Raleigh, Nov. B.—Current agitation over the sixth district congressional situation, a tangled bit of intrigue and wrangling which wound up on selection of Carl Durham as the nom inee in today’s voting, has put Oscar Barker, Durham lawyer and one-time newspaper man, in a strong position for the race two years hence. In fact, the Durham county man is probably better situs! ed for the 1940 campaign than if he had been selected by the congressional commit tee which passed him over in favor of the Orange Durham This is written on the assumption, which seems well founded, that Bar ker will not be chosen today through a systematic “write-in” campaign such as has been urged in his behalf. From this agitation Mr. Barker has remained aloof and, at least so far as the naked eye can discern, in which he hasn’t meddled at all. That should put him in better grade with the re gulars who stick by the committee action Regardless. It was noticeable, too, that Barker took no part in pressing charges of fraud in the first primary voting in High Point. He left that to Greens boro and disgruntled Guilford county candidates. This restraint on the part of the Durham candidate cannot help but make friends for him and gain sup port for the 1940 try if he chooses to make one. It is not at all unlikely that Mr. Durham will not even stand for re election in view of the manner in (Continued on Page Six.)

One group was described in reliable Chinese circles today as approaching the quarter turn of hotly-contest ed race with a fair position at the rail.

The 1937 legislature of 170 members included only ten Republicans. The only chance to whip the unop posed Democrats was'for a sufficient number of Republicans to write in the name of a candidate.

Loans would be made available to growers who did not plant in excess Os their 1938 acre age allotments, ! but who produced more tobacco than their sales allot ments. If the excess were sold, it would be subject to a penalty tax of 50 percent of the gross sale price under pro visions of the 193# farm act. Under the program, farmers would be given the option of storing their excess tobacco in licensed warehouses and obtaining a loan equal to what O PAGES O TODAY “FIVE CENTS COPY In some regions, however, incle ment weather appeared likely to lower the advance estimates. Snow blank eted many western states, and a cold rainstorm was moving over the east. The major offices at stake were 35 Senate seats, 32 governorships, 432 House seats. Only in Maine, which elected a Republican governor and three representatives in September, were no votes being cast. Candidates were many and the issues varied, but in the bulk of the congressional con tests the question of support or oppos ition to Roosevelt policies predominat ed. The President himself appealed only last Friday for election of men who would favor “liberal” proposals. Re publicans, with an eye on 1940, oriti cized the national administration and many of its works, and called for elec tion of candidates advocating a “re turn to the American way.” President Roosevelt was in Hyde Park, where he sealed in. an envelope his own prediction of the outcome. Vice-President Garner was at his home in Ulvalde, Texaß, where he has been since Congress adjourned. In several states where contests have been especially gruelling ten sion was at a high point.

Extremely Light Vote Over State Raleigh, Nov. 8. —(AP) —An extremfe ly light vote up to early afternoon was reported from most parts of normally Democratic North Carolina today, and rain in coastal sections helped to hold down the vote. Charlotte, High Point, Greensboro, Durham, Thomasville, Lexington, Ra leigh, Rocky Mount, New Bern and other places all reported voting was slow. Governor Hoey cast his ballot at his home precinct in Shelby and left by automobile for Raleigh. He had plan ned to hear returns here tonight, but a change in plans made it necessary for him to leave for New York to sign a $4,260,000 bond issue on a sign ing machine. Meanwhile, over in Gaston county, repprts said the vote was unexpected ly heavy. Guilford county’s vote ap parently was hardly going to exceed half the total reported In 1934, it was indicated at midday, and in New Han over it appeared the county would not equal the 1,700 cast four years ago.
