The Graham counties are now the battle ground for the run-off and it is there that the candidates have been firing their big guns of the campaign.

John Nance Garner, speaking before him, “gladly’’ accepted his own renomination as rice presi dent. Only this afternoon was Garner re-named by acclamation at the closing session of the Dem ocratic national convention, as had been Roosevelt in the . early morning hours.
