VOL. XXXVIII TRUTH, HONESTY OF PURPOSE AND UNTIRING FIDELITY TO OUR COUNTRY AND OUR FLAG IS OUR AIM AND OUR PURPOSE YADKINVILLE. YADKIN COUNTY. N. C.. THURSDAY JULY 7, 1932 No. 27 Democrats Pick Roosevelt On Fourth Ballot To Carry Party Standard In November A Chicago Stadium, July i.— I Fr< nklin D. Roosevelt, governor | of New York, was chosen over- ^ whelmingly tonight as the Demo cratic nominee for the presidency. With the force of a real stampede, he swept through the convention as the favorite sons announced one after another their withdrawal from the race, and turned their votes into the swelling Roosevelt column. He was declared the nominee on the fourth ballot, the first taken tonight. ( The official count gave Roose- j velt far more than the two-thirds majority required, the tally being: Total votes—1,148V2, necessary j to choice 766. Roosevelt—945. , Smith—190V2 Baker—5V2. Ritchie—3H. .White—3. Co.:- 1. The seventh session of the national convention then adjourn ed. at 10:58 p. m. until 1 p. m. Saturday when balloting for vice president began. Speaker Garner : was chosen. When Garner released his state j delegation just before tonight’s session met, that started the stami>ede that swept across the excited stadium. Smith Is Holdout Alfred E. Smith was the only one of the nine original candi- ! dates who stayed in to the end. . The eastern block of states with , him steered clear of the stampede, too, sticking with Smith in the face of the sweep. I Associates of Smith said to night they did not believe he would support the Democratic ticket in November. \ Smith heard the nomination of Roosevelt over a radio in his hotel headquarters. He declined to comment. “Do you intend to support the , nominee,” he was asked. “I have no comment to make, ’ he said. As soon as the nomination had been made, the next business nominating a vice president be came the dominant topic. The ticket will go to the country on the first out and out wet plat- \ form of any party in the dozen years that the 18th amendment has been in effect. In line with Roosevelt’s personal stand, repeal of prohibition is made the pledge of the party as against the Re publican platform that promises submission of an alternative amendment that would retain the federal police power over the states for control of liquor. In addition, me Democrats go for immediate modification of the Volstead act to allow beer and wine. The platform adopted this week also opposes cancellation of the war debt and advocates a ‘•competitive tariff for revenue,” a sound currency and a balanced budget. The document cans ior iratiai aid to the states for unemploy ment relief when state funds be come exhausted, a refinancing of the nation’s farm debt at low in terest and control of crop' sur pluses, and a cut of one billion dollars in the cost of government. At 10:24 p. m. hardly more than an hour after the session had be gun Chairman Walsh read the re sult of the ballot and to the ac companiment of the deafening thunderclap of applause pro nounced Governor Roosevelt the nominee of the party. The Roose velt celebrators started another parade around the hall, but Walsh gaveled them down and present ed former Senator Reed,' of Mis souri. The silverhaired Missouri an told the conveation that “our cheers here can’t elect a candi date in November. It requires something else.” Chairman Walsh presented Gov ernor Roosevelt’s telegram thank inj? it and announcing his inten tion to come to Chicago. The con vention, cheered as the cleric read the message. , J. Bruce K renter, of Montana, one of the Roosevelt floor man agers, presented a resolution au thorizing the chair to send a reply saying the convention would wel come the proposed address by the nominee'tomorrow. When the mo tion for adoption was put, a loud chorus of “ayes” and a few scat tered but emphatic "noes” respon ded. Walsh pronounced the resolu tion adopted. On motion of Senator Clarence Dill of Washington state the con vention adopted the formal reso lution providing for appointment of the new national committee. -• WOODARD-MACKIE WEDDING Sunday morning, July 3, at the Friends meeting house in Bloom ingdale, Ind., Miss Edith C.

