Raleigh, July (J.—Sufficient time i has now elapsed since the G. O. p. nominated Wendell Willkie to pre I sent something like an accurate rounduj. of sentiment on Raleigh's C'apitol Hill, where the "boys" have of late been diverted from their fa vorite State politics to considera tion of the national scene. There are to be found three very distinct schools of thought, with a fourth composed somewhat of a mix ' hire of those belonging to the other three. First, there is the majority sen timent that the Willkie-McNary ticket is a go:>d one. and that if it is elected the country will have a \irile American administration. Not many in thib group will admit that , Willkie will win. though it is evi ' dent that some of them think he will, ; or at least that he has an excellent ' lighting chance. A very scattered | lew whisper in confidence that they : will vote for the G. O. P. nominee. 1 IF . Sometimes the "if" is il Roosevelt is nominated, sometimes ! it's if he isn't. The second class is composed ot Democrats and New Dealers who welcome a clearcut issue. This school sees Willkie as the very personifica tion of Big Business. Spokesmen (self-appoimed, of course) ot this i group say this is the first time the ' real bosses of the Republican party have been honest and daring enough to come out in the open. They con tend that the issue is now <:iiite sim iContinued on page two) German Capital Ablaze With Celebra tion as Hitler Comes Home From Conquest in West. Berlin. July H.—(AD— Adolf Hit !

If three-year control is adopted quotas could be doubled or trebled if the tobacco exports trade, crippled by foreign wars, is revived, Hutson said. A recent amendment to the federal farm act prevents the reduction of quotas by more than 10 percent. However, he said, allotments can and will be increased if the demand Tor tobacco increases; if we are able to regain some of our lost forei^i markets; and when we reduce our present surplus of tobacco. Hutson was scheduled to speak in Smithfield at another mass meeting this afternoon.

State Hull's note warning th;it the Monroe doc trine must be respected expressed .Mirprise at the United State* atti tude in regard to changes in the western hemisphere, authoritative sources declared today. These sources said that the Reich, contrary tr; the actions taken by other countries, particularly England and France, never intended nor gave reason for the assumption that she | was interested in acquiring such property. Thus the United States note, ac cording to authorized quarters, is re garded as devoid of application by the reich.
