as officer and representative of
the people for 30 years. At all
times he supported the farmer

sponsoring measures that have
b^n passed by his frflow

faith the people with whom he
served have in him.

Mr. Spruill fought for lower
taxes on farms and homes. He
introduced the bill that took the
16c levy off State land tax in

I held Saturday, May 11, in Wil-
keeboro:
I Introdnoed by Floyd O. Fw-

a rising vote.
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.
Roosevelt:
Therefore, Be It Resolved:
1. That this Convention do now

tional Adiministration for the past
eight years, and endorsing the
Administration of the Honorable
Franklin D. Roosevelt, President
of this great United States of
America.

Introduced by Julius C. 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

redlstrlctinc. I«r meo^iMnF’ot the
Senate by Asattohly
after each ten-year Census enirin-
erated by the Federal ^ Govara-
ment, and.
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.

Introduced by Floyd C. Forest
er and passed unanimously by

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.

been the policy and the primary
purpose and interest of the Dem
ocratic Party to serve the best
Interest of Wilkes County and all
of the people of Wilkes County
regardless of political faith or
party affiliation; and.
Whereas, It is the opinion of
the Democratic Convention, which
opinion Is shared by a vast num
ber of citizens of Wilkes County
that the County of Wilkes has
suffered a tragic and devastating
loss, both financially, economical
ly and otherwise in the flagrant
and bias dismissal and discharge
of Mr. Dan Holler, former County
Agent of Wilkes County, and the
Assistant County Agent, Mr. Jess
ie Giles; and,
Whereas, the County Agent’s
office, during their administra
tion, was untiring in its efforts
toward bringing greater produc
tivity, wealth and economic secur

to its citizens, regardless of po
litical atilliation, or regardless of
who or what they -were.
Now, Therefore, We, the Dem