SUNSHINE AND STORM For a short time during the afternoon of June the 28th, we were in semi-darkness. Dark low hanging clouds moved swiftly across the sky; Lightning flashed and the old hound dog crept a little closer to "his muster and whinedl But as Archibald Rutledge says in the July American, you can’t put out the sun. A storm may cloud our view of the sun, j but the sun shines on just the same and when the ctouds break, ! every tiny raindrop becomes a re flection for the bright sunshine. It is 7:15 now, as I write. The sun is shining and there is the faint watermelon like fragrance of growing corn in the air. All of the world seen from my window, reminds me of an immense jewel ry store with diamonds every- i where. —By An East Bend Reader. IF YOU THINK YOUR JOB’S HARD, CONSIDER THIS ONE London. — Greenland’s only newspaper editor is in London to study British newspaper methods and bring new ideas back to the Arctic. He is Kristoffer Lynge, a stur dy Greenlander, thirty-seven years old, who lives at Godthaab, on the west coast. His newspaper is Atuagagdliutit, or Freely Dis tributed Reading—so-called be cause the cost of printing and distributing its 3,600 copies is borne by the Danish government. Editor Lynge’s newspaper is published once a month, despite the protests of Eskimos who complain that they cannot read a whole .issue in so short a time. Its foreign news comes by radio; its Greenland news is sent to Godthaab by local correspondents in all the tiny settlements along the coast. The paper is set up by linotype by the light of blubber oil lamps, and distributed by dog teams and kayaks to readers liv ing within 900 miles of the North pole. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic presidential nominee, as he addressed the convention a few minutes after arriving in Chicago, by airplane Saturday afternoon. Smith Reynolds Dies From Pistol Wound In Temple; Coroner Making Investigation Winston-Salem, N. C., July 6. —Smith Reynolds, youthful heir to a tobacco fortune, shot and fatally wounded himself early to day on a sleeping porch adjoin ing the bedroom of his wife, the former Libby Holman, Broadway “torch singer,” in his home here. Whether the 20-year-old youth, who took Miss Holman as his sec ond wife a few months ago, in tended to kill himself or accident ally fired the fatal shot was in doubt. Dr. I. N. Dalton, the county coroner, after an exhaustive in vestigation said he was convinc ed the death w:as a suicide or was accidental, but that it might be several days before he would be ready to render a verdict decid ing between the two possibilities. He said he learned no motive for a suicide in his investiga tion. Reynolds, youngest son of the late R. J. Reynolds who built a fortune from tobacco, died in a hospital at dawn, four hours after he was brotight there unconsci ous from the bullet wound. He never recovered consciousness. He and Mrs. Reynolds enter tained at an informal dinner par ty last night. All the guests left about midnight with the excep tion of Ab Walker, of Winston Salem, a close friend of Reynolds, and Miss Blanche Yeager, of New 'York, friend of Mrs. Reynolds and her house guest. 1 Walker hact been invited to spend the night and said he was on the lower floor closing win dows when he heard the muffled report of a shot and then heard Mrs. Reynolds scream. He rushed to the second floor and found Reynolds on the sleep ing porch unconscious from a bullet wound in the head. On the floor by the body was an auto matic pistol. Rev. Stanley May, 96 Rev. Stanley May a well known minister of the Gospel. As he can look back to years gone by To the happy days on the farm, When he was just a little boy With no thought of sorrow, pain or harm. He little thought about it then When life was full of joy and play, That he would ever live to see His ninty-sixth birthday. A year has almost passed away Since we assembled at his home, With many kinds of foods and gifts That he might have them for his own. ^ •!.v 1 ^ He has fought 'a faithful battle Of almost ninty-seven years, But he is so bright and creerful And his memory is very clear. To Deep Creek Baptist Church he was been so And always makes our hearts rejoice When we see his Christ like face And hear again his loving voice. He is always ready to help Those who need comfort and cheer, And tells them of the blessed Savior How he toiled and suffered here. He has been a great help To his State and Uncle Sam, To the ones that need help and service He would gladly say, “Here I iam.” Boys and girls let us be faithful That we like him might be a stepping stone, For some poor lost sinners Who have wandered far from home. His steps are growing slower As he nears life’s weary end, But he has his hope in Jesus Who is a truthful friend. One to whom we can bring our burdens All our sorrows he will share, Then we have that glorious promise Of a mansion bright and fair. Let us fight the good fight of faith 1 That when we come to life’s way, May we have that loving spirit As does our brother, “Uncle Stanley May.” —Edith Willard. faithful Reynolds Piles Up More .

Reynolds’ majority over Senator Cameron Morrison for the Demo cratic senatorial nomination was edged across the 100,000 mark by scanty returns received from Sat urday’s primary, but they failed to alter materially the slim, though apparently safe, margin of J. C. B. Ehringhaus over Lieu tenant Governor R. T. Fountain for the gubernatorial nomination. 340,000 Votes With nearly 340,000 votes ac counted for in unofficial reports from 1,690 of 1,829 precincts, Reynolds, the anti-prohibition candidate, had 215,761 against 11$,716 for his dry opponent. More complete returns from the gubernatorial race showed Eh ringhaus clinging to an advan tage of from 10,000 to slightly more than 11,000 votes over Foun tain. Reports from 1,717 precin cts gave the Elizabeth City attor ney 177,308 as compared with 165,362 for the lieutenant gover nor. Fletcher Wins For commissioner of labor, Ma jor A. L. Fletcher, of Raleigh, increased his majority over C. E. Mitchell, also of Raleigh. The vote was 162,222 against 102,879 upon the face of returns from 1,544 precincts. In the senatorial contest, the vote tabulated was for the full term beginning March 4. There was little difference in the vote for the short term, running from election lay to March 4, which was sought by the same candi dates. Not to Concedie Although it appeared that the votes still unreported would be insufficient to overturn Ehring haus’s majority, Fountain did not concede defeat. His state man ager, J. L. DeLaney said here today there would be no state ment from the lieutenant gover nor or his headquarters until a full report of the vote had been made. The Fourth of July holiday made it difficult to obtain reports on the primary. In many coun ties election officials were engag ed in holiday activities, and could not be reached. Hyde remained the only county unrepresented in the returns. All officialdom at the county seat, Swan Quarter, was reported as participating in a community picnic. Vigorous Campaign From Asheville, Reynolds an nounced plans for a vigorous campaign in behalf of the Demo cratic party before the November election. He said he would center with the gubernatorial nominee shortly to map out a line or ac tion with a view to insuring vic tory. Opposing Reynolds wili "be Jake Nowell, vet.eran Republican cam paigner, and prohibition advocate. The gubernatorial nominee will face Clifford Frazier, of Green sboro, who was nominated by the Republicans as Newell’s running mate.
