Never in the history of North Caro-
lima has there been such a tour of the
State as will be made this year by the

gin at Burlington tomorrow and last
until the day before the election IN
August.
The full itinerary for this tour has
not been made out further than to
Washington on May Sth.' said State
Chairman +. NJ. Simmons yesterday.
THE details for the balance of the
campaign have not yet been formu-
lated. As soon as the above itinerary
is over Mr.. Aycock will go to the
Eighth Congressional district, begin
ming with Surry county and speaking
in all the counties of the district. J.
have just today written letters to all
the county chairmen III the district
apprising them of this decision and
asking them to fix the places for the
speakings. | will fix the time.
L
cessary to give Mr.. Aycock few
days rest after he completes the
itinerary above printed.
I'm addition to the speeches made
by Mr.. Ayccck. it is my purpose TO
have some good campaigner-pr prefer
ably an eastern man---visit each coun-
ty of the Eight district, making a
speech in every township. till the en-
tire county is thoroughly canvassed.
This district campaign will begin
the latter part Of May.
while Mr.. Avcock is in the Eighth
district, there will be two or three
candidates speaking in the Ninth dis
probably DR.. Dixon and Mr..
Mcneil. They will make two speech
es in each county. and will finish the
Ninth district about the time Mr.
Aycock completes the Eighth. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Turner will accom-
pany Mr.. Aycock in this canvass.
''The whole West will be canvassed
in this way, the candidates being as
signed to the different counties: and
when the West is completed the can
didates will come east.
But while this work is going ON
in the West we will bring all the
speakers possible from that section to
the east which will be canvassed in
the latter part of May and the first
half of June. In making this can
vass we will have OH eastern and one
western man 10 go along together.
THE work in the east finished, the
western men will go back home to
take up the work there and continue
it until the election"
At Burlington tomorrow it is eX-
pected that there will be Il very large
crowd to hear Mr.. Aycock II being
