that a normal increase will be record
ed this year. 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. The comparison,
with actual votes above the line, per
centages below:
Hoey Gr’m .MicDl’d Mcßae
East .. ~ 1943 1433 3997 92
Wtest . .. 4138 1432 4496 221
East .... 26 19.2 53.5 1.3
West .... 40 14 44 2
McDonald remains the leader in all
the populous counties, except one,
Buncombe, where Hoey is the fa
vorite.
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-

Dayton Dean
Dayton Dean, Detroit city em
ploye and one of the 12 alleged
Black Legion members charged
with the “execution” of Charlel
A. 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. We wanted it to be a neck
tie party with the robes and re
galia but when some of the cara
got lost —we got tired waiting, so
l shot him.”

It is believed that the newspaper
poll will accurately forecast the out
come of the first primary in the final
tabulation, to be published next Thurs
day, just two days before the actual
voting begins. 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.
