In The Sir Walter Hotel, nr J. C. BABKERVIIJ. Raleigh, June 13. —There is no doubt that t lie State Democratic Con vention, which met here yesterday, was overwhelmingly for Clyde R. Hooy for governor rather than for Dr. Ralph W McDonald. It was almost impossible to find a delegate that was not wearing a “Hoey for Governor” button on his coat lapel and many of those questioned estimated that at least 90 per cent of the more than 3,- 000 delegates at the convention were for l-loe> and would work for him enthusiastically in the second primary campaign. When Mr. Hoey entered the conven tion hall, to take his seat as a mem ber of :he Cleveland county delega tion the proceedings of the conven tion were completely disrupted for a time. The cheering and applause start ed as soon as the delegates on the side of the hall where the Cleveland county delegation was seated recog nized the tall, erect, frock-coated and smiling orator from Shelby.

Pittsburgh’s Mayor Object Os Warrants m. 11 Pittsburgh, Pa., June 13.—(AP) — Judge Ralph A. Smith, directed the district attorney today to swear out a warrant charging Mayor William N. McNair with malfeasance and mis feasance in office. The order came after McNair vir» tually stopped business at Pitts burgh’s 13 police stations because Judge Smith directed a grand jury in vestigation of police conditions. Officers seized the records of a half dozen magistrates and iMlayor McNair said they were unable to do Ihusiness or send prisoners to jail without their records. The mayor himself is a magistrate and the grand jury order for records included those of his. court. Several men charged with drunken ness were brought before the mayor, and he instructed Police Lieutenant Walter Mullen to take the prisoners to Judge Smith. Judge Smith sent for the mayor, hut he failed to appear, and the order for the warrant was then issued.

Democrats Will Reduce Sales Taxes State Convention Pledges Removal on Basic Foods; Backs Roosevelt Raleigh, June 13. —(AP) —The Dem ocratic party in North Carolina was pledged today to remove the sales tax from meals and basic foods. The Party’s 1936 platform, adopted in the Democrats’ biennial convention yesterday, contained the first direct reference to the controversial sales tax since 1928. The convention, without qualifica tion, endorsed both the national and State administrations, and bound the State’s 26 votes in the national con vention to President Roosevelt. In dealing with the sales tax, the convention’s platform set forth that it could not be eliminated now in its entirety. The platform committee wrangled over a “wet” or “dry” plank, and then compromised by making no reierence to liquoi control at all. Besides taking a stand on the sales tax, the convention proposed state and interstate control of crop produc tion through legislation allowing com pacts, conservation of highway funds to provide adequate maintenance of highways and improvements to local roads, a reduction of auto license costs by the 1937 legislature, enact ment of State and interstate laws to promote the betterment of working conditions, continued cooperation with the national administration and a “reasonable” increase in the school program. Legion Men Arraigned In Death Probe Detroit, Mich., June 13.—(AP) Fourteen men were arraigned today on charges of conspiracy to murder political opponents of the black le gion.

Doisine, mayor of suburban Ecorse. Pleas of innocence were entered for all the men. Their bonds were set at $25,00J each, and all were returned to jail. Among those arraigned was the for mer mayor of Highland Park, N. Ray iMtarkland, recently suspended as an investigator for Prosecutor Duncan C. (Continued on Page Two.) HENDERSON, N.

Sucli seems to be the opinion of tne old line Republicans (Old Guard and others) who had to accept Landon. They are in a fog. Indeed they are fearful. Kansas has not been known for tol erance of eastern ideas. MONEY The east is more fearful over money than any other thing. Kansas may balance the budget which, of course, is liked. But Kansas is a farm state and the farm states are afire with a FRANCE TO REIECT NEW LEAGUE Pfj N British Proposal for Region al Group Is Held To Be Destructive Paris, June 13 (AP) —France will reject a British proposal to reorgan ize League of Nations members into regional groups, authoritative sources declared today, as “destructive to the entire structure of collective security.” Informed sources called the sugges tions, reported to have been made by Sir George Clerk, British ambassa dor to Paris, to Premier Leon Blum, “impossible” because of the League “districts” proposed. The British plan was reported to have advanced two ideas: 1. Cancellation of sanctions against Italy on the ground the war penalties failed to halt the conquest of Ethio pia. 2.

The Republican party, as now con stituted, has veered close to the old Democratic borderline. Furthermore, it is closer to the Democratic party of William Jennings Bryan than to the gold standard Democratic party of Grover Cleveland. And if you do not believe that gives the old line Republicans the shivers you have not met them face to face. They return to New York with no joy in their faces. WHICH?

