bad time in this campaign, while the Democratic progressives are having all the fun. When the time comes to count noses in the next Senate It may even be found that the Democraitc progres sives outnumber the Republican; pro gressives. i Not only are they all happy their presidential candidate, believ ing that he is one of their own, where as the Republican insurgents are at best preserving a dignified silence con cerning their party's candidate. They 1 also are having better luck in the pri mary elections. The only Republican in the group who seems to be really happy is Sena tor George W. Norris of Nebraska, who long ago declared for Governor Roosevelt against Hoover, as he did for Smith against Hoover in 1928 Norris has organized the National Progressive League and will barn storm for RooeeveiL Two of the boldest G. O. P. insur gents at the primaries— Brookhart at lowa, who is running as an indepen dent, and Blaine of Wisconsin. Defeat of Blaine and Governor Phil Laol lette ip Wisconsin was a blow to pro gressives everywhere. But as a result, enough LaFollettaites may combine with Democrats to elect a Democratic candidate who is likely to join the Senate progressives here. Borah of Idaho, the progressive who orated so powerfully for Hoover in 1928, sits silently and watches the cam paign.

MUNTY HOME COST CONTINUES BIG ITEM One of Heaviest Expenses Counties of State Have To Bear $360 IN VANCE COUNTY But Hospital Character of Work Ac counts for That, All Non-Hospital Cases Being Cared For Elsew here bulb Dispatch llurcaa. In the Sir Walter Hold. BY J. V RISK EH VI LI, Raleigh. Sept. 30.- The cost of main taining county homes for the poor is one of the heaviest expenses the coun ities have to bear at the present time, figures on file in the division of in stitutions of the State Board of Char ities and Public Welfare here show. These figures are by no means com plete, since many counties refuse to report the coot of operating their county homes to this division, ac cording to R. Eugene Brown, director But for the 43 counties that did report the cost of their county home opera tion for 1930 —the last year for which any figures are availble—the average per'capita cost per inmate was $234.40 per year. This average per capita coit of $234 a year is entirely too high, in the opinion of many here, and should be materially reduced in many counties, and could be if more efficient systems of caring for the poor and indigent should be adopted.

Sept. an.—(AP) The presidential campaign passes into the usually derisive month of October with the activities of both major political parties cen tered temporarily In the west, with plentiful signs that an Inch bjr inch struggle is to follow also In the east. * The Democratic drive for the insur gent Republican .support west of the Mississipp, led by Governor Roosevelt, h<»s received increasing attention in the closing days of September. It will be followed almost immediately by a referendum counter-thrust led by President Hoover. The Western sector is destined to see still further stub born disputes, but the thought of both party commands already is turning to ward the eAstern seaboard and the mid-west for the real wtnd-up of the campaign. After Governor Roosevelt's exchange of friendly word* with Republican Senators Johnson, of California, Cut ting, of New Mexico and Norris of Nebraska, Chairman Farley of the Democratic National Committee, re turned to New York announcing that the went w.us wor. and took up a study of the eastern war map.
