kilted and 329 injured in autonapbile
accidents in Norm Carolina in May.
according to figures released today by
L S Harris, chief of tbe automobile
license division of tbe State Depart
ment of Revenue. There were 207 ac
cents in which 311 chicles were in
volved In April. 13 were killed and
377 injured in 241 accidents shotting
(bat while seven more persons were
killed in May than in April, there were
34 fewer accidents, and 43 fewer per
sons injured.
That there has been a steady de
crease :n automobile accidents and
deaths during the past several years
Is shown by the comparative figures
for May ir. 1930 and 1931. according to
Harris. Iu May. 1930. a total of 80
persons were killed and 340 injured In
262 accidents, while in May’, 1931, a
total of 64 killed and 366 injured in
266 accidents This decrease has been
caused in part fro mtbe decrease in
the number of automobiles on the
higbarays. but in the main to better
observance us the laws on the part of
tnose whp drive automobiles. Captain.
Charles D. Farmer of the State High
way Patrol believes that the educa
tions lwork done by the patrolmen for
the past three years is also having an
effect in bringing about safer driving,
more regard for the highway laws and
hence fewer accidents.
Reckless driving continues to be the
cause of moat accidents, the report
shows, with 13 fatal and 41 non-fats’
accidents ascribed to this cause. Nine
fatal and 15 non-fatal accidents were
ascribed to excessive speed, while 2
fatal and 14 non-fatal accidents were
ascribed to drivers driving on the
wrong side of the highway. One fatal
and four nonfatal accidents were caus
ed by drivers attempting to pass other
cars on curves or hills, while six fatal
and four non-fatal accidents oocurretl

HOOVER CHOICE OF
SANDERS POPULAR
(Continued from Pag* Oue.)
Haute (Ind.) congressman whqm
President Coolidge drafted from Cap
itol HIM to be his private secretary
when C. Bascom Slemp retired.
President Hoover’s entire secretarial
staff has to hustle to make a botch
job of duties that Sanders used to
handle all by himself to perfection
without undue exertion. The Hoosier
is a high-class diplomat. He under
stands human nature. knows the
country and he’s had experience. He
1s likable at first sight—adaptable,
amin&ble and as keen as a mustard.
He was sergeant-at-arms at the re
cent G. O. P. convention. One can t
help wondering whether ex-President
Coolidge didnt recommend him for
his new post. Since 1928 he has been
practicing law in Washington.
Congress received word of Presi
dent Hoover’s re-nomination without
a ripple of excitement, but the senate
gave Vice President Curtis a round
of applause, In which the Democrats
politely joined, when Senaator David
A. Reed, of Pennsylvania, announced
hts victory at the Chicago gathering.
Nevertheless, regardless of party
lines, it unmistakably la the lawmak
ers’ judgment that the Republican
ticket could have been strengthened
by the choic of any one of several
rival candidates mentioned for the
vice presidential nomination, provided
it had been possible to effect the sub
stitution with the consent of the old
Kgnsan.
It is recognized, however, that dit
ching him after a hard fight might
have cost the G. O. P. more votes than
ar# likely to be sacrificed by having
him again as Mr. Hoovers running

the loss of the Sunflower state, any-

Progressives are frantic ft tip sub-'
ordlnsJUap of all otfcer Issues t?
of prohibition, but the fget remains
that discussion of the Republican
platform is practically limited to dis
cussion of the eighteenth amendment
plank In it.
Waiving expressions of personal
opinion, many of which are entertain
ing, but most of which are too much
tinged by partisanship to be very en
lightening, the congressional con
sensus unquestionably is that the
plank is pretty sure to be interpreted
by the average voter as dryish—un
less the Democrats adopt so unex
pectedly dry a declaration as to make
the .Republicans’ seem wet by com
parison with it.
In brief, it clearl yls the view of
professional politicians that Republi
cans whose wetness outweights their
Republicanism will cast Democratic
ballots next Npvexpßer. while Demo
crats who are dryer than they are i
Democratic will join the G. O. P. |
for the occasion.

Raleigh, June 23.—The headquarters
of both Senator Lameron Morrison
and Robert R. Reynolds here are con
tinuing to show increasing * activity,
but their respective managers are not
talking much. Colonel Don Scott, cam
paign manager for Senator Morrison,
is spending a good deal of time out
over the State making direct contacts
with district and county managers.
He was “out of town’’ all day yester
day, but was back in the headquarters
offices here today.
The Reynolds headquarters are get
ting down to business and turning out
some real work, now that John Bright

State manager, has arrived here and
