Olive, manager of the Hoey-for-Govemor campaign. “We all heard a lot of wild talk but the fact is that North Carolinians were not foiled by the impossible promises of a candidate who said he would reduce taxes and spend more money at the same time. “One of the candidates might not have realized it but in North Caro lina most of the people know enough arithmetic to see through his proposition of collecting less and spending more.” Mr. Olive added that "the trend toward Hoey' grows stronger every day.” “Every day I receive .reports lrom all sections off the state show ing steady stream of voters leaving the opposition and Joining with us. When intelligent North Carolin ians stop to think—as is their habit before they vote—they realize that fronv the standpoint of ability, ex perience and character, Clyde R. Hoey is the ideal selection for gov ernor of our state. “Looking at the campaign from a purely political viewpoint, veter ans at the game say we have the most complete 'organization that has worked for a candidate in many a year. I want to make it clear, how ever, that neither I nor the county managers nor the headquarters staff can take credit for that. The fact is that Clyde R. Hoey’s friends and admirers all over North Carolina— men and women who know him and know his record of unselfish service to state and party—just in sisted on Joining in the work. "I doubt if there has ever been a man in North Carolina who had as many friends as Clyde Hoey, the next governor of the state.’” P. O. Closes May 30; Banks, B. & L.
