WHEREAS, Six of the eleven

the eastern section of the State,
two are from the center and on
ly three are from the Piedmont
and western counties, and,
WHEREAS, These officials
form several ex-offido boards and
commissions which direct the poli
cies and handle the bulk of th r
business for the people of the
entire State, thus placing the
eastern officials in practical and
actual control of the State gov
ernment, as shown by the follow
ing:
J The Council of State is ciimpoi
,ed of three easterners, two wes
terners, with the legal ativis :
from the east;
i
' The Stiite Board Educatioa
i
is composed of fcur easterner*
one from the center and two .
the piedmont and western „•
tions;
, The State Board of Assessments
is composed of four east eme!'.
i
and one from the piedmont;
j The Executive Committee
! the Local Government Commis
sion is composed of three eastern
ers and one from the center, with
'no piedmont or western member;
The World War Veterans' Loan
j Fund Committee is composed o I
I two members from the east, one
from the center and one from thi
west;
The Municipal Board of Con
trol for the State is composed of
three easterners, (two of them
from one small county);
and numbers of other lesser known
but important commissions and
boards, and,
WHEREAS, Fully two-thirds o*
the major appointive officers o I
the State are from the east, and,
I because of this, probably more
than two-thirds of the lesser offi-
qials and employees of ih c
State are from the east, and,
WHEREAS, the 46 counties ol
the east, containing almost ex
actly one-half of the land area
of the State, have only 40 per
cent of the State's total popula
tion, hav« cast only-20 to 40 pe
cent of the Democratic votes in
'.every general election in the
jpast decade, and pay only one
, third of the taxes levied to ope; -
'ate the State ovemment, while
| the other 54 counties in the west
era half of tlie Stute, with equal
| land area, have 60 per cent of
jthe population, cast from 60 \)
80 per cent of the Democratic
votes in the general elections, and
pay two-thirds of the taxes on
which the State operates, and,
WHEREAS, it is about timo
that the Democrats of the Piet!-
Mont and western counties realiz
ed that they are casting th z
votes and paying the bills whil
the eastern minorities levy th c
taxes, reap the political reward*
and conduct the affairs of the
State, and that they demand at
| least a fair' and equitable share in
ithese important positions; Now.
I Therefore:
BE IT RESOLVED: That we.
the Democrats of Stokes Couhty;
hereby declare that we will en
courage honorable, able and trust
worthy citizens of piedmont and
western North Carolina to be
come candidates for all State
wide elective executive offices in

ing no objection to the present
plan of alternating candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Gover
nor between east and west) and
that, other things being equal, we
promise our support to candidates
for these offices from the pied
mont and west, in order that
these sections may get a fair and
equitable representation in State
offices and thus have some voice
in tAI operation and business of
the State Government.
