MORRISON TO RUN OVER
WITH O. MAX GARDNER

In the Statewide primary held
Saturday to nominate a candidate
for governor. North Carolina Demo-
ciats failed to give either Morrison.
Gardner or Paige a majority Of the
votes cast. thereby necessitating a
second primary. to be held on Satur-
day. July 3, in which Morrison, and
Gardner will be the opposing rcandi-
dates. Paige having been eliminated
in the first primary.
The latest returns give Cameron
Morrison of Charlotte lead of about
500 votes over o. Max Gardner of
Shelby for the nomination. out of a
total vote of something like 122,5OO,
OF which Paige received nearly 80
600. Two small counties, Ashe and
Hyde. are yet to report the result of
the election. but the figures from
these counties will not affect the gem
Cral result.
Late Tuesday night the total vote
for each candidate stood: Morrison
5000. Gardner 46,457. Paige 2s,045.
The Charlotte papers have devoted
much space since the returns Of the
election began to come in from the
state generally as to whether Nor
rIson or Gardner was in the lead,
apparently thinking that an impor-
tant matter in deciding the second
contest. When North Carolina has
gone through as many Statewide
primaries as South Carolina has in
the last 30 years the Charlotte pa
pers are apt to learn that the leader
in the first primary frequently falls
behind his opponent In the second
primary.
Gardner's friends in this section of
South Carolina, bordering on Meek
lenburg. the home county OF Morri-
son. are confident the Shelby man
will win in the second primary. while
the friends of the Charlotte lawyer
arc equally sanguine that the Queen
City will have the honor OF furnish
ing the Old North State with its next
governor. But whatever the result
of the second primary. all are agreed
that the nominee will defeat Parker
Of Monroe, the Republican nominee.
In the election next November.
