Oct. 26.—1 t is astonish ing how little prohibition is figuring, ps an issue, in the current natonal political campagn. One would have thought at Chicago “bat it would at least rival the eco nomic controversy. Instead, except {here and there, in smallish spots, it has been almost ignored ever since the conventions. It may be argued that the major {parties robbed it of its punch, by both adopting wet platforms. Still, they are not equally wet. and the presidential candidates by no means are equally so. Governor Roosevelt formerly was perhaps the dryer of the two. Th3t is. he was outspokfr.L dry. President Hoover cannot bt quoted to any ef fect that ever committed him unmis takably to bone-dryness. The gover nor. however, has come all hte way over. If public opinion is overwhelm ingly wet, clearly he will feel no qualms in acquiescing in whatever program it desires. President Hoover has yielded grudgingly.

COMMISSION MIGHT FORCE LOWER RATE State Group To Pre*t Power Companies For Mate rial Reductions Uallr Dispute* Hares*, la Ihf Sir Waller Hotel. FIT i. r BASKKRVIL.L. Raleigh. Oct. 26 —Tne State Cor poration Commission is all ready for its conference here tomorrow with the four larger electric power companies and from whom it is seeking much lower and more uniform rates for the entire State of North Carottna. Each of these four companies- The Caro lina Power and Light Company, The Southern Public Utiltiles Company (the Duke company), the Tidewater Power Company and the Durham Pub lic Service Company—is expected to be here to present revised rate sche dules. Less than a week ago the Corpora tion Commission announced that a let ter had been sent to each company, together with a chart showing the prevailing rates of these companies ! n North Carolina and the average rate in ITT cities of about 50.000 population This chart, prepared by Dr. C. E. Wad dell, the consulting engineer and rate specialist employed by the commission to assist it in its study of rates in the State, showed that the rates of these four companies are materially higher than the average rate for these 177 northern cities. The letter fur ther asked the companies to bring their rate* down as nearly as pos sible to this average for 177 cities and to submit their nej* rate, schedule* to the commission tomor row, October 27* It has been authoritatively learned here that before this letter waA sent out. the Southern Public Utilities Com pany of Charlotte made an effort to get - the Corporation Commission to aooept the first revised rate schedule it presented, together with certain strings that were tied to It.

Roosevelt won the good will and{ friendship of the 10 000 or more North l Carolinians who gathered at the State Fair grounds here yesterday morning to hear and see him while his special train paused for about 20 minutes, judging from the enthusiasm with which they greeted him. True, it was nothing like the crowd that utrned out to hear and se« Alfred E. Smith when he passed through here in 1928, when more than 50,000 people packed and jammed the streets of Raleigh to get a glimpse of "The Happy War rior.” But the welcome given Mr. Roosevelt yesterday waa probably more sincere, with less of the curiosity element in it, than the wlecome given Smith four years ago. It is believed that there would have been from 25.000 to 35,000 people out to welcome Mr. Roosevelt yesterday If the weather had been better and if it had been possible for him to leave* his train. But in spite of the weather, which was chill and drizzly and threatening to turn into a down pour of rain at any minute, the ardor and enthusiasm of those who did turn out was not dampened in the least.
