STRONG SENTIMENT AGAINST SENATOB Reynolds Reduced Over man’s Majority to Small est Number in Latter’s Career of 23 Years. Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Although It is evident, that Sena tor I-ee S. Overman has been re nominated for U. 8. Senator by a good sized majority which may ultimately attain to 50,000 there is food for thought when it becomes apparent that this is the smallest majority ever -polled by Overman. True, -he has been opposed but once before when A. ],. Brooks of Greens boro ran against him in the primary in 1912, but even that is significant, for Overman’s majority then was more than 70.000 out of a total vote cast of only’ 118,000. the face of Saturday’s election, then, it must be increasingly apparent 'that there is’a steadily growing sentiment against the ‘‘Rule of the Blder” as repre sented by Senntor Overman, and to a certain extent, b> Senator Himmons. If patience and a mulberry leaf make a silk gown,' then considerable mul berry is being consumed in the State that eventually will figure in the manufacture of n brand new Sen atorial toga for someone from the Tar Heel state at, a not far distant day—and he will be from a younger line of descent- The first time that the succession of Senntor F, M. Simmons was ever seriously questioned was in 1900, when he was opposed for the Senate by General Julian S. Carr. Senators ' were still elected 1 by the legislature, but at the general primary that year, a separate box wna placed for Democrats on which they were to place a ballot that would act as an indication of their preference to the legislature. This in reality was Jhp first statewide senatorial although it [had no legal status, other than-that.".Uk- legislature was raoraUJf botind to parry out the will of the' voters as expressed in tbht unofficial vote, —-n'r-TTHfnf’lihlMrjif jlj~ 335 for Simmons and-fO&l; ftp- Carr. c • The secopd time that Simmons yas given opposition, was in 1912 iVhen he wns opposed by IV. W. fitchin, who had served 12 years in -ongrecs qnd had just completed a erm as Governor of North Caro- Inn. A third candidate was also in his race. Judge Walter Clark, chief hstice of the State Supreme Court- Former Governor Charles B.

RESULTS ACCRUED TO CROPS AS RESULT OF THE RAINS Rains Were General Over Most of the State Last Week. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June B.—Reports concern ing the benefit that has already ac crued to crops as the result of the rains that were general over most of the state the latter part of lagt'week are already coming into IBf 'depart ment of agriculture, afid farmers have been greatly encouraged as a result. The prediction by the department that the rain was literally worth millions of dollars to the farmers is being am ply borne out. I A farmer in the northwestern Pied mont section writes: “Up until the first week in June it had been ex tremely dry, but since then there hnve been good rains in Forsyth. Surry and Stokes counties and crqps are looking much better. Most of the tobacco has been planted and is ’ doing well and the outlook is most optimistic.” I “The weather the last few days 'lias been most favorable for a good crop,"! writes another farmer from Person .county, in the north central section of the state. “We have had several good rains and oats, rye and wheat are doing well. Cotton is beginning to do better and the tobacco crop looks fine. All we need now is some good warm weather and things will be right all right.” I Fyom Craven county comes the re- j port that tile rain there Friday and Saturday was of great benefit and that although it had been very dry. both cotton and tobacco, which had I been very backward, showed signs of becoming more promising. Farmers in the section are much more optimis- i tic. Down in Stanly county there have 1 been a few showers, but no rains, and the crops there are still in need of a good downpour to put them on a par with the other sections. In Chowan county they have had good rains and the potato crop is benefit tibg greatly, as well as other crops. The rainfall last week was largely cast of the linft drawn southeastward across the state beginning in Ashe county, in the northwest, and on down 1 throngti Wilkps, Yadkin, Henderson, 1 Randolph, Montgomery and Richmond counties. West of this line there ; were only scattered showers. South’s Sugar Cane Crop is Threat-! ened. j (By International News Service) j Tn lahassee, Fia., June B.

These were the facts contained in an article in the current number of the Department of Agriculture bul letin. ' “The sugar cane .fields of North ern Florida are sick.” the article said, “In fact, there is a very severe disease called mosaic, that is spread ing among all the so-called s ‘ribbon’ cane varieties. “While it is largely restricted to Florida, Southern Georgia and Louis iana, it is likely that all of the cane 1 in the South will become infected by the disease," the article declared- j Would Throw Out Clark Contest. | ; Washington, June 8. ——The House was asked today by Ita elec tion committee No. 2 to throw out , the'contest of Don H.

Public Invited To The FormalOpeningOfNew 1 Hotel C oncordThursday I * I POLICEMEN STOOD Ij AT POLLING'PLACES| *' Therefcre Canvassers in Wake Are . Asked to Make a Recount. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June B.—Because police men stood at polling places in Rn i leigli and worked openly in the behalf * of his opponent, as he alleges, W. F. Evans, socilitor in the seventh judi | cinl district, defeated in Saturday’s primary by Leon S. Brassfie’.d, this ’ morming formally presented a peti [ tion asking pile Wake comity board of canvassers* to make a recount of the ballots cast in the election Satur day. Mr. Evans appeared before the board yesterday in person and after ; making a number of eharges of ir regularities, was asked to submit his ’ charges in formal, written petition today. “There were numerous irregulari ties in tile election and I have'Mhe proof, although at this time I cannot reveal all the facts in my possession,l said Mr. Evans in discussing the mat ter today. "Although my opponent 1 had stated that he wanted the elec ! tion to be perfectly fair, when he . was asked at the hearing before the board if he would agree lo a recount, he was opposed to it. So when a man is opimsed to a recount in an election conducted by his own men and machinery, something in it must have been crooked.” The contest between Evans and Brassfield in Raleigh and Wake coun ty, ns well as in Franklin county, was, one of the most bitterly fought political battles in years and numer ous altercations at polling places were reported Saturday. At 3:30 o’clock Sunday morning n fight in an office in t'.ie Lawyers’ building here so frightened the negro janitor that he called the police who found a gory fistic battle in progress in one of the offices there between two supporters of the two candidates for solicitor ship. Ten or twelve men were in the office. The feeling as the wesult of the election had not cooled by Mon day morning w’lien bone crashed against bone as Herbert Gulley, one of the managers of the Evans cam paign, and Ed Hugh Lee, city tax col lector and suporter of Brassfield, par ticipated in a strenuous fistic encount er on Fayetteville street, nearly op posite the- city* Tmll. -vfc .’ Supporters of Evans are very frank and candid in their claims that Brass field and his formes “stole” the elec tion by packing the poles with work l ers and officers who openly sought to influence the voting, and these charges figured in the written peti tion submitted by Evans today, to the Wake county board of canvassers. Evans frill not seek a recount in Franklin county, which gave him ,a majority of about 1.000 votes. In .Wake county, however, Brassfield re ceived a majority of approximately 300 and in Raleigh his majority went 1 to about 900. 1 In setting forth his reasons as to | why a recount should be made, Evans nlleges that the members of tlje police! force in Raleigh worked against him, intimidating voters wherever possible, that there was a large illegal regis tration, that many people voted twice, thnt in one precinct—the eighth—22 negroes voted, and that at another i precinct several voters were under | the influence of liquor.
