McDonald Thinks He Can Beat Any of The Other Three Demo cratic Candidates Raleigh, April 15.—Gilliam Gris som, the Republican candidate forj Governor of North Carolina, expects to be the next Governor of North Carolina —and especially if the Demo crats nominate Dr. Ralph W. Mc- Donald as their candidate, he said here today, although he believes he can defeat any candidate the Demo crats may nominate. “I am confident I car. win over any one of the four Democratic can didates for gubernatorial nomina tion, so that it makes no difference to me which one of the four is nomi nated,” Grissom said. "And while I have said I was confident I would be elected if Dr. McDonald should be the Democratic nominee, I am equal ly confident I could defeat Clyde R. Hoey, A. H. Graham or John A. Mc- Rae. “For while Dr. McDonald may be considered ultra-radical by some members of his party, there are other Democrats who regard Mr. Iloey as being ultra-conservative. Mr. Graham seems to be the middle of-the-road candidate from what I hear, although I have little opportun ity to talk with those supporting him to learn of their attitude. I likewise know very little of Mr. Mcßae, but do not think I would have much dif ficulty in defeating him, should he be (he Democratic nominee.” If Grissom should be elected Gov ernor in the November election, he would be the first Republican Governor elected in North Carolina in 40 years. Many of the Repub lican leaders of the state are as confident as Grissom that he will be elected Governor this fall, point ing out that since Grissom is not as radical and extreme in his views, specially with regard to taxation, ts is McDonald, that he would undoubtedly get the votes of enough conservative Democrats to assure his election, should Mc- Donald be nominated. On the other hand, if either Hoey or Graham should be nominated, the Republican leaders believe that a 1 very large number of the McDonald Democrats would vote for Grissom rather than for the Democratic nominee, since in many respects the flaform of Grissom and McDonald are almost identical, in that both arc caustic critics of past Democratic ad ministrations, both oppose the sales lax Bnd favor larger appropriations foi schools, old age pensions- ®od so forth.

S. Crop Report ing Service may be more of a help than ever before to the farmers of the State, an effort is now being made to perfect this census and make it more complete than ever before, Commissioner of Ariculture W. A. Graham said. Accordingly, letters 1 are now being sent out to some 76,- 000 farmers, most of whom failed to report their farm census figures last year, urging them to report their fig ures this year and calling attention to the benefits of having a census that is 100 per cent correct. Last year 250,267 farmers co-op erated in the census and reported their farm planting figures at the time they gave in their taxes, leav ing between 60,000 and 75,000 who either failed to report their census data or who failed to make a com plete report. The names of these 60,- 000 or more farmers have since been obtained by the crop reporting serv ice and during the past few days Frank Parker, State statistician, has (Confined on back page) 'BLANKS MAILED FOR SALE OF COTTON IN ESCROWFOR LOANS Farmers Who Wish to Sell Bales Held Under U. S. Loans May Do So Washington, April 14.—Commodity Corporation officials said today ap plication forms for farmers who wish to sell cotton held under 12-cent loans are in the mails and movement of 1,- 000,000 bales to market should begin tomorrow or Thursday. Approximately 4,500,000 bales from the 1934 crop are held under 12 cent loans. The corporation recently an nounced a plan for release of 1,000.- 000 bales of this amount. The applications will be available at the RFC loan agencies or the county agents’ offices, officials said, end the cotton will be released under a policy of “first come, first •served.” After farmers have applied for release of 1,000,000 bales, the release automatically will be stopped. To obtain release of the cotton, producers must pay a price equal to a quarter of a cent a pound less than the average spot price of cotton, but r.ot less than 11.25 cents a pound. The Commodity Credit Corporation will assume the carrying charges on the cotton which has been in storage for more than a year, and the loss incurred by permitting the producers to regain the cotton at less than the market price. It was said a large amount of the loan cotton is of high quality in both grade and staple and that the pro ducers should be able to sell it for considerably more than 11.25 cents a pound. Under the CCC regulations, the corporation will continue to pay storage charges for 10 days after the applications for withdrawal have been filed. However,- producers must pay storage, freight and compres sion charges on cotton which has been reconcentrated from the origi nal point of storage and must be moved again.

ALL gTo.PROADS WILL LEAD INTO CLEVELAND SOON Party to Meet in Same Build ing Which Saw Coolidge Nominated in 1924 Cleveland, April 15. —The Republi can party will launch its attack upon the “new deal” from Ohio’s greatest hall June 9. In choosing Cleveland for what may be the most colorful G. O. P. convention in years, the ;>. i \v ?. (t --ed to meet in the same building which saw Calvin Coolidge nomi nated —1,065 to 44, on the first bal lot—in 1924. But this year’s assemblage is ex pected to be considerably more in teresting some leaders predict it may reach even the boisterous stage—than that 12 years ago. An enlarged hall will greet the 1936 delegates. Its main auditori um and adjoining music hall, di vided by a vast open stage, will seat 14,200 persons. Additional thousands may be accommodated in 15 other halls beneath the roof of the Italian renaissance structure, all of which are to be connected by an. augmented public address sys tem.

Hall Costs $9,000,000 The hall proper cost $9,000,000. An adjoining underground exhibi tion hall, representing an additional expenditure of $2,000,000, will be available for parking purposes. In 1928 one of the crucial battles in the pre-convention campaign was fought in Ohio with Col. Carmi A. Thompson, of Cleveland aligned with the then secretary of commerce against a “favorite son,” Senator Frank B. Willis. In the background, directing the primary and pre-conven tion campaign from his position in the department of commerce, was another Ohioan, Walter F. Brown of Toledo, who subsequently became postmaster general. Five major party conventions have been held in Ohio. Three of these were staged in Cincinnati— the Democratic convention in 1856, the Republican convention of 1876 end the Democratic convention of !88U. Columbus was the site of the Liberal Republican convention of 1872. The last was the 1924 con vention here. Ohio in the past century has given the country six Presidents: William H. Harrison, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley (two terms), William How. ard Taft and Warren G. Harding. Three Ohio nominees were de feated: Harrison, in 1936; Taft, in 1912, when a split occurred in the : Republican party, and James M. • Cox, in 1920, when as Democratic i nominee he was defeated by a fellow ' Ohioan, Harding.
