Hoey Supporters Predominate in Convention That Is Featured by Lack of Contests; Party's Plan of Organization Altered to Per mit Executive Committee to Make Changes. ( New?-0b8er ver ) Democrats of North Carolina In convention here yesterday reln dorsed President Roosevelt for reelection, adopted a platform conforming generally to the cam paign utterances of Clyde R. Hoey, leader in the first guber natorial primary, and bestowed high party honors upon two de feated candidates, Sandy Graham and John A. McRae, and upon Graham's manager, A. D. "Lon" Eolger. The State's delegates to the Na tional Democratic Convention were pledged as a unit to President Roosevelt and Vice President John N. Garner for renomination. Roosevelt Applauded Proclaiming the "golden era of Democracy in America," J. M. Broughton of Raleigh, president of the State Bar Association, sounded the keynote for a con vincing and prolonged demonstra tion of enthusiasm for the Presi dent's ''humanitarian" adminis tration. After him. no other speaker ne glected to praise the national ad ministration, to ridicule Republi canism and to predict another De mocratic triumph in November. The platform, too, devoted four pages to a eulogy of the adminis tration. Administration Endorsed Several speakers also repeated ly endorsed the administration of Governor Ehringhaus, which Ralph W. McDonald, runner-up in the race for Governor, has called the principal Issue of the coming second primary campaign. The Governor himself was given a standing ovation by the conven tion. Sitting as a delegate with the Forsyth County Democrats, Mc Donaidheard the convention adopt a platform commending the Ehr inghaus policies and defending the sales tax as indispensible un der present conditions, though pledging removal of the levy from essential foods and meals. In brief the platform also pledg er farm aid through compact leg islation, conservation of highway funds, reduction in automobile license costs, enactment of State and interstate laws to improve working conditions, a reasonable increase in the school program, including free text books as soon as possible, and continued cooper-1 ation with the President and the Congress.

Convened at 12:17 o'clock by State Democratic Chairman J. Wallace Winborne, the convention lasted three hours 59 minutes. At no time were the 3,317 seats in the hall filled. There was no effort by the Mc Donald forte*, who were repre sented only scantily In the con vention. to stop the adoption of the platform >>r to amend it. There was a contest in the committee on insertion of a plank calling for reexamination of the liquor Issue but It was voted down. - > Vote Angling As campaigners- attending the convention busied themselves more with angling for Sandy Gra ham's block of 125,000 votes in the second primary than with party business, McDonald's State manager, Willie Lee Lumpkin of Loulsburg, nominated Graham tor delegate-at-large to the national convention In Philadelphia, Gra ham was elected. The proposal that the State's delegates be Instructed to cast their ballots for Graham's man ager, "Lon" Folger, for national i committeeman was advanced by George Ross Pou, the party's nominee for State Auditor and a supporter of Clyde R. Hoey. Fol ger, who Is ill at Mary Eliiabeth Hospital, was elected without op psition to succeed C. L. Shuplng of Greensboro, who did not seek re-nomination after being criticiz ed severely for anti-New Deal ac tivities. Miss Beatrice Cobb of Morganton was reelected national committMwoman without opposi tion, also. Neither Graham nor Folger ap peared In the convention. John A.

