Luther Hamilton.—-Look upon ttjj— .oilier of the Third district candidate* {or Congress.

For exam- , plo, in 1912, before the urge tor educa tion iieeaiue universal, Atlantic had more than 2T> students in the Colleges. At that time Mr. Hamilton was flgfct jns away for his oma edueafiaaL f the University, where be took Me }$w 1 course, he served a* waiter and did ; any other work at hand to pay his way- Securing his ttenue as »lawyer be located at Morehead City la 1015 In 1!*21 lie had so w the confidence mid esteem of the -people of Carteret county that he had been cboaea sena tor from his district and in that eata ble session, which inaugurated the good roads movement on a grand seal* and educational development on an equal ly magnificent and munificent scale, lie was a . in_fTOln?r of _ ifo; imnate mittce on education and Wiped push forward the measures looking to Hie development of a real educational pro-' Siam in the state. i lie was a member of t£e. House in 3031 and 1033, and was accounted one of its strong and i most dependable mem hers. Mr. Hamilton was not fool ed by the propaganda for repeal, beer, and racing, but held" firmly to the tra ditions which have been since so enir phatioally approved by a vote of the people. Ho volunteered for the world.war in 3017 and spent 23 months in tiie ser- ' vice, ton months abroad.. 1 Mr. Hamilton, seen a week ago, ex pn-ssed himself confident ofjsvinning in the race. However, he has not been aide to give the time be would jjave liked to give to his campaign, as he has spent much of the time for the. last, cloven months in Washington City in behalf of the Morehead OKy Port ad projiriation and was just hack from a three-day visit there. He expressed himself as confident that the appropri- * atiou by now assured. “With the finest «f climates, the most fertile soils, and thousands of miles of navigable w^ter courses, eastern North Carolina*, *ays If g m >4 t„ S2ttl? ft* * «* % unities.”*^ iee^s that he can .be ©f genuine service not only -bo the Third Strict but to • the whole state as congressman.

' He feels that his district deserves more amt that he is the man to'Tielp get it. And »t is a fact that if the Morehead port •^is developed it will be largely because pf the efforts of Mr. HamiMmaT But with five strong men in the field against him, it will be a real victory, 4f he should go into the second pri mary. In that ease, he would still have the fight of his life to secure the nomination. ■ r ’ Graham. A. Barden Here* is one of the leading candidates for the Demo- „ era tic nomination tor Congress Iu the Third district. He will run strong in tour counties, at least. Born in Samp, eon and related through the Vann »*Mi other strains to many of Its oitisens, reared iii Pender and possessed of " asany friends in that county, and hav ing three brothers in Duplin who are active In his campaign, and long a res ident of New Berm where he has !«?en elected time and again judge of the 1 city court, aud representative from,," Craven county in the General Assem- > Wy* it is evident that he, with-the re* cognized ability vof. congressional ma terial, cannot be ignored in the hot. contest in the Third district. jr. v. Mr. Barden is a graduate-of tine, liar- J gasr high school and of the .State Uni versity, class of 1920. JEfe began lihs career as a teacher in the New Bern high- school, but soon turned his tab eats to the law, He is also largely im terested in agricnltare, and it is said that Craven farmers jwlli-ag*ee that . Jtfr. Barden has been of probably more genuine assistance to them in their agricultural endeavors and progress. »than any other person. He has given 1 of his interest and time to .ghurch ^fork, to youth movements, and to gen eral welfare. He is also a.“Jiner”, be ing a Sudan Rhriner, a past master of the Doric Masonic Lodge, past coun cilor of the Junior Order, past exalted ruler of the New Beru Lodge of Elks. He has a war record and as a member of the American Legion has lmen com mander of the New Bern Post and dis trict commander. He was active dur ing the fight last fall for better tobac 'co prices and made! three trips to "Washington in behalf of the movement. But the State knows Graham Bar-: den better as~a legislator. In the 1383 session he ranked high, being general ly recognized as one of the strong men. of the body and was particularly ac tive in the fight to reduce taad taxes. ; end was active in the movement to have the state take over the support pf the schools. - Mr. Barden is a great-grandson of James Vann, one of the most outstand ing citizens of Sampson county during the middle- years of the '18th century and founder at Mount Gilend chuyeh. of which the editor of foe'Voice was a member in-hk youth. As aijvTIar v^deh remarks; the writer probably . knows more of his <eneology thau' he i does himself. Verily if all the deiK cemlants of Jaaies Yana were in bis district ami should ftote for Graham, he would have a wte©ppingrv«tfe fjsom: ^tbat ©ue source. ’ Harold Coofey-Hflere' is qne of the; leading candidates, for the Democratic •nomination for congressman from the Fourth district to sqcceed-fhe lament ed E, W. Poii. There is hardly any question that he will be in the second ‘ primary, which it appears the^trong contest being made by five candidates ■ .will necessitate. Cooley is quite a youngster, hav ing been torn in July, 1807, and isAc cordingly only SB years of age. "fUs father, himself a noted attqgney, was born in Franklin county, but spent teis comparatively brief career in Nash-. vlfles. Both Jbis father and mother dy ing when Harold was a lad, the presi dent candidate for congress had to wtfifc white many of his age" played. However, he succeeded in graduating 1 from the Nashville high school and Completing n law course^partly at the C. University- and partly at Yale' University Law School before tee ^ was! 21 years old. Before he reached his i maturity and could begin his practice, * ie~ volunteered for service in the army and spent the remaining months of ihe war as a member of the Nasal Avia tion Flying U&rps.. That was 1918. The same year he was sworn in as an f attorney'and within the short period of C CANDIDATE FOR SO LI € I T -0 R Fourth Judicial Oistrict I thereby announce my can didacy for Solicitor of the Fourth Judicial District subject ‘to the action of the Democratic Primary on Saturday, June 2.
