For if the Farm Bu reau continues to gather in members and during the next few months as it has in the last five or six, many believe that it will not only be one of the most potent political organiza tions in the State, but that it will also be one of the best financed, and hence be able to maintain one of the big gest and most expensive lobbies here during the General Assembly, just as it does in Washington. It is generally conceded that the lobby maintained by the American Farm Bureau in Washington is one of the largest and most powerful in the nation, and that Continued on Page Five.)

Winborne Expecting Huge Lead Dally Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By .1. C. BASKFRVIM. Raleigh, Oct. 26. —State Democratic Chairman J. Wallace Winborne, a careful and methodical man, has been working some political arithmetic of late preparatory to predicting the Democratic vote and majority, but he is not yet ready to give the answer. The trouble is that the figures look a little too good to the chairman and he doesn’t want to climb out on a limb. Incidentally, four years ago this same careful and methodical man took his pencil in hand to predict the majority of 1932. When the answer came out something over 250,000 he decided that was too good and put the prediction away instead of giving it to the press, thereby missing a chance to ibuild up his reputation as a poli tical prophet. The actual Democratic majority was 287,000—far more than anybody but Old Man Mathematics foresaw. The other day Chairman Winborne wrote each of the 100 county chair men asking for their forecast of both (Continued on Page Three.) called the New Deal’s evasion of is sues, and said the issue was whether the American people wanted a dic tatorship of a foreign kind.

In a brief announcement, the tri bunal agreed to pass on challenges of the legislation filed by The Associat ed Press and tby the Washington, Vir ginia and Maryland Coach Company. The act was sustained by lower courts in both controversies. The statute guarantees collective bargaining to labor and sets up a na tional labor relations board to settle industrial disputes. In acting on approximately 30 ap peals, the court also refused to speed up a final ruling on a petition by Il linois Communists to compel State of ficials to place the names of the com munist candidates for president and vice-president on the ballot for the November 3 election. That action made it impossible for the court to act on the petition until after the election. It adjourned today until No vember 9, and will spend the inter vening time writing opinions on cases argued during the last two weeks. Seven cases involving New Deal legislation already were under review by the court. No decision on any of these disputes is likely before Decem ber or January. FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

TRADE POLICY WAS _ PLAN BFI. HULL 1 Secretary Loyally Gives President Credit That Belongs to Hull By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Oct. 26—It was loyal and self-abnegating in Secretary of State Cordell Hull to deny all credit for his international trade policy, and to give credit to President Roosevelt. But it wasn’t overly accurate. I am not sure just how long it is since Secretary Hull first outlined me his philosophy of international trade and financial relationships. How ever, it was when he was in the House of Representatives, In the meantime he has served a term ir. the Senate and nearly four years in the cabinet. Thus it was a decade or one and a half at the least calculation. It was the same philosophy, to a “T” that he has put into practice m the State Department.
