Woodhouse of the Uni versity political science department and other Democratic leaders of the sixth Congressional district plan to call a rally in protest to the method of nomination of Carl T. Durham of Chapel Hill to take the place of Judge ' Lewis E. Teague who died last Thurs day. The call will be issued later in the week for a meeting either the last of this week or the first of next. Gra ham courthouse has been tentatively set for the meeting place. CHARGES MADE Charging that dictatorship and such high handed measures were used by the district committee in its selec tion of a candidate, no matter how able the man chosen, Dr. Woodhouse yesterday issued a statement that the 15,700 votes cast for Oscar G. Bar ker of Durham, in a runoff primary , with Teague could not be disregarded. Hearing last night of the protest meeting Carl T. Durham, committee nominee, said that he had not sought the office and that as this was a free democratic country he had no objec tion to any sort of meeting being held in the district. When questioned last night O. J. Coffin, Orange county committee member and head of the University journalism department, said, "I am willing to let the action of the com mittee speak for itself. The question of a candidate was before the district committee, now it is before the voters. In regard to Dr. Woodhouse's state ment his only comment was that he was sorry to have given Einstein or Dr. Henderson any disquiet but that Euclid was welcome to any torment, and the same went double for Pytha goras. TEXT OF STATEMENT Text of Dr. Woodhouse's statement is: "A new method of counting ballots has come into the United States and arisen apparently in staid old North Carolina, for those who put it for ward have not as yet given word of any outside source of aid for their discovery. In short it is a method by which FOUR voters, or perhaps even a majority of them, may outvote nearly 16,000 voters and "nominate" or "elect" or "dictate" a representa tive in the Congress of the United States. "This is truly a great mathematical advance.- Einstein and Dr. Archibald Henderson will turn green with envy because this makes their theory of relativity look so simple, easy and lacking in results. "Euclid will turn over in his grave and cry out, "Oh why did I ever in vent or disclose my poor geometry and leave it in the world to be dis credited by this amazing and stupen dous system of these three or four great Olympians sitting in Greensboro on October 31 and November 1, 1938. "Magic, you ask. No. There is no magic in section 6053 of the code of North Carolina but under it they did just what is described above. DONT BE SILLY "Did the Big Four consult anyone else? Don't be silly! Demigods and dictators don't have to, ask anyone, even about how thousands of voters would vote for someone who has never been before those thousands of vot ers. "Some of us in our trustful ignor ance went before the high and mighty Quadrumvirate in Greensboro and they benignly and patiently lis (Continued on last page) , Help Wanted! x Thirty WCUNC sophomores, who have been invited by the sophomore cabinet of the YMCA to the VPI game Saturday, are without dates.