EXPOSITION ATTRACTING MANY Many Attractive and Pretty Booths The Amusements Offered By Grey Producing Company Highly Pleasing ? Local Programs of High Order And Entertaining ? Merchants Displays Excellent This week has been Louisburg's! gala week and the many visitors and towns people have enjoyed every minute of It. The big Sol dier's Bonus and Merchant's Ex position which has been attract- j ing big crowds each night to the Planters Warehouse has been furnishing a pleasing variety of amusements. The/ large and commodious warehouse is filled with artistic and attractive booths with many attractive dis plays and the decorations are of a high order. A1 Smith's troupe of fifteen i Eskimo Spitzs are attracting the, kiddies and many grown ups while Mike and Mae. the clowns, i are furnishing the laughing ma terial for the shows. Possibly1 the most interesting and scientific of the features is the slack wire walking stunts by the Ownby Kiddies. This is real acting of a high order. The trained razor back hogs, the educated mule and the whip cracking and sharp shooting by Tex are all good and! come in for their portion of the' attention of the crowds. One of the enjoyable features is the dancelng. Many, enjoyed this portion of the program each night. Local features are also intro duced in the program and on Tuesday night the Creekmore Or chestra won honors in an old fid dlers contest.. Wednesday night the Exposition was entertained by an excellent speech by Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, candidate for the nomination for Governor of North Carolina. It is suggest ed that Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, an other candidate for the nomina tlon for Governor, will address the Exposition before the close of the week. t Last night was aryateur night, when local people presented a program of music, tnyrth and laughter. The Crowning of the Queen of the Exposition will be held on Saturday night and many of Franklin's charming young la dies are waging a strong contest for this ^onor. - - ? Wednesday was Trade Day and Home Coming for Loulsburg and quite a large number of visitors availed themselves of the oppor tunity of renewing "old acquain tances," and partaking of many of the big bargains offered by the merchants. The prizes offered each night are drawing many who are eagerly awaiting their num ber to be drawn from the box. Wednesday night's style show attracted many spectators and presented many beautiful cos tumes as well a t models. Friday i night Is designated as Carnival night and special arrangements are being made to make It the biggest night of enjoyment for the crowds who will be there. The Exposition is giving every evidence of success and the Grey Producing Co. is receiving the congratulations of the many Vet erans and Merchants for the splendid shows they are putting on. So far it has been an espec ially clean and wholesome attrac tion and Mr. A. J. Grey, the man ager, has done a good work. The public is extended a spec ial Invitation to visit this Exposi tion tonight and tomorrow night and join in the merriment. BONUS BONDS ARRIVE The first contingent of Soldiers Bonus bonds arrived in Louis burg Monday and the first deliv eries were made to W. D. Eger ton, one of Louisburg's popular Insurance men, and J. C. Harkins, Superintendent of the Louisburg Light and Water Plant. Bonds were delivered to one hundred and ninety applicants on Mon day representing approximately nineteen hundred bonds. The bonds continue to arrive each day and a force headed by Postmaster T. M. Harris, is busy with handling the bonds in spec ial quarters In the Armory, next door to the post office. Electric Service Mr. Bailey with the Carolina Power & Light Co., was in Louis burg Wednesday and announced that his company would immedi ately begin the installation of i electric service over a route from Castalta up route 5< to Edward Best school, thence to White Lev el, thence to Centervllle and then to Wood. Apparently this Is one year when side-applications of nitrate of soda should pay, well on cot ton and corn, say farmers who have suffered from the continued dry weather.

Mrs. Martha Waters who bM been In, charge of the Bowers Con struction Co. projects has returned to her home in Whiteville, N. C. REPUBLICANS NOMINATE LANDON TO HEAD NATIONAL TICKET THIS FALL Col. Frank Knox Was Nom inated Vice President ? Vandenburg Refused Sec ond Place (News-Observer) Convention Hall, Cleveland June 12. ? The Republican Nation al Convention ended today in an unmistakable spirit of anti-climax, It was generally agreed thai the nominee for Vice President, Colonel Frank Knox, the Chicago publisher, would make a weakei candidate than would have Sena tor Arthur H. Vandenberg, of Michigan, the real choice of the dominant Landon group, but who firmly declined the somewhat dubious honor. Underneath the complete harm ony on the surface there was real unity on only one proposition ? an ardent desire to defeat President Roosevelt for reelection. That desire cemented all of the delegates, although they al*e sharply divided on what ought to be done should the Republicans gain control of the Government and are also divided on the most effective means of gaining that control. * Other Way And there is ho assurance that the- Republican in the country with indisputably the largest per sonal following of any member of his^party will fire a single shot in the campaign. All the evidence there is points the other way. After beginning on Tuesday with the most listless start that veteran obserVers could recall in any national convention, the gath ering came to life on Wednesday night and showed real enthusiasm in its reception of former Presi dent Hoover, to whom Republi cans are now willing ,to give any honor except the one that would count ? another nomination. The enthusiasm was maintain ed through last night, when Gov ernor Landon was nominated by acclamation and furnished a dra matic contribution to the session by his telegram elaborating some of the vague declarations of the platform* which had already been adopter _? Wft senator Horah was most conspicuously absent last night from the parade ot defeated can^ dldates to* the platform, as he had left Cleveland. Had it been possible tot the leaders to produce Senator Borah on the platform today for a rous ing speech in behalf of the Landon and Knox, ticket, the enthusiasm of Wednesday night and last night woald undoubtedly not only have been maintained, but would have been exceeded. / To a lesser eitent, the same end would have been accomplish ed through acceptance by Senator Vandenberg of the Vice Presi dential nomination. As it was, the nomination of Colonel Knox aroused Snly per functory applause lasting for precisely three minutes. Slight Stir Even a telegram from Governor Landon to Representative Bert rand H. snell, formally acknow ledging the nomination, aroused only a very slight stir among the delegates. The truth of the matter is, that the Republican party Is for the first time In its 78 years of exis tence definitely a minority party. While many of its adherents ex pect to win in November, and while all of them hope to do so, realization of the new party role did much to chill party spirits. JAMES ROBERT MAY ? James Robert May, eleven months old son of Mr. and Mrs. John May of near Loulsburg, died In Parkview hospital Sunday night, June 8th, after a short Ill ness. Services took place at Maple Springs Baptist Church Monday afternoon at four o'clock, con ducted by Rev. L. B. Reavis, Pallbearers were Uncles of the deceased as follows, James Ter rell, George Perry, Marvin May and Sam Harris. James Robert was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. May, and is also survived by Its grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Terrell and Mrs. Bessie May. The flowers were lovely, and the beraved parents and grandparents have the sympathy of their many friends and relatives. THANKS X wish to thank the voters of Franklin County for the flatter ing vote given me for Commis sioner in the primary on June 6th. Your support will be a great incentive for future service and be greatly appreciated. JOEL Z. TERRELL. SIDNKY C. HOU)Etr S. C. HOLDEN DEAD Mr. Sidney C.

