Raleigh, Nov. 30—Republicans com
menting on President Roosevelt’s two
speeches yesterday, the second one to
the Negroes of Georgia, see in the
Gcogia visit the most impressive cam
paigning that the President has had
a chance to do within two years and
with it the certainty that Mr. Roose
velt will get the Negro vote in the
nation.
That vote so often has swung the
close states that the Republicans can
not look with any levity on such a
loss. New York State must have a
quarter million of such voters and
Pennsylvania certainly half that num
ber, while Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
are in percentage quite as strong. The
recent declaration of Senator Borah
that he will not support a Federal
anti-lynching bill fashioned after the
Wagner-Costigan measure means, to
Republicans, that the Idaho senator
will not get a race vote that he ordi
narily could have counted for him.
That brings up the question wheth
er the Democrats would pass the Fed
eral anti-lynching bill. It would seem
impossible to put it through the Con
gress with the entire South against
it. But Mr. Roosevelt has found many

Maxwell is being begged to keep on

Some of the leaders perceive in Dr.

The commissioner is at his best in
that realm.

Few States Can Cope With
It, Yet Less U. S. Spend
ing Demanded
By LESLIE EICHEL
New York, Nov. 30.—The relief sit
uation gets no better. Few states arc
equipped to handle it.
A correspondent in one of the lead
ing papers of the nation remarks: “It
is noted that the people who cry
that the federal government should
balance its budget generally insist in
the same breath that the federal gov
ernment should continue direct relief
so that the states will not have to im
pose any new taxes.”
Ohio probably has the worst situa
tion of any of the populous states.
Governor Martin L. Davey. anti-Ncw
Deal Democrat, seemingly cannot
make up his mind what course to pur
sue. He does not desire to add new
taxes, for he faces re-election next
year. The legislature is in the same
frame of mind.
Thus we find the Columbus corre
spondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, Ralph J. Donaldson, saying:
