July 27—The two new bridges being sought by eastern coun ties, especially Dare ccunty, to con nect Tyrrell and Dare counties and Roanoke Ipland by bridging the Alli gator river and Croatan Sound, would benefit the other counties in the State just as much, if not more, than they would help these immediate counties. according to D. B. Fearing, of Manteo, who headed a large dele gation before the State Highway and Public Works Commission here this week asking that these bridges be built. For these bridges would act as funnel through which thousands of tourists and I’isitors who now visit the Wright Memorial at Kitty Hawk, Nags Head and Roanoke Island, would flow across into the interior counties in the State, many of them all the way across the State to the mountains.

Gore’s acceptance of the challenge that he is no Democrat, be cause he has opposed so many New Deal policies, may prove to be an ex. ample that a considerable number of Democratically - labeled lawmakers will follow. \ The blind senator from Oklahoma comes up for renomination and re election next year. Oklahoma’s governor, E. W. Mar land, raises the point that he has ceased to be a member of the party and consequently is unentitled to re nomination on its ticket. To this the senator replies that he has stood strictly by the Democrats’ 1932 plat form, and that, whenever he has fail ed to support the administration, the President, not he, has been the party ‘‘bolter.” It is on that, record that he says he will campaign for renom ination. SIMILAR TO OTHERS Now, Senator Gore’s position is not unlike that of a dozen or 15 other senators, who assert that they are real Democrats —and who at least im ply that President Roosevelt isn’t a real one. They do not all come up for a re election next year, to be sure. Senators Josiah W. Bailey of North Carolina, Carter Glass of Virginia and Huey P. Long ofj Louisiana do.
