Best. Friend Business
Ever Had; He Is Hie
Peoples Candidate, and
Should Be Drafted for
Four More Years
Raleigh, May 2.?Democrats of the
Fourth District, young and old, are
still applauding the powerful plea for
renoruination of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt made here Monday by
Senator Claude Pepper.
The Florida law makers appeal for
Roosevelt as "the best friend business,
even big business, ever had" fitted in
complete harmony with the current
"North Carolina for Roosevelt" drive
which its sponsors are confident will
result in sending a Tar Heel dele
gation to the Chicago convention
pledged unanimously to case 26 votes
for Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Senator Pepper told a widely
cheering audience that the president
be drafted as the people's candidate
is "no candidate for office" but must
if the gains of the New Deal are to
be preserved and enlarged.
"There aren't any more honors in
America to heap upon him," said
Senator Pepper, "no more homage
could they give him if he lived for-!
ever as President, than they have
given him in the dark hours of trial.
"But Roosevelt is the people's can-'
didate for four more years in the I
White House?until we can see i
through the clouds."
-a. 4.^ u+^11 I
ne scouea at cunae-i vautca
us that the best way to save the
country and the world is to do noth
ing for either," and declared that
Roosevelt "has been the best friend
business, even big business ever had,
because we know that the only way
big business can live is for little
business to thrive, and Roosevelt
was the first President in twenty
years upon whose retina little busi
ness has been able to register an im
age."
The Senator disclaimed any inten
tion to be disrespectful of old lead
ers but added "we are not blind and
we know they did not do anything
about these things."
"But we do know, thank God,
Franklin p. Roose-elt. We do know
that he sees the same things as we
see, and that he has been doing
something about them, even against
the doleful prophets who speak for
the dead. Franklin D. Roosevelt has
saved our inheritance for us. He did
not let our estate, handed down to us
by the blood of our forbears, the kind
n-f IsvpKmm wtvi oKorl f-JiAir hlnod at
Kings Mountain, the kind of forbears
who gave us the Declaration of Meck
lenburg, collapse and fall to pieces.
He has lightened our debt. He has
. concerved our resources when they
were being squandered by an irre
ponsible trustee. He has made us
healthier. He has thrown a lot of
rotten apples out of the barrel of our
national life, and gently enough he
has kicked the pants of a lot of fel
lows who were snooping and trying
to steal most of the good apples left
in the barrel."
He marshalled a host of Republican
witnesses, past and present, to rebut |
arguments against a third term.
"They forget that they were not
afraid of a third term for Coolidge,"
he said, citing the later Senator Sim
eon Fess; the late Congressman Snell,
Republican leader of the House; "that
rather conservative figure, Herbert
Hoover"; the rather honorable and
respectable Chief Justice of the Uni
ted States", Charles E. Hughes; "that
rather substantial business man"
Henry Ford; and others who wanted
a third term for coolidge.
He declared Americans will not
give up President Roosevelt until the
aims of the New Deal are secure..
He landed Governor Clyde Hoey for
favoring the President's renomina
tion, and expressed his great pleasure
at bring invited to speak in "the
oldest liberal state in the South."

Intentions if Italy
Ambassador William
Phillips Confers With
Mussolini
Rome, May 1.?United States Am
bassado William Phillips today call
ed upon Premier Mussolini to receive
first-hand information on Italy's po
sition and intentions in view of re
cent developments in the internat
ional situation.
Political circles regarded the visit
as particularly timely for the oppor
tunity provided to obtain a clarified
view of the Italian policy on the face
of the strained Mediterranean situ
ation and constant rumors concern
ing possible future developments.
The impression prevailed in politi
cal quarters that no change in Italy's
policy of non-belligerency was in
prospect.
Meanwhile, Italian authorities
considered in official silence the 'pre
cautionary' diversion of through
British Empire shipping from the
Mediterranean to the long routes
around the tip of Africa.
Individuals, who get hot and both
ered over what is going to happen
to the world, ought to worry about
something else.

My Seeking
Labor Gbaatos
Tar Heel Congressman
Would Exemp^Tobac
co Processors From La
bor Act
? ?
Washington, May 1.?Representa
tive Harold D. Cooley of North Caro
lina, today urged the House to adopt
an amendment to the Wage and Hour
Act specifically exempting from the
law's provisions those employees en
gaged in handling, drying, shipping,
grading, redrying, fermenting, stem
ming, packing and storing leaf to
bacco.
In seeking to have such an amend
ment included in the Norton bill,
Representative Cooley pointed out
that at the time of arguments on
the Wage and Hour Act he had been
assured 'that the exemptions he
seeks were specifically provided for
in the Biermann amendment, which
was incorporated into the act. A
similar amendment was introduced in
the Barden amendments, today de
feated in the House.
Specific exemption of some work
ers in the tobacco industry, the
Fourth District representative stated,
is necessary because of the difficul
ties in applying provisions of the law
as it new stands in respect to tobacco j
warehousemen and stemming and
drying plants. He said that those'
charged with administering the law j
1 tiTI?

tation distorted and defeated the in
tention of Congress."
"I would have sought a specific
amendment to this act at the time
the act was being considered two
years ago had I not been assured
that the Biermann amendment could
not be misconstrued," Representa
tive Cooley declared.

