Journal-Patriot Poll Finds 75
Per Cent Favoi' New

II Republicans throughout the
nation are of the same mind as
they are in Wilkes, they would
draft New York Governor Tom
Dewey on the first ballot for the
G. O. P. presidential nomination.
llie Journal-Patriot’s impartial
poll of sentiment among Wilkes
Republicans shows that at the
present time 75 per cent favor
Dewey for the nomination.
A large number of local Repub
licans have b-»n asked the ques
tion: "Wham dq. you .vyant tor
the remaining 25 per cent ques
tioned in the poll were ten per
cent for Governor Brioker, of
Ohio, ten -per c^nt for General
MacArthur, and five per cent for
Wendell Wlllkie, the 1940 stand
ard bearer for the G. O. P.
It was interesting to note that
only four candidates were men

poll.
in remarks after expressing a
choice. Republicans contacted by
The Journal-Patriot’s representa
tive usually mentioned Dewey,
MacArtbur, Brlcker and Wlllkie.
Many of them stated their objec
tions to Wlllkie as being "too
much like Roosevelt".
Several expressed admiration
for General MacArthur, and many
who did not gave him as their
choice for the presidential nomi
nation said they admired him
greatly as a man and as a military
leader but for the sake of progress
of the war against the Japanese
they wanted him to retain his post
as commander in the South Pa
cific area against the Japs.
Typical remarks about Gover
nor Brlcker were that "he is a
sound man, and would make a
good president”. Some however,
sta ted their belief that he is not
well enough known In the nation.

Wilkes Betaimd On Amount
*•£*• ikmda In Fourth
War Loan
Wilkes is now nearing the quota
In the Fourth War Loan campaign
the lastreport credits the
county ylth |8j)5,|p0, W. D.
Halfacre,' chairman, said today.
This amount laelta $38,000 of
reaching the quota of'$84S,000.
While $38,000 is not a large
amount in comparison with the
sales to date, it is pointed out that
the remainder of the quota must
be raised in sale of "E" bonds
and that it will be necessary for
many to buy extra bonds In order
to go over.
Reporting the state of North
Carolina had reached its quota,
Mr. Haifacre urged that Wilkes
people get busy an! put Wilkes
over the top again.
Of the bonds sold to date,
$172,000 has been in the small
"E” bonds purchased by indivi
duals. However, the county's
quota for "E” bonds for the cam
paign is $244,000.
One purpose of the Fourth War
Loan is to prevent inflation, and
if that purpose is to be achieved,
individuals who have any surplus
money above necessary living ex
penses must put that money into
bonds.
The contest among school dis
tricts is progressing and the re
port for this week is expected to
