CAMPAIGN CONIES! SEES TWO STYLES OF VOTE GETTING McDonald Uses Popular Ap peal, Others Old-Style Organization Plans and Methods ORGANIZATION WORK CAN BLAST M’DONALD McDonald’s Backers Feels Nomination Assured; Ob servers Thinks Hoey to Put More Punch in His Blows in Order to Stop McDon ald; Graham Bides Time Dnllr Dispatch Bureau. In The Sir Walter Hotel, llr J. C, B A SKERVILL Raleigh, April 20. The campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor has now become a contest between popular appeal and the old style plan of political organization. The backers of Dr. Ralph W. McDon olcT are banking on the powerful ap peal he is making to the masses, by means of his engaging personality and convincing manner, his spectacular campaign methods and especially his almost uncanny ability to organize the prejudice which exists against the other candidates and those supporting them. They are convinced that this appeal which Dr. McDonald is mak ing to the people over the State is far more powerful than that of any of the other candidates, with the re sult that his nomination is now as sured. The forces opposed to McDonald, however, are convinced that the effort of the McDonald personality and pro mises can eventually be blasted into smithereens between now and June 6 with intensive organization work and that by the time Clyde R. Hoey and Lieutenant Governor (Sandy) Graham get their organizations perfected in every clounty and probably in every precinct, that Dr. McDonald will need more than personality, psychology and predjudice. They are convinced that an army of workers in every county and every precinct, using the personal contact method, is much more likely to bring in the votes on the day of the election, even if Dr. McDonald is proving to be more spectacular at the present time. They are convinced that the old methods of campaigning used so successfully by former Senator F. M. Simmons and the late A. E. Watts of Statesville are much more effective and much more to be trusted than the popular appeal and the mass psy chology being used by Dr. McDonald. 'Continued on Paee Pour.) ROOSEIfSIB PLAN MIY-SIDED Shorter Week With No Pay Cut Bound to Hit Some body Mighty Hard By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer . Washington, April 20. —President Roosevelt’s recent Baltimore speech generally has been taken in Washing ton, and I suppose elsewhere through out the country, as implying that the White House tenant is particularly in terested now in the relief of unem ployment. The President has quite a clear idea as to what should be done. In the first place, shorten the work ing day or the working week, or both. Second, give the worker a guaran tee of a fixed annual income; many who are quite well paid while actually employed are the victims of such fre quent lapses between jobs that their living allowances are altogether inade quate, annually speaking. Third, keep youth, below the age, say, of 18, out of the labor market; also pension off superannuated work ers, at 65 or thereabouts. “SHARE-THE-WORK” Shortening the day or week or both Continued on Three.)

It was a split committee that hand ed in the report, however, a minority protested the nationalization was not desirable. “The committee majority,’’ the re port said “recommends government ownership of facilities adequate for the construction of all warships by the navy department, also all guns forg ings, the production of powder, rifles, pistols and machine guns, necessary for the war department. “The majority believes that the war and navy department can produce from their own ranks or employ suf ficiently able technicians to operate these plants successfully.” The minority said that if large gov ernment plants are erected “there will be the inevitable local political pres sure to maintain these plants at full capacity production regardless of ac tual defense needs, and the result will be to encourage armament rather than disarmament.” Accompanying the recommendation was a lengthy condemnation of the methods of the munitions industry in supporting the foreign market for its output. In this, both majority and minority united.

The principal figure, Gen eral Plutarco Calles, not only is out of the country, but has been counted out. Actually, the government of Pre sident Lazzaro Cardenas waited until the opposition to Calles was overwhel ming prior to sending him and his three principal supporters to the Unit ed States. Labor had threatened in general strike unless Calles departed. The Roosevelt administration is not likely to tolerate any anti-Mexican government tactics from the United States on the part of Calles. Thus he seems finished. General Calles started out as a re volutionists and ended up as a wealthy land owner. Mexican labor be gan to fear he would invoke fascism. He seemed proceeding in that direc tion.
