CLYDE R. HOEY IS NOMINATED GOVERNOR
Wilkins P. Horton Nominated For
Lieut.-Goveraor ? Thad Eure For
Secretary of State
Hoey Increases Majority From 3,468 to 53,934 ? In
Other Two Offices Low Man in First Primary Wins
Second Primary July 4th, Upsets Many Precedents
Complete unofficial returns,
as compiled by the Associated
Press Tuesday night, showed
the majority of Clyde R. Hoey
over Dr. McDonald to be 58,934
on the basis of a rote of a06,
818 for Hoey and 312,870 for
McDonald.
Raleigh July 6. ? Clyde R. Hoey'
was nominated for Governor by
a very wide majority in yester
day's run-off Democratic primary.
Incomplete returns indicate
that the 58-year-old Shelby attor
ney, who is a brother-in-law of
former Governor O. Max Gardner
and who was a defender and ben
eficiary of the present Ehring
haus administration, did more
than greatly multiply the slender
majority of 3,468 votes by which
he led Dr. Ralph W. McDonald,
Winston-Salem professor, anti
sales tax candidate and adminis
tration foe, in the first primary
on June 6.
It appears on the face of in
complete returns that the force
of the Hoey victory, which kept
unbroken the tradition by which
the leading candidate for Gover
nor in the first Democratic pri
mary has always been nominated,
was sufficient to shatter that
"** same tradition for both of the
two lesser offices contested yes
terday.
Win Other Offices
~lt apppears that the Hoey for
ces, who definitely championed
the causes of the candidate* who
ran second in the previous pri
mary, succeeded in nominating
their men for Lieutenant Gover
nor and Secretary of State.
Thad A Eure. principal clerk
of the House of Representatives,
appears to have definitely over
come a 43,000 vote lead held by
Secretary of State Stacey W.
Wade, who failed of nomination
in the first primary over both of
his opponents by only 13,000
votes.
By a smaller margin. State Sen
ator Wilkins P. Horton, of Chat
ham County, like Hoey, a sales
tax advocate, appears to ham?
overcome the 23,000 vote lead
held in the first primary by State
Senator Paul D. Grady, of John
ston County, president pro tem
pore of the 1935 Senate, a sales
tax foe.
The defeat of Wade carries to
three the number of State offi
cers failing of renominatlon this
year. Baxter Durham, who had
served as State Auditor for IS
years, was defeated in the first i
primary by George Ross Pou. At
the same time, W. Kerr Scott de
feated Commissioner of Agricul
ture W. A. Graham, who had held
that office for 14 years. Mr.
Wade defeated James A. Hart
ness for Secretary of State only
four years ago but he had prev
iously served for eight years as
Insurance Commissioner, from
which he voluntarily retired in
1928 to enter private business.
The only other Instance of the
second highest candidate ever be
ing nominated, even for a minor
office, was in 1920, when Frank
D. Grist won out for Commission
er of LtCbor over M. L. Shipman, f
the incumbent. ? News-Observer.

FIRE
J. T. Pruitts Lumber Co. Just
South of Loulsburg about two
miles on Highway 56 suffered a
great loss Wednesday morning
about 11:30 o'clock when fire
broke out in the boiler room com
pletely destroying the boiler and
shaving rooms. The plant was
not in operation at the time but
was making preparations for tho
afternoon work.
The fire department responded
immediately after the alarm but
being out of the city limits there
was no water supply available for
use so they returned.
The damages were estimated
between 12,500 and $3,000. There
was no insurance.
It was lucky that the wind was
blowing in the opposite direction
from the plant and lumber yard
which kept the company from u
more considerable loss.
It is believed that neither of
the two boilers were injured but
several valves and tubes were
destroyed. It was the belief that
the fire caught in the boiler room
or some sparks entered the shav
ing room through a metal tube
and set fire to the contents of
the room.
It -is understood tha' * some
one had turned the r& . valve
turning the steam in the room it
would have put out the fire but
in the excitement this was over
looked.
SLIGHT STROKE

Mr. A. W. Wilson suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis on Tuesday
morning. It is hoped he will
