But nero it ia past the middle of March and no- one has given the Doctor any serious trouble. Senator Burma-of Guilford introduced the bill to make the office of Revenue Commissioner elective instead of appointive, that might get. Noble's job but Senator Burrua-expressed the opinion pri vately that he didn't expect to get his bill out of committee. ABSENT; VOTING-All this talk about what is going to happen to the Democratic-party "in this State if the system of absentee voting is not re formed or abolished makes little im pression on the Representatives and Senators from : close Democratic Republican counties. They express the private opinion that abolition of absentee voting would turn politics over to the Republicans in theii counties and that would mean then Jobs. In the east the absentee bai lot doesn't mean much in overwhelm ingly Democratic counties and it i from that section that sentiment for election reforms comes. The west will have none of it and is shown by the unfavorable report given election law bills in a House committee com posed largely of westerners who have their troubles with the Republicans. READY TO TRY IT State Sena tor Dalton Warren, of Alleghany county, is ready to try to fill the shoes of Congressman R. L. Dough ton, who is expected to give up the Ninth District post even, if he dpes not run for Governor. Senator War ren is telling friends that he is re ceiving.:' encouragement from the length and breadth of the District and shows definite signs of having already made up his mind to enter the lists against all comers. -.SPLIT IN G. 0.
