THE POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE t^s OVERLOOKED IN THE CENSUS The President of Pinehur^st. Incorporated and his family; the Solicitor of Moore county and his wife; a former Mayor of Aberdeen and his family, are among others unearthed by The Pilot who have not been listed in the 1940 federal census, des pite the fact that the enumera tion is supposed to have been completed. The Pilot was informed this week that Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tufts had not been called upon by enumerators in Pinehurst, nor had Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Vail. This newspaper is also in 1‘eceipt of the following letter from Abenfeen: “I gave the blank from my Pilot to another family to send in saying the census takers had not been on our hill (Page Hill), but I should also like to say that he hasn't been to my house nor has my cook been seen. Aber deen is small enough, but should like to be numbered among its small population. I shall thank you to see that the proper per son is told so we may be count ed.’ (Signed) — Mrs. Frank Shamburger. Mr. Shamburger is one of Aberdeen's leading citi zens, a former mayor and mem ber of the .school board. W. A. Leland CAN HOW BE made INTO Quf^ny flHISHlHSS.

Headlir*- ing these from the local standpoint will be a renewal of the Burgin-Deane the President and Dewey, and Mr. Roosevelt was favored by 52 per cent. He then asked the same voters to choose between Sec retary Hull and Dewey, and Hull came out on top with 51 per cent. That obviously indicates ^ two things — that Republican r.crap of two years ago, a scrap which then took until late fall to settle. It will be hard fought again, for Deane, though behind in the first primary, is a scrapper and a great vote-getter. And Burgin is pretty well tied up in Washington due to the severity of the international situation. As a member of the Foreign Affairs committee, he i.** needed there.

He would be a certainty, some Republicans think, to sweep the politically vital corn belt^ would carry most of the West, and would have a good chance in the industrial Ea.st. He has few political lia- bilitie.s—the most important be ing that his state is extremely small in population and electoral vote—and his record in the Sen ate has been that of a moderate. He is a factor worth consider ing. The Wendell Willkie drive goes on, and gains force. A few years ago Mr. Willkie was al It won’t be long now until the Republicans and the Democrats meet in more or less solemn con claves to select their 1940 stand ard bearers. And in the mean time a long line-up of political hopefuls, their hearts beating nervously, are working over time in an attempt to convince the voters' the delegates^ and the party machine that they are the logical choice for the num ber one po.sition in the United States. There will be 1,000 delegates to the Republican convention, of whom 96 are now pledged to Dewey, 22 to Hanford MacNider, 18 to Senator Capper and 2 to Senator Taft. (Not all the dele-i most completely unknown to the gates have been selected as yet, public at large—now he is un- so further pledges will be ef fected between now and conven tion time.) There will be 1094 delegates to the Democratic con vention of whom, so flar, the President has 392, Postmaster General Farley 38 1-2, Repre sentative Bankhead 22, and Vice-President Garner 4. In each case, the majority of delegates will be unpledged. And the pledges do not mean a great deal —in most instances, pledged del egates are only duty bound to vote for their candidate on the xjr,«t few ballots, and thereafter consider themselves free to throw their support el.sew’here. The inner New Dealers argue that the President is the logical chbice and the only available Democrat who would be reason ably sure of winning the day. A number of political commenta tors subscribe to that view. At the same time, a very recent Gallup poll throws .something of a monkey wrench into that chain of reasoning. Dr. Gallup asked a cross-section of voters whom they would vote for as between questionably a fir.st-class na tional figure. His many speeches, radio appearances and magazine articles have brought him into the limelight with as tonishing speed. A growing group think him the perfect choice. His liability is lack of a political machine, but that is by no means necessarily fatal. Cy nical political reporters have talked with ’onging of the possi bilities of a Roo.sevelt-Willkie fight. Different as the.se men are in point of view, both are born politicians, both are ideal radio personalities, both know how to play the angles. It would be a great campaign. (So far as the party platforms are concerned, they will probably mean little, and will say next to nothing at great length. Both parties will pledge themselves to stay out of war, to aid the needy and the farmers, to cut govern ment costs If, as and when, and so on. It will be the f'andidates who count, not the T’-indy planks. And it should be a red hot cam paign. of Price I WHT ovt V^CUUN\■PO^ >«jL r-’ ACTION iivnoMlUC front Front of C sffort .
