BKOUGHTON'S POSITION IS AS FOLLOWS: "In conformity with the pledges of the Demo cratic party, ail food for home consumption should be exempted. 'Let us take the sales tax off the home table." The improvement in business as reflected in increased revenue under our present tax laws will now justify this action without any increase of any othei tax and without, any State tax on land." Mr. Broughton is the only candidate for Governor through whose efforts we can expect food lor the home table to be ex empted from the Sales Tax. He has been endorsed by the North Carolina Food Dealers Association. Your neighborhood grocer urges you to join with him in electing Mr. Broughton in order that you may be relieved of the burden of paying the Sales Tax on food for your home.

Broughton and Maxwell Strongest In First Four Congressional Districts (Continued 1* rom One) with an advantage thev do not lose elsewhere. (setting down to cases, the First District (14 counties with a 1936 vote of 30.849. excluding" a few scattered McRae votes) seems to be a wide open affair. Taking up some of the counties, vitii the approximate 1936 vote ii* parenthesis, here is how they shape up: There is general agreement that Horton will get Beaufort (4,807) and has a fine chance of leading in Chowan (1.536). Senator "Bill" Rod man and EJentuii's Representative John Fernando White are credited v. itii these. Second place in both is a toss-up between Maxwell and L3roughton. Currituck (2.023). Dare (1.475) and Perquimans (1.335) are put in the Maxwell column by many supposedly unbiased observers: while the Com missioner of Revenue is given a good chance in Camden (1.666), Gates (1.542) and Tyrrell (767). Broughton looks best in Hertford (1.965), Martin (3,093) where Grave ly is said to be strong and a real fac tor. and Washington (1,678). Fas iiiot'iiik (3.519) has generally been listed as for Broughton but Maxwell i.- thought to have a look-in, even if a long snot. Tin' Second District's eight coum 'ics v.ii.ti 42,300 strong in 1936. It" i iJroughton district this time. Mire Lee Gravely is well ahead in Eiijitcombe (5.729) and is rated to nave equal chances with Horton in Haliiax (9.501) and Wilson (7,770). though in the last two counties :i:»»u.Jihto:j nor Maxwell headquarters ' I i concede they are at a disadvan tage. cr;,ughton looks the wiimer in Warren (3.271). and Bertie (3.181). !!<• probably has a slight edge over Maxwell in Northampton (4,021). Lvnior (5,124) is likewise likely to fiive the* lialtigh man a lead. (Jretne (3,(587) is in the Maxwell ■ohiinn according to best estimates. hi the third, nine counties that cast J3,999 \ ><!•.■ in 193(5, it appears to be vinxv/ell, who wiii sweep Wayne i.(ilH) .'titi run at least reasonably •veil in almost ail the other units. He hould lead in Onslow (2,958) and SampM.n (2,810) though Broughton lias strength in both and Horton isn't to be counted out in Onslow. Carteret (3.819) is leaning to Broughton, but could be very close to a three-way split, and the same lines fur Craven (5,950). Pender (2, fil7) will likely land in Broughton's L-oluiiiii, while Duplin (4,708) is pro bably closely fought, with Gravely having some strength. Information >ii Pamlico (1,562) is confusing and scarce. Jones (1,875) could wind up for Horton. The Fourth District's 59,270 votes •I' 1930 make it an important battle ground, with Wake (23,073) as the key county. Here Broughton will have a substantial lead, but he will by no means swamp Maxwell, who looks to be well entrenched in sec ind place. There probably will not jc anything like 20,000 votes. Chatham (3,370) will be a sweep for Horton, while, as said, Grady is still rated way in front for Johnston (9,941). Gravely has a lock on Nash (8,485). Broughton ought to lead by a sub stantial margin in Franklin (5,548), ivhere Willie Lee Lumpkin is report edly at work for him: and he seems to have an edge in Vance (5,007). Maxwell forces expect Randolph [3,848) to be one of their banner ;ounties of the state. The Broughton lead in the Fourth >vill not be tremendous. • There are so many factors com plicating the race that any attempt o divide the vote numerically would je barging out into a sea of pure speculation. Registration from all the counties n the section which has come to M Candidate William B. Oliver (above) of Fuquay Springs is opposing the in cumbent, Dan C. Boney. in the race for the Democratic nomination for state insurance commissioner. He is 44 years of age. a graduate of Wake Forest college. Hi- has practiced law in Fuquay Springs for the past 17 years, serving also as mayor, town attorney, and commander of the Fuquay-Angier post of the American, Legion. He was a small arms in-] structor in the Uiy'ted States Navy during the World war. I In a campaign statement issued! today. Oliver attacked "the pernicious influences of foreign insurance com- | panics" upon the state insurance de partment. your reporter's attention has been surprisingly heavy but one man's guess is almost as good as another's when it comes to figuring the total vote—much less how it will be divid ed. In most of the counties there will be no majorities, only pluralities for the several leaders, and with the bal ance of the vote split from two to five ways there can be no reason able certainty about anybody's share of the grand total. If the total poll goes to 150,000, as it probably will not, the leader, whether it be Broughton, Maxwell or a dark horse, will likely have ncJ more than 55,000 at the very out side, with the second place man not more than 5.000 back of that. Tomorrow, attention will be given the Fifth, Sixth. Seventh and Eighth Districts. Nazi Force Driving South Within Sight Of The Eiffel Tower (Continued From Pago One) with everybody behind everybody else's lines." It was apparently a wide open scrimmage fls confusing as parts of a football game. A British spokesman said there were "bands of German tanks wand ering about living off the country" in a wide salient striking into France. He said, however, they were becoming more vulnerable to allied attacks. The German communique claimed that General Gir.iud. hiliierlo com mander ill the Seventh French army who assumed command over the Ninth army, had been captured with his general staff. The Ge rman communique said Hit ler's armies were "crowding toward the channel coast all the French and Belgian armies still to be found! north of the Somme." Earlier German estimates said one million French and 250,000 Belgiansj were fighting in this area wilh some; 300,00(1 British to the north of these j Hitler May Not Attempt j To Take Paris at Once | (Continued !• rom Poire One) man western armies as Hitler's per-J sonal guests. • Von Ilichenau is credited with knowing every detail of Germany's famous pincner tactics. He covered himself witli giory during tin.* Polish campaign. With Von Reichenau's army on the1 right wing apparently hearting in the direction of the French and Belgian coastal points and with the left wing gradually moving southward. Hitler could afford to let foe center tako care of itself as indicated in yester day's high command communique. Paris will fall fit to his lap, he feels, like a ripe apple from a tree if Von forces heading for the coast. Be sides, Hitler is not nearly as much Reichenau can intercept the allied interested in Paris as in London. One must not forget that Hitler regards the present war primarily as a fight with the British empire. Months of incessant propaganda have inculcated this idea also in the minds of the 'German people. Faith and works are as necessary j in governmental affairs as in reii- I gion.
