FACE EIGHT THE FRANKLIN PRESS mi THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, IMS FIRST STRAW VOTE RETURNS (Continued from Pag Om) cation of a national tabulation. The non-partisan poll on Presi dential candidates for 1936 looms larger and of more importance each week, as the balloting gets into full swing. Whereas The Press-Maconian, together with some 2,000 other newspapers throughout the coun try, originally agreed to conduct the "Our Next President Poll," the idea has caught on in a big way, and the field has been widened un til the final nation-wide tabulation of the vote gives promise of be ing the most representative small town and rural America expression of political preference ever com piled preceding major party con ventions and the final election of a President. The American Press magazine, speaking to its newspaper publisher subscribers, in the October issue just released, has invited all of them to join in the poll with their newspapers, their ballots to be tabulated and included in the final nation-wide count. Inasmuch as the idea for the nation-wide poll received the over whelming approval of the original 2,000 newspapers now conducting the "Our Next President Poll," it is not amiss to estimate that be tween 4,000 and 5,000 newspapers will be included and help conduct the poll before its completion. Voting Open To All The "Our Next President Poll" is non-partisan and does not, in any manner, politically commit the voter. To vote is only to register an expression of the political pref erence of the individual voter. In effect this, "Our Next Presi-. dent Poll," is a nation-wide direct primary of the presidential prefer ences of the individual voters.. Its value may easily be more far-reaching than imagined, in that the poll is rapidly developing such extensive nation-wide scope that party lead ers might well take heed and see to it that convention nominations are in line with the voters' choices. Have you cast your ballot yet, Mr. Reader? If not why not join in this poll by clipping, voting and mailing the ballot printed below? It will take but a moment of your time and the vote will help this newspaper tell other voters through out the country who we here in North Carolina want as our presi dential candidates next year.

Mrs. Hall, how ever, plugged steadily along until the end, making subscriptions grow where none grew before, and emerged a triumphant winner. Two weeks after the campaign had started she thought she had "worked out" Highlands; but per sistent effort resulted in still more subscriptions. As a result this newspaper's circulation in High lands increased five-fold, and the publisher doubts if there are over half a dozen houses in that town ship where The Press-Maconian is not received. Winner fkiiking House Mrs. Hall is the wife of Jack Hall, builder and contractor. They have been building an attractive new home, but have not quite com pleted it. Now Mrs. Hall is con templating the finishing touches and planning just how she will spend her prize money on new furnishings. After announcement of the final standings the judges complimented Mr. Bain on his fair and efficient handling of the campaign, one of them remarking: "I looked over those records carefully and I want to say that this is the cleanest, squarest news paper contest I have known any thing about." Enjoyed the Work The contestants themselves seem ed to enjoy the work. One of them has written the publisher: "Thank you very much for this nice check It seems 'easy money,' as I enjoyed the work so much and everybody was lovely to me." From another comes this com ment: "Although I am glad the contest is over, I can truthfully say I have neyer had so much pleasure earning $ before, and certain ly not ever so much excitement."

FEDERAL SUPREMACY ESTABLISHED For 67 years, from 1798 until 1865, the Constitution of the Unit ed States remained unchanged by amendment, although the powers of the Federal Government were immensely expanded during' that period by judicial interpretation, the decision of the Supreme Court in the "Dred Scott Case" that in directly brought about the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, though not until a Civil War had been fought over the basic issue of states' rights versus Federal rights. The subject of Negro slavery had been considered in the Consti tution from the beginning. Slaves were to be counted as only three fifths of their number, in appor tioning seats in Congress to the states where slavery prevailed. The further importation of slaves after the year of 1808 was forbidden to all states, and the Federal Govern ment was empowered to lay a tax of ten dollars a head upon all slaves imported before the end of that year. As the new nation began its task of cutting up the western lands into new states, the question wheth er slavery should be permitted in them became an acute issue. Un der the Missouri Compromise of 1820, slave-holding was permitted in 'the new state A Missouri, but thereafter prohibited in any other state that might be created out of the territory of the Louisiana Pur chase, or in any state lying north of Missouri. But in 1854 Congress, in setting up the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, provided that the residents of those territories might vote upon the question of slavery. This fanned the fire of anti slavery agitation in the North, which burst into flames after the decision rendered by Chief Justice Taney of the Supreme Court, in 1857, that the Southern owner of a CLOTHING GIFTS ASKED BY GUILD Needlework Guild Plan ning Anniversary Drive For Members The Needlework Guild of Ameri ca, which this year is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its founding, has announced plans for a membership drive next week. Oc tober 6-13. Taking part in this campaign for new members, the Franklin chap ter, through its president, Mrs. T. J. Johnston, this week issued an appeal for the donation of new garments or money for the deserv ing needy. All that is required to become a member of the guild, which sometimes is called "the Or ganization of the Understanding Heart," is the gift, once a year, of two new garments (for men, wom en or children) household linen, or a sum of money. The articles of clothing and lin en collected or bought by the guild with cash donations are distribut- ed amo poor. In eel of its golden an- niversa guild this year hopes greatly i crease its membership and thereby to do greater work among those in need of clothing. A circular letter sent out by the guild states: "If you are a member, communi cate with your director, telling her how many new members you will secure as a birthday present for the guild. If you are not enrolled, please consider this a personal in vitation to join.

The Court held that slaves were recognized as property, and were not citizens, and that the Missouri Compromise, prohibiting the owner ship of slaves north of Missouri, was unconstitutional. The bitterness between the North and the South which this decision crystallized precipitated the deter mination of Southern political lead ers to withdraw from the Federal Union, which South Carolina first, then ten other Southern states, un- , dertook to do in 1861. The choice of the Federal Government was between recognizing the right to secede, or of preventing the seces sion by force. The decision was for the latter course. Four bloody years of war ended with the defeat of the Southern armies, and the downfall of toe political theory of state supremacy. The Federal Government had estab lished itself as the supreme power. Immediately upon the end of the war, the 13th amendment of the Constitution, forever abolishing slavery anywhere in the United States, was submitted to the states and promptly ratified. Three years later, in 1868, the 14th amendment was ratified, giving to Negroes equal citizenship rights with Whites, and entitling them to be counted in full in determining state repre sentation. The same amendment repudiated all liability of the Fed eral Government for debts incurred by the states which had seceded. Two years later, in 1870, came the 15th amendment, guaranteeing the rights of citizens to vote, regard less of race, colqpf or previous con ditions of servitude.
