Whereas, we are residents of a great Country which is not in volved in the horrors of war and bloodshed, and which, through the able leadership of the Na tional Administration, has been able to remain out pf the great world conflict of trouble, war and strite, and, . Whereas, under our present Na- Monal Administration for the past eight years this has been a Conn- ; try of peace and prosperity, and that under the guidance of our great President, the Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, the people of this Nation have had the privi lege of enjoying liberty and peace and the .principles of Democracy, and, Whereas, great progress in this Country as a Nation has been achieved under the present Na tional Administration and under the guidance of our matchle?s leader, the Honorable Franklin D.

Hub- hard and parsed unanimously by rising vote. Whereas, our distinguished Governor, the Honorable Clyde R. Hoey, in his wisdom, appointed an outstanding citizen of Wilkes Gqiipty as a member of the State Highway Commission to repre sent. this, the Eighth Highway District, and Whereas, onr local member of •iaid commission has given much of his time, and haa devoted his best efforts to carry on the high way work in his district in an Im partial and unselfish manner, all of the time having only the best interests of all the people of his district at heart, although It is humanly impossible to construct all the highways the people want due to the lack of finances, and an impossibility to meet all of the demands that may have been made upon him in the way of road construction; Therefore, Be It Resolved, by the Democrats of Wilkes County, in Convention assembled, on this, the 11th day of May, 1940, at the courthouse in Wilkesboro. X. C., •.bat said convention most heart- il.v commends our member of the slate highway commission, J. Oor- !o:i HtickeU, for the splendid work he has done for the people Ilf his district, and the state at large; furthermore, that the said convention commends the entire highway organization of this nis trict for the efficient manner in which they have carried on thair work, both in construction and maintenance; Second: That a copy of this resolution be made a part of the permanent record of this conven tion: that a copy be sent His Ex cellency, Hon.

Whereas, Legislators from the eastern counties have organised each two years since 1930 to de feat this mandate. In direct vio lation of their oaths as legisla tors and ae citizena to uphold the Constitution of the State, and have boasted that they will con tinue to defeat this provision, and. Whereas. The eastern legisla tors, by political tricks and prom ises, have induced legislators from several western counties (20 representatives from 1 8 western counties in 1937) to vote portionment and redlstricting, in the face of explicit direction of the State’s Constitution, and. Whereas, A Federal Census was taken in 1940, giving a new popu lation Status for reapportioning and redlstricting the State on a new and .equitable basis by the General Assembly of 1941, now, therefore. Be It Resolved, That the Dem ocrats of Wilkes County favor a reapportionment of Hogse mem bers and redlstricting for State Members by the 1941 session of the North Oarolina General As sembly, based on the 1940 Cen sus, in order that the western sec tion of the State may not be de prived for another ten years of its just and proper representation In the General Assembly: and, Be It Further Resolved, That with them to prevent this reap- the Legislator(s) from this coun ty be urged to recognize (his) their duty to support the Consti tution and the wishes of this Con vention to work actively and diligently for legislation to bring aibout reapportionment and redis- trictlng In the State at the next session of the General Assembly.

Forest er and passed unanimously by rising vote. Whereas. Seven of the eleven elective executive officials of the State of North Carolina are from the eastern section of the State, and only four are from the pled- mant and western counties, and, Whereas, These officials form several ex-officio boards and com missions which direct the policies and handle the bulk of the busi ness of the people of the entire State Government, as shown by the following: The Council of State is com posed of five easterners, including the legal adviser, and only one from the piedmont and western counties: The State Board of Education is composed of five easterners and only two from the piedmont and western counties; The State Board of A.ssess- ments is composed of four east erners, one from the piedmont area and none from the west; The Executive Committee of the Local Government Commi.s- sion is composed of four eastern ers, with no piedmont or western member; The -Municipal Board of Con trol for the State is composed of three easterners (two of them from one small eastern county) and none from the west or pied mont; The WoHd War Veterans’ Loan Fund Committee is compo.sed ol two easterners, one from the cen ter and one from the west, with a director from the ea.st; and number.s of other important co-m- missions and boards are so com posed includi'iig the State School Cemmi-ssion and the State Bank ing Commission, and. Whereas, More than two-thirds of the major appointive officers tha.SUte, have only 40 per cent of the States’ DOfralatlon, have oast only 20 to 86 per cent of the Democratic votes in every general election in the past decade, and pay- less than one-4ihird of the taxes levied to operate the State Government, while the othmr 64 counties in the weetem half of the State, with an eqnal ' land area, have 60 per cent of the population, cast from 64 to 80 I>er cent of the Democratic votes in general election, and pay more than two-thirds of the taxes on which the State operates, and. Whereas. It Is about time the Democrats of the iriedmont and western countiee realise that they are casting the vote* and paying the hills while the eastern minor ity levies the taxes, reaps the political rewards and honors, and controls the affairs of the State, and realize It is time for western Democrats to demand at least a fair and equitable share of these important positions; Now there fore: Be It Resolved: That we, the Democrats o f Wilkes County hereby declare that we will en courage honorable, able and trustworthy citizens of the pied mont and western counties of the State to became-'candidates for all State-wide elective executive offices, (meanwhile endorsing the plan of alternating candidates for Govornor and Lieutenant Gover nor between east and west, and of a United States Senator each from east and west) and that, other things being equal, we promise to support candidates for these offices from the pied mont and west, until these sec tions get a fair and equitable representation in State offices and thus have a proper and just voice in the operation and busi ness of the State Government.
