The expected vote is al most 400,000 —actually, 399,318. Four years ago in the first primary a total of 379,657 vote was cast for governor, the last race comparable with the present one. Taking the fig ures of the state board of elections in HENDERSON '(N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, THURSDAY, MAY 28,1936. all cases, the relative voting strength of each county as it was related to the whole was calculated by a staff of competent business machine oper ators, using calculating machines. Wake county, for instance, in the first primary of 1932 cast 4.33 per cent of the total statewide vote for governor. On that basis Wake county will cast approximately 17,320 votes next June 6. The figure 17,320 was taken and divided among the four candidates, according to their strength, iby per centage, in the straw voting. The four results thus predict the number of votes each candidate will get in Wake county in the first primary. The pro cess was carried out, without varia tion, in each of the 100 counties. The results can be seen in the “weighted” table. By weighing the newspaper poll figures an accurate picture, obtain able in no other way, is secured. Counties returning heavy percentages of straw ballots do not, in the weight ed table, outweigh the counties re turning smaller percentages of straw ballots. Weighting of the figures equalizes inconsistencies, such as the Gaston and Richmond straw votes. Richmond county has returned 230 straw ballots and Gaston county but 210, although in actual elections, Gas ton records almost twice as many votes as Richmond. A comparison of the figures opposite the two counties in the two tables accompanying this article today shows how weighting of the figures correct such inconsis tencies. Degree of Accuracy. However, while inconsistencies may result in an advantage in actual straw votes for a particular candidate in a particular county, they result in an exactly opposite fashion in others, so that, as a whole, the actual straw vote totals are almost as accurate as the weighed totals. A comparison of the statewide percentages, (both actual straw vote and weighted, reveal the accuracy of the poll: Hoey Gr’m McDl’d Mcßae Poll Pets. ..34.26 16.14 47.84 1.76 W’ted Pets. 34.6 15.2 48.2 2 A comparison of the east-west vote reveals that during the last two weeks McDonald has slipped slightly in the east, but more than counteracted the loss by gains in the west. Graham alone has gained in the east, but has not fared well in the west. Hoey re tains his east strength, but has lost a little in the west.

McDonald is the leader in 57 coun ties. Last week he had 58 counties. Hoey 37. Graham four, Mcßae one. This week Hoey still has 37, Graham two, Mcßae one. Hoey and Graham are tied for the possession of one, Swain, a county formerly held by Gra ham. Graham’s two counties are Orange, where he lives, and Beaufort. Henderson, in, the Graham column last week, has slipped into the Hoey fold. Henderson, it should be noted, is a closely contested county, with Hoey Graham, and McDonald literally neck and neck. Tied In Two Counties McDonald and Hoey are now tied in two counties, Hoke and Mont gomery. Last week both were in the McDonald lineup. The McDonald counties are: Ala mance, Alexander, Alleghany, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Camden, Car- In Poole Slaying?.

Poole, a WPA worker, is pic tured as he appeared in court. According to John I. Navarre, head of the Detroit homicide squad, Dean made a new state ment concerning his reputed con fession that he emptied two re volvers into Poole’s body at the time of the “execution”. Navarre quoted Dean as saying that “It was a one-way ride; we all knew that.

Except for Cleveland, Forsyth, and Orange, it is believed that the total vote estimates for the State are essentially correct. Because. Hoey lives in Cleveland, McDonald in Forsyth, and Graham in Orange, it is thought that the three counties will have unusually large votes, exceeding their normal vote by thousands. The same is probably true, in a measure, of Anson, where John Mcßae was reared. In the Henderson Daily Dispatch next . Thursday the final tabulation, showing zero-hour standings of the four candidates, will appear. Will sentiment shift sharply during the week? Will one of the candidates, secure a majority, thus eliminating a second primary on the governorship race? The Daily Dispatch will have the answer—next Thursday.