ROOSEVELT'S JUNE TOUR.
.
The political situation, on the Dem
ocratic side, finds the President prac
tically assured of a renomination if
he will accept it from the convention
in Chicago. Meanwhile, James A.
Farley and Paul V. McNutt continue
to make speeches, which are general
ly accepted as placing them in the
running if the President decides not
to seek a third term. Cordell Hull,
making no speeches and declaring
himself not a candidate, is also con
sidered as a possibility if the Presi
dent retires. The campaign of Vice
President Garner is making little or
no progress, although it is possible,
if the President runs, that the Vice
President will be the other man on
the ticket again.
In the Republican ring of the
political circus, the figure of Thomas
?. Dewey looms larger than it did
a few weeks ago. This does not
mean that the New Yorker has the
nomination in the bag, although he
has made substantial gains through
the revelation of strength in recent
primaries. Senators Taft and Ven
denberg are not out of the running.
The former is credited with consider
able convention strength, which, after
all, is what determines the nominee.
About all that one can say of the
Wendell Willkie, Frank Gannett and
other booms at this time is that they
j are interesting but the group is out
of the running unless there is a dead
lock between other contenders and
the convention turns to a dark horse
for the solution of the problem.
Last week it seemed likely that
the Special Senate campaign expendi
tures investigating committee would
make some kind of an inquiry into
the charges that Dewey supporters in
Wisconsin and Nebraska indulged in
excessive expenditures. Nothing if
ficial was announced but the inquiry
is regarded as certain in view of
complaints that are being circulated.
The Dewey people deny that undue
expenditures were made, Opponents
are watching the matter closely,
figuring that possibly the revelation
of excessive expenditures, if they
were made, might have the same ef
fect on the Dewey candidacy that the
1920 revelations had on the prospects
of General Wood and Governor Lou
won.
The status of the political cam
paign thus far continues to be un
certain with neither party knowing
what the main issue will be until
President Roosevelt makes known his
position. This naturally handicaps
the candidates and politicians. Ap
parently, the nation will have to
wait until the Democrats meet in
Chicago to learn what the President
will do. .
I
* "V* ? ? *
Until that time, Republican can
didates can hardly develop "full pow
er" in their campaign for the presi
dency. To devote much attention to
the third term issue, or in assailing
the President's policy, might repre
sent a waste of time and energy if
Mr. Roosevelt retires. Consequent
ly, the prospect is that the political
battle this year will not begin In
earnest until after the Democrats
conclude their labor in'Chicago.
For 160 years, be said, the. United

While public Attention in this coun

Affairs got a pessimistic report on
the Far East from Bear-Admiral J.
K. Taussig, who testified in support

the Navy Department promptly dis
claimed responsibility for his com
ments and made it clear that his
testimony was "contrary to the Navy
Department's views," the Admiral
bluntly expressed his inability to see
how we can prevent being drawn
into the war on account of the Far

_
Wilssn, May 1.?Agents of the Wil
son County ABC Board captured a
truckload of bonded liquor here early
yesterday, it was announced by T. E.
Dillon, chairman of the board. There
were 81 cases in pints and half-pints,
about 237 gallons in all, he said.
Special Agents W. E. Pennington
and Mose Whitley of the ABC Board
captured the truck and E. M. Dicker
son, the driver, as it was about to
start through town.
It could not be learned where the
liquor was consigned, but on each
case of liquor was the label "E. Kahn
and Company, Baltimore, Md.," and
also stamped with a rubber stamp on
each case were the words, "Robert W.
Fitzhugh, Lillington, N. C."
It is understood that the truck was
owned by a Goldsboro man and. that
Dickerson is from Goldsboro. He
was being held here today without
bond pending investigation. It was
the largest liquor haul by ABC agents
here in several years.
New Registration
Going Over Tine'
*? ? i i m
J, H. Harrell, ch/Jrman of the
County Board of Elections, today ex
pressed the opinion that a Large num
ber of citizens would qualify to par
ticipate in the primary and election,
despite the fact a new registration
was ordered and only those persons
who re-register will be permitted to
take part in the balloting.
"The registration seems to be com
paratively heavy in all of the sec
tions from which I have heard," de
clared the elections board official. j
Approximately 9",000 persons par
ticipated in the 1938 primary and the
chairman daid he expected nearly
that many to be qualified to vote in
the May 25th primary.
The books will be open at the vari
ous polling places each of the next
two Saturdays and persons may reg
