Many problems affecting the welfare of the people of North
Carolina will face the 1937 General Assembly, and indications
are that the session will be a long drawn-out one. Every county
in the State should send to that legislature men who are capable
and fit.
In the candidacy of Henry A. Dennis for this office from the
fourteenth district, composed of Vance and Warren counties, the
people of Vance county have the opportunity to send to the Sen
ate a man who is acquainted with legislative affairs through long
study of the workings of the General Assembly, and who has had
opportunity to study intimately, through his newspaper affilia
tions, the trends of public sentiment and the mind of the people.
You cannot go wrong in voting for this candidate, who has liv
ed in Vance county nearly 22 years, knows its needs and what it is
entitled to, and whose reputatio n for character and honesty and
square dealing is an open book. He is a man who was born among
the masses, has been a hard worker all his life, and is acquainted
with the struggles of the average man for a livelihood.
He will give to this county, district and State, honest, capable
and intelligent service. He and his friends and supporters will
appreciate your vote and your support in the Democratic pri
mary next Saturday, June 6.

Efforts had been made to have the
