Rains Cut Down
Voting In Mid-
Afternoon Hero
Tension And Anxiety
Ran High Throughout
Day; Hundreds Braved
Rain For News
Saturday's primary featured a
lighter vote, and closer races in
some instances than had been pre
viously predicted even by seasoned
political observers. There were
7,303 votes cast in the congres
sional race, for the highest in the
county. The prediction was fur
10,000 votes.
Rain started about noon, and
heavy showers continued through
out the afternoon to cut Hie heavy
vote down.
Bryan Medford, up for re-election
as Register of Deeds led tin
ticket gathering 5,381 votes, for
a majority of 3,624.
Monroe Redden received the
next largest majority in the con
gressional race against Zehulon
Weaver. Mr. Redden's majority
was 2,657.
Tension ran high throughout the
day, and in some instances pre
cinct arguments were frequent, but
officers reported only a few actual
ly struck blows.
Candidates were active all day,
and scores of cars were pressed
into service for all parties. The
veterans had large signs on their
cars, and staged an active cam
paign. Large crowds braved the rain
Saturday night to get the returns
which were given by The Moun
taineer in front of the court house.
The crowd would jam the halls of
the building, or scurry back to
their cars, and when the showers
stopped come back for the latest
news from the score board. The
races moved back and forth dur
ing the early part of ihe nighl.
The first returns came In about 8
o'clock, and by 11 o'clock the ma
jority of precincts had reported.
South Ward came In at 1:00 and at
1:30 Fines Creek reported, leaviiur
only Cataloochce with 8 votes out.
When the staff of The Mountaineer
signed off at 1:30 there were sev
eral hundred waiting for the last
vote to be counted.
C. F Brown, who managed Mon
roe Redden's campaign in Hay
wood said yesterday: "This is to
express my sincere and grateful
appreciation to the Democratic
voters and supporters of Monroe
Reddn in the primary of May 2o.
We not only won a great political
victory but a victory calculated to
further the development and
growth of Haywood county and
Western North Carolina. I would
not tie unmindful of the enthusias
tic support of the veterans of Hay
wood county. 1 feel that time will
prove that you made a wise choice
when you decided to support Mr.
Redden, and I am sure that his
campaign promise to you was in
good faith and will be carried out
in detail. Surely no -one could
have had more loyal supporters
than he, and to every supporter,
1 ay, Thank you."
