Almost Anything May Happen Now COMTINUEU !HOM '*AGh UNb., tor Rivers p.

The next day, while house and senate were in Joint session to elect trustees of Hi ' State university, he made a motion that the general assembly adjourn, sine die, which motion was ruled out of order. However, talk ot adjoining has been going the rounds and many ot the legislators are known to look on it with favor, except for the appea’ - ance of quitting before finishing tne job. The suggestion .is made that all of the members, by a joint resolu tion, tender their resignations to Hie governor, and let him call another election to get a new group The con stitutionality of the suggestion i question—and the point is made that It would be the same tight all over again. At tills writing a deadlock is not only possible, but eminent. unless some give and take or comprom -e is brought about. The senate, sitting as a committee of the whole, killed the general sales tax overwhelming ly, after the house had included It in the revenue bill by a majority of four. Then the senate killed the so called luxury sales tax bill by the close vote of 26 to 24. the same bit! which the house had killed rvo weeks before by an overwhelming majority.

What will happen there : is a knotty problem. The house may. ! refuse to concur, probably will, and j may refuse a conference committee [report, after a joint house and sat iate committee has ironed out, or attempted tb iron out, the differ i ences. In that case, the deadlock [reached would be hard to break. However, many of the house mem 1 bets: who are supporting the -Mac - [ Lean measure say they are non • vineed it will not give the people | what they think and hope and that | they, in reality, realize the $10,000 - 000 equalizing fund would aid them about as much and would not bur den them with a sales tax. ‘Many citizens, they- point out. have made up their minds that the MacLem measure is their one and only sa1 . ration, will not listen to anything else, reasonable as it may be. ar.d i demand that alone Some legis’.a ..tors'say.that this pressure, based on what they have lieen led to believe will bring complete relief, cause 'them to at temp to give their const! • stittients what they think they want, knowing it is net _what they hope.

Leaders Alert. In one way or another, the lead ership of the North Carolina demo cracy is expected to strain every ef fort between now and the national convention to prevent the material ization of either _.of these dreaded possibilities. Senator Cameron Morrison al ready has assumed an offensive po sition against the ftaskob plan to commit the party to the repeal movement by a platform declara tion The bulk of the state Demo cratic leadership is believed in agreement on the line of argument lie has advanced. Shy Of Wet Stand. North Carolina, leaders, as well as party leaders’ in the other southern states and in dry states in other parts of the country, are expected to direct their efforts toward pre venting the Democratic national convention from making any plat form declaration on prohibition. They would leave all of that to the states. Their line of argument, al ready indicated by Senator Morri son, is to this effects the matter of repeal - of the 18th amendment rests with the states and the authority to submit the question of repeal lies with congress. Members of congress in both the house and the senate are answerable to their individual ■ taf-s and not to the national party organization. A national convention declaration against prohibition would have the inconsistent effect of seeking to instruct Democratic senators and congressmen liow they should vote when that right rests solely with the states which elected them. Governor Koosevrlt. Regarded by state leaders as dan I gerous to an equal degree with a na tional platform declaration would be the nomination for the presidency of a candidate whose advance to fame L'has rested partly, if not solely, upon opposition to prohibition. The as sociation of most of the outstanding j Democratic figures in the so-called i pivotal states with the prohibition | repeal movement has made them i unacceptable to the dry south. Roosevelt, regarded as leading the 'field among the aspirants for Dem ocratic honors, is regarded by poli tical observers as seeking to placate southern Sentiment by lending en couragement to the; movement in |side-track the liquor issue. But he ! lias been so closely associated with j Governor Smith and with the wet element as to cause many of the Democratic leaders in dry territory i to view his nomination with mis givings. Besides, notwithstanding his present attitude, he is an avowed wet. Neither Wet Nor Dry. Getting away from Roosevelt, practically every other Democratic ; national figure from a pivotal state sees' prohibition in a light that is [red in North Carolina. The* demo cracy is always thinking of its ‘plv |otal” state, and Tar Heel leaders ; have been wondering where in tilts kind of state a man might be found | whose nomination would not disturb [ Democratic harmony in North Caro lina. So here conies Governor George ’.Vhltc, who told the Ohio democracy jhe would not have the Democratic gubernatorial nomination if he had to take it as a wringing wet or a bone dry. He got it without becom ing cither, and won the election on other issues. That makes him look mighty good to a North Carolina Democracy, which wants both its candidate and its issues safely re moved front the infernal wrangle over liquor. Home Burned At Kings Mt.

April 13.—Recently a number of women connected with i one of the numerous dry organiza- j tlqns, with headquarters here, .visit ed President Hoover to assure him that the women of the county ap-! predated his support of the dry cause, telling him all the women ol! the country were for him “down to j the last mother.’’ Coincident with this development: Dr. Clarence True Wilson prophe-1 sied that neither the Republicans! j nor the Democrats would nominate I a wet in 1932. These were some of the things that made the Kep ibli can leaders feel better about 'he outlook for their party, because some of them have been apprehens- j | ive over the probable attitude of the j voters in 1932 in the states of the! j northeast. But the ladies who visited the I president recently probably took in] too much territory, in extending felicitations and spying him assur i ancea of support. Mrs. Norton, D**ui cratic committee woman from New! j'ersey, in art address before the! Democratic national committee here. u few weeks ago, was emphatic in declaring that very many women were committed to the policy of rhaur.rr* the dry laws, in the man ner favored by Chairman Raskoo. .while several hundred women, dis satisfied with prohibition, will be here this week, including Mrs. Aug ustine Henly, of North Carolina.
