Bailey and erst, while “miracle man" of North Caro lina politics, now getting his ducks in a row to run against Senator Rob ert R. Reynolds for the nomination for senator in 1938? And is the reason that Shuping is so outspoken in his opposition and antagonism to the Roosevelt administration due to his belief that in three more years he will stand a better chance running on an anti-administration platform than on one favoring a continuation of the "New Deal" policies? The belief in a good many circles here is that Shuping would undoubt edly like to become senator and be the junior colleague of the man lie helped to elect in 1930 and whom he will probably help to renominate and re-elect in 1936. Reports have been current that if Senator Bailey were not one of his best friends, he prob ably would seek the nomination this time. As a result, it is believed that Shuping has deferred his senatirial ambition for another two years and that he is undoubtedly planning to seek Reynolds' seat in 1938. This ambition to replace Reynolds in the United .States Senate in 1938 i 3 also regarded by a good many ob servers here as explaining Shuping’s (Continued on Page Three ) Ruth Nichols Is Further Improved After Air Crash Troy.

Slum Clearance Program Is Defended By LESLIE EICHEL New York, Oct. 23—The “world’s most important election” is to occur on Nov. 14. The-British Conservative government (cabinet) is so sure of it self that it has determined to have an election on that date. A year ago, observers said the La bor party would defeat the Conserva tives on economic issues. Today, observers say that Conserv atives are likely to outwit the Labor ites on a single issue—patriotism. The Conservative cabinet has drawn Britain close to a war. That action is being made a patriotic issue prior to the cooling off of emotions. But there is likely to be one cas ually, former Prime Minister Ram say MacDonald. Labor considers him a renegade. The Tories urged him to run in a safe constituency. He re fused and is “standing” in his old constituency, in a coal mine region. Every time he tries to make a speech he is yelled down.
