J M- sroughton0 RALEIGH, N. C„ May 16.— Women in every one of the more than 1800 precincts in North Caro lina are rallying to the standard of J. M. Broughton, candidate for Governor, Mrs. J. R. Futrell re ported today. Mr. Broughton’s stand on the sales tax with his promise to take the sales tax off all food bought for the home table has struck a respon sive chord in the hearts of the women of the State and particular ly in those sections where most of the family paycheck must go for food. “We are intensively organizing every precinct of North Carolina for Mr. Broughton,” said Mrs. Fut rell, head of the woman’s division or tne rsrougmon campaign. “Our high type of campaign and the appeal of Mr. Broughton’s qualifications and platform to the teachers and mothers of North Carolina have attracted a great number of women to the active sup port of our candidate,” she added. Mrs. Futrell declared that she felt "particularly fortunate” in se curing as her associate State Man ager, Miss Ruth Burke, who has taught school at LaGrange for the past 18 years. Miss Burke has been prominent in the State organizations of the P. T.-A., the Federation of Wom en's Clubs, and the N. C. Educa tion Asosciation as well as in the Democratic Party councils and in Lenoir County and State govern ment. A women’s organization has been set up in more than 90 counties in the State, featuring such typical women as Mrs. George E. Marshall of Mt. Airy, past State president of the Federation of Women’s C3ubs; Mrs. Mary Green Johnson of Lillington, sister of the Pulitzer Prize Dramatist Paul Green; Mrs. Wilbur Bunn of Raleigh, past ex ecutive secretary of the Federation of Women’s Clubs; and a host of ladies, prominent in P. T.-A., Wom en’s Clubs, the American Legion Auxiliary, Garden Clubs, church activities and a host of other or ganizations. Mrs. Bunn says, “Mr. Broughton is recognized as a brilliant orator. His delivery is unaffected, simple and clear, and quite forceful. His speeches emanate from a powerful and well trained intellect, constant ly enriched by reading of choice literature and timely topics. “Mr. Broughton inherits the name of a family long outstanding in Baptist history in North Carolina. I shall never forget when he was elected Superintendent of the Tab ernacle Baptist Sunday School of this city, an office he has held since that day 27 years ago. The church had been called together for the sole purpose of electing a successor to the late Needham Broughton, pioneer Baptist spirit and uncle of J. Melville Broughton. In addition (to his duties as superintendent for j the past 15 years he has been teach I ing a large class of young men.” Student Recital Tuesday evening, May 21st, at eight o’clock at the high school auditorium, Miss Kent Bentley will present the following students in a piano recital: Caroline Broun, Er nestine Smith, Nancy Wike, Kath rine Wike, Patricia Wilson, Hazel Baird, Ann Georgia Williams, Mary Speight, Betty Ingram, Martha Ann Starke, Sara Pope, Rosa Bryant, Gordon Berkstresser, Margaret Brown, Annette Edwards, Margaret Gibson, Patsy Wolhar, Doris Fahey and Ann Pearson.
