Hoping Senator Borah may lead them

party, stirred to militant action by
the repeat and re-submission stands of
the Democrats and Republicans,

The party's national chairman sped

the Idaho senator at Washington,
withholding, meanwhile, any intima

referring inquires to D. Leigh Colvin, i
the party's national chairman.
Borah, for the first time in a career |

Carolina Democrats made
political history in their pri
mary Saturday. t
Reynolds .the Asheville attorney
who dared to campaign for the Sen
ate nomination on a platform calling
for repeal of prohibition, defeated
Senator Cameron Morrison by the lar
gest majority by which any candidate
has ever been nominated in a primary
in this State.
The incomplete returns Indicated
his majority would be well over 100,-

Ehringhaus appeared, on the face!
of incomplete returns, to have been
nominated for governor by around
10.000 votes, a slim majority in view
of the nearly 350,000 ballots cast in
his contest with Lieutenant Governor
R. T. Fountain.
Fletcher, now deputy Insurance com

nomination as commissioner of labor.
