Roosevelt To Be Nominated First Ballot, His Leader Believes Now Says Favorite Sons Delegations To Switch To Him. Cannot Be Stopped. New York, June 3.—A complete collapse of the movement to stop the nomination of Governor Roos evelt is expected by James A. Far ley, Roosevelt’s field marshal, with ing the next several weeks, he said. When the Democratic national convention opens in Chicago June 27, he anticipates the scene will be set for a Roosevelt landslide noth ing could possibly stop. As evidence of this confidence Farley and other Roosevelt manag ers are going ahead with definite plans for the organizing the con vention. Banging his desk with his fist to emphasize his words, the enthus iastic Farley, who also is New York boxing commissioner and chairman of the Democratic state committee said his prediction' of a first ballot nomination has more foundation than ever before T?!!s Of He had just returned from 2 long series of conferences with Demo cratic leaders in Washington and had skimmed through confidential advice? from every one of the 48 states. “My conversations with numerous leaders and officials in Washington, supplemented by reports from the organization leaders in the states, convince me beyond doubt that the movement to prevent Governor Roosevelt's nomination is about to collapse,” he said. “It also is apparent that the fol lowers of several of the favorite sons, who are very sincere in their enthusiasms for their candidates, now see they have no chance, and the second choice in many, if not a majority of such delegations, un questionably is for Governor Roos evelt. “Our discussions in Washington dealt h; considerable detail with plans for the convention and the meeting of the Roosevelt delega tions prior to the assemblying of the convention.

Is par ticularly timely Just now when cer tain candidates and campaign workers me making an attempt, un supported by facts, to win voles by criticising the administration). (Star News Rnrean.) Raleigh, June 3— Trie effect of the Republican depression, making It harder and harder for people to pay taxes, has caused many people to lose right of the tax relief that has been accorded pioperty owners during the past three years of the Gardner administration. No one Is so foolish as to claim that if con ditions continue as at present taxes must be still further reduoed. It Is worth while even In a time like this, however, to survey the situa tion and see Just, what has been accomplished. The state-wide measures that have brought so much nation-wide attention to the Gv.dner adminis tration have had their effect upon the tax situation of Cleveland county. A brief survey and compari son of the taxe* levied upon prop erty in the year 1938 as compared with the present year brings to light some Interesting facts. If the same relief has been approximated in other counties of the state, it Is little wonder that our governor and the program of his administration are receiving prafaie horn nationally known authorities upon taxation problems. Taxpayer Helped. In 1928 the tax rate levied for road maintenance averaged for the entire county app-oxlmately 27 cents upon the 1100 valuation. This has been entirely taken away, with only a small Increase In debt serv ice off-setting this saving. In this alone there has been more than $75,000 in property tax money lifted from the people In this year as compared with three years ago. Cut In Schools In schools the decrease In prop erty taxes has even teen more pre nomenal. In 1928 to- operating the public schools during the six months period the county levied a rate of ! 54 1-2 cents; this year slightly less than 16 cents, a den ease of 38 cents. In terms of money the 1928 levy on property for schools amounted to $209,202; 1931, 71,078. a decrease of $138,118. Here are savings for the property owner that are substantial and have been felt by all. It is small wonder that the state Is being held ..p by the na tion as one that has led the way In reducing propertv taxes. Districts Helped In addition to giving relief upon a county-wide basis for schools, the districts of the county having an extended term havs been aided in such manner as to enable tax re duction to be accomplished and the schools kept open. This fund was first mention by Governor Gardner In his maugural message and can be claimed by him us his idea. It Is agreed by all that this fund gave perhaps the greatest tax relief of any school legislation ever enacted. Cleveland county ihx" year received a total of $23(732.85. Not a cent Of this money came to Cleveland coun ty until Gardner necatne governor. This money is over and above the taking over by the state of the en tire cost of the six months school term.

The statement said further "Nor has any employee been co erced into voting against him "Mr. Fountain's long record of opposition, first, to a state system of highways in 1931, and second, to the present highway law In 1931, Is sufficient enough for not only our own employees to look upon him with suspicion as a good roads leader, but also for the people of the state generally who are now enjoying the best reads in the his tory of the state, to do likewise.” Policeman Improves The condition of Policeman Mar shall Moore, who wa3 Injured in an automobile accident week before last, was said to be tetter today at the Shelby hospital.

Sheriff’s Race Tops Interest; Hard To Predict T wo State Race* Tal«f Mo*t Attention Outrnmf Harder To Fl|an ThM| Ever. Senatorial and Gover nor'# Race# Warm. Political observer# and campaign worker# cay today that there will bd 7,000 votes or more coat In the Democratic primary in Cleveland county Saturday. A month ago general Interest tit the primary was at a low pitch, and Just, a week back predictions were t hat the total vote would do well to approach fl,500. while many believed that not over 6,000 people would lake part In the primary. But this week, due to a renewed drive by candidate and their workers, had developed much enthusiasm and a degree of Interest equal to the 1928 primary and the heated Balley Simmons race in 1931. Over 7,000 votes were cast In 1928, but only 54)19, or approximate ly 6,000 were cast In 1930. New registration this year, however, haa been heavy. Another factor count ed upon to bring out many votes is that many people have nothing else to do while the farmers are pretty well up with their work now The major factor Indicating a heavy vote 1s the last-minute interest be ing shown. The Close Races The sheriff's race alone, in which there are four candidates, all con sidered able men, is calculated to draw out more voters than any other local race. There Is, howbelt, much Interest In the six-cornered scrap for the three berths on thi county commissioners board. Like [ wise the interest Is high In several of the other county and township contests. The fight for the senatorial and gubernatorial nominations hold tho peak points in the state contest^ I In the senatoral race the battle in Isofar as Cleveland comity is con cerned has narrowed down to Sen a tor Cameron Morriron and Robert R. Reynolds. MorrUon supporter? say he will win, and Reynolds men are equally confident that thett candidate will be victorious. The three-cornered race for gov ernor finds Bhrfnghaus a slight fag* orite in the county with Maxwell placing second and Fountain third. In the state, however, It is mid that Fountain will run second with Maxwell third. Two weeks ago IK* nnghaus was considered as Ukely to Eet a majority in the county In th# first primary, but in the last week or so Maxwell supporters have been very active and have strengthened their man. usual deports i The usual reports uie being heard from campaign hear quarters and from primary workers Some "dirt" has been injected in several of the races during the hu<t three or four days, but voters for the most part are believed to be giving serious study to the main issues and little attention to customary propaganda. Everything Set This afternoon voting booths were being erected in all precinct polling places and the ballot boxes will be set up late In the afternoon. The tickets have already been dls* tributed to registrars and Judges and at sunrise tomorrow what many label as *he most important primary in a decade will be underway.
