ways gets more than his share |
of tackles.

JUSTICE W. J.
BROGDEN DIES
Durham, Oct. 29. ? Associate
Justice W. J. Brogden, of the state
Supreme court, died at his home
here early tonight following an
extended illness.
Willis James Brogden was re
garded as one, ill ,the most level
headed members ot the North Car
olina Supreme court and was fam
ed for his brief opinions, keen
satire and ready wit.
The justice, 57 years old, was
next to the ypangest member of
the court. The youngest is Chief
Justice W. P. Stacy, a close friend
of Justice Brogden for years.
Born near Goldsboro October
IS. 1877, a son of Willis H. and
Virginia Robinson Brogden, Wil
lis Brogden attended the Golds
boro graded schools and then at
16 years of age, rode his first
train when he went to the Uni
versity of North Carolina. One of .
the stories the jurist loved to re
cite was of that first train ride, 1
and his mixed feelings of fear '
when the cars swing around cur
ves and of pride that he was rid
ing a train on his way to college.
Judge Brogden was graduated
from the university In 1898 with
the degree of bachelor of philoso
phy and went to Rgleigh to teach .
school. He then took similar duties
at Durham and studied law in I
the afternoons and at night at
Trinity college, jiow iDuke. He
completed his law work at North'
Carolina and was licensed to prac
tice in 1907.
In 1908 Judge Brogden took
part in hi* first political skirmish
and it was with pride that he;
would relate he had "never lost
an election."
His first battle for votes was
for prohibition. Ini 1911 he ran
for mayor of Durham and served
two terms. In 1920 he was cam
paign manager In six counties for
Cameron Morrison and carried the
counties. He also aided Judge
Stacy In that year's campaign^
ing. !
Angus Wilton McLean, who died
recently, chose Brogden as his
state manager in 1924 when he
successfully sought the governor
ship and later McLean appointed
Brogden to the Supreme court.
The Durham man qualified Jan
uary 1, 1926, and in that year
was elected to fitl the two-year
unexpired term. He got an eight
year term at the hands of the
voters in 1928.
Justice Brogden was one of the
hardest workers on the Supreme
court, rarely taking a vacation,
and it was generally understood
that his absence due to illness was
responsible for delay by the court
in deciding the case Involving the
compromise djstrlbutiqn of the
IX), 000, 000 estate of the late
Smith Reynolds and those in
which the validity of 1935 liquor
laws is questioned.
He was a Mason and past mas
ter of Durham lodge, No. 352. He
also was a Kiwanian and by faith
was a Baptist. He was married in
1917 to Miss Llla Markham.
Auto Afire
?- An automobile caught fire on
Sunday afternoon about 5:15 at
the Southern end of the Tar River
bridge, but was soon extinguished
and went on its way before the
Fire Department arrived. There
was no alarm In this case. ,/(

Local fug Itatlli-. (.round
Some leading political observers
have recently pointed out that in
dications for a tight and close
presidential race next year were
already being manifest . . . and
that the battle ground would mo<it
likely be in key eastern and mid
western states.
The returns in this nation-wide
poll, which is being conducted by
this and some 2;00? other news
papers, bear out those predictions,
even at this early stage of the bal
loting.
By eliminating the total "solid
south" votes for all choices, the
closeness of the race may be Judg
ed. The "solid south" states are:
Alabama, Arkansas. Florida, Geor
gia, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Oklahoma. South Carolina, Texas
and Virginia.
The total votes for the respec
tive choices In those 10 states and
from which returns have been re
ceived, are as follows: Roosevelt,
17,962; Other Democratic choices,
,2,817; All Republican choices,
7,532. ... By deducting the above
totals from the total votes cast
in 38 states, these results in the
other 28 states are shown: Roose
velt, 24,217; Other Democratic
choices, 2,694; All Republican
choices, 27,668.
Conceding that the "Other
Democratic Choices" votes would
go to Reosevelt ia official ballot
ing, we get these figures for the
28 states outside the solid south:
Roosevelt 26,911.
Republican Choices 27,568
In popular vote percentages for
the entire 38 states, to date, as
strictly between Roosevelt and
Republican choices, they stand:
Roosevelt _56x%
Republican Choices <3x%
Roosevelt shows a gain of
1:81% over one week ago, when
on 36,477 ballots he had 54% to
Republican Choices 45%.
The state by state tabulation of
the national vote and the break
down of the first, second and third
choice vote for the respective fa- i
vorttes. furnish some interOating
figures for the voters' perusal.
They are printed herewith.
