ED1TOKIAL
' ROOSEVELT GOES IN FOR
A SECOND TERM.
Perhaps the curtain rang down
Tuesday night on the most strenu.
ous national campaign ever waged
in the history of this country. It
was fought to a finish by two well
known organized gruops. The ablest
and most experienced leaders that
S the two parties could muster were
' j sent to the sections where they could
; do the most good. More money was
Used in this campaign than in any pre
vious campaign. It was used by the
millions instead of thousands. A1.
though thousands of Republicans vot
ed for Roosevelt in this eleCtionr as
they did nearly four years ago, it will
go down in history as a great vie...
tory for the Democratic party. The
Democrats were probably better org
anized under their great leader who
will again occupy the White House,
than ever before in the history of the
party. President Roosevelt proved
himself master df the situation from
the time the campaign opened till it
closed. This election has proved a.
great victory for the American peOL.
pie as well as ^President Roosevelt
and the Demoratic party.
] It turns out that the Republicans
party has become the opposition
party. Until recent years the Re...
pblicans claimed the they had the
constructive party. It will be claim
ed, and probably justly so, that Pres
ident Roosevelt is" bigger than ■ his
party.- |Ie has received support
from all political parties as the vote
shows.
The Republicans in all parts of the
country appeared to be as confident
that London would be elected by a
safe majority. jibe Democrats,
■were equally Confident Roosevelt,
would win. For the past week air two
everything pointed to the election of
President Roosevelt, but the most en
thusiastic and sanguine friends of
the President, .did n>
est landslide ever known in the his .
tory of politcis in this country. The
thing came very near being unani
mous. The vote shows that the
people of the country have confi
dence in President Roosevelt and are
willing for him to mabe a test of
“the New Deal”, and find whether
or not it is workable. He has tour
years to consolidate the program he
has mapped to show the county that
it will do the work that he claims
for it.
SECOND INAUGURATION OF
PRESDENT ROOSEVELT TO
OCCUR JANUARY 20th.
Very few people in I.ee county
know that the date of the inaugura
tion of the President of the United
States has been changed from March
4th to January .20th. It seems that
very little has been said about the
.change in the date. It was not given
general publicity at the time the
measure became a law. A few
years ago a change in the date was
discussed, but as we recall some date
in August was suggested. Almost
invariably March weather is very
cold and disagreeable in Washing
ton, but how about the middle of
January? Washington is often cov
red with a heavy snow in Janliary.
As modem methods are employed to
clear the streets of cities of heavy
snows in the winter season, the
streets of Washington could prob
ably be cleaned for occasion unless
a heavy snow is falling during the
hours of the exercises.
To make sure of ideal weather the
inauguration should be held in May
or June. Why not have the inaugu
ration at the time the Japanese cher
ries are in bloom? Washington
looks more attractive at this season
than at any other season of the
year.
LEE COUNTY LIBRARY SOON
TO BE MOVED TO NEW HOME
The current issue of the Univer
sity News Letter is devoted to a
discussion of public libraries of
North Carolina. It first asks “What
is the law in North Carolina regard
ing the establishment and mainten
ance of public libraries? The News

tions may be made for the establish
ment and maintenance of public lib
raries. As Lee county has for the
past few years had a public library
it is not necessary to quote the law
explaining how the funds for r. lib
rary can be raised, but it may be of
interest to many of our readers to
know how a public library may be
handled after it is established. We

