For Die first time since the im

Roosevelt is an avowed candidate
for the presidency of the United
State. Franklin D. Roosevelt, gov
ernor of New York, made public a
letter Saturday to F. W McLean,
secretary of the North Dakota cen
tral Democratic committee, in which
he proclaimed his willingness to
accept the Democratic nomination.
It marked his formal entrance into
the race for the nomination. In ac
cepting the invitation to have his
name entered in the North Dakota
primaries, Roosevelt called upon his
party to nominate candidates who
stand for progressive ideas of gov
ernment, who represent no mere
section, no narrow partisanship and
no special class.” Roosevelt dele

percent of those who will be sent

believe he will have no serious ob

votes, or two-thirds, to obtain the

City Officials Study
S. P. U. Rate Reaction
Controversy Becomes
Heated Here
No Action On Special Election Like
ly Before Tuesday
Feb. 2. '
Additional light may not be
thrown on the proposed Shelby mu
nicipal light plant sale before
Groundhog Day. and perhaps not
then.
City officials today were reticent
about discussing the proposed sale.
They appear inclined to say noth
; lng until citizens of Shctby have had
| more time to study the Southern
Public Utilities offer of a million
; and one hundred thousand dollars,
particularly that phase of the offer
1 which gives a comparison between
; the present light and power rates
and the S. P. U. scale
No Developments.
Mayor S. A. McMurry said today
there is nothing new *n the matter.
Officials of the city have not dis
cussed the proposal since their meet
ing last week in which they com
piled and published a report show
ing the difference in the two rates.
Just when there will be another of
ficial discussion of the sale he did
not know either. There has been no
mention, he said, of a called session
of the board, and if there is no spe
cial session, nothing of a formal na
ture can be done before Tuesday
night, February 2. when the board
holds its'next regular session.
some lormai action musi oe. ias
en by the aldermen, however at
some future date. It Is up to the
board, once It has studied the re
action and sentiment of citizens, to
refuse to call an election to vote on
the sale, or to call an election and
permit voters to say whether or not
they desire to go through with the
sale.
Debate Matter.
All over the city the light plant
sale topic reigned supreme during
the week-end. From the general
talk, although those favoring the
sale may be saying very little, it
seems as if opposing sentiment is
stronger, but at no point is it im
possible to start an argument. Any
where the sale is mentioned there
are those ready and willing to take
both sides of the controversy. In
numerous instances the arguments
have waxed warm and there is al
ready considerable feeling. The
temper of the controversy is such
that some citizens are opposing the
sale on the argumentative basis
that an election of the proposition
will result in general discord and
bitterness throughout the city. Sup
porters of the movement to sell ar
gue, on the other hand, that the
tax-payers and voters have a right
to express their opinion in an elec
tion.
Anyway, until some defnite move
is made, the light plant debate has
installed itself at the forefront of
local Interest, brushing county poli
tics and economic piatters to side
seats in the public limelight.
Messrs. T. H. and W. A. Aber

Gardner Thinks North Carolina Will
Be One Of First States To Recover
Believes Reconstruction Plan To
Help With Dawes Heading
Group.
Raleigh, Jan, 25—Governor Gard
ner says he believes "when the
weights lifts” North Carolina will
be one of the first states to “push
ahead with accelerated progress,”
“In some important respects
North Carolina was the last state
to substantially feel the effects of
of the business panic. Wo had made j
comprehensive plans to adjust ourj
operations to its demands even be- j
fore its ravages began to shrink'
revenues,
By the time it struck, Governor
Gardner and North Carolina had
adjusted its operations to meet
shrinkage in revenues.
The chief executive saw in Presi
dent Hoover's reconstruction cor
poration a “stabilizing influence” to
"speed the economic recovery of the
country.”
Charles G Dawes “with his hell
and Maria spirit,” will inject a
"dynamic personality” Into the
corporation as its head, Governor
Gardner said:
"North Carolina, along with every
state in the union, is today suffer
ing under the blight of economic
conditions prevailing throughout
the world.
“The encouraging ray of light ami
hope for us in North Carolina is
seen in the fact .that our citizen
ship and our government have
recognized conditions for, what they
are and have made stupendous ef
forts to adjust themselves to weath ■
er the storm.
"In some important respects
North Carolina was the last state
to substantially feel the effects of
the effects of the business panic.
We had made comprehensive plans
to adjust our operations to its de
mands even before its ravages be -
gan to shrink revenues.
“X feel, therefore, it is not unrea
sonable to believe that we may be
the first state to escape from its
grasp. We have put our house in
order. We have not only adjusted
our operations to live through it,
but when its weights lifts, this state
will surely be one of the first to be
able to move off of the present
plane and push ahead with an ac
cellerated progress,
"Also. I am encouraged to believe
that- the enactment of the recon
struction finance corporation wi’l
have a stabilizing influence and
that its early functioning under
efficient officers and directors will;
speed the economic recovery of the
country."

State's departments and ln

! t ank Dunlap, personnel director
and Henry Burke, assistant budget
director, have completed a tenta
tive schedule of cuts which are be
ing studied by Governor Gardner,
who says the final word.
State workers In Raleigh, and in
the institutions elsewhere, have been
in a state of frenzy fcr several
weeks, fearing they may be laid off
or that their incomes will be reduc
ed. Most of them have been reduc
ed. some only 50 cents a month,
some several hundred dollars, from
the low to the high. It it stated by
Governor Gardner that the high
sRlaried will not be spared, that all
must be reached. However, In a few
instances, rare and unusual, salar

Increased.
