During the pant week the
TIMES lias received 5 votes In
the Presidential Poll. Two of
these are for President Iloo ne
ve It and three for Eugene Tal
qiirdge. Adding these to the
"TOW# reported last week Frank
lin (County has cast i4 for
Roosevelt ^and 3 for Talniadge.
First scattered national returns
in "Our Next President" poll this
week bring 2,640 ballots from IS
states. The Democratic vote from
these 15 states total 946; the
Republican vote totals 16T3; and
Third Party Choices total 21.
The tabulation of the distribu
tion of the vote in the various 15
states show many inconsistencies
which no doubt will "level out"
as the poll gets further along. By
no stretch of the imagination can
these first figures be interpreted
as representing the entire first
week of the nation-wide balloting.
Ballots of local voting from hun
dreds of newspapers in these and
other states throughout the coun
try, which are cooperating, had
not yet been received at national
headquarters In New York when
these first figures were compiled.
The Publishers Autocaster News
Service of New York, which serves
this and the other 2,000 news
papers ^operating in the poll, is
compiling tlje national returns.
However, these first early re
turns from the 15 states are cor
rect, in so far as they go, there
fore they furnish some enlighten
ing figures as pertaining to how
the voters in these various states
are thinking about the 1936 na
tional conventions and elections.
One outstanding fact is early
established in these first 2640
votes. That is, that there is prac
tically no third party sentiment.
They indicate most strongly that
the 1936 struggle will be be4
tween the majbr parties, the
Democratic and the' Republican.
Mow Tiiey \ oied
In the Democratic ranks there
Is a divided opinion as pertain
ing to the renomlnation ot Presi
dent Roosevelt. However, the
Pr?sident is favored overwhelm
ingly, receiving 762 votes to a to
tal of 184 for all other choices
against him. Gov. Talmadge of
Georgia, leads the Democratic op
position with 81 first choice votes;
A1 Smith Is second with 24; Sen.
Carter Glass, third with 14, and
Sen. Byrd, of Virginia fourth with
11 votes.
In the Republican ranks Sen.
Borah, Idaho, is the outstanding
first choice favorite with 935
votes; Gov. Landon, Kas., Is sec
ond with 4EU6 votes; &nox, 111.,

In the Republican column In
the tabulation shown herewith,
the voting in Minnesota and
Kansas needs a word of explana
tion. In a measure, these votes ac
count for the big tbtals for Borah
and Landon. In Minnesota, the
Borah vote was built up In part
by group voting. The Landon vote

FRANKLIN
COUNTY FAIR
Has largest first day in its his
tory. The twenty first annual coun
ty Fair opened Tuesday night to
a record crowd. The weather was
a little cool but it did not chill
the interest of the lovers of out
door amusements. The new Ex
hibit Hall is completely filled
and there are some wonderful ex
hibits on display. The blue rib
bon for the best individual dis
play of field and garden, horti
culture and home products whs
won by Henry Mitchell, who is
one df Franklin County's best
farmers but in this winning you
could easily see the hand of "Mrs.
Mitchell and the boys." They are
farm folks, good ones, and proud
of it.
A most beautiful Individual
Display was put on by A. G. Hol
mes. A. G. or "Diamond Dick"
as he is better known is a real
farmer and made a most credi
table display for the first time
he has put on an exhibit. Many
premiums were won in the dif
ferent departments by Mrs. P. B.
Griffin, Mrs. B. P. Hinton, Mrs.
J. S. Collie, Mrs. W, S. Hale.
Mrs. Joe Pearce, Mrs. Emma
Sledge Parrish, Miss Edna Mltch
iner, Miss Mariah Perry, Mrs. H.
C. Taylor, Mrs. A. G. Holmes, Miss
Tuna White Hinton. Mrs. J. P.
Timberlake, Mrs. R. R. Strick
land, Mrs. C. A. Ragland, Jr.,
Mrs. C. M. Gattis. Helen Shaw.
Russell Mitchell. Ewell Moore.
Quentin Hinton, H. D. Mitchell
and B. B. Shearin.
The colored porochial school, un
der the direction of George C.
Pollard, Supt. put on a most credi
table exhibit. George Pollard is
an ardent supporter of the Coun
ty Fair and is one school man who
believes he can get the best work
and co-operation from his pupils
when he does things they like
to do sometimes. As a result of
his interest in his childrens plea
sure he gets the finest co-opera
tion and the best work from them.
Not a child in his school feel that
he ever does any selfish thing to
keep them from having a good
time. Thousands of children look
forward to the County Fair each
year! but as there is no holiday
for tbfer-white children. the color
ed children will be the only ones
to enjoy a full day at the Fair.
Saturday is free for the colored
children.
Wednesday was aiso a rree aay
foe the white children but as the
schools would not give them a
holiday Wednesday and teach Sat
urday to make it up. as the chil
dren wanted to do, thousands of
white children in the county will K
not see the Fair, as they cannot
come out at night.
"Doc" Fleming took first prize
on an Ethiopian Lily but he for
got to list it in the Premium List
so he will lose his money, but he
will still get the blue ribbon.
