Chairman Thomas D. Warren of the
State Democratic executive COMMITTEES
returned yesterday from his home at
New Bern and Is busy at headquarters
/ getting matters in shape for the am
preaching campaign which is not a.
long OF as it has been.
Mr.. Warren states that reports
coming in from over the State are
very encouraging and he expects the
usual Democratic majority to be roll
ed up in November.
i While the Republicans have opened
headquarters in Greensboro they do
not seem to be making a very aggres-
sive campaign so far and the only
danger that confronts the Democratic
hosts is apathy.
Chairman Warren is bending his
energies to impress on the several
county and precinct chairmen.
! throughout the State the necessity Of
! getting out a full vote and he believes
that this will be done.
While the great war is in progress
in Europe it is extremely difficult to
| get the people interested in politics
but Mr.. Warren will keep hammering
away until election day and believes
that his work will not be in vain.
When Registration Books Open.
! The registration books will open on
October LIST and close October oath.
It behooves every Democrat to see
that his fellow Democrats are regis
tered so that they may be enabled to
vote for a continuation of good gov
ernment in North Carolina and endorse
i the splendid administration of Wood
row Wilson.
