club assigned to various commit
tees. A. C. Dawson, Jr., school
superintendent, will be master of
ceremonies.
Rotary-Anns, wives of club
members, will assist with num

Democrats Closk;
To People, Rally
Speakers Assert
Sievenson Telegram
Brings Greetings To
Moore County Event
Republican failure to, under
stand the ndeds and aspirations of
the average man, and, the need
for unswerving loyalty to the
Democratic party were stressed
during the Democratic rally at
Carthage Tuesday night by
speakers who included Lt. Gov.
Luther Hodges, Rep. C. B. Deane
of Rockingham and a number of
members of the Council of State.
The lieutenant governor, mak
ing the main address at the court
house assembly that followed a
dinner at the Carthage hotel, sees
the nation in a “trend caused by
deep disappointment at what’s
happened in the last 20 months.
For the good of the state, for the
good of the nation and in relation
to other peoples of the world, we
need a change,” he said. “The en
tire program of the Democratic
party has tried to think in terms
cl what is best for the people. The
Republican party has never been
close enough to the people to
know what they felt or what they
want. Only in times of crisis have
they slipped back into power.
“The Republican party has no
monopoly on integrity and pa
triotism,” he continued, “We’ve
learned our lesson in voting for
personalities.”
Lt. Gov. Hodges pointed out
that in 1932 there were o-ver 100,-
000 registered and voting Com
munists in the United States—a
number that had dwindled to less
than 25,000 in 1952—“and all the
top leaders of the Communists
had been convicted.” .
Rep. Deane, who paid tribute
to the faithful service of his as
sistant, John A. Lang, Jr., of Car
thage, said he has had a ringside
seat in watching the current Re
publican administration.
He pointed out that four states.
New York, Pennsylvania, Michi
gan and Illinois now have the
chairmanships of the major com
mittees of House and Senate, but
that a Democratic Congress would
turn over three-quarters of these
chairmanships to the South and
West. He stressed the Democratic
support given to President Eisen
hower on important legislation
and pointed out the hardship that
the administration’s “hard
money” policy has imposed on
home buyers and small business
men.
Presiding at the rally were W.
Lament Brown, chairman of the
Moore County Democratic Execu
tive Committee, and Voit Gil
more, president of the county’s
Young Democrats. Introduced and
speaking briefly were members
Of the Council of State—whom
the chairmen lauded for attend
ing a rally at the county level—
including Edwin Gill, state treas
urer; Frank Crane, commissioner
of labor; Charles (lold, insurance
commissioner; Henry Bridges

Eugene Turman of West South

was destroyed by fire last Satur

ness of a number of local organi
zations and individuals.

the attention of organizations that
could help and a radio appeal over
