Be Received On

lu an effort to get more people
out to the polls in November, the
[ Waynesyille Junior Chamber of
I Corrmteree ts sponsoring free'tele
vision of the Democratic conven
tion, which is taking place now in
Chicago.
The Jaycees, in cooperation with
the Waynesville Radio Service, has
set up a 17-inch table model tele
vision receiver in the courthouse.
The set will be placed in use for
the first time Monday night, the
first evening of the convention ac
tivities.
Although reception will be at
tempted during 'the day. it will
probably not be satisfactory be
cause of electrical interference
from the business district. As a
matter of fact, good reception at
night will not be guaranteed, al
though the Jaycees and the Way
nesville Radio Service will do then
best to make good seeing possible
In trying to stimulate more peo
ple to show an interest in voting,
the Jaycees have pointed oul that
in 1880. 78.4 per cent of the nation
voted. In 1950 it had dropped to
44 per cent. This year, the national
Jaycees are seeking an 80 per cent
turn-out. If this happens, then
76 million people will go to the
polls.
The public is invited to witne,
the Democratic national convention
on television daily or nightly at the
courthouse.
Democrats Set
Probable Schedule
For Convention
The Xtonal Democratic Conven
tion. which opened at noon today,
will offer a much livelier and vari
ed program than did the Repub
licans. At least that's the way most
newsmen covering the sessions
think.
Tonight at 8 o'clock, a short time
after the convention is called to or
der for its first meeting. Gov Paul
A. Dover of Massachusetts will de
liver the keynote address. Gov.
Adlai Stevenson and Senator Paul
Douglas, both Illinoisans, were
scheduled to address the delegates
this afternoon.
The convention itself opened to
day at 11:30 a. m. Eastern Standard
Hime. Other day sessions will start
at noon. All evening sessions will
begin at 8 p. m.
The Credentials Committee, the
group that decides conflicting
claims to delegate seats, will report
i's decision in the Mississippi and
Texas contests at the third session
on Tuesday Simply stated, the con
tests are between anti-administra
tion or "States Right^" groups on
one side and party loyalists on the
other. A convention vote in these
contests should show the strength

Richard Queen, an alternate at
the Demuncratic National Conven
tion. predicted just before he left
Saturday, "It now looks like Tru
man and Russell, or Truman and
Barkley. Don't count Mr. Truman
out, yet."
Mr. Queen made the correct pre
diction that former Congressman
Robert L. Doughton would be nam
ed Sunday niRht as national com
mitteeman to sucrced Jonathan
Daniels, and that Mrs. Everette
would succeed Miss Beatrice Cobb
as n a I i o n a I committeewoman.
Neither Daniels or Miss Cobb
sought re-election.
The Tar Heels held their caucas
Sunday night and named former
Governor Cameron Morrison as
chairman of the North Carolina
delegation?a post which is usually
accorded the governor of the state.
Before leaving here Saturday,
Mr. Queen pointed out that the
Democrats of the 12th district were
the first to endorse Mr. Truman,
and similar action was taken by
the state Democratic convention.
Going with Mr. Queen and Mr.
