Mr. Kirkman states that he believes that there could be enough money saved by building the proper type of roads to off set the amount now being ob-i i tained from taxing a poor man's bread and meat. Mr. Kirk- 1 man said he would advocate a complete overhaul of the State School System. Authorities in the counties know school condi tions much better than Stata school officials. He thinks that some of the finest training' American children ever had was' obtained in the little red school; house. He proposes adjustment J and higher pay for teachers. and| higher standards actually re- j quired and maintained in all our 1 schools. Mr. Kirkman states that he favors social security, legislation that will enable the State of Xnifh C ii.'lina to obtain its share of Feletal funds. However, he does not think that this should be acrried to the extreme, J Jin lif elected to the State Senate, will fight the passage of any law granting more money j than the State* could hope to pav without additional taxation.

May 13. - I; is apparent to tli«« most caf'UT observer that the candidacy >; Geo. Ross Pou for State Auditri has met with a most favorable ! and enthusiastic response froi; every section of the State. Pou'. campaign is being conducted without an alignment with any candidate for Governor and he is not the candidate of any "special group." Pou' s record of business efficiency, his promise to "breathe new life" into the State Audi tor's office, and the fact that he is carrying his cause direct to the peoplp has made a splendid appeal. Friends over the State are now predicting Mr. Pou will be nominated over all other can didates for State Auditor in the first primary. Mr. Pou is and always has been opposed to the so-called "Short Ballot'" whereby all officers would be appointed by the Governor with the exception of the seven constitutional of ficers. "The people should be al lowed full voice in the selection of their office holders," said Mr. Pou. "If there is to be any change I favor letting the people vote on more officers rather than less." 1 Hi I FOR CONGRESS * - 2 : I FRANK HANCOCK I ■ (Let His Record Speak) - K J ABLE EXPERIENCED SINCERE P W x>oooo 00000 K §j ■ Knows no master but the people. jgj 9 Hears no voice but his duty a| % Give him a great vote of confidence and approval. jfc I IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ON JUNE 6th I J| FRANK HANCOCK FOR CONGRESS COMMITTEE » An Order For The Re funding of Bonds of Stokes County Falling Due and Past Due Be it ordered by the Board of County Commissioners of Stokes County, North Carolina, as fol lows: 1.