than- tnafc government unit ap
points a boa,'- of trustees to run the
library, not more than one of whom
’tfciirhb a member of thn appoint- ■
i*W ‘
pensation. They elect the officers
of the library, the secretary treasur
er gives bond for the faithful per
formance of his duties; the trustees
appoint a librarian, assistants and
other employees, they make annua!
reports to the governing body and
in general are responsible for the
proper functioning of the library.
Any head librarian appointed since
1933 has to have a librarian certlffi..
cate issued by the North Carolina
Librarian Certification Board.
“The boaTd of trustees has power
to accept gifts, bequests and de
vises, but the title to such property
apparently vests in the governing
body for the benefit of the library.
“On the whole, the North Caro
lina Library law offers a reasonably
speedy and adequate procedure for
the establishment and support of li
braries where they are needed, pro -
vided the citizens are sufficiently
interested to put the law in motion.”
While a library has been maitain
ed her for number of years it has
been a county library only a few
years and is now free to the public.
It comes under the A. L .A. Stand
ard and has $1,000 or more county
appropriation. It is in a class with
Davidson, Guilford, Mecklenburg,
Durham, Wake, Rockingham, Bun
combe, Stanly, Vance Forsyth, Burke I
and New Hanover.
Thisis mighty good company to be ,
in arid shows that Lee is trailing
along with some of the larger pro..»
gressive counties of the State in 1
literary as well as material things. *
Sanf-Ord has a literary club that can
be classed along with the leading lit
erary clubs of the large towns of the
state. It can be truly said that this.
club is the mother of^ the library. It j
not only established it, but support!
ed and nourished it single handed j
and alone until it was made a coun..'
ty library. This library is not as I
large as it should be, because it did |
not have room to grow. The friends
of tins library are glad to know that
it will soon be in its new home on
the corner of Cole and Steele |
streets. It will occupy part of the
new agricultural building now near
ing completion. This is one of the
most substantially constructed build j
ings in the county and the library
will have an opportunity to grow
and meet the demands of the read.,
ing pubHc. It will be .supplied with
all modern conveniences and will be
a credit to the county.
The library now conttains 5,300
volumes. There is- space in the new
library for 7,000. This means the
new library can carry an additional
1,700 books over the old library.
Thera are very few public libraries
in the state that carry a greater
number of books than Lee County
Library. Many of the books are new
and up to date. ...
MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION
The annual roll call for the Lea
County Chapter of the American
Red Cross will begin on Armistice
Day, November Hth, and end on
Thanksgiving Day.
There is little need for me to re
mind citizens of our community how
vital the Red Cross is in the life of
our country. During the past year
both from actual observation and
from accounts of work done which
was carried in the daily papers, we
have seen just how important it is
to have an active agency of the
American people to administer assist
ance when the need arises.
The frequency with which this'
need does arise has been demonstrat
ed during the past twelve months.:
when we recall the floods, the to'r_..
nadoes ,the hurricanes and the ep
idemics that have been experienc
ed in yarious parts of this great
country, and the work that the Red
Cross has done to relieve distress
-and actual suffering as a result
of these catastrophes. Other, but
less spectacular work carried on . by
the Red Cross has been just as im
portant.
The F/‘d Cross comes tc -s now
for anoiii;-- s.p/ieal for membership;
dues that will finance the work dur
ing the year ahead. Qur Red Cross
asks little from the ^pommunity, yet
contributes much to tbe general wel
fare of the people.
For this reason I sincerely urge
all of our citizens to participate in
this great program by paying the rel
atively small membership dues - to
respond to a spirit of good neighbor
liness. I hope all will take part in
the work by becoming members of
tiie organization .
« gives me pleasure, tnereiore, as
Mayor off Sanford, to hereby set
a side the designated period as the
time when all former members will
have art opportunity of renewing
fheir memberships, and .for "
Red Cross members in our commu
nity.

VERMONT, MAINE AND
CUMNOCK IN THE SAME CLASS
The election last Tuesday placed
Vermont, Maine and Cumnock pre -
cinct, Lee County, in the same class.
They were all carried by Landon, Re
publican candidate for President. We
wonder if there is another precinct
in the United States outside of Lee
County and the above named states
carried by Landon? Several years
ago when Graham Kimrey was a can
didate for the nomination of sheriff
on the Democratic ticket, it is said
that he got the promise of every vot
er in the Cumnock precinct to vote
for him, but to his surprise when the
votes were counted he found that not
a single one had been cast for him.
This precinct has two distinctions. It
was against Kimrey for sheriff, but
for Landon for President The time
will probably come when the school
children will be reading about this
bit of political history, in their
school text books. It will probably
teaa:
“As goes Vermont arid Maine, so
goes Cumnock.”

Presdent Rcosevelt piled up the
greatest electoral .majority in
^Tuesday’s election that any can
"ftekte has enjoyed since the na

Victory left just eight elector
ul votes in the column of Alfred M.
Landon, the Republican candidate. It
further reduced th2 Republican mem
bership in Congress and took one or
more governor's chair, at ’cost, from
the party of Landor and Lincoln.
So wide was the margin over Gov
ernor Landon that followers called
it a mandate for Mr. Roosevelt to
rontinue his liberal policies; even
some of his most bitter opponents
- - ‘- evc.y real American must stand
behind the President.
Some reactions were visible imme
diately. The stock market was
thrown into a buying whirl, with
some issues advancing to a new five
year high, and only public utility
stocks the object of heavy helling.
J^sf Two States
Just twolstates, Maine and Ver
mont, with a total of eight electoral
votes,, stood on the Landon side.
New Hampshire spent election night
in the Landon column, then climbed
an the Democratic bandwagon.
In the end the President seemed
certain of 523 electoral votes, Lan
don 8. It was the nearest approach
to unamimity in the electoral college
since Jaimes Monroe was reelected in
1820 with onl£ a single -Tote againat
him.

Repblicans had gained from them.
They had 308 members in the last
House.
The entire Democratic county
ticket was elected by the largest

county Glenn Buchanan, Democrat
