Texas, which weht republican In 1928 for the first time since recon struction days, took action through the state democratic committee bar ring as sate candidates c / locrats who voted for Hoover. Like Ala bama the democratic party welcom ed back all such voters. In contrast the Democratic party in Tennessee has Invited back to the fold and promised t receive with open arms both as candidates and voters who supported Hoover. Tennessee In going for Hoover re peated its republican action In 1920. Kentucky democrat* have cordial ly Invited back into the party J*.ose members who strayed In 1928. Virginia, first of the southern states carried by Hoover to hold a state election, went democratic last fall by a record majority of 70,000 One year previously it had gone for Hoover by 14,000. Before the state election the democratic exe cutive committee had obtained from the attorney general an official opinion that persons who voted for Hoover were not barred from par ticipation in the state party pri mary. No definite stand has been taken by the party organization in North Carolina toward democrats who sup ported Hoover. The republican presidential nominee carried the state by 61,000, No Action In Florida. The state executive committee in Florida took no action on the sub ject. The sentiment of the leaders appeared to be that democrats ate not going to do anything to help the republicans capitalize their vic tory In 1928. Before the committee met state attorney general Fred H. Davis in an official opinion said that if the letter of the law was observed bolters would not be per mitted to participate as candidates In the democratic primary. South Carolina, Georgia Missis sippi, and Louisiana all went tor 8mith and no movement has been started affecting members of the party who voted for Hoover.

CIB ttloal NawarMf Hamblin’Bill Js Carious About Hard Times And Why They Are Poor Starving To Death In Arizona Near Hotel Where Millionaires Stay. Mister Editor: You have always been very kind to me in the past by getting The Star to me in vailous places throughout this "Jew 'Nited States and also, you have sent it to me in Texas, California and other* foreign countries, and I am going to ask that you broadcast the fact to your many readers that 1 would like some kind spirited Tt Heel folk's to send me a side of meat, some homemade molasses, and perhaps, a shoulder of meat, or ham. I am away out here in this baby state of Arizona enjoying Hoover prosper ity, by eating one meat a day, and I want to fatten uo myself and kids, for the long walk back to North Carolina. I read where they are closing a few banks in North and South Car olina, but that alnt nothing to what is happening one here. All public works are laying off their help and many .businesses are Ju t operating on a shoestring. Most of the people have sold their Canary’ birds to enable them to wire home for money. And, would you believe it? More tourists are arriving every day. We have here a great hotel known as the "Westward Ho’ I am told that they pay as high as one hun dred dollars per day for a room there. I have never slopped at this hostelry, but have been within a few hundred yards of it and glanc ed at it sort of shy like, because T hear they charge you ten dollv.s for looking at the building from the distance. And the contrast is, just a few blocks from this g.gantlc struc ture there are people slowly starv ing to death. They are all tourists In fact, most everybody that comer here are health seeking tourists. I talked with a fellow the other day that had become stranded he.e on his way back from California. He was originally from Vermont and loud in his praise for Mr. Hoo ver and Mr. Coolidge. 1 pretended to be ignorant of who Hoover and Coolidge were and let him rave along for awhile. He seem to sym pathize with me in my ignorance of things, and told me that we were enjoying the greatest prosperity wave since the war. He admitted that he had voted for Coolldge and that he had voted for Hoover also and that he was a confirmed Re publican. I got pretty warm under the collar and told him: “Mister, you admit that you are a confirmed Republican, which I will admit is your own business and privilege, but you have Just told me that you are stranded and that you are trying to find employment to get back on your feet and to get back to your native state. Now X want to state that you have Just about as much chance of finding any kind of decent work here, or anywhere else in the southwest as an elephant has to roast on trees, or a fish to fly. A few years agi they were begging for men—al' kinds of men and wages were good, but we have been under Repub'i can strain for the past ten vea*-$ and that is enough to a erfc any ! country regardless of how prosper- j ous it may be. It's all i ght for ! man to vote the Repuhhean tr ue* j once or twice, then ac nowlrd~e h: sins and repent of them, but 'nr a full grown m-m. seemingly Intel li gent and well educated like you. self to admit that he has mud ( * this mistake all his life, and indi cate that he is going to continue making it, and then as much as to try to make me believe that the country is prosperous-why mister I ought to thresh you like a child, ’ and I knocked his pie out of his mouth, tipped my hat to him, and bid him a pleasant "good morning' and came on home to my Hoover meal of beans and water and a half of a cold biscuit that I got out of the garbage can. The wife and kids went out the other day and gathered some "Wi'd Donkey Grass" _ that looked ilk • mustard greens.’ We rooked up a batch of it and have been braying ever since. Just a few more weeks of tills Hoover regime of prosperity and we will all be able to glide back (c North Carolina on some toy ba loons—we will be that thin. Anybody that needs to reduce In weight fast—they can come here and miracles will be worked In a short time—that is if they expect to earn their own living I used to kick if I did not get four meals every day in North Car olina. Now I feel lucky If I get one good meal a week. We have for gotten what fresh beef tastes like and a pound of fresh country but ter would look like v whole ton o.' alfalfa hay would look to a hungry mule. Don’t forget the meat and mo lasses folks because we are getting pretty thin, as well as weak in the knees. Hoover is a wonderful president. He can make ’em be'leve they are having ’prosperity when they are almost starving. But he has not fooled us—we know that we arc starving by degrees, and unless w; get a Democrat in the White Home by 1932 and some Democratic con gressmen in Washington before that date, we will have done gone and starved to death, and there won't be enough left of us to bother with having a funeral. My wife used to take reducing ex ercises at five dollars per lesson. Now she is trying to preserve her weight. She has lost almost 150 lbs. in the last few weeks In another week or so she will be down to al most normal. The children used to grow so fast we could not keep new clothing large enough for them Now we can take either one of their garments and make a gar ment for all of them—they are ao thin. This is Millionaire Prosperity Week in the U. S. A. an d Hoover is fishing off the Florida coast. The poor get poorer and tire rich get richer and the working man gets less, while they spend fifteen mil lion trying to enforce a law that can never be enforced. Sincerely, RAMBLING BILL.

