Tar Heel Democracy
Prepa res For Con test
Three State Contest*
On July 2
Major Interest In Senatorial Rare.
Ehringhaus Considered Sure.
Winner
M R. D CNN AG AN
Star News Bureau
Raleigh. June 20.—Democratic
hosts are swinging merrily into ac
tion looking toward the three state
wide contests on July 2 in a second
primary, bolstered by contests in
several counties, following several
expected and unexpected develop
ments of the past few days. The
contest between Senator Cameron
Morrison and Robert R. Reynolds
was expected, as was the run-off
race between Col. A. L. Fletcher and
Clarence Mitchell, his runner-up. for
the commissioner of labor nomina
tion. 1
The unexpected development was
filing notice a few hours before the
time expired by. Lieutenant Gover
nor R. T. Fountain of a second con
test with J. C. B. Ehringhaus, who
led him by 47.000 votes in the three
cornered race for the gubernatorial
nomination. Politicians believe Mr.
Fountain would accept the verdict
and not contest further in what was
apparently a hopeless cause. and
that is held out to have been the
candidate's view.
“Pushed In”
Belief is that he was pushed re
luctantly into a second contest by
advisers who are not primarily in
terested in his success, as such, but
have other hopes and reasons. James
L. DeLaney. his manager, said prac
tically all of his real friends were
urging him to run again, and ul
terior motives were assigned to
those who advised him not to enter.
Friends of Mr. Fountain claim that
the conference was “stacked” only
with those wishing him to run, and
many who had his real interest at
heart were not called in to confer,
but that numbers of these had ad
vised him not to call a second pri
mary. Mr. Fountain, in his state
ment. places responsibility for his
second race on advice of his friends.
Mr. Fountain also issued a state
ment expressing satisfaction with
the platform adopted by the state
Democratic convention, which
heartily endorsed the Gardner ad
ministration, so much so that poli
ticians were wondering how Mr
Fountain, whose campaign was bas
ed largely on attacking the admin
istration, would find toe-hold on
that foundation. But he expresses
satisfaction in some of the planks
and predicts that he will be able to
j change others to conform more
I nearly with his expressed views and
positions.
Mr* Ehringhaus points out that
the platform utterances on the rec
ord of the administration are al
most identically his own campaign
expressions, expressions which Mr.
Fountain took occasion several
times in his campaign speeches to
criticise. If Mr. Ehringhaus can find
satisfaction in that, it is satisfactory

Senate Turns Thumbs Down On Bonus
Payment; Ragged Vets Watch Move
Avalanche Of Votes Defeats Meas
ure 62 To 18. May Recon
sider Plan.
Washington, June 20.—An ava
lanche of Senate votes Friday night
buried all hopes of several thous
and war veterans massed at the
Capitol for immediate payment of
$2,400,000,000 on their bonus certifi
cates.
By a 62 to 18 vote, the Senate re
jected the Patman bill which had
swept through the House on the
wave of a 211 to 176 majority. Only
IP Democrats, seven Republicans
and one Farmer-Labor Senator vot
ed for the legislation which had
brought 20,000 former service men
to Washington.
As the result was announced out
side, boas from the vast throng of
veterans mingled vtth cheers at "ft
statement from on* of then* lead
er?. will here until the
bonus is paid
The crowd remained orderly and
hundreds started away from the
Capitol immediately.
Notice that the fight for the tegis
lation will be continued was given
by Senator Bankhead, Democrat,
Alabama and Thomas, Democrat,
Oklahoma, who switched their
votes from “aye” to “no” so that
they could move for reconsideration
later under parliamentary rules.
The Senate also defeated an ef
fort to reopen the question by vot
ing to table a motion to reconsider,
the vote being 44 to 26.
Hundreds of vet*~ans—clad either
in overalls or ragged clothing—sat
in the senate galleries watching
tensely every move as the debate
dragged through the day and into
the night. When the result was an
nounced they remained quiet and
began to leave quietly.

thousands of bedraggled former
service men at the Capitol were re
inforced by other thousands from

the public more generally are
the taxes on bank checks and

Bank depositors, will be required

tax will be handled on depositors'

Batchelor at 4 o'clock yesterday
had been missing lor an entire
week. No one about his home ser
tlon has seen or heard of a trace of
him since.
Sunday afternoon a week ago h"
disappeared as quietly and ns easily
as ff he had vanished In the air. He
told hie father. Coroner Batchelor.
| some negro men had asked him to
motor them to the Ear! section of
this county. Since that time he has
not been seen or heard of. No one
in Gaffney knows the Identity of
the negroes referred to. Early Mon
day morning, a week ago, Batche
lor's car was found just east of
Shelby where it had been abandon
ed. There were signs of a struggle
about the car.
wooas aiong me roan between
Shelby and Gaffney were searched
last. week. Members of his family
feared foul play but no body was
found.
This week, according to a message
to The Star today from Gaffney,
officers may drag the Broad river
at several points In an attempt to
find the body, some holding the
view that he was killed and thrown
into the river. Another supposition,
as is usually tho case in speculation
of the type, is that Batchelor chose
to leave home because of financial
or other worries, and merely adopt
ed the plan of abandoning his car
in Shelby. He had been here the
previous week on business.
