Christian, of Finnac'e. was here Wednesday and stated to a representative of the Report er that he would not vote for Hoey for Governor in the ap proaching fall election. Mr. Christian was one of thf most prominent Stokes McDoneld leaders in the late primary for Governor. It is learned by this newspaper that many of McDonald's fol lowing are highly incensed, and in the fall election will not sup port the Democratic candidate for Governor. They are now or ganizing in the name of the "Liberal Democrats." Many of them will cast a whole vote for Griseom, whi'e others will give /the Republican candidate for Governor a half- Vote by scratching Hoey. The Union Republican, whirb exults over this opportunity to * mmtvie the State s uo iKpabiitan rule, this week publishes the fol lowing: "News out of Raleigh is to the effect that Liberal Democrats * are being organiz-Ed in eve*,/ county in the state, one of the objectives being to hold togetie; the "212,000 Democrats vho oas/. their bailots for Dr. Ra'ph W.
