Rousseau Is Head
Of Jackson Day
Wilkes Campaign
County Democrats.Expected
To Raise Their Part Of
Campaign Funds
(Success of the Jackson Day
Campaign in Wilkes county is in
dicated by appointment of J. R-
Rousseau as county chairman.
Announcement to this effect has
just been made by State Director
John D. Larkin, Jr.
The purpose of this campaign,
which began last week and will
culminate in a mammoth Jackson
Day Dinner at Raleigh on Janu
ary 8th, is to raise money for the
Democratic campaign and con
vention next year. North Carol1r'>
and Wilkes county have establish
ed reputations for exceeding ex
pectations in similar efforts.
Last year, with no election
campaign in the immediate off
ing, ■ the state raised more than
ten thousand dollars. This year
demands upon the party treasury
will he much heavier by reason
of the election next fall and the
convention this coming summer.
A speaker of national reputa
tion has been secured for the
celebration which will be held on
January 8, 1940, at the Hotel Sir
Walter, Raleigh. N. C. A high
standard was cet at the 1939 din
ner by the speech of Governor
(new Senator) "Happy” Chan
dler of Kentucky. State Director
Larkins, who managed the last
campaign, guarantees that the
1940 program certainly will no-t
fall below that standard.
Under the leadership of Chair
man J. R. Rousseau, Wilkes coiun-
ty is expected to be among the
first to announce completion of
its quota. The first county to
reach this goal will be accorded
very special recognition, not on
ly at the Jackson Day dinner, but
also in the permanent records of
the State and National jiarty or
ganizations.
Official ruling that the hatch
Act will not prevent any federal
employee, other than relief worl ■
ers, from contributing to the
fund or attending the dinner
makes success easier to attain.