FOLGER NAMED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE Sandy Graham’s Manager Made National Commit tee From State Daily Dlsi>nt<’h Burenn, In The Sir Walter Hole., Pf J Vj. baskervill Raleigh, June 13.—A. D. (Lon) Fol ger, of iMbunt Airy, who was State campaign manager for Lieutenant Governor A. H. (Sandy) Graham in his campaign for governor, was un animously elected national commit teeman from North Carolina by the delegates elected to the Democratic National Convention after they had been instructed to elect Folger by a unanimous vote of the delegates to the State Democratic Convention. The motion that Folger be elected national committeeman on the instructions of the convention, was made by George Ross Pou, who has just, been nominat ed for State auditor by a clear mar jority over three other candidates. Miss Beatrice Cobb*, of Morganton, Burke county, was re-elected national committcewoman without opposition. Miss Cobb is not only regarded as be ing one of the most popular of the leaders among the women Democrats but as one of the most capable Dem ocratic leaders in the entire State and her handling of her post as national committeewoman has been highly ac ceptable to all the men as well as the women in the Democratic party in. the State. The election of Folger as national committeeman was not only a sharp slap at C. Leßoy Shuping, whose name was not mentioned in the en tire convention and for whom the skids had long been greased, but an open gesture of courtship to the for mer supporters of Sandy Graham Iby both the Hoey and McDonald forces.

China, June 13. —(AP) — Six destroyers and one cruiser of the Jap anese navy arrived here today and loanded Marines. The landing of Marines, it was said, was to protect Japanese lives and property. A Japanese naval officer said the seven vessels were ready to proceed to Canton at a moment’s notice in case of necessity. Reports of hostilities Ibetween the forces of the central (Nanking) gov ernment and of South China were re ceived here today. Skirmishes were said to have oc curred along the Fukien border. The central government of China increased its military preparation to day as civilians in both North and South China demonstrated against Japan. In Peiping 3,000 students marched through the streets shouting epithets against Japan. In Canton, the south tern capital, 100,000* civilians, shep herded by soldiers, marched in a si milar demonstration. Industrial Level Hits 1936 Peak New York, June 13 (AP) —Indus- trial activity jogged into new high ground for the year today, the seven th new 1936 peak in nine weeks. The Asociated Press index, at 90.3 this week, was above 90 per cent of the 1929-30 average for the first time since June, 1930. Last week the in dex stood at 89.4 and a year ago at 71.3.

Automobile output, dropping consid erably less for the week, tended to buoy the steel rate by its high level. Freight car loadings moved in bet ter than seasonal volume, and coal shipments were sharply lower. Residential building and electric poweer production established new peaks for the year. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY ny? m 2 AT THE PLATFORM Borah Shies Away From Reservations Made By Governor Landon as G. O. P. Candidate TWO-FISTED DRIVE PLANNED, HOWEVER “No-Quarter” Campaign To Displace New Deal To Be Mapped by Landon and Knox at Conference To Be Held Monday at Topeka; Hoover Ready for Stump Cleveland, June 13. (AP) —Under a new and younger leadership, the Re publicans began the groundwork to day for a two-fisted, no quarter cam paign to displace the New Deal. While Governor Alf M. Landon and Colonel Frank Knox prepared to dis cuss tactics Monday in Topeka, the field staff carried back to the rank and file in all states the militant mes sage of its unanimous convention. Some hazards to harmony began to arise with dissatisfaction among cer tain western independents as they re flected over the platform. Senator William E. Borah, who had pretty much his way in the policy de clarations, only to have Landon late* proclaim some personal planks, in cluding monetary views opposed by the Idahoan, withheld any pledge of support. Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota left Cleveland saying the platform had more chance to draw “reactionary support in the east than to regain" western progressives. In Washington, Senator Norris, Re publican, Nebraska, said “reaction aries are in control,” and predicted the re-election of President Roosevelt. In contrast with these statements was a flood of laudatory • comment from party members. Herlbert Hoover announced that “the ticket and the platform suit me fine.’’ He is expect ed to hold himself in readiness for a call to take the stump.

While state officials scanned insur ance records of three recent victims of poison, Trial Justice George B. Haas, of Ludlow, called for a "thor ough going investigation not only of these present cases, but those over a course of years.” “There have been between 35 and 50 suspicious deaths in Ludlow, Chi copee and the Indian Orchard sec tion of Springfield,” declared Judge Haas. “By suspicious,” he continued, “I (Continued on Page Four.)
