More About General Election .. <Cont'd from front pagei in this county, there was some quea .iion as to whether Cleveland Coun* V VI//ill 1/1 naat bo 1 A /ifWl odd %? \ I 11 (J 1U,\AA/"UV4U WIC3 it oast tor. president in 1944, or that Kings Mountain would roach the 1,687 it oast in the general election . ol that year. * ' In 1941, Kings Mountain voted for ?h'e late I'festdeiu Roosevelt by 1,3'15 to 282 for Thomas E. Dewey, again the Republican standard-bearer. In Cleveland County, it was ' Roosevelt 8,164, Dewey ?.641; . Governor Strom Thurmond, the; South Carolina "bolter" and Dixiejerat standard-bearer, was sure to get some votes, but few gave him a, . chance to 'carry North Carolina.' There were some who argued that in Kings Mountain he would get i few additional votes 'han those! from disgruntled "conservative" De-j moerats, who, without the Dixiecrat candidacy, would have bolted any-j way and east a ballot for Dewey?i which they did in 1944. Others felt Thurmond would mavp a greater j appeal to the mass of the voters he 1 .., cause of the controversial civil* rigbis issue, and would therefore get a'sizeable vote. Few thought' Henry Wallace would get as much us one percent of the vote, here or anywhere tit the state. Republicans hoped the Thurmond vote would siphon off enough Truman votes to put the state in the Dewey column-' by plurality. Cleveland and Gaston counties were publicly,,at least, still strongiv in I>emocratie column, the Gas ion I a Daily Gazette, the Shelby Dail> Star, and Kings Mountain Herald ( wrung out flatly i'or reeleetlon of President Truman. This was .not tho fa so in populous Mecklenburg. .-Abort- both the Charlotte News and the Charlotte Observer had anrtoun. eo support of Governor Dewey. The News had always been Democratic, but the Observer regarded' itself as independent But the Observer had never cared/much for Mr Roosevelt. North Carolina citizens would-also vote yes-'nfi no on four amendments to the state constitution: 111 To raise the pay of state legisl'at'rfS front StiOO to $1,200 (>er session and with speakers, of the housI ~ Wl ; This scientific macl i < t i K s ' ' " ' ' ' ' - ? , ... . . - f. . - .

(4> To aflow carrying of city and I county >0nd elections by simple ma' Jority vote, rather than "against the books." ] Predominant work in local races done by Republicans had been on the part of Calvin R. Edney, of Marshall, wh<i is opposing veteran Representative A. L Buhvinke, of Gastonia, for the 11th district 9eat in the House of Representative. Postoffice boxholders had been bom ftarded with almost-daily circulars supporting Mr. Edney. Mr. Bulwinle, on the other hand, had been doing much personal politicking and speech-making throughout the last' several weeks and was a heavy favorite to succeed himself.