Hol den, of near Youngsville. and one sister, Miss Bettie Holden, of Amityville, N. Y. He was a '''pop ular member of the Louisburg Junior Order, the Louisburg Ma sonic order and Oak Level Chris tian church. He came to Louis burg about twenty-five years ago to become Deputy Register of Deeds under the late Willis Boone then served a6 Deputy Sheriff, later was elected as Register of 1 Deeds, to which place he was re I peatedly ejected for a large *um ! ber of tenus. He was always in , teirested in all worthy civic move ments and Sid could be counted 1 upon by his many friends. The funeral services were held I from his home on Sunday after | liorbn conducted by Rev. O. P. iFitzGerald.

J. L. PALMER.

The Ashevllle Farm School in Buncombe County cut and stored a fine crop of hay from 20 acres of alfalfa last week and will top dress the land with superphos phate. A five-county wool pool has been formed by farmers of Avery, Alleghany and Watauga counties 'In North Carolina and Grayson and Carroll counties adjoining In Virginia. Mr. J. A. Hodges, Sr., visited Dunn Monday. "THE KING STEPS OUT" If imitation can be said to be the highest form of flattery, Grace Moore can take a bow as j Hollywood's most modest person. She has refused to imitate her self! When Miss Moore set the en tertainment world afire with her divine voice in the now memor able "One Night of Love," fran tic producers scanned the world's opera marts for "another Grace Moore." They hopefully set out to produce "another 'One Night of Love' " and succeeded only in approaching but not surpassing this history-making film. With her new production sched uled and .imminent, Miss Moore was firmly convinced that the cy icle of semi-operatic musical pro jductions which she launched with "One Night of Love" had run its course. The formula which had proved so successful for her heretofore was relegated i to limbo, and a newer, more re freshing musical type of film de vised! How well she succeeded is evident in her current Colum bia production, "The King Steps Out," at the Louisburg Theatre, Thursday and Friday, June 25th ^and 26th, In which Franchot 'Tone. Walter Connolly and Ray 1 mond Walburn lend their able support. The most unusual departure ap parent in "The King Steps Out" is the music which was written by Fritz Kreisler, violin virtuoso and outstanding contemporary composer. Heard, too, will be Kreisler's famed composition, ("Caprice Viennois." Unlike the I accepted classical arias which ! were interpolated in former films, ' the songs which Miss Moore sings in "The King Steps Out" are all ; from the pen of Kreisler with lyrics by Qorothy Fields. Others in the large supporting cast are Elisabeth Hisdon, Nana ! Bryant, Freida Inescourt, Thurs ton Hall. Victory Jory and Her man Bing. DUNC AN-CHEATH A >1 Franklinton. June 16. ?
