Western Carolina Holds Potential State Power, Election Survey Shows Although Poorly Represented Now, the West Could Elect the Governor Every Time and Dominate Party By M. K. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH. Dec. 11.—Suggestion recently made by Democratic lead ers of the west that they may seek reprisals from the east because the east has during two sessions of the general assembly blocked the con stitutional mandate of redlstrlctlng the state for the state senate and reapportioning the members of the house of representatives should not have been necessary. Having been made, the mere sug gestion should be sufltcient to bring about the desired results without any movement looking to ward punishing the east for not letting the west have its just pro portion of legislators In the gen eral assembly. But it may not be enough, since power once acquired is relinquished only when absol utely necessary, even though there is plenty of evidence that the west has the voting strength to enforce suggested reprisals. ■arvey Of Votes This evidence is easily gathered from a casual survey of the votes east in North Carolina in recent yearn. It should be sufficient to convince the east that if the west should aver serious attempt re prisals by not rotating the gover nors, by electing both senators from the weet and by getting out candi dates for all state offices, now held largely by the east, this could be accomplished, certainly If the west could agree on any program. The condition sought in these auggeetion to be remedied In the more equal distribution of senators and representatives on the basis of population, as was provided In the constitution, which requires s reapportionment of representatives and A redlstrlctlng for senators aft er each decennial census conduct ed by the federal government and baaed on the new census figures. Twice, in the 1931 and 1933 ses sions, the east has succeeded in blocking bills designed to equalize the representation as contemplat ed, but not without western help. Western Representation As it works out on the basis of the 1930 census, the eastern half of the population has 0ft house mem bers and 38 senators, while the western half of the population has only 52 representatives In the house and 33 in the senate. The redls tricting and reapportionment would not completely cure this Inequal ity of representation, due to the fact that the population Is concen trated more in the piedmont and western counties, and every coun ty, however small, has Its one rep resentative. For example. Cleveland county has a population equal to that of nine of the smaller coun ties of the state, each of which has a representative, while Cleveland hgs only one. U»e redlstrlctlng and reapportion - ment would not completely cure this inequality, but It would result in the piedmont and west getting live additional representatives, which the less populous east would lose, and two additional senators, which also would be lost by the east. That Is why the east has blocked the two attempts. Just why some few of the western and pied mont county representatives have Joined with them in aiding the de feat of the bills Is not quite clear. One western representative in the 1933 house frankly admits that lie allowed the eastern legislators to convince him that It would be to bis Interests and that of his county to Join with the east, on their claim that the larger western coun ties were trying to hog It all. Realises Strength The west is now beginning to realise Its voting strength, however, and If It should find it necessary to use It, and could even partially get it together, it would have no trou ble in carrying out any reprisals It might seek—electing the gover nor from the west each term, as well as other state officers. and electing both U. 8. senators from the west, instead of the one-one division. Democratic voting records in re cent elections prove that the over whelming majority of Democratic votes, as well as Republican votes. ■ X are In the west, a majority that can dictate If it desires. Assuming the usually understood east and west division, which places Gran ville, Wake, Harnett, Hoke and Scotland In the east and all coun ties west of thetr western boun daries in the west, it Is easy to find where the Democratic strength is located. Recent Comparisons % In. this last state-wide election, *ven though an off year, compari sons of a few of the strong Diplo matic counties dawn east with ■nailer but closer counties in the west will be interesting. Little Clav cast more Democratic votes than * did large Edgecombe; little Gra' am cast Ifiore than large GrarvtJ’e; Macon cast more than twice as many as Lenoir: If" re-* TOO more than New Hanover; if little Polk bad cast 275 more, she ■would have equalled Nash; little and close Stokes cast 500 more than Halifax or Duplin either; B3FKS cast more than Wake; Wilkes cast more Democratic votes by 200 than the combined vote of Edgecombe, Franklin and Granville; Lincoln voted 500 more than Wayne. Yadkin cast 100 more Democratic votes than Pitt. Seventeen counties, in the last election, cast less than 1,000 Dem ocratic votes. Onlv one of them, Caswell, was In the west accord ing to tnls division. The remaining 16 were in the east. West Holds Power All of these figures prove be yond any doubt that If the west should decide to seek reprisals, It could make the lives of ambitious eastern Democrats miserable; In fact, block all such ambitions for state-wide office. The west could. If It so desires, elect the governor and lieutenant governor both from the west with out alternating; It could elect both U. 8. senators; It could elect all state officials named by the state wide vote. It could do all of these, if it became necessary, and desir able and unanimous. It might wreck the Democratic party in so doing and let the Republicans In, if the east should get sore enough, Bub there would be no need to car ry it that far. The east, in time, and probably early, would realize Its mistake and give the represen tation. Reprisals What reprisals, then, could be sought, other than electing the governor all the time and both U. S. senators? Here are a few exam ples. When the governor and council of state, the cabinet. In reality, meets to decide matters of state it Is composed of six members, five from the east. Rnd one from the west. Education Board When the state board of educa tion meets, as It has been the past week to select textbooks, or to de ;clde