from Alexander county to the ef-
■sct that the Republicans and
]>emocrats Intended to vote two
■sts of ballots; that the Repub-
■cans would vote for Jones, Re
publican, and Burke, Democrat,
and the Democrats would vote
Ibr Burke and Jones.
That on Tuesday prior to the
primary I talked to the chairman
•f board of Elections of Alex
ander county in Taylorsville and
asked him if this report was
true. He stated to me under the
ruiin.g of the State Board of
Elections that the voter could
not vote both the Republican
and Democratic ticket: that he
intended to see some of his Reg-
day R. ''iK- Jr.;
Chairman of * Board of Unctions
for Wilkes County, snde a trip
to Taylorsville and heard Mr.
Da«lahart, Chairman of - Board
of Elections tor Alexander Coun
ty, In the presence of wltnessee.
Instruct Que of hts registrars
that each voter had the right to
vote for both Mr, Burke and Mr.

and other Democrat. On Mr.

tion and I Immediately called
Mr. Daglnhart and be denied
that he had Instructed any Reg
istrar to this effect and I asked
him his opinion as to whether
you could do this and he stated
that the voter had the right to
vote both tickets. Immediately
after talking to Mr. Daglnhart 1
communicated with Mr. Maxwell,
secretary of State Board of Elec
tions, and Mr. L. P. McLendon,
Chairipan of State Board of Elec
tions and related this conversa
tion to them. They stated to me
that they would wire Mr. Dagln
hart and they did wire him the
next day, sending me a copy, to
the effect that a voter could not
vote but one ticket, the Repub
lican vote the Republican ballot
and the Democrat the Democrat
ic ballot.
That on June 5th at the Court
house in Taylorsville at the hour
set for tabulation of the returns
of the county, I filed a written
protest alleging that the Alex
ander County votes were cast il
legally and attached to the writ
ten protest affidavits by citizens
of Alexander county to the ef
fect that the election officials

iianded to ?ach voter as they en-

and Burke and the Democrats

hundreds of Republicans Inland irregularly cast, and I call
Wilkes County expressed them-
.selvcs as wanting to cast their
ballot for me if they could do so
legally. I stated to them that
they could no legally do this;
that the Chairman of Board of
Elections 0 f Wilkes County,
leading Democrats of Wilkes
County and myself instructed
the Registrars of the different
precincts of Wilkes county that
the Republicans could not vote
the Democratic ballot and that
the Democrats could not vote the
on the voters of Alexander coun
ty to request the State Board of
Elections to Investigate their
county as to any illegal and ir
regular votes cast in the Primary
June 2nd.
The affidavits that I have In
my possession tend to support
that hundreds of Republicans
voted for Burke and Jones and
that hundreds of Democrats vot
ed for Jones as well as Burke. I
have talked to a large number
of Alexander County- citizens and
my friends have talked to a
large number of the citizens of
Alexander county, and I am con
fident that most of these voters
who cast their ballots in this
manner did not feel that they
were voting contrary to the law
and cast their ballots upon being
advised that they had a right to
vote in this manner.
I feel that the office of the
Judge of our Superior Court is
one of the most exalted positions
in the gift of the people and no
man should be elevated to this
position by illegal votes.

Mr. Howell Gives Up Chairman
ship Boomer Tomnship After
30 Years’ Service
After thirty years of capable
service as chairman of the Demo
cratic executive committee i n
Boomer township, Mr. J. fi. Howell
at the primary last Saturday re
fused to be chairman this time-
The primary was attended by
most of the leading Democrats of
the township. Having the good of
the party at heart, and knowing
that Mr. Howell has done more for
the Democrat party than any one
else in the township he was heart
ily urged to accept.
Mr. Howell has been a faithful
Democrat all his life. He has nev
er let personal differences stand
in the way of party loyalty. He has
always supported ’ the nominees,
and never “scratched a ticket’’ in
his voting experience. In refusing
the chairmanship, he declared his
loyalty to “his party” and said he
“expected to live and to die a 100
percent Democrat-”
There are very few anywhere
who will give as freely of their
itime and means to the cause of
the Democratic party as he has.
We wonder if there is another
man in Wilkes county whom the
people have chosen as their town
ship chairman for thirty years, and
who has been as loyal to the party
as Lish Howell has always been-—
Contributed.
To bind a bargain with a friendly glass is an
s^e-old gesture of good fellowship. To fill the
glass with BUDWEISER is to choose what gen»
erations of good fellows/with an eye toward
the best in life, have i egarded as the very
finest incentive to companionship and well
being. BUDWEISER has made such out-
stating contribution to good living that no
other brew ever has matched its record—
the biggest'selling bottled bee^ in history.
