n0blrans decided not to send out
orators from Washington, which was
done when the party attempted to
invade Alabama in the Burnett dis
trict election. Instead, the commit
tee in Washington bombarded the
voters Of the Ninth with literature
attacking the Democratic administra-
ton, the League Of Nations and the
President.
Chairman Fess' predictions of Re
publican victory in North Carolina
came bn the heels Of more general
statement by Chairman VIII Hays,
Of the Republican National Commit
tee, outlining the plans Of his party
for general movement TO enter the
South and break its solidarity.
The Ninth District IN North Car
Dina was regarded as debatabIe
grounds because Of the personal fol-
lowing Of Morehesd m Mecklenberg
county and also because Mecklenberg
Democrats we're alleged dispIeased
over the result Of the Democratic
primary, which were against the
county's candidate. Republican sp-
peals were made to thes DempeFsts
% knife ERE ticket, but Mecklenberg
again went into, the Democratic
cotnmH and gave Hoey a handsome
majority.
Another claim was that the cleo
ton heretofore Of Representative f.
Y, Webb, Democrat, who is now on
the Federal bench, was due largely
to his personal popularity and that
the district would go Republican
with Webb out of the way. The re
suit, however, was just the opposite.
Despite the unprecedented efforts Of
the Republicans to win the district,
the Democratic nominee was elected
by substantial majority over the
strongest Republican candidate the
party could find.