public school matters, It has 1 seven members, five from the east |and two from the west. When the state board of assess 'ment-s meets to lcavy corporate ex I cess on the state’s corporation, two ! thirds of which arc In the west. It Its composed of five members, four | from the east and one from the west.. Executive Committee When the executive committee of [the local government commission meets to pass on matters of cities ' towns and counties, final, except on appeal to the full commission. It is ' composed of four members, nil from the east. From which It, is readily seen that the west is not only not get ting its full representation on the bodies, but Is not even represented on many of them and Is complete ly overwhelmed on the others. It should be noted, too, that most of these officials are elective officials, and not appointive. Also, it should be said, In fairness to Governor Ehrlnghaus, an easterner, that a recent check shows that his ap pointments are fairly well balanced as between enst and west, and that he has not favored his own sec tion, probably not as much as for mer governors have. Governor Rides Behind Wobbly • Drunken Dr'^er RALEIGH, Doc. 23.-Governor .Ehringhaus rode Friday afternoon [from the Frank Page funeral at Aberdeen for a mile or so behind a model T Ford dri\ on by a drunk whose car wobbled as his mind. The governor's car pulled up be hind the Ford and followed slowly to a point less than 10 piles from Raleigh. It was manifest that the driver was not reckless but was making a desperate effort to get : off on the shoulder of the roads and to stay -there. But he was so drunk that he could not stay off the road. He wobbled off, then wobbled on, while the cars whizzed by him. But he never would get off : his side of the road. Finally the driver spotted his own home. He , pulled off the concrete to the slde j walk, shut off his gas and fell out. i “The follow evidently was trying , to avoid accidents and he did the I' esc lie coul : Governor Khtleg ; bans raid. TV ctiver was ninth rstly not taking nis car on t! e reads after getting drunk but tak ing it off following his muddle mlnd-'t’ness. And : body tried to put him In bad. Th ire w as one bl nd drunk who used every second of his sight to pick a road that would gitaran tee the saf~'y of everybody on the highways. But the g v-'rnor could not re memb r ever having seen a man who had on quite so much as this brother did. Buick, Plymouth, Dodge For 1935 Announced New ’35 D. Of Impressive Beauty Now On Showing Advanced Streamline, Unique Sus pension, More Power And Room Give Comfort. Detailed announcement of the 1935 Dodge line, widely awaited because of pre-season rumors cred iting the new models with Import ant Innovations, will prove Inter esting reading because the manu facturers, not content with kerp lng abreast of prevailing trends, offer revera! unexpected features ■ays Keevcr Motor Co , local deal ers. The thoroughness wltlv which Dodge engineers have gone about their task may be gathered from a oartlal list of 1935 Dodge details. Aside from completely redesigned bodies these Include a Dodge htgh compresslon Red Ram engine, a new and Interesting “synchronistic” front suspension, a ventilated clutch, a synchro-shift transmis sion, further improved hydraulic brnRes, and a number of engine and chassis features through which certain control functions, former ly the duty of the driver, are now performed automatically. In the bodv interiors, made more comfortable bv a perfected, clear vlsion ventilation system, Dodge designers have evolved new heights of convenience. There Is an almost lavish display of leg and elbow spacp and, In the way of appoint ments, about everything the exact ing buyer might expect. In dimensions, the bodies of 1935 Dodge models are considerably wider; there Is more space between floor and roof, thought th car'3 overall height Is not increased. Plymouth Shifts Weight Of Car; Changes Springs New 1935 Plymouth Boast Of Springing And Weight Redistribution. The new Plymouth is ft definite ly new type of ride. It is revealed today by Keever Motor Co. and Rush Thompson, 8helby dealers. This ride will result from several important new developments in springing and weight distribution. In the past the great difference between the higher priced cftrs and those of lower price was always in the matter of ride. Wheelbase was considered the explanation, but the real reason was the fact that the front springs being shorter, were stiff. Plymouth has now produc'd the first short spring in the auto mobile history that Is soft and resil ient, but la also long-lived. It Is of utterly new design, and It required the development of a new steel. An unusual characteristic of this spring is that it uses two main leaves, each of which is wrapped around'the shackle bolt. The low 'T leaf is segmented at the center to allow for elongation. The front springs now have ap proximately the same frequency as the rear spring. This, and a redis tribution of the car weight, places approximately the same load on the front and rear springs and results in equalized spring aetton. With this hew system, fill parts of the car rides the same. Four Lines of Buicks For 1935 Now On Showing i —-_~ Group Covers Broad Range From Low Medium To High Med ium Price Fields. Pour lines of motor cars by the Buick Motor company for 1935, oovcring the broad range from the low medium to the high medium price fields and offering the larg est variety of *body types In the history of the Buick organization, It is announced by J. Lawrence Lack ey, local dealer, who has just re turned from the Detroit factory and recently unloaded a car load of the new models. The new carsiteyed to modem requirements of style, comfort and performance, are being displayed simultaneously throughout the United States in the showrooms of Bulck dealers and distributors. With the factory In full production on the 1935 models, adequate stocks are now in dealers’ hands and rep resentative models by the complete line are on display. Dealers con sequently, are able to make prompt deliveries. For the first time, the Buick Mo tor company enters a new year with four distinct groups of auto mobiles, all similar in design and construction, varying only in de- j tails of dimension and price class. The extensive line gives price cov- j erage of approximately 27 per cent I of the entire automobile market, a condition expected greatly to in crease Buick volume during the coming year.
