Held Last Saturday and Morehead
Supporters Win Over Federal Of
ficeholders-Hard Fight on Lester
r. Butler.


ficehoIders-Iiard Fight on Lester
r. Butler.
The Wake County Republican pri-
maries were held last Saturday at
O'Clock in the afternoon in the coun-
try and O'Clock that night in the
city precincts. They were orderly
and we'll attended, the voters show
ing special interest in the election
of delegates friendly to the election
Of Hon. John NJ. Morehead as State
Chairman. From the returns, enough
delegates have been elected to con-
trol the convention in his favor, and
it is the opinion of those best &C
quainted with the facts that a solid
MOrehead delegation will be sent to
Greensboro and assure the election
of Lester F. Butler, as County chair
man, both actions meaning a win
ming fight this fall.
The Federal office-holders, cap
tanned by Postmaster Briggs and
Deputy Collector ]. P. H. Adams
("Buck") did all in their power, but
pendent voters who refuse to yield
to Federal oftice-holder domination.
The vote was heavily for Mr.. More
head.
One of the hardest fought points,
that is, on the part of the office
holders, was the ward wherein re-
sides Mr.. Lester F. Butler. The
ward, came out with his aids and
made speeches. At least one we'll
known Democrat was present at the
primary, working hard against Mr..
Butler. There was evidence of
plenty of liquor in hand, but be it
voters of the Outside-East-Nort
Ward, such work was repudiated
and Mr.. Butler and his friends were
easily elected.

gates elected that are obtainable:
