Ehringhaus signed a com plete pardon August 5 for Gus Colon Langley, of Morristown, N. J., who faced electrocution here for murder seven times, but formal issuance has been withheld pending receipt from New Jersey officials of information showing Langley has been of good conduct in recent months.

Russell. The commutation for the man fol lowed an exhaustive study by Gill, in cluding the holding of hearings in scattered places over the State to take testimony. His sentence was com muted on September 7 1933, and he was paroled October 31, 1934.

OlipntrSi Burma, la The Sir Walter Hate., RrJ. C. BASKKKVIM, Raleigh, Sept. I.—Not how “liberal” but how I‘regular” will ibe Liberal Democrat* be in the November elec tion, is the question which has many of the leaders of the “regular” Dem ocrats more worried than they want to admit at the present time, it is privately admitted by a good many of the oldline Democrats here and else where over the State.

In fact, spokea men for the Liberal Democrats main tain that Roosevelt will get more votes .from their number than from the 'so-called “.regular” Democrats as those who supported and nominated Clyde R.

They are convinced that a good many of the “regular” Demo crats who undoubtedly will vote for Mr. Hoey for governor will vote for Governor Landon rather than for Roosevelt for President.

What is worrying the leaders of the “regulars” is how many of the “lib erals" are likely to bolt the State Democratic ticket and vote for Gil liam Grissom, the Republican candi date for governor, instead of for Clyde R. Hoey, the Democratic can didate. For, in spite of the recent de claration by Dr. W. C. House, of Tar boro, president of the Liberal Demo crats, that he and hig fellow liberals are “going to vote the straight Dem ocratic ticket , from top to bottom, even for Senator Josiah W. Bailey,” a good many of the conservative Democrats are wondering whether Dr. House is really able to speak for the 212,000 who voted for Dr. McDonald for governor and who were bitterly opposed to Mr. Hoey. They concede, of course, that a majority of these 212,- 000 “liberal” Democrats will undoubt edly remain “regular" and vote for Mr. Hoey.

ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA RISE UWER LANDON Capital Still Fearful of Roosevelt’s New Deal Program in U. S. By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Sept. 1. —Big business men unquestionably are strongly in clined to promise a large and imme diate increase in employment if Gov ernor Landon Js elected to the White House. At the offices of such organizations as the United States Chamber of Com merce and the National Association of Manufacturers, pro-Landon senti ment is unmistakable. It is a commonplace that, while business itself has been improving for some time, as reflected in higher di vidends and advancing stock market prices, the number of idle workers has not been reduced corresponding ly, nor has there ibeen much of an upward tendency in workers’ incomes to offset mounting living costs. Na turally, indeed, wages cannot be ex pected to rise appreciably with so huge a pool of unemployment. COMPELLED To REPLENISH The big business version is that Its markets are better, because folk who have airy money at all, but have been hangitifc onto it desperately, have so far deleted their stores of Seml-per manent supplies that they simply are compelled to replenish them. Also - enormous government spend ing is given a share of the credit. But capital, big business spokes men say, still is afraid of the New Deal in the long run. Therefore (this is big ibusiness’ account), though it takes thankful advantage of the qual ified bulge, it hesitates to go into any great amount of "expanding. It Continued on Page Two.) CLOSE CHECK KEPI ON DRUNK DRIVERS Patrol Watches Group Whose Licenses Have Been Revoked Dally Dispatch Bareaa In The Sir Wnlrcr Hotel, By J. C. BASHERV*. Jjlj Raleigh, Sept. I—Does the highway safety division or the highway patrol make any effort to keep track of the drivers who have been convicted of drunken driving and other offenses for which their licenses have been re voked and to see that they do not drive automobiles while the revoca tions are in effect? Or after a driv ing permit has been revoked is that the end of it? . . These questions have been asked by both individuals and newspaper edi tors recently following the incident in Raeford, Hoke county, where the judge of the recorder’s court gave a convicted drunken driver a pfermit to drive his car after 90 days, even though the highway safety division had revoked his driving license for one year, as the law decrees. But When this driver was brought before Superior Court Judge R. Hunt Parker he was not only sentenced to 18 months on a second charge of drunk en driving, but given four months more on the roads for driving while hie license was revoked —a total of 22 months on the roads. Careful Check Kept answer to these questions from safety'''department and highway pa trol officials is that a constant and careful check is kept on all of the nearly 6,000 drivers whose licenses have been revoked, chiefly for drunk en driving, with the result that very few of these drivers can attempt to drive without being apprehended. They also indicated that the trouble in enforcing the drivers’ license law was not any fault on the part of of ficers in arresting violators, but more (Continued on Page Three.) HENDERSON, N.
