March 18.—“ Watch out for ‘Sandy’ Graham, for he D going to be heard from in the next gubernatorial campaign." is the word going the rounds here.

Orange county, are not on ly more than ever convinced that he is going to become a candidate for governor, regardless of whether Hoey, or Doughton. or both of them, become candidates, but that his chances for being nominated arc becoming in creasingly blight.

C. MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 18, 1935 Criminal Libel Warrant Sworn Out For Hopkins Mutiny On Sales Levy Improbable In (lie Sjr Waller Hotel, Daily Hioipateh lliireaa, BY C. A. TAUL. Raleigh. March 18 It is not be lieved here that the proposed “mu tiny" against the sales tax. if enacted with the staple food exemptions re moved. by food dealers and others will materialize. It is generally un derstood, although he would not make a definite statement, that Willard Dowell, executive secretary of the North Carolina Merchants Associa tion, is counselling members of his group against such a mutiny. For some time, says Dowell, he has been receiving letters from various sections of the State from dealers in various lines advocating the presen tation of a united front by Merchants against the sales tax. In these letters is the suggestion that merchants agree among themselves not to col lect the tax and to refuse to pay the State a tax upon their sales. Re cently the board of directors of the State Food Dealers Association, at a meeting in Charlotte, went on record against collection and remittance of the tax. The action was a definite appeal for a mutiny against the tax. or so it was interpreted here. Since that time Dowell's mart concerning the proposal has increased. Those mer chants who advocate open mutiny almost invariably, says Dowell, point out that the sales tax was levied by the 1933 legislature as “an emergency act.” and that the general understand ing was that the tax would not be re enacted this session. Dowell himself has taken the same attitude, although he has indicated, though not openly expressed such an opinion, that an open rebellion by merchants would not accomplish any permanent good.

March 18.—(AP)—The $4,8(80.000,000 .relief bill, with the pre i vailing wage issue compromise, today approached a final ballot on passage, with administration leaders confident of success. Efforts to slash the big fund by half offered the most serious threat. The House meanwhile, laid plans for a ballot on the $2,000,000,000 casli bonus issue—a step opposed as strong ly by the White House as were efforts to re-write the relief measure.
