State Safely Democratic
Says "Bob" Doughton
Eighth District Congressman Says
Smith Will Get Solid South This
Fall; Says Republicans Make Rash
Claims Every Two Years, and
This Year is No Exc option

Representative Robert L. Dough
ton, in Washington last week, in
looking after departmental matters,
assured the newspaper representa-
tives of the solid stand for the
Democratic ticket this fall. Farm
er Bob" as he is Familiarity known,
when asked about the Democratic
presidential ticket in this state, said
to the Washington newspapermen:
"Of course, | am going to give the
Democratic ticket my cordial sup
port, as there is no reason why any
Democrat should withhold his sup
port from the nominees, and am
sure | can find no reason for doing
so; but, in fact, the most compelling
reasons why l should give it my sup,
port.
"Since congress adjourned, l have
been down on my farm, and have
not had an opportunity to ascertain
first-hand the sentiment Of the peo-
pie of the state as to the Democratic
presidential ticket, but l have every
reason to believe that the Democrats
in my state will vote for Smith and
Robinson and that they will carry
the state.
We hear a great deal about the
Republicans carrying several con-
gressional districts in North Caro-
lima. This claim is made by the Re-
publicans every two years, but the
districts consistently go Democratic
and that is what they will do this
time in my Judgment"
Mr. Doughton expressed the view
that Smith would get the solid south
and in that event, would have an eX-
cellent chance of election, as it seems
certain that he will get several of
the big eastern states, and probably
some of those of the west
North Carolina is a Democratic
state" continued Mr.. Doughton,
"and l see no reason why it should
depart from it's past affiliation now
and l am sure it will not. The Re-
publicans are nursing a vain hope,
if they expect to carry North Caro-
lima and several other southern
states claimed by the Republicans
will so Democratic now as they have
done in the past"

NURSERY PONDS NEEDED,
SAYS DIRECTOR DIXON

Nero fiddled while Rome burned !;
music has been used to calm the
passions of wild beasts; but fiddlers
Of Watauga county have undertaken
harmonizing to add to the stock of
their fishing streams and game
covers.
The Watauga Game and Fish
Club, ever alert to increase the at
tractiveness of the streams and for
ests of the county, took advantage
of the opportunity offered by the
fiddlers' convention here recently
and raised the sum of S263.30 for
game and fish work.
Desiring to spend the fund in the
manner most productive OF results,
j. W. Bryan, county game and fish
warden, has written J. K. Dixon, as
sistant director of the department of
conservation and development, for
advice as to the best manner in
which to spend the money.
Mr.. Dixon, who has been encour-
aging the construction of nursery
ponds in which the baby fish fry
from state hatcheries can be raised
to lingering size, has suggested
that the establishment of such
pond would return decided results in
creating better fishing facilities for
the community. The movement for
fish nurseries, started this spring,
has already gained rapid headway in
North Carolina, some 20 having al
ready been established. He believes
that this is one of the secrets of
making North Carolina one of the
leading game fishing states of the
nation.
