THE EVENING 8 CAROLINA LINE-UP FOR"0 IS HINTED Attempt by Labor to Absorb Party May Change Bal- loting in Next Race. This is the fijth in a series of A‘rtlcles on North Carolina politics. BY WILL P. KENNEDY, 8taff Correspondent of The Star RALEIGH, N. C. October 29.— Even before the avalanche of votes on election day, the forward-looking | politicians, business men and welfare | students are deeply concerned as to what wreckage and damage may fol- | low in the wake of the avalanche—| what may be the salvaging to be done in 1835, They are already looking | forward four years to what they ex- | pect to be the greatest, most momen= tous campaign in American history. Organized labor and the Negro vote are going to be cast almost solidly for the Democratic ticket. These worried and—"willing”; while Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi is thought not desirous but might easily be persuaded. What they really expect, and fear, from present indications is that Sen- ator La Follette, inheritor of progres- siveness which he has intensified, is likely to be selected by Roosevelt to | carry forward his New Deal policies. | They presume to see that the Demo- cratic party would swing to radical- ism and that there would be nothing for the conservative Democrats and conservative Republicans to do but unite with a change of name, io avoid the inbred aversion to the name Re- publican, into & new conservative | party. Vexed Over Change in Rules. ‘The abrogation of the two-thirds | rule in Philadelphia was a death blow to Southern politicians. They fully understood what it meant and have been intensely vexed. It meant that the Northern and Western wings of | the party could write the platform | and nominate the candidate for President without any permission or| successful opposition from the South. | The North and West, united, can do | as they please on piatrorm and presi- dential nomination. While these are problems that have | the political leaders in North Caro- lina greatly worried, especially the Democrats, they have no part in the organized more carefully down to each precinct in the 100 counties to get out the largest possible vote for the straight Democratic ticket in every county, no matter how overwhelming the party strength may be in 85 out of the 100, ‘The Republicans, likewise, are try- ing harder this time than ever before. Their leaders are for the most part responsible and highly respected pro- fessional and business men, not office holders o office seekers. The Repub- lican party was in a state of collapse when Roosevelt was elected—and at least 75,000 Republican votes were cast for Roosevelt—many of these will go back to old party allegiance. Even so, the Democrats have made a more thorough drive than the Republicans. o Russia is building automobiles for children. THE DERWOOD MILL DERWOOD, MD.

The Negro voter, disenfranchised by the illiteracy clause in 1899, is definitely returned to the electorate and can no longer be driven away from the polls, even in the South, by strong-arm methods. The Negro in North Carolina this year is voting Democratic and will be welcomed at the polling booths—but the Democrats realize that this is & | problem they must deal with in the | future. In the past 36 years North | Carolina Negroes have been acquiring education rapidly. They cannot be disbarred from voting in the future— and they constitute one-third of the entire voting strength in the State. | Ultimately thev can command the | balance of power in North Carolina. A coalition of Republicans and Ne- groes could at any time defeat the Democrats The breaking away of party bell- wethers from the partisan alignments in the present campaign is rated al- most as treason in North Carolina, where strict party acherence is rated as a religion. The Norris and Borah and Couzens and La Follette disaf-| fections are looked at askance—as | traitorous to the party—as are Al| Bmith, Gov. Ely, Brainbridge Colby, John W. Davis sniping. The Minne- €ota situation, the Democratic knifing of O'Brien for McKee in New York and similar activity in other centers— | all agitate party tranquillity and point towards a breaking up (or down) of | the old parties. The mugwump and independent tendency impresses North Carolina leaders as momentous—with the State background of strict party devotion. | Communistic Talk. | There is a great deal of communistic talk and sentiment in the old Tar Heel State—growing out of the desperation | of a large proportion of tenant farm- ers, who have been getting scarcely enough to hold soul and body together and see little hope in the future. If, with the re-election of Roosevelt, living conditions conunue to improve and prosperity progrgsses, it is nn-{ ticipated that this communism may | die down, but it might under adverse | eocial and economic conditions be | easily fanned into a flame in the next four years. The North Carolina lead- ers are guarding as best they can against communism becoming an out- | standing issue in the 1940 campaign— and if the issue comes, they expect that this State, which always cham- pioned religious liberty but turned | against Al Smith in 1928 because of religion, will turn to the Catholics as the historic crusaders against com- | munism. The spread of communism | threatens both major parties. There are business leaders in North | Carolina who emphasize that if Roosevelt again sweeps the country with an unprecedented majority— as they confidently expect he will—it is contrary to human nature to expect that he may not be tempted beyond the power of resistance for the public good to make a try for a third term. In that event party lines would be swept aside. There are those also, who while in- sisting that Roosevelt will not seek a third term, who do feel that he will se- lect his successor.
