ALL WHO AFFILIATE WITH f *
PARTY MAY VOTE SATURDAY
The (filiation has been raised in
sonic iiarts of the State as to who is!
eligible to vote in the Democratic
primary, 011 Saturday, ami as to
whether Democrats who voted for;
Hoover In I<>2S have that riglit.
Attorney General Dennis (i. Brum
niitt hjis handed down an opinion
staling that Hoover Democrats can
vote in the primary, if I hey intend
in good faith to support the Demo
cratic ticket in the coming general
election. 1
Ihe Attorney General's opninion
sets forth that:
''The Supreme Court has clearly
held that the duty of passing upon
the party affiliation of those partiei-'
pating in the primary has been vest
ed in the local registrars and judges
of election. The action of these of
ficials are not rcvi?\vable by the'
courts. . I
"There are certain standards cs-|
tablished by the law for participa
tion in a party primary. Shortly stat-;
ed, they are that one has the right
to participate''in the Democratic pri-(
mary when: v.
*'(a) He affiliates with that party;,
"(b) Is in good faith a mem-,
ber thereof; and ' I
"(c) In good faith intends to sup
port the candidates nominated in the
primary of such party.
"When a person is chaHanged, it
is -the duty of the election officials
to determine the right of such per
son to participate in tin- primary,
based upon whether he has the stat
1 us and intention so set out. Such
person may be sworn to true answer
make to all questions that may be
nuked him touching his party affilia
, tion. That inquiry necessarily in
i eludes questions directed toward (a)
(b) and (c) above.
"Election officials do have the
j eight to make inquiry as to how
' such persons voted in the past. The
j fact that a person has been voting
the Republican or Democratic ticket
would be strong evidence as to his
present party affiliation. The test
1 should not be simply how such pcr
j sou voted on the National ticket in
i 1928. I am of the opinion that a per
I son who has been voting the Dcmo
, cratic ticker and intends to support
? all the candidates nominated in the
j approaching primary, ought too be
! excluded from the Democratic pri
? marv this year simply and only bc
I cause of such person's vote on the
J national ticket in 1928, but a per
I son should be excluded from the Dem
ocratic primary who has been voting
the Republian ticket 'in.? the past,
and or does not in good ' faith in
tend to support all -of the candidates
I nominated in the Democratic pri
; mary this year".

THE WEEK
(By DAN TOMPKINS)
The primary election, to be held
Saturday is attracting most atten
tion jn the State. The Ashevillc Cit
izen of Sunday carried a survey of
the situation in the 25 mountain
counties, from its local correspond
ents (described by the Greensboro
Da i ley News as "the prophets on the
mountain to|*>"). The survey show
ed that the Bailey sentiment in the
mountains is strong. It is inconceiv
able that all these men and women,
whose business it is to know local
conditions, should be wron^, and
they practically all told the same
tale that "the mountains are on fire'
for Bailey". If they are reasonably i
correct in their observations, Bailey
should leave the mountains, going
Kast, with a majority of 25,000, or an j
average majority of 1,000 to the
county. If the mountain prophets
know what they are talking about,
Simmons will have an up-hill fight
to overcome the mountain majority,
when he reaches his strong counties
of Mecklenburg, Forsyth, Gaston, |
Guilford, and Durham. Truth to tell, j
it looks very much as if the "Little
Giant" from the coast, is in for hisj
first j>ersonal defeat in more than aj
quarter of a century.

Senator Simmons says that his re-i
fusal to support the Democratic;
National ticket, in 1928, was a mat- j
ter of< consciense. Ile advised young
Democrats to vote for Hoover, yet:
he says that he didn't do it himself.
It is indeed a peculiar conscious that
dictates to one to advise others to
do what one will not do oneself.
The only imjiortant thing for el
ection officials to do, at this time,
is to see to it that very candidate
gets a square deal. The Journal IToes
not believe that there will be any
, trickery; but extreme care should be
I taken to sec to it that the primary,
j like Caesar's wife, is above suspicion.
There should be, and will be no room
| ,
for friends of defeated candidates
I to even suspect that their favoritcv
i did not get every vote that was just
; ly due them, and that nobody rc
I ceivil more than tliat. Thus can the
way be paved for harmony, and a
, Democratic victory, in November.
Joseph us Daniels, shaking in
j Charlotte on Memorial Day, asserted
that this country is a slacker in the
? ^ I
cause of peace. "Wars will end,[
said Mr. Daniels, ''when all nations,
including our own, mobilize for sup-!
planting it with something better.
We have been so far using wcazle
words, throwing tufts of grass, and
being satisfied with magnificent ges
tures". All of which is truth. The
lowers that be in this country have
been so fearful that some glory might!
accrue to Woodrow Wilson, who un- j
j fortunately for the peace of the j
world, was a Democrat, that they |
: have been unwilling to make any j
! genuine effort to consolidate the
I peace that was so dearly won. Not
! onlv that, but in the efforts to dis- ?
? * ? ? I
I credit our great President, an insi<V j
ious propaganda has been at work to'
discredit that war, and the wave of
idealism that actuated the American j
people during war days. As a result,
after four years of mire and carn
age, nobody won the war, and every
body lost it. The war was lost in the j
United States senate, after the guns
had ceased firing The World turned
against us. Our ideals were broken, j
No wonder we find ourselves emeshed
I in a mire of materialism. Then wc'
! surrounded ourselves wtih a high
j tariff wall, shut off our foreign mar
kets, estranged ourselves from our
neighbor nations, kidded ourselves in- j
to believing we were on the high j
road to prosperity undreamed of,,
indulged in an oigy of stock gamb-:
ling; and as a result of it all, wc.
now find ourselves caught in our
own trap, and the god we worship?
Business?paralyzed. Our great.
statesmen in Washington can think!
of no way out except to build the j
tariff barrier still higher, imposing!
greater burdens on our own people,
and they can't even agre on that. To
seek an outlet Jn foreign fields for
the products of our farms, mines and
factories, which would relieve the sit
uation, would necessitate adopting
the broad view of human brother
hood, as preached by Wilson; and
that would never, never do. He was
a Democrat. So our ships for our
merchant marine have decayed on
Hog Island. Our prestige among the
nations is gone. And onr own people
are paying the piper. "No man Hr

ALLEN FISHER DJES
AT ANDREWS HOME
Many frinds and relatives, in this
county, of Allen Fisher, will regret
to leam of his death, at his home in
Andrews.
The funeral was held in the An
drews Methodist church, on yester
day. The Rev. John R. Church, for
mer pastor, now pastor at King's
mountain, conducted the service.
The body was interred in the An
drews cemetery.
Mr. Fisher was 33 years of age.
In 1917 he volunteered wtih the troop
made up at Andrews and served oonc
year in France. For some time he
was a patient at Oteen.
II is survived by his widow, moth
er and father, Mr. and Mrs. W. T.
Fisher of Andrews, two sister, Mrs.
.T. H. Christy of Andrews and Mrs.
Matt McBrayer of Rutherfordton.
The young man was a grandson of
the late John E. McLean, former
sheriff of Jackson county. His fath
er and mother are both natives of
this county, and he has many rela
tives here.

High school students who are anx

applies to a nation, and is a great
economic, social and religious truth.
President Hoover received one of
the most stinging rebukes admini
stered to a president in many years,
when his veto of the Spaaish-Ameri
can War Veterans' Pension Bill was
overridden by congress by a vote of
298 to 14 in the House and 61 to IS
in the Senate. Rarely, if ever, has h
president fallen so far short of re
ceiving support of his own party in
