Senator Joe Bailey
Seeks Third' Term
When the common people of this
country were praying for Franklin
D. Roosevelt to run for a third term,
Josiah W Bailey, a prominent iigz?
ure in the old Liberty League, bit
terly opposed a third term. Every
conceivable objection, unfounded or
otherwise, was offered by Bailey and
others who now claim they have
done much for the country.
And strange as it may seem, the
same Mr. Bailey is seeking a third
I term in the United States Senate.
But the third term, after all, is not
the issue in the contest now. The is
sue is his/;record, and while friends
of Mr Bailey refer to his record,
they do not dare or have not dared
'to explain that record to the people.
Tt is a fact that by comparison. Bob
Reynolds' record in the Senate as far
as domestic affairs are concerned, is
far better than that of Mr. Bailey's,
and it Ts also a fact that North Car
olina would go Republican before it
would vote for Reynolds now. But.
alas, time dulls the memory, and in
due seasons possibley, there'll be
those who'll tell us that leadership
1 is at a premium" and that Reynolds.
I too, must be sent back to the Senate.
Possibly. Reynolds will not have to
reverse his vote, actions and antics
as far ahead of a primary election as
Mr Bailey has done in this and in
the 1936 campaign.

of 45 district schools being staged
by Chevrolet this week, William E.

[Trounced m Detroit today.
Under the direction of T E. Brents
! manager of the sales merchandising
department, eight schools are being
! held this week for assistant regional
i and zone managers in charge of serv
ice. These schools are being staged
by Brents and members of his De
troit staff. Beginning June 1, the
wholesale personnel will conduct 37
zoni: schools for the retail service
men
Improving services at a time when
highest service standards are im
perative is the goal of the school
program. Mr. Holler said. Not only
will tin service managers receive
latest service information from cen
tral office through these schools, but
the new role of service as the pri
mary function of the retail operation
will be explained in detail.
"Courteous, efficient service has
always been a by-word with Chev
olet dealers," Mr. Holler said. "Now,
because service is the principal guar
antee for most motorists of contin
ued car operation, Chevrolet is ex
ploring every channel of improve

operation, the better chance the car
owner has of maintaining his own
personal transportation in an era

The War Front
President Roosevelt said the U. S.

about its progress is not justified.
Th^ President?presented the Con

Bonner Endorsed by
Recognized Leaders
By VICTOR MEEKINS
Congressman Herbert Bonner has
received one of the most powerful
endorsements of his stand on behalf
oT the farmers (Hat could come from
Washington. He is characterized as
having "battled one hundred per
cent for the farmers and the defense
program," by Congressman Clarence
Cannon, Chairman of the House
Committee on Appropriations.
If anyone has any doubts about
Mr. Bonner's desire and efforts to
aid the farmers of the whole dis
trict, and of the scope of his influ
ence in Washington, then he has only
to read Mr. Cannon's letter. He says:
"I wish to commend you for the
fine stand you have taken on agri
cultural legislation since becoming
a member of Congress. I have
watched with interest and much sat
isfaction your votes in behalf of the
tobacco, cotton, wheat, potato and
peanut farmer, and on farm legisla
tion as a whole and you have bat
ted one hundred per cent for agri-!
culture and the defense program. In
leading many farm fights 111 the
House. I have always known where
you stood and that you could be de
pended on for effective cooperation
and support.
'Your predecessor and friend, as
well as my friend, Lindsay Warren,
was always in the forefront for the
farmers of the Nation and your dis
trict should be congratulated that
he has been succeeded as one like
you who is so vitally interested in
agricultural problems and with the
capacity and ability to guard nation
al interests in these critical limes. I
am certain the farmers of your dis
trict appreciate the fine stand you
have taken here and your ability and
comprehensive knowledge of farm
questions, your alertness and inter
est in their behalf. With you as a
member of the State Delegation,
North Carolina will continue to ex
ert a profound influence in nation
al affairs. Signed, Clarence Cannon,
Chairman Committee on Appropria
tions."
Despite the well-known efforts of
Mr .Bonner on behalf of the farmers,
there has been a campaign waged
against him by an aspirant for Con
gress which ignores the facts, and
attempts to lead the people into the
belief that someone else could do
more.
Proof of the absurdity of these
statements are shown this week in
letters from Sol Bloom, chairman of
the House Committee on Foreign Af
fairs, who states that it was through
Bonner's efforts that tobacco was in
dudod in thf Lena-Lease bill, so
that loans may be made on this prod
uct. and is therefore of great bene
fit to tobacco growers.
Another powerful endorsement is
from Congressman W C. Tarver,
Chairman on the Sub-committee on
Agricultural Appropriations, who
says: "The services you have render
ed . represent the utmost that car
lie accomplished under present con
ditions." Mr Tarver gives high
praise to Mr. Bonner's ability, his
constant advice . and earnest anc
effective support.
It was ? largely through Bonner's
efforts that an appropriation of $50,
OtkJ was made to begin the develop
ment of a beef-cattle industry on
that cut-over forest land of the
Southeast. This program, it is believ
ed will accomplish some real good
in Eastern North Carolina, and the
development of the beef-cattle in
dustry might easily lead to produc
tions of milk cows and dairying. If

To the Voters of
Martin County
In the past few years and especially so dur
ing the past few months, it has been my pleasure
to have been called to serve on several committees
of a civic nature acting on matters of local and na
tional importance. In acting in these various ca
pacities I have tried to the best of my ability to
do the job and at all times have done my utmost
to serve well the people of Martin County.
During the past several years I have been
actively engaged in agricultural, business
and public life and I feel that through ex
perience in these various fields I am well
qualified to represent you, inasmuch as
one or more of these interests vitally affect
you, especially so during time of War.
I am taking this means of soliciting your vote
and support in the Democratic Primary, Saturday,
May 30th, and at that time if you see fit to call me
as your Representative to the North Carolina Leg
islature, I promise that I shall carry out your wishes
in an honest and efficient way.
Faithfully yours,
