Women Cast Big
Vote
It Is most gratifying to the ,
women of Franklin County to
know that 1n the recent election
they cast thirty-eight per cent of]
all the votes cast. Mrs. Ben T.
Holden, County Vlce-Chalrman. I
said that this result was due toj
the splendid cooperation of the
women who worked with her, and
also to the fact that women were
Informing themselves regarding
the Issues before the public. She
stated that her goal had been fifty
per cent of the votes, but that
she felt the thirty-eight was a
fine percentage, and that the
women themselves would all help
to make It f(fty percent in an
other election, by registering, and
then coming out to vote after they
were registered.

fourths of a million.
These results were hasea upon?
107,309 district* reported out c.t the I
122.722 in the.United StatcS. It was !
estimated that the total vote, with
all districts reported, Would approx
imate 43,000,000, also a new nil-time
ire cord. I
[ The American people, providing
I the incumbent Democratic car.di
idate with 323 votes in the electoral
collye to 8 for Governor Land^n,
: also voiced their approval of 'he

motion picture critics, but found
it impossible to make arrange
ments.
"Warner Bros, had chosen a
number of key cities for the road
show production, and could not
add to the list. Consequently,
when 1 was notified the film would
be released as a regular feature I
made certain that patrons of the
Louisburg Theatre would be
among the first to see it at our
regular prices.
"I am very glad to announce
that this history making picture
will be shown here, so that Louis
burg may see the most discussed
and highly praised picture ever
produced."