Star Advertising Pays Two Catawba Men In Race For Judge (CONTINUED FROM PADS ONE! ory Records says editorially: “Catawba county has two candi dates for superior court Judge in this district, subject to the demo cratic primary. They are running at a time when Catawba county has an excellent chance to supply an able man to the North Carolina Ju diciary. “But it is a generally recognized fact that with both Wilson War lick and Marshall Yount In the field together, Catawba county runs a serious risk of losing the Judge ship altogether. “This does not mean that either of tlie attorneys is in any way an illogical candidate. It does mean that political expediency would best be served by united support from Catawba county to one candidate, who might easily be either of these two splendid men. “The rerson for this is not so much the effect the rival candidacy will have upon Catawba county's vote, but the undesirable effect It will have upon the vote In other counties. Lincoln has A. L. Qutckei, a popular and well known attorney, in the race, while Shelby’s contri bution is none other then B. T. Palls. The Daily Record Is confi dent that with solid primary sup port to one of her candidates, Ca tawba could see him defeat either Mr. Quickel or Mr. Palls handily. But with this county's sifpport di vided in the primary, the other counties will have a tendency to more or less subconsciously figure this way: ' "If they caqft get together on one man in Catawba we'd better vote for somebody else. "Then, too, there Is this consider ation. With the county bar divided in their pledges of allegiance, on highly effective campaigning for a Catawba man can be done by local lawyers in other counties. After the primary the support of his defeat ed rival would not be of anything like as great benefit to the nom inated candidate in the election it self.’’ 41 Homicides In State Last Month Raleigh. — Forty-one homicides and 24 suicides occurred in North Carolina last month, according to the January report of the bureau of vital statistics of the state board of health. None of the 53 killed in au tomobile accidents, long the state’s leading cause of violent death, were Included in the 41 homicides. Six of the 53 automobile fatalities met death when trains hit automobiles at grade crossings. A total of 40 were burned to death in the stats in January, the report continues. Twelve were kill ed in railroad accidents. Accidental gunshot wounds, the majority a bi-product of the hunt ing season, caused the death of 22. Two others died from gunshot wounds of a doubtful nature: they may have been accidents, homicides or suicides. Five people drowned. Talking About A New High School In City Shelby Ahead In Many Things Does Not Measure Up in Schools, Says One. The drive for a new high school building In Shelby has drawn the following comment from North Carolina newspapers: Raleigh News and Observer— "Shelby la moving for a modern high school building. Hon. Clyde Hoey making the prin \oal spee ch rt a big mass meeting. Ahead of many things, Shelby has not kept pace with neighbor towns In this respect. R. R. Clark in Greensboro News —“It is estimated that Shelby smokers spend $78,000 annually for cigarettes. The estimate is made by the promoters of a proposed ex penditure of $300,000 for a school building, who are saying that a town spending more than three fourths of $100,000 annually on smokes shouldn't balk at a $300, 000 school building, considering what a school building is and what smokers are not. But smokers think they must smoke and many of them don't feel the same urge to put up for a school building that calls for smokes. Assuming that the Sltelby folks are same as the average run.” Now, Honest Woman. Salisbury.—'That ancient, time worm, moth-eaten, (Simmons, the the thesaurus) “lead" to a newspa per story, in re one Diogenes and his Illuminated hunt for an honest man, had a new angle here. Th" honest one was a woman, of cola-, at that. She drove into a local fill ing station, ordered gas, passed over a large bill, received change, de parted. Minutes later she was back. Six or eight blocks away, she sail, she’d found $5 too much money in her change. She had brought it back. Malt Succeeds Corn.
