POLITICAL PROPHETS
GET BUSY IN BEAUFORT
Washington, Feb. in. Leaders of the
Democratic, and Republican parties in
Beaufort county are nlrendy beginning
to niske predictions relntire to the out
come of the elections nest November.
The Democrats claim that they are go
ing to inereaae their majority over
while the Republicans make con
trary claims. With reference to these
claims, it is interesting to note the
vote that was east in the 111 election.
At that time Beaufort comity cast 1,57
votes for Wilson and 1,274 for Hughes.
Other counties in this section toted as
follows, the first numlicr being Wil
son's vote and the last Hughes.: Mar
tin county 1472281. Titt county, 2,8.10
2,S30 71. Craven county, 1.7H0 542.
Hyde MO 277. Pasquotank 1,177 270
According to these figures, Beaufort
county gave Hughes a larger vote than
any other county in this section. The
vote for Governor was practically in the
same proportion. Democrats, however,
believe that Beaufort's majority for the
Democratic candidate wil be larger
than at the last election. Republicans
sav they are going to even things up
nnd probably do even better than

New, Bern, Elizabeth City, Greenville,

ties in this section of the state and po
litically all have told me that Hoover is
the- fagorite of a large majority of

"About three or four months ago, be
fore Hoover's name was mentioned, the
general trend of sentiment appeared to
be in McAdoo'a favor. With the 11 ret
mention, however, of the former food
administrator's name, sentiment began
to switch. The general expression of
opinion ia that Hoever ia a man who is
different from the average dyed-in-the-wool
politician and that be will serve
the country's beat interests regardless
of party lines or party prejudice.
Little has been heard from Republi
can leaders in this part of the state.
Wood's name probably ' Is mentioned
more frequently than others, but no
where can there be found any such pro
nounced favor as haa been accorded
Hoover by the Democrats." 4
North Carolina members of Congress,
however, and a whole raft of politicians
drifting in every day or two from the
state discount the Hoover wave. - Sev

the Hoover statement; declare that they

now than they did a few weeks ago.
