Brummit, according to || pre.- i -patches from Raleigh, ruled I al technicalities of North E Car lina's prohibition repeal election, j [i adv .. persons holding office not | t M-rve as delegates to Uhe repal con vent ion. B The ruling of Attorney General | Biunumt \va; given in a letter ad dressed to T. L.. Cauuie, prosecuting j attorney of the general criminal j c urt if Anson county, in which ho | held that a person in .public office, i! el ed as a delegate, would be placed in the position of double office j holding, which is forbidden by the! constitution. The repeal election law ' nlakes provision for office holders to j he delegates, but Mr. Brummit ruled that" the general assembly cannot legislapively d? dare' ovoid a^iy as?. :tion o! the constitution. I> ruling eliminated D. M. Birchfield, game warden for Cherokee, Clay and Graham countes, who had lh'.-t been put forward by the drys I a- their candidate. Several weeks age petitions advocating Mr. Birchfield'.s selection began circulating in the county, and practically enough names i qualified voters had been secured to assure his nomination when the ruling of the n*".orrey general was made. Mr. Birchfield immediately ( withdrew from the field. The dry forces then centered their efforts upon securing the nomination of J. Frank Bristol, a leading Republican, former sheriff and present ax collector, and vice chairman of 1 the county dry organization. Petitions ( wie placed in circulation and sent . to all parts of the county for the necessary number of signatures. However. Mr. Bristol declined to run n the ground that he held an elec- | , t.vc ffice, and nothing should be thrown in the way that might bar the seating of the dry delegate in the convention if elected. Mrs. Norvell, who is now being advocated for the nomination as the dry candidate, is the wife of Edmund b. X or veil, prominent lawyer and mayor of Murphy. She has long been an ardent supporter of the national prohibition law. She is a past president of the Woman's Club, is a memvr of the Methodist church, and a a leader in the religious and civic life s of the community. S FatrIck | A large crowd attended the West!
