not only in the west and the middle
sections in the State. but even in the
very bailiwi@k of the National Com
mitteeman, who is opposing Con-
gressman Morehead, but who is not
suggesting anyone else, a most pc
culiar attitude.
In Guilford, despite a cowardly at
tack in the organ of the "pie coun-
ter" forces, to which they refused
space for answer; despite a most
foul and anonymous circular, claim
ing to be the copy of an article from
Democratic paper, the aroused Re-
publicans of that county sent a solid
delegation to the State convention
instructed to vote for Morehead, and
to make it more emphatic, also en-
dorsed him for Congress.
In Chatham, beyond feeble
peep" by Duncan delegate
the convention was wildly en-
thusiastic for Morehead and the
instructions to the delegates were, to
stand by Morehead so long as he was
a candidate for chairman.
Pamlico, just adjoining Duncan's s
own county of Carteret, gave her
delegation to Morehead, as did Pen
der, another eastern county on which
the machine" was relying. Stanly,
in the Eighth District also gave
Morehead it's delegation.
The day was practically the crux
of the campaign for State Chairman,
and while the machine is still fight
ing desperately, the result is practi-
cally assured. The action of the
above counties will doubtless be fol-
lowed by others this week.
