vor of the abolition of the Statewide
party primary system and a return
to the convention system for the nom

Carolina as the result of the two re

effort was made to repeal the State
primary law in the 1931 General As

1933 General Assembly will give much
more serious consideration to a move

session, as the result of the excessive
cost of primaries.
It is agreed that a conservative
estimate of the cost of even one party

By Hoover In Brief Mes

Washington. July s.—(AP)—Presi
dent Hoover, In a brief message to
Congress, today, asked for a special
appropriation of $120,000 to continue
the activities of the President’s or
ganization on unemployed relief.
The chief executive pointed out that
Congress had omitted an appropria
tion for the unemployment organiza
tion headed by Walter S. Gilford in
the second deficiency bill recently en
acted.
Should no appropriation be given.
Mr. Hoover oaict “there would be
grave danger of national, state and
local volunteer groups concluding that
service, such as they have rendered
no longer necessary."
The committee is composed of lead
ing men and women in every state,
whose efforts have been to stimulate
private aid and coordinate local ac
tivities.
Mr. Hoover said It was “obviously of
the utmost importance” that there be
no diminution In the voluntary ef
forts "which combine the intimate
knowledge of local conditions with
the sense of responsibility toward fel
low citizens and neighbors in dis
tress."
