DISTRIBUTOR. REO SALES & SERVICE CURTISS MOTOR CO. Asheville, N. C. JUST A JOKE The candidates are listing contributions and ex penses these days ... as per the silly law which requires it . . . and in most instances these statements are just one huge joke, son. Then why have the law? Well, just our love for humbuggery, perhaps, but it stinks to high heaven! Kerr Scolt said last week that his total contributions have totaled $7, 241.65, with expenditures, $6. 832.09. Perhaps that's all he knows about . . . though this hardly seems possible ... so just put it down as more political tomfoolery, The same . . . and more . . . goes for Charles M. Johnson, who lists $8,078 in contributions and $8, 015.86 spent. Wow! It's all in the game, so please excuse both of them. It would be safe to say that around $500,000 has been spent for candidates for State offices since Christmas.

A Distinguished Record Of Leadership Speaks For Itself To The Farmers Of North Carolina f j m S : J (I I) FORMER GOVERNOR 3. MEILraLILIE IBIH10)TU(SIHI,H,M CANDIDATE FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE As Governor, Legislator and Public Servant, Former Governor Broughton Took An Active Part in the Accomplishment of These Progressive Measures for the Former: Former Governor Broughton has been engaged actively in farming for over twenty-five years and is " himself a flue-cured tobacco grower. J Mr. Broughton has been active in securing better prices for tobacco. In October, 1 94.1. while he was " Clovernor when the price for tobacco collapsed, he declared a marketing holiday and kept the mar kets closed until he was successful in working out plans for better prices and a stabilized market. In 1945 he personally appeared before officials of the Office of Price Administralion insisting on an increase in the ceiling price for tobacco. The increase was granted which meant more than 10 million dollars to the growers of tobacco. In 1946 he appeared before the proper government agencies insisting that ceil ing prices and allocations on tobacco be abolished. This was done and meant millions of dollars to the growers. 5 He has long been a member of the Farm Bureau and Stale Grange and has probably spoken to more farmers in farm meetings than any person in the State. He delivered one of the principal addresses at the annual meeting of the National Grange at Grand Rapids, Michigan in i 944. He appeared on ths program of the National Farm Bureau meeting at San Francisco in December, 1946. 4 Mr. Broughton was instrumental in establishing the Flue-Cured Tobacco Stabilization Corporation which has meant many millions of dollars in increased income to farmers. He prepared the charter and by-laws for this organization and has worked closely with the organization since its establishment. Mr. Broughton in 1947 drafted the legislation authorizing the establishment of Tobacco Associates, Inc., and prepared the charter and by-laws for the organization. Tobacco Associates is proving to be of great benefit to tobacco growers in the European Recovery Program and the continuation of satisfactory Fed eral farm legislation for tobacco. Mr. Broughton has been actively connected with the dairy industry of the State. While he was Gov ernpr he approved the program and procured the allocation of funds to set up at State College the best dairy equipment for institutional purposes to be found in any institution of the South. t Mr. Broughton has shown great interest in other agricultural crops produced in North Carolina, such as cotton, peanuts, and fruits and vegetables. He collaborated with State Marketing Specialists in draft ing the Commodity Referendum Act passed by the 1947 General Assembly under which farmers may act jointly with dealers and processors in promoting the sale, distribution and consumption of farm prod uct. At the present time he is advocating the establishment of processing plants for Irish potatoes to place potato-growing on a sounder and more profitable basis in North Carolina. ON THE BASIS OF THIS RECORD J. MELVILLE BROUGHTON MERITS YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT FOR UNITED STATES SENATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY MAY 29 Ibis Advertisement paid tor by Bryan Medtord, Haywood manager for Mr. Broughton.
