Stage« Set for Battle of Ballots Saturday; Bailey SimmonsFightFeataring The battle of the ballots will occur next Saturday from sun up to sun-down when North Carolinians will go to the polls to pick their* candidates for ma jor political offices Chief among thom being the plum of United States Senator. In the Democra tic camp the battle of the cen tury will take place when the Jeffersonian disciples will choose between Senator Furnifold M. Simmons and Josiah William Bailey. Although Attorney E. C. James qf this city Is quoted by L. J. Hampton as saying that Simmons men feel assured of victory and that even Bailey nien admit Surry is in the doubt ful column, the Bailey support ers are confident that the Ral eigh attorney will carry Surry by a two-to-one lead. Indeed, the thief primary interest cen ters around the bitter Simrifons- Balley fight. Simmons, who has been in the upper house since 1901 broke with 'AI Smith in 1928 and is accredited with hav ing more to do than any other person of North Carolina going for Hoover. The stand-pat. Dem crats are against the veteran Solon on the ground that a man who desserts his party and gives the enemy cheer, is not deserv ing of party support. The Bailey adherents point to the fact that their leader stump ed the state for the Democrat'** national standard bearer in 192w has bee n loyal throughout- and therefore should supplant Sim mons in th® senate. A check-up of sentiment seems to favor Bailey. The Republicans will go to the polls and take a pick be tween Irvin B. Tucker, of White ville, Major George Butler, of Clinton, Grady Dorsett of Wake Forest and Congressman George Pritchard of Asheville. Although it appears a toss-up between the quartet, the odds favor Tucker. The Republican will vote for only the senatorial candidate in 18 SENIORS ARE GIVEN DIPLOMAS AT SCHOOL FINALS PROP... I. O.
