RASKRRVILL Raleigh, Nov. 19.—A bitter and pro bably a much longer fight over the liquor question is expected to develop in the forthcoming General Assembly, since it has been learned that the State Liquor Control Commission will in all probability recommend the en actment of a Statewide liquor control and liquor stores law and the aboli tion of the present county control sys tem in the 18 “wet” counties which now have liquor stores. It is now re garded ag certain that the liquor fact finding commission which has foeen conducting its inquiry and investiga tion into various liquor control plans and systems, and which is now writ ing its report to submit to Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus and the 1937 Gen eral Assembly, will strongly recom ment a Statewide liquor control and liquor stores plan and probably criti cize the present county control sys tem quite vigorously. All of which means that the 18 counties now have county liquor stores, entirely under county control, will put up a determined and vigorus fight to keep their autonomy over li quor and its sale within their boun daries, it is frankly agreed here.

HENDERSON, N. C., THURSDAY AFTERNOO N, NOVEMBER 19, 1936 MO. PLEADER I I Republicans Realize They Must Dispose of Hamil ton and Landon TO PLAN NOW FOR 1940 Trouble I*. Republicans Don’t Know How To Be Minority Party; Necessity for Immediate Move Recognized By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Nov. 19.—Republicans generally agree with Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the G. O. P. na tional committee that their party must be “revitalized” or it is done for, permanently. They also agree with him that re vitalization must begin immediately; that it can’t “take” if it isn’t begun until nearly the last minute in 1940. What they doubt is that it can be revitalized in any circumstances with Alf M. Landon as its nominal ieader and Hamilton’s management—or mis management, as many of them speak of it. A HINT TO HAMILTON Republican leaders laugh, but not a bit mirthfully, when Hamilton talks of getting together with Landon to plan for the future. Their notion is that the sooner Hamilton is retired the better, and they say that his successor’s first bus iness will be to start on the job of building up a 1940 candidate —most emphatically some other . candidate than Landon. They reason also that it was a cap ital mistake to try to make the west a center of Republican strength. They know why the attempt was made. The (Continued on Page Four.)

She repeated her charges that hte Fascist powers had started the Span ish revolution and had consistently aided the insurgents materially. From neither side was there any outward sign that the international non-intervention committee, organized by France and Great Britain to isolate the Spanish revolution, would itself crack up Immediately.
