'SANDY'^RAHAM
VISITS MURPHY
SUNDAY EVENING
Former Lieutenant Governor Sandy
Graham, now a candidate for governor
of North Carolina, was in
Murphy Sunday evening discussing
the issues of the heated gubernatorial
campaign with his friends in this
section.
Although he was unable to speak
here, Mr. Graham contacted several
?1 his personal friends and spoke at
several of the towns in Western
North Carolina on his way to Ashcville
Monday.
Although straw polls place Mr.
Graham as third choice for governor
in the coming elections, it is generally
said that he is picking up votes
in both the Eastern and Western portion
of the state so rapidly that he
will be one of the strongest contenders
for the office in the Democratic
primary.
Mr. Graham onpeses the sales tax
in its present form, favors reorganization
of the highway department,
nermit to sell linuot hv conntv vote.
advertising of Western North Carolina
and social security reform to
put this state in line for federal old
age pension and employment legislation.
While here Mr. Graham appointed
Abe Hembree to act as his campaign
manager in Cherokee county in the
place of A. W. Mclver who was recently
made chairman of the Democratic
party in this county.
