THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 21 SUBSTITUTION REFUSED S **> "t / T/v. j£& 1 /'£. WWITfoMW JONFfi ,^d CAPITAL REPORTER State Treasurer Brandon Hodges has come up with a novel excuse for the $32,500 000 general fund bond issue not getting a lower in terest rate than the 1.41 V\ per cent they did last week. He blames it on the telephone strike across the na tion says members of the buy ing syndicate could not get in touch with each other for last minute conferences.

Mrs. Harold Greene spoke of the need in Latin America, and Mrs. Kermit Combs was low man on the regular bal lot but was saved from being low Democrat by the fact that Jeff Johnson, Clinton lawyer who was named Supreme Court Justice nominee at the last minute, got fewer votes. So-called political ex perts say Johnson would have got ten more votes, and probably would have topped Smith, if his name had not been on a separate ballot. Meantime, over the country both Democrat and Republican party stalwarts were distrubed by one thing. It seems more and more people are voting for the man, ra ther than the party.
