In which they se cured an extension of time until No vember 10 from the United States Court in which to file application for a writ of certiorari, is nothing more than a move to postpone any further! action in their cases until after the! election of November 8, according to! the prevailing opinion here. Accord- j ing to reports heard here from Ten nessee. the I*-as are vitally interested in the outcome of the three-cornered contest for governor there, evidently in the hope that the man who is elect ed governor will be friendly to the Leas and refuse to honor extradition papers for them from North Carolina. This is based on the assumption, of course, tljat the United States Su preme Court will refuse to grant the petition for a writ of certiorari, as . it is erpected to do, thus permitting. the decision of tbe North Carolina" Supreme Court that the Leas must j fulfill the sentences imposed by the lower court, to stand. It is generally agreed in political circles here that it will be impossible to extradite the Leas as iong as Gov ernor Henry Horton remains gover nor In Tennessee.

BALLOTS IN STATr' OF UNPRECEDENTED SIZE AT ELECTION First Time in Stated History Ticket Includes Three Sets of National Electors 700,000 TAR HEELS EXPECTED TO VOTE Means an Average of 1,114 Ballots Cast Every One of The 628 Minutes Polls Are Open From Sunrise to Sifn set; Time Varies From East to West Raleign, Nov. 2. —<AP) —With of ficial ballots bearing the names of presidential electors of three parties this year for the first time in the State's history, North Carolinians next Tuesday will deposit unusually large tickets in the ballot boxes. Voters will be given three Statewide tickets when they go to their voting ■places, one for presidential electors, another for the State and congres sional tickets and the third for con stitutional amendments. In addition, they will get county and district slates. In order (o contain the Democratic. Republican and Socialist electors in parallel columns, the presidential bal lot is one of the unprecedented size of nine by 12 inches. The State ticket is six by 72 inches, and the constiu tional ballot is smaller. Ndrth Carolinians will have 828 min utes in which to do their balloting Tuesday. The polls will open at sun rise and close at sunset, the opening and closing time varying 31 minutes between Elizabeth City in the east and Murphay in the west. Should the State Board of Elections’ estimate that 700,000 persons who will vote come true, it will be necessary for about 1,114 persons to be casting every minute of the day. This means an average of nearly one must vote each minute in each one of the State’s 1,829 precincts if the total of 700,000 is to be surpassed. Both major parties continue to pre dict a record-breaking vote well above the 1928 figure of 652.000, and all parties have >in appeals to voters to visit their polls early. Gardner Contrasts Farm Values Under Wilson And Now Under Hoover Regime Greenville. Nov. 2.—Declaring the loss in agricultural values in Pitt county unde*'’"the Hoover administer tion was a sum sufficient .to pay all taxes in that county for forty years, Governor O. Max Gardner drew a comparison of the two political parties before an enthusiastic and over-flow ing audience here last night. Even as far back as his college days Governor said, the Repub licans have been inviting a compar ison of commodity prices under the Cleveland and the McKinley admin istrations. The governor declared that In 1903 Republican Senator Pritchard pushed Locke Craig In, the political corner by declaring that the hide of a bull calf was worth more under Mc kinley than a 1200 pound steer under Cleveland. “Now I submit," said the governor, “that if it was fair to contrast the price of farm products under McKln lejr and Cleveland, it to nothin* but PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA.

New York is not merely a politically doubtful state; it is kaledoscopic. It changes from day to day, almost from hour to hour, a little one way, a little the other. The stupendous bulk of the metropolitan area’s pop ulation, its amazing mixture of in gredients, the utter impossibility of foreseeing its reactions with any cer tainty these things have much to do with making the problem so baffling.

"You may change the figures as to Pitt County and apply the proper ones to each individual County and have the same picture,” he said. “Pitt is our greatest agricultural county.
