HENDERSON GATEWAY to ' CENTRAL CAROLINA YEAR hlnsdale reputed PICKED 10 MANAGE GRAHAM CAMPAIGN Former State Senator Rum ored Choice as Hillsboro Man May Be First To Announce hoey and McDonald hunting managers Hubert Olive and Dixon Mc- Lean Mentioned Among Those Who May Take Job; McDonald Wanted Dowell, But He May Man age His Own Campaign Hail* JLMsnnlek flarena, In Ike SD M alter Hutfi. 11, ,f IIASKKIIVI I.L Raleigh. F©-. s—Lieutenant Gov rnor \ H. Graham is expected to jump the gun on all the other can didates for the Democratic nomina •ion for governor by announcing his State campaign manager first—ami the belief is growing stronger cverj dav that when the announcement of hi.s election is made, it will be John Hinsdale, of Raleigh, a member of the loss Senate and the man now gen erally credited with furnishing most of the brains in the organizing of the Fountain campaign back in 1932. Hinsdale could not be reached for a statement here today, and is reported to have stated recently that he did rot intend to manage anybody’s cam paign. Nevertheless, the opinion is steadily growing in political circles Imre that it is only a matter of days before Graham will announce the ap pointment of Hinsdale as his cam paign manager. It is definitely known that Graham has already made over tures to Hinsdale with regard to managing his campaign and it is be lieved that the only thing “Sandy” is now waiting for is Hinsdale’s final decision. If Hinsdale consents to manage Graham’s campaign for governor, and if Graham makes the announcement of his appointment before either Clyde R. Iloey, of Shelby; Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, of Winston-Salem; or John A. Mcßae, of Charlotte, an-j nounco the selection of their ‘State \ managers, most observers here agree Graham will undoubtedly score a con siderable advantage. It is generally conceded that both McDonald and IToey have been searching for cam paign managers for a good many weeks, if not months, but that so far they do not seem to have found the type of man each has wanted. McDonald Wanted Dowell. It is generally agreed that Dr. Mc- Donald several months age tried to persuade Willard Dowell, militant r (Continued on Page Two.)

The speech will last for one hour, from 8 until 9 o’clock, and will be broadcast over a Statewide radio hook-up over stations WIBT, Charlotte; WLPTF, in Raleigh, and WWNC, in Asheville. As a result, it is believed that the speech can be easily and clearly picked up by any radio set in the State.

Feb. 5. —(AP) — The House today passed the Senate-ap proved bill repealing the compulsory cotton, potato and tobacco control acts. Further Senate action will ibe nec essary', however, to enact the meas ure, which President Roosevelt re quested only' a few days ago.

The bill would create a board, of three lo take over and sell between 2Q.000 and 25,000 T ales weekly of tho 6,000,000 bales held by the govern ment.

Alleged Slayers Os Yugoslav King j On Second Trial j Aix-in-Provence, France, Feb. 5. — (APi--Hundreds of gendarmes went on guard and this city bristled with barbed wire entanglements and wooden barricades today as the sec ond trial of three alleged territorists, charged with complicity in the as sassination of King Alexander of Yugoslavia, began. The first trial was held in Novem ber, ending in the disbarment of Georges Desbons, defense lawyer, for “insluting the court.” At the new trial, Mio Kraj, Zvoni mir Pospehil and Ivan Rajtich, the alleged gunman, were defended by Matre de Saint Auban, former head of the Paris bar association, chosen by the prisoners because he defended an anarchist in 1895. This time the defendants had to answer for six deaths instead of five in the first trial, for a policeman suc cumbed in December to wounds suf fered at the side of the slain monarch more than a year before at Marseilles. 12 ROiSCTS TO BE LET FEB. 18 Approval Is Given by Wash ington and Bids Called for at Raleigh Dully Dispute* Bsyea*. la Tise Sir Walter Hotel, By J.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Feb. 5. —When Post master General James A. Farley prop hesied that the national campaign up on which the country is entering will Ibe an exceptionally “dirty” one, it is evident that he didn’t predict exag geratedly. Perhaps it would be more nearly exact to say that it is becoming a vicious, wicked, rather than a dirty campaig^t However, the P. M. G. was speak ing in ring parlance when he said “dirty.” A professional prize fighter doesn’t necessarily mean that per sonal mud is slung in a dirty combat. He means that the combatants hit low, bite, gouge and butt. His idea of a dirty engagement is one in- which Queensbury rules and disregarded wholesale, an engagement in which there are many technical fouls.

Those elements may lead to the defeat of particular candidates for the presidential nomination. One such hidden element already has Ibeen brought to the surface. Sen ator William E. Borah of Idaho voted against the anti-lynching bill. The Ne gro population of large industrial cen ters has become so large that it can mean victory or defeat for a party in such states as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri.
