Raleigh, June 12.—Democrats
of North Carolina pledged their
26 votes at the national conven-
UoB In Philadelphia to President
Roosevelt and Vice President Gar
ner and adopted a platform favor
ing changes in the sales tax, but
saying the levy could not be abol
ished entirely today, at an harmo
nious state convention.
The platform, which incorpor
ated a ringing endorsement of the
administration of Governor J. C.
B. Rhringhaus, followed closely
the sales tax proposal of Clyde .R.
for the party’s gubernatorial
nomination. Dr. Ralph W. Mc
Donald. Hoey’s opponent in the
second primary, and a critic of
the state administration, has con
ducted his campaign on a promise
to abolish the sales tax entirely.
Liquor Plank Ignored
No discord was evident at any
time on the convention floor, tho
the platform committee wrangled
over a possible “wet” or "bone
dry’’ liquor plank and then com
promised by making no mention
of the question at all.

Raleigh, June 11.—Dr. Ralph

second, primary and claimed that
supperrters of Sandy Graham
would join his ranks "to beat the
machine.’’
Headquarters of Clyde R. Hoey,
had claimed yesterday Hoey
would get the lion’s share of the
Graham vote.
McDonald, apparently prepar

platform composed principally of
anti-machine planks, tnvlted Gra
ham’s 125,078 supporters "to
continue their efforts as we re
new battle upon our common
foe.” He named Hoey, Governor
Ehringhaus and former Governor
O. Max Gardner at the power be
