Jonas Howl About Voting Fraud In District Brings Hot Denial From Election Board Officials icoKTtwmsD. «ioM p»o* on* i In which I was defeated by Mai A L. Bulw.inkle, I do feel that the citi zens of this district would not stand by and see j congressman take his seat if Investigations revealed that he had gained that sent with the assistance of election frauds,” Mr. Jonas said In beginning his state ment. "A member of the committee headed by Senator Nye and charg ed with the duty of investigating re ported election Irregularities went so far as to tell me that In his opinion the voting an delection conditions in North Carolina had those In Pennsylvania stood aside,” Mr. Jonas Is quoted as saying. No Need For Corruption. “The democrats of North Caroline, can carry the state without resort ing to such practices as they have," j he said. “They could have carried It. In November without, doing the things they did However, If they don't call a halt, quit their unfair play, and follow the election laws, the thing is going to turn turnin'-1 then soon or later, and It will be possible to carry the state against them,” A chorus o' denials and verbal swings at the representative greet ed fils statement. “I don’t think there Is anything to Mr. Jonas' charge,” Major Bul winkle replied last night. "If any election ever was fair, I think this last one was Both sides watched It very closely.” The major added that he would have no conscientious scruples against taking his seat next March 4. Same Old Story. "Just the same old republican habit—run tor an office, get bent,, and then holler that the democrats stole the election,” declared B, Lee Seteer, chairman of the board of elections of Catawba county. “Let Mr. Janas come up here. I will give him any Information he wants about our election. There wasn’t any fraud up here. The democrats wen the election fairly. Charlie’s Just mad because he got beat, that’s a!’ ” Mull Denies Charges. John P. Mull. Bhelby, chairman of the board of elections of Cleveland county, denied that fraud or elec tion irregularities had been practic ed in his county. Of the approxi mately 7,700 ballots cast in the sen atorial contest In November, said Mr. Mull, only about 300 were ab sentee ballots and the majority for Bulwinkle, according to his recol lection, was 2,491 In Cleveland. "The republicans had two precinct Judges arrested, but they nol pressed the case against one before It came to trial, and at the suggestion of the republican who had caused the ar rest, and the the other man was dis missed by the recorder,” Mr. Mull declared. He said a Nye agent appeared In his county also a few days before the election. No charges of fraud were made by anyone before the canvassing beard after the returns had been counted, Mr. Mull said.

Gardner’s Plan Appears Popular (CONTINUED PROM PAOE ONE 1 tlty buying and by getting a low bid or price for the entire lot." Local business men take the same view. NO big business, they say, no matter how many units It may have, oermlts a half dozen organizations t,o scatter around to do Its pur chasing. It Is the Idea, those fav oring the plan say, of taking co operative buying Into governmental affairs. If a group of farmers can band together and save money by purchasing fertilizer or other neces sities In wholesale lots, why cannot the state, with Its many Institutions and departments, do the same thing? Representative Edwards said that slnon the proposal had been ad vanced he had talked with several salesmen who have sold goods to or have called on purcha-lng agents at a number of state institutions. “What they told me," he said, "was enough to convince me of the soundness and wisdom of the plan even If I had been opposed to It at first" Leave Tuesday. Senator McSwaln and Represen tative Edwards Will leave Shelby for Raleigh next Tuesday to be on hand for the opening of the general as sembly on Wednesday morning. In view of numerous reforms suggest ed by Governor Gardner and other legislation to come up they believe it wll! be one of the most important sessions in years. Many citizens have expressed the wish that the proponed bill to have the state take over and maintain all county highway’s would go through. An estimate made by some has It that the proposed plan would cut taxes on property on the aver age of 25 cents In all townships of Cleveland county. To do so the state would have to add a one cent tax to gasoline. It is satd. but sup porters of the movement declare that the one-cent tax would be far more pleasant than the present road tax. which varies In the sev eral townships. No property-owner, they contend, could do other than favor the plan, because many mot orists without property do not do their share to maintain the roads and the extra cent would come from all motorists, or those who ire the roads instead of from property owners entirely. ,7irst Rapt’st H^los Five Hundred People Ei.rliteeii Hundred Articles Of Wear Given Oat. 15 Helped Ones In Sunday School. One hundred families, aggregat ing 500 people, have been helped so far by the First Baptist church In the dispensation of charity, accord ing to a report made yesterday by the pastor. Dr. Zeno Wall, to the county welfare department. Pack ages of groceries including meal, flour, canned goods .sugar, etc.. gl\ en to these families number 250 to date. Fifteen people from families j helped by the charity of this church were in Sunday school lost Sunday, according to Dr. Wall. The Baptist church is keeping in touch with the welfare department and reporting the cases helped In order that there might be no dupli cation or overlapping. Charity work on the part of the church is going right along and will continue until the winter has abated. There axe enough deserving cases to justify *.n organizations doing a part, says Dr Wall, hut all outside help should be reported to the county welfare de partment.
