Urging a vote for repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendlnent on
November 7. John L. Morehead,
Charlotte business man, and
Walter (Pete) Murpny, Rowan
county legislator, were given an
enthusiastic hearing at the coun
ty-wide rally of Wilkes county
repeal forces at the courthouse
in Wllkesboro Tuesday evening.
Declaring that repeal Is an
integral part of the national ad
ministration’s recovery program
and that both Democratic and
Republican leaders were united
In their stand for repeal, Mr.
Murphy asserted' that he had
“rather follow Franklin D.
Roosevelt,, Ellbu Root and other
great leaders of the country than
Johnson Hayes and Yates Webb.’’
The meeting was called to or
der by W. H. McElwee, promi
nent young local attorney, who
presented H. H. Morehouse,
Wilkes county’s repeal delegate.
Mr. Morehouse said he had no
intention of making a speech
and would merely reiterate his
stand for repeal.
Major A. L. James, Jr., a re
tired army officer of Laurinburg,
who accompanied Mr. Morehead,
was presented and in a few, well
chosen words declared _tlmt pro
hibition bad b'een a failune. “U
has been the greatest force for
evil that has ever existed,” he
said.
Mr. Morehead was introduced
by Attorney J. M. Brown. The
Charlotte man advocated a re
turn to the doctrine of state’s
rights through repeal. Prohibi
tion cannot be enforced, he de
clared.
Whether North Carolina votes
for repeal or not, the Eighteenth
Amendment will be blotted from
the constitution on November 7,
Mr. Morehead said. “Then why
all this agitation in North Caro
lina?” he asked. “Simply be
cause North Carolinians are not
a bunch of hitch-hikers who will
take the road of progress by
thumbing a ride.” A vote for re-
