i Asheboro Thursday (Continued from page 1) - ic raDidly losing strength. Mr, McRae’s chances have failed to 1m PThe”lieutenant governor declared hp based his optimism on his own he and upon glowing reports cb3m every section. He attributed the •r°lvlment principally to the “good mmon sense of North Carolina vot com"V cannot be fooled for any frSJh of time by even the most artful len.mtroftfie millenium.” A quicken ?ro J activity at the Raleigh head >n ar-crs and by his workers in every SSS have played an important part too. Mr. Graham said. He has been speaking practically daily and has been heard toy large and obviously enthusiastic audiences. In his talks he has lashed out vigorously ‘ .i-e McDonald campaign which he has branded as a strange mixture of demagogic appeal to class prejudice JnT a fast and loose effort to “be all things to all men. , “In the past we have had heated campaigns in Northp Carolina ” said lieutenant governor Graham in hi3 statement, “but this is the first time anv candidate has made a deliberate, considered effort to array one class against another. It is something novel in Tar Heel politics and something the good people of this state will resent. »Dr. McD'.nald is going about the state promising every group he will do exactly what that group wants, but what will the good philosopher do when he finds he cannot live up to even fifty per cent of these promises? “For example, the principal promise ! on which he is trying to ride into the governor’s chair is that he will abolish the sales tax. In the next breath he promises the school teachers he will increase their salaries. He says he will raise the large part of the money necessary to do this by increasing in come taxes to ten per cent. “Now the constitution of North Carolina expressly prohibits an income tax of more than six per cent, though there is an amendment pending and to be voted on at the general election in November. What will Dr. McDonald do if the voters turn thumbs down on the proposal to raise the levy? Which will Mr. McDonald do—favor abolition of the sales tax or reduction of the teachers’ salaries to fit the curtailed budget? He cannot increase the salaries and abolish the sales tax both, although he has no hesitation whatever in promising both. This sort of thing cannot for long deceive the people of the state. “And how does Mr. Donald square his oft-repeated vow that he is ‘against taxing the poor man’s food’ with his vote in the last General As sembly to tax meals served in cafes and restaurants? Is there any differ ence between taxing the food eaten at home and at the comer lunch room? Yet Mr. McDonald (who positively weeps for the little man) voted to put a tax on the meal con sisting of a five-cent hot dog and a nickle cup of coffee, the poorest of all poor men—he who has not a home but eats down at ‘Joe’s Place’. “And so it goes all along the line. Mr. McDonald’s promises are one thing—his ability to redeem these promises in the future and his per formances in the past are too often exactly the opposite. “On every issue, it’s the same. In the east Mr. McDonald would leave i Few Have Filed For County Offices In The Present Primary (Continued from page 1) Grove, the only Republican filing. Walter E. Scott, Democrat, of Cole ridge township, has filed for constable. There are yet several vacancies to be filled and Mr. Cranford will pro bably be quite busy tomorrow with candidates who would hold office after the general election in November.

In the west he’s the driest of drys. What is his position? The people of North Carolina are entitled to know. “Of course Mr. McDonald’s lack of qualification for the governorship does not entitle me to the position, except possibly fey comparison, unless my past record and my platform are such as of themselves recommend me to the voters of the state. My past re cord as a legislator and as lieutenant governor is an open book. My plat form has been stated repeatedly and clearly. On this record and platform I gladly stand.” School At Ramseur Will Come To Close On Friday, May 15th (Continued from page 1) day exercises will take up most of the week, with graduation exercises being held Thursday night.
