Reynolds Seems
Almost Sure To
Lead First Run
Raleigh Writer Says Foun
tain Not Expected To De
mand Run-Off Race.
(Star News Bureau.)
Raleigh. June 6. (1 p. m.)—
John C. B. Ehringhaus may
be the next governor of North
Carolina without having to go
in the second primary. And
t is now rather certain that
Robert R. Reynolds, wet can- j
iidate for the United States
Senate, will lead the first pr»- j
tnarv vote by a small margin
jver Senator Cameron Morri- ■
son, former governor and ar
dent dry.
Reports going out from Ra
leigh correspondents today j
stated “Fountain is not ex-1
pected to call for a second pri-1
mary for Governor.” Foun- j
tain is second man to Ehring-j
haus with Maxwell third.
Senate Race.

precincts in North Carolina!
reported the vote for senator!
as follows:
Reynolds _ 124,075
Morrison _ 121,016
Reynolds lead_ 3,059
With only 316 precincts yet
to be heard from in the Sen
ate race it is doubted if Mor
rison will overcome the Rey
nolds lead. The majority of
the 316 precincts not report
ed are small and Morrison
would have to get a good lead
in all to go ahead. The Reyn
olds lead may be reduced some
with a complete vote, but it is
believed he will still be some
ahead.
Going Strong.
The more votes reported th*
stronger Ehringhaus' gets.!

Second Primary Sure
For County And State
Offices; To Be July 2
Run-Off For Sheriff And County
Judge, Governor Senate
And Others.
A second primary will be held
on Saturday, July 2nd. when
there wIP be a run-off in Cleve
land county between Irvin M.
Allen and Raymond Cline for
sheriff, Joseph Wright and ‘Pat’
McBrayei for county recorder.
This wil’ be held at the sam?
time the run-off w'dl be held for
state offirers when Ehrtnghaus will
oppose Fountain for governor and
Cameron Morrison and Bob Rey
nolds will go to the bat again. In I
the second primary a number oS |
other state officers may have to be
voted on.
Raymond Cline. who was in j
Shelby this morning from Kings
Mountain, stated that "I am in thei
second primary," and while Mr. Mc
Brayer was not seen it is presumed
he will enter the second race for
judge. A second ra.ee for state of
ficers is necessary so neither one of
the runners up in the county race
is put in the position of calling for
a second primary as.d putting th*3
county to the expense of such elec
tion.
All who were regi mes ed and voted
in the oiimary on last Saturday.
June 4th, will be entitled to vote in
the second primary July 2nd with
out registration. Th? same registra
tion books and same election offi
cials willcontinue.

county last Saturday will ap
pear In an early issue of The

hoped that the canvas of re

unofficial returns were com
piled so carefully that the of

will be published in order to
show the strength and weak
