SATS SIMMONS HONOR ROUND
TO SUPPORT PARTY NOMINEE
Former Governor Angus \V. Mc
Leuu, in a radio speech d< livered
from Raleigh Monday n'ght, assented
that Senator Simmons 'is in honor
bound to wupport Mr. Bailey.
"No appeal can rightfully be ta-:
ken by any one who participated in
the June Demperatio primary, from
the judgment thus rendered".
"The Democratic party in North
Carolina, through the primary which
derived its power to decide from the
ppople themselves", former Governor
McLean said, "has rendered .judg
ment in settling the question as to
who shall be our party candidate and
rto appeal rcin rightfully be take-)
from the judgment thus rendered".
Tl e former governor said he,
"a'ong with thousands o; loyal
Democrats", <up]>orted United States
Senator F. M. Simmons for renonii
nabion biit that lie was "honor bound
to support Josiah W. Bailey who de
feated Senator Simmons in the pri
mary".
"The candidate^ themselves", Mr.
McLean said, "under the law enter
ed into a solmen obligation in writ
ing to support, all the candidates nom;
inated in the primary. All of us
among the rank and file who voted
for them assumed an o' ligation no
less hinding, though not in writing,
to support in November, all candi
daates who revived the nomination".
CHAIRMAN SHOUSB
FORECASTS DEMOCRATIC
HOUSE?CHANCE FOR SENATE
Washington, October 29?Iii a fore
*? ?;
cast of tfae November eleetion re
sults, Chairman Jouett Shonse of
the Democratic National Executive
Committee, in a public statement
says:
"I unhesitatingly make the pre
diction today based on a dispassion
ate summary of the fact-', allowing
full (Consideration to over optimism
in some of our reports, that the
House of Representatives of the Sev
enty Second Congress will show a
Democratic majority. To attain this
requires that th?; Democrat^ should
elect Representatives to 544 seats
now held by Republicans. My figures
show a minimum of GO seats 'in this
category. 1 firmly believe that the
overturn will be nearer 70 than 60."
Chairman Shiu^e points out that he
does not mean control through a
coalition with the Progressive wing
of the Republican Party in the
tiou&e, but " a definite working ma
jority of tlic Democratic Party, re
gardless of Republican rifts and fac
tions in the House membership."
Concerning results in in the Sena
torial election, Chairman Shousesay.
tliat "there are too many States ii>
which the" is .ue is close to justify ;?
similar prediction."
Citing the present complexion o
the Senate as 39 Democrats, 56 Re
nublican* and I Farmer-La bo rite, h<
says:
''The most conservative est1 mate
for the Senate after Mareh 4, 1933.
according to our reportgives us 45
Democrats, 50 Republicans, inelud |
ing all their factions, and the onej
Farmer- La bor man, Shipstead. This
take? no account of such States a>
Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota.
Colorado and Wvrtming, in all ol
which the outcome is doubtful.
If we win in three of these doubt -
ful States we will have one more
Senator than the Republican-,.''
He calls attention to the fact that
in several of these states correspond
ents of the great new .-papers give
the Democrats the best of the situa
tion.
He list* Congressional gains, ac
cording to Democratic figures, as 7
in New England, 15 in the group
comprising New York, Pennsylvania,,
New Jersey Delaware, Maryland
and We.t Virginia; all of the seats
in the South that were lost in the
Hoover election; not far from 30 in
