THE DAILY RECORD, DfcNtf, S. 0.
Operetta.
(Continued from page 1)
morning, Miss Gainey stated that
“the coming musical presentation
will thrill the hearts of the citizens
of Dunn. Anyone who misses this
operetta will be deprived of the
opportunity for an evening of
. fine and enjoyable entertainment.”
| "The Music of Stephen Foster”
j Miss Gainey continued “is loved
! by all people and I feel sure that
each person who attends will be
humming the melodies to himself
following the show as I have been
doing since witnessing the show in
Goldsboro on Sunday." The Little
Theater personalit yalso observed
that the characters in the operetta
protray their roles in an excellent
fashion and was particularly im.
pressed with the individual and
choral numbers by the cast. Miss
Gainey urged the citizens to Dunn
to attend the mu/cal presentation
as it will be in town for Only one
performance.
TWO ACT OPERETTA
The musical will be in two acts
and the scene will take place in
the garden of Colonel Stauton’s
home in Kentucky around the year
1850. All the favorite melodies of
the immortal music of Stephen
Foster will be heard either through
individual or choral singing by the
cast. The operetta will have a ten
minute intermission at half-time.
Miss Evelyn Gainey who is the
General Chairman of the comjng
operetta which is being sponsored
by the Sacred Heart Church of
Dunn announced the growing in
terest in the forthcoming musical
and indicated that a large turn
out of people from Dunn and Har
nett County area could be ex
pected. Miss Gainey stressed the
point of S'Uuring tickets beforehand
from the various places in town
even though they may be obtained
at the door. Tickets will be
seventy-five cents for adults and i
forty cents for children.
LOCATION OF TICKETS
Besides the Ticket Committee;
who have been active during the
past week, tickets may be obtained
from the following place in town:
First Citizens Bank and Trust
Company; Skinny’s Esso Station;
Auto Sales and Service; Automo

Restaurant, south of town on U. S.

Biggest Vote
(Continued from »nel)
was 516,864 in the 1936 first pym
ary; and the all-time high for
any candidate was the 266,354
votes. That majority was larger
numerically though slightly less
percentage-wise, than the 185,027
cast for Gregg Cherry over the
sapie Ralph McDonald’s 134,661 in
the 1944 primary.
There is some talk about one or
the other candidates this year
winning by 100,000 or more. It
doesn't make much sense in the
light of history.
The biggest margin, both in
number of votes and in percen
tage, by which any candidate fori
Governor has won the nomination j
since the primary was inaugurated
was the nearly 68,000 won by A.
W. McLean over J. W. Bailey sh
1924. The official vote was 151,-
197 to 83,573.
BROUGHTON SMALLEST '
The smallest primary vote by
which any candidate has won the
nomination for Governor since wo
man suffrage doubled the poten
tial was the 147,386 given J. M.l
Broughton in 1940. That was a
seven-way contest and runner-up
W. P. Horton, who had polled
105.916 in the first primary, did
not call for a run-off. Broughton
had less than one-third of the
total vote, but his lead over Horton
was almost 42,000. Within a few
days after the first primary A. J.
Maxwell, who had been third with
more than 102,000 and Lee Gravely,
who had run fourth with 63,000,
announced their support of Brough
ton “majority” stood at 42,000.
The narrowest margin recorded
for a winning candidate was 13,000
for J. C. B. Ehringhaus over R. T.
Fountain in the 1932 run-off.
Ehringhaus had 182,055 to Foun
tain’s 168,971.
Four years ago, in 1948, latest
previous race for Governor, Kerr
Scott led Charles M. Johnson in
the second primary 217,620 to
182,684 for a majority of about
35,000 after trailing by 9,000 in the
first.
The banner Democratic primary
vote in history was cavt two years
ago when 618,479 persons expressed
their choice among four candidates
for the United States senate. In
the second primary 542,903 ballots
were cast, resulting in a majority
of about 20,000 for Willis Smith—
who had trailed Frank Graham by
some 53,000 the first time. !
With the margin of, victory for
successful candidates for Governor
during the past 36 years ranging
from 13,000 to 68,000. and the
differential in the biggest primary
vote ever cast for any office being
20,000, it is hardly likely that the
present contest will show as much
as 100,000 difference, despite the
optimistic claims of candidates and
managers.
HEAVY VOTE WOULD HELP
OLIVE
There is general belief that a
heavy vote, which this times means
excess of 550,000, will benefit Olive
because traditionally a large vote
helps the challenger. A great many
Umstead supporters concede that a
large vote wil\ meat* a small* per
centage majority lor their man,
although they Insist it will mean a
bigger numerical margin. And
elections are won, they say, by
votes—not by percentage marks.

POLICE INTERVENE
The “loyal Democrats” pledged
to back the national ticket, walk
ed out ,of the meeting after heated
debate on their proposal to bar any
delegate who would not take the
party loyalty pledge.
Their exit was marked by brief
scuffles which alert police quickly
cut short.
that two records will be set this
year, and the political statisticians
!%iven a paradox to work on in
future elections.
The losing candidate may re
ceive more votes than any winner
before him, the winning .candidate
may run up sie largelt majority
ever recorded fpr a Democratic
nominee for Gpvernor, both, in the
same - election.
There is historic precedent, but
small comfort for the loser, in such
development. A1 Smith was the
only Democratic candidate for
President to lose the North < Caro
lina electoral'vote since reconstruc
tion days—and in the election
which he lost he received almost
100,000 more votes than any;, win
ning candidate had ever ' bedn
given before in this state.
; i One;,,of' the best wise-cracks ever
made <• about election returns was
the late J. M. Broughton’s appraisal
of the Wendell Willkie vote in' 1940.
Asked by a reporter ' what. he
thought -of the .Willkie J showing.
Governor Broughton replied: ."It
wap • highly complimentary, but
utterly .Inadequate.”
