( EDIT O R I A I. ) FRANKLIN OFFERS LUMPKIN HON. W. L. LUMPKIN Since speculation as to who will be Governor of North Carolina to succeed Hon. Clyde li.' Hooy, seems to he the order of the day, and that live or six have either direct- ! ly or indirectly or, through their friends . announced their "lies ire* to occupy Ific ?->iaie s governor and occupy the special offices in the State's historic cap- ! itsrf, Franklin County offers to the State Hon. Willie Leo Lumpkin, who lias proven his fitness, both from a political and business standpoint to the citizens of the State. In addition to having conducted the McDonald ; campaign for Governor in which proved his politi- j cal ability, when against innumerable odds he almost | won a victory, he has yngaged in active campaign work j for the Democratic party for the past fifteen years, al ways championing The cause of Democracy "hi a master- ; ful and eloquent manner until he has become one of the | most popular ami in greatest demand campaign speak- | era in the State. He is a lawyer ot' wide experience and 1 great ability, being one of the leading attorneys in this | section of the State, his popularity among his fellow lawyers was expressed in his election to the Presidency of tlie District Bar Association recently held in Raleigh. He has shown splendid business ability in his personal | affairs and his opinions and advice having been sought in many substantial business transactions. He is a life-long active Baptist in his religious affilia- , tion and was formerly President of the Franklin County Baraca-Philathea Union of his county. He is a member , of the Board of Trustees of the State University. His seven success terms as member of the House of Rep- j resentatives and one term a Senator from the 6th Sena torial district makes him familiar with the legislative needs of his State. Although he is an ardent believer in the principle that the sales tax is wrong and is known widely for the sev eral determined tights he has engaged in against it, he is sufficiently conservative to give satisfaction and sta bility to those of the other thought, by advocating a gradual retractioh, largely by elimination of expenses of State and other governmental expenses. He is a staunch Democrat, who believes in the old time Demo cratic principle of letting the people rule, the govern ment only throwing the necessary safe-guards around business and govtrnincnt to insure the mandate of the voters. : i'1" 1 1 . This is the kind of man Franklin County offers the State as its Chief Officer, whose many friends with whom he fought in 1936 together with others who want the i people to be returned to power, may and can elect with confidence.
