Democrats and 25 Republicans; or 12
for the five Stats-wide positions; 39
for the 11 seats in Congress, 17 for
the 10 superior court judgships, and
48 for the 20 solicitorships, Secretary
Raymond C. Maxwell reported.
Only one office did more than one
Republican file, two filing for the
Republican nomination of Utilities
Commissioner, and thus forcing the
Republicans into the primary, as
much as they claim they dislike it.
Heretofore, only convention nominees
filed, resulting in no primary contest,
except in one campaign for the U.
S. Senate nomination four years ago.
Two also filed for a solicitorship.
Republicans have filed for every
seat in Congress, which is rare, and
for the five State-wide positions, but
for only two of the judgeships and
only five of the solictiorships. No
Democrat fifed against Solicitor John
R. Jones, 17th district, but he has a
Republican opponent, F. J. McDuffie,
N. Wilkesboro.
Fees for filing are one per cent of
the annual salary, making it $100 for
Congress, $75 for Supreme Court
Court justices, $65 for Superior
Court judges, $45 for the two State
offices, and $39 for solicitors. Secre
tary Maxwell ha srecetved $7,525 in
fees, but only $5,600 was appropriat
ed for the primary cost.
Only a few unexpected names were
filed at the last minute, Republican
Chairman W. C. Meekins, Henderson

blanks just in time. The list of can

Mr. Hugh Dortch, candidate for

Craven County has held the office of
Congressman since 1901 for thirty

ians have evidently passed through
the ' truck-for-all-purposes" stage and
are now buying automobiles to rule
in, instead of making the truck
serve as the family car, along with
its other uses, as was the case dur
ing the depression period.
Motor vehicles in the State April
1 numbered 334,714, or 66,748 more
than the 269,966 licensed in the
State a year before. Passenger cars
had reached 278,638, as compared
with 227,091 a year before, while
trucks had shown an increase of 13,
201, from 42,875 to 56,076 in the
year, cards in the office of Director
L. S. Harris, of the Motor Behicle
Bureau, show.
In fact, the number of vehicles li
censed in the first three months of
the year was only 74,381 smaller
than the entire number licensed dur
ing the year 1933, which was 409,
095, as compared with the 334,714
licensed to April 1, 1934. Non-resident
passenger cars incerased 100
over a year before, while motorcycles
increased from 577 a year ago to 711
on April 1.
Guilford county led in both cars
and trucks, with 19,125 cars and
2800 trucks; Mecklenburg had 16,
050 cars and 2725 trucks; Forsyth
had 13,575 cars and 1800 trucks;
Wake, 11,600 cars and 2525 trucks,
and Buncombe, 10,475 cars and 1650
trucks.
Carteret county had 1000 passen
ger' cars April 1, as compared with
700 a year before, and 1250 three
months ago, December 31; and had
350 trucks April 1, as compared with
325 a year ago and 510 on Decem
ber 31, at the end of the year.
These figures are obtained by
counting and measuring a given num
ber of the cards on file in the motor
vehicle bureau office, each represent
ing a license plate, and then meas
uring the cards for each county, so
that the number given is within half
a dozen of the actual number, Direc
tor Harris states.
