Three Speeches Will Mark Climax Of Repeal Figh tin This Section Reynolds Speaks On Friday Eve; Hoey On Monday - . j | Repeal Forces Plan Big Event For Senator Reynolds, Campaign Warmer. .___ A repeal campaign which arous I ed little or no interest in this sec tion a mouth or six weeks ago has attained considerable heat during the last week and is to be climaxed during the next five days with a whirlwind drive by both dry and repeal forces. Starting this afternoon and con tinuing through Monday night, the (Shelby section is to be the center! i of one of the hardest fought cam-1 patgn closes in years. Address Today This afternoon Judge E Yates Webb, who has been leading the I prohibition fight since it started, is speaking in the court house here. The dry forces will follow up the j Webb address with their final bid for votes Monday night when Clyde R. Hoey will speak here Plan Bi* Time The repeal forces are: going to stack their hopes of carrying Cleveland county on one big rally Friday night when Senator Robert R. Reynolds will come here to speak in the court house at 7:30. Managers of the repeal campaign locally stated today that they hop ed to have, a band here Friday aft ernoon and night, and also an ex ceptionally large crowd to hear Senator Reynolds who W’ill be on his first visit here since elected to office. Senator Reynolds. “Ou,r Bob” to the people who elected him to of fice.by a record vote last year, is to be accompanied here, it is reported, by several of his assistants and friends. Including Johnston Avery, former Lenoir and Hickory news paperman. who is his secretary; David Strain, one of his campaign managers, and others. Wherever he has spoken so far in his whirlwind tour of the state Senator Reynolds has been heard by large audiences. “He was elected to office on a re peal platform.” it wag stated by re peal workers here today, “and the reception he is being given this week indicates that the people are still with him.” The three speeches are expected to draw a large aggregate crowd. Each of the trio is an accomplished orator and rates among the best in the state. Much depends, too, it is believed, upon the effect of the speeches as both sides are of the opinion that many votes can be made from today noon until next Tuesday morning. Register Andy Is A Diplomat In Repeal Fight Andy F. Newton, Cleveland county register of deeds, has j long been regarded as one of the most cautious and most j diplomatic men in public life hereabouts, and in the repeal campaign, which is picking up heat, he is just as cunning as ever in avoiding pitfalls. Yesterday a visitor at the court house asked Register Newton if he intended to hear Senator Bob Reynolds, repeal speaker, here Friday night. “I certainly do,” Register Newton replied. “Unless provi dentially hindered, I intend to hear Judge Webb tomorrow aft ernoon, Senator Reynolds Fri day night and Mr. Hoey Monday night.” No catching that fellow in a political blunder. HERE FRIDAY Senator Robert R, Reynolds (above) will make his first trip to Shelby since election on Friday night when he conies here to speak in favor of repeal at the county court house.
