Reply To The So-Called
“Loyal Democrats”
In reply to a certain meeting which was held at East
side School house on Friday, October 5th, 1928, called “Anti
Smith Organization” I wish to say I was not invited to the
said meeting, neither did I hear about it until it appeared in
the Cleveland Star. I was not responsible for anything that
was done at the said meeting.
Now, as to the comment that appeared in Monday’s Star
from a group of “Loyal Democrats” that felt a little timid
to give their names to the voters of Cleveland county, after
investigating 1 received information from the*editor of The
Star that the grout' of “Loyal Democrats” was composed of
two young men, one employed in the office at the Cloth mill
in Shelby and the other working for some gas or oil company.
Can the Democratic voters of Cleveland County read be
tween the lines? I hope so.
Now as a citizen of Cleveland County and one who has
never voted a Republican ticket or any other than a Demo
cratic ticket in my life, yet these so called "Loyal Demo
crats” insinuated in their comment that I was a Hoover
man or a Republican. It appears that some “Rig Boy” has
got hold of them. This is not the first rumor the “Big
Roys” have sent out. Some have gone so far as to say they
heard that Joe E, Blanton voted for Hoover in 1928, but for
tunately there is no truth in this rumor.
I produce one who testifies to the truth pertainipg to my
vote my witness. Mr. J. L. Smith, judge of Box No. 1, Shel
by, N. C.
JOE E. BLANTON.
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify that Joe E. Blanton and family came
in to Box No. 1 in 1928 and they all voted the Democratic
ticket straight to the President box and did not vote in it
at all.
J. L. SMITH. Registrar,
No. 1 Precinct, No. 6 Township.

‘Trn From Missouri”
Author Death Victim
Columbia. Mo. Authorship or
Missouri's 'Show me1' slogan was
generally attributed to Will lard D
Vandiver, former Congressman, who;
died here Monday at the age of 78
The late Speaker Champ Clark
credited Vandiver with originating
the expression in an Impromptu hu
rnoious address, as a Congressman
before the Five O'clock club in Phil
adelphia In 1890
"I come from the country that
raises corn, cotton, eockleburs and
Democrat" Vandiver said tn the
address “I'm from Missouri and
you've got to show me
Others had been ciedited with
authorship of the expression, but s
national magazine approved the
Vandiver version as correct after an
inquiry.

W. S. BEAM STILL IN THE RACE FOR
COUNTY SOLICITOR
We wish to state that W. S. Beam is still In the race
for County Solicitor and the fact that he is in the Shelby
Hospital through no fault of his own, onuses us to write this
—and should and wil cause his friends to work the harder
for him.
We are writing to tell the voters of this good County
that W. S. Beam was not drunk at all, that he has not drunk
whiskey for more than two years.
Recently he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown—
he did not want to neglect his work but chose to stay by it,
that necessitated his taking a sedative and after taking such
for several days the reaction, together with his already
badly depleted condition, was too much for him. These facts
are known to his friends and may be ascertained by all. He
is a very sick man now, and all the while he was very anx
ious to be his party’s nominee for Solicitor. He should be
better soon but not. in time to participate actively in this
campaign but his friends and supporters may yet aid ma
teriality’ in helping him attain his one great ambition—that
of serving his County as Solicitor after waging a successful
campaign—he is handicapped now and his friends and sup
porters must carry on for him. He will greatly thank you.

ALLEN
Running For
Last
TIME
The following statement
was made today by Irvin
M. Allen, who is a candi
date for reelection in the
Democratic primary o n
June 4.
To my friends, the voters of Cleveland county:
When I announced that I would be a candidate in the
June primary, that announcement being made months ago,
I said that if elected I WOULD NOT SEEK ANOTHER
TERM.
In the last week or so numerous people have called in to
know if I really made that statement. I understand that a
number also called The Cleveland Star last week to learn for
a fact if I did make that statement. For the information of
every voter I take this opportunity of saying that I did make
the statement, and I am sticking to it and will stick to it, no
matter what rumors to the contrary may be circulated.
If the good people of this county honor me with the
nomination for sheriff on June 4. I assure them I WILL NOT
ASK TO SERVE ANOTHER TERM.
I appreciate the support and votes given me in the
past, and will deeply appreciate every vote, every good word
and all support given me in this campaign and on June 4.
And with that appreciation I give the repeated assurance that
I will not seek the office for another term. Knowing, if
nominated and elected, that it will be my last term, ! will
naturally give ever honest effort to render the best service
within my power, for it will be by my record that the people
Will remember me and I will want it to be the best possible
for the sake of my children and my friends.
Again thanking you and asking your friendship and sup
port on June 4, I am,
IRVIN M. ALLEN.
