New Boxes May Be Needed For Vote In County Still Hold Boxes In Contested Vote Pritchard Contest Of Bailey Elec tion May Cost Cleveland For Primary. 'rise contesting of Senator J. W. Bailey's election by George Prit chard, his defeated Republican riv al, may make this 'ear's primary and election more expensive for Cleveland county ana other North Carolina counties. The official ballot boxes for the twenty-six precincts of Cleveland county are locked and sealed in the ofiice of A. M. Hamrick, clerk of court in the courthouse, having been impounded with the 1.800 bal lot boxes throughout North Cato line. for more than a year. Whether or not these will be available for use in the June pri mary election, is a matter that has caused election boards considerable worry. According to officials, from a careful reading of the law, there is nothing rn prevent the use of other boxes in the primary election. How ever. it is thought that it will be imperative that the official boxes be released in time for use in the fail election. The ballot boxes, as will be re called. were Impounded for the United States senate following a protest of the election of Senator Josiah W. Bailey by the Republi cans. in 1930. Judge J Crawford Biggs, chair man of the state ocard of elec tions. expressed doubt last night as to what the status of the boxes would be. After George M. Pritchard, Re publican who was defeated by Sen ator Bailey, had protested the ele' tion of Bailey the United States .senate appointed a committee to in ! estigate the case. The 1931 general assembly order ed that all ballot boxes used in the ; enatorial election be impounded r.nd held pending instructions from the senate. Since then the boxes Pave been held a waning word from Washington but none has been re ceived. This week Chairman Shortridge Df the senate elections committee reported to the senate that the committee felt the senate should consider Pritchard’s contest. Senator Robinson cf Arkansas the Democratic leader, prevented immediate consideration of a reso lution to that effect when Short - ridge proposed it and the report was placed on the calendar to be considered later. Should the impounded boxes n-1 b; released by the letter part of May it will be necessary to con struct one new box for each pre unct in the county and state.

DePriest Entry Gives Republicans Judge In Primary j Puts One Over On Democrats As Republicans Get Judge At Each Precinct. (Star News Bureau.) Raleigh. April 25.—If the Repub licans of North Carolina didn't “put pne over” on the Democrats In the jJune primary preliminaries dellber jately and designedly, they, or at I least one of their number, did it as effectively and completely as if It had been planned. The Democrats have “one over” on them. George W. DePriest. Shelby, is the only Republican contesting for a State-wide office with the regular nominee of the Republican State convention—Jake T. Newell, Char lotte, the U. S. Senate nomination, i Mr.. DePriest will probably deny that other Republicans put him up to it, or influenced him. But the re sult is that the Republicans will now have a judge of election at every polling place in the State, and all because of Mr. DePriest's candi dacy. If he had not entered, it would have been a Democratic pri mary altogether, with three Demo cratic pollholders. Now Republicans will help officials at a purely Demo cratic primary,1 except for Mr. De Priest's candidacy, in every polling place In the State. There might be county contests among Republicans that would require a Republican judge at every voting place In that county, in a few instances, but Mr. DePriest necessitates them at all precincts. Moreover his presence in the contest will cost fully $2,000 more for ballots. DePriest Says He Will Give Newell Very Warm Contest — If Back-Home Republicans Stick To Him He Believes He Will Win. “If the Republicans back home, those not holding Federal jobs, stick to their guns, the hand-pick ed senatorial candidates of the Re publican machine •will not have at CONTINUED ON PAOE EIGHT. > somebody ought to give Aycock $25, 000, “and put him seriously in the race.” Aycock had entered the con test against Senator Simmons, Gov ernor Kitchin and Chief Justice Clark. He had demanded a primary on the ground that “only a primary would give a poor man a chance before the people of North Caro lina.” Governor Aycock died before the race actually began, but he had relied on his strength before the people to put him ahead of the field. He never tested the poor man's standing with the populace. * Frank Grist is running for the senatorship to test North Carollha’s affection for the poor man Mr. Grist doc> not appe» no be getting all the poor votes But while Mr. Gris* is running as a poor man for the United States senate, Senator Baggett as a poor man is running away from the attorney general Youth Stabbed In Row Among Four Cousins Sunday Burg-in (irigg, Of Un'on Commurv . ity, In Hospital With Serious Chest Wound.
