J if XIII it" I 1 A Election Results Gratifying THE results of the primary held last Saturday bore out the predictions of the wise forecasters and the people of Macon county can congratulate themselves upon the outcome. The affairs of the county will be in safe hands for the next two years. It is a matter of great regret to the majority of our people that our fellow citizen, Guy Houk, failed of election to the state senate, but his own county gave him a rousing majority and he received a splendid vote over the entire district. Jack Morphew, the successful candidate, will make an able senator and will be active in the interest of all the counties he represents. In George Patton, Macon county will have a rep resentative who will be called upon to take a very prominent part .in the proceedings of the assembly. His sane views on all economic questions will make him-extremely valuable as a legislator, and no doubt Macon county people will have reason to feel proud of their representative. Lester Arnold, who won out in the race for reg ister of deeds, has had long experience as deputy in that office, and is familiar with every detail of the work. He is 'affable and accommodating, andrwill ;i4'ive the people safe and satisfactory service. . ; Frank I. Murray, who was nominated as chair man of the board of county commissioners, has held office in the county for many years, and knows, every phase of county affairs. He will be a most valuable man as chairman of the board on account of his ripe experience and acquaintance with con ditions in every section. He will have with him C. L. Blaine and C. A. Bryson, who were renominated as commissioners. These two men have given splen did service during the past two years, and their reelection assures that the people's affairs will be carefully handled. In the state races, Senator Robert R. Reynolds received an overwhelming majority and Congress man Zebulon Weaver was renominated over R. L. Whitmire. The veteran solicitor, John M. Queen, was endorsed for another term. The overwhelming victory of Senator Reynolds suprised even his most optimistic supporters. . Western North Carolina was expected to give him a large majority, but his vott in other parts of the state exceeded the most sanguine hopes of the Senator and his friends. Now that the election is over, it's time to get down to regular business and forget whatever there may have been of rancor or unpleasantness during the campaign. We all have to live together, and everything will be much better if we work together for mutual advancement and well-being. No Room For Terrorism Here HpHE federal government owes it to the people of the United States to make a sweeping, non political investigation of conditions in Jersey City According to -reports -printed in some of the coun try's most reputable newspapers and magazines, a virtual fascist dictatorship has been established there. Two congressmen. who planned to speak there in protest against violations of civil liberties were advised that if they appeared, bloodshed seemed certain. It is also reported that an ominous anti Semitic .movement, almost Hitlerian in its brutal, terroristic methods, has started. ' Irrespective of your political or social principles, there is no room for that sort of thing in a free country. Freedom of speech must be maintained and it must be maintained for those with whom you agree as well as disagree. Selected. . 1 War or peace in Europe largely hinges on the future actions of Konrad Henlein, leader of Czechoslo vakia's Sudeten Germans whose demand for autonomy precipitated a grave international crisis. 2 Tank corps of the Czechoslovakian army called out to quell disorders during recent municipal elections and to resist pos sible German invasion. 3 Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta of Czechoslovakia who held peace conferences wltb Henlein and who has played an important part in shaping foreign policy In the recent crisis.
