Pea.,,,arded as doubtful whether
IS D"rng Democrats will decide
me into the campaign as an

PIs sors of the more extreme
..oJsts however, have lately

!. ,rue and will be introduced in /
:, sffort TO get the convention
;, instruct the entire state or
s,nization of Young Democrats
- 20 out and work for repeal as
an organization. But present in
Era,iOns are that this extreme
rs,oIution will not be adopted
and that a more moderate one
viI be substituted for il.
The more moderate view being
siopted by more and more of the
Young Democrats is expressed in
letter received here within the
ha few days from one of the
former leaders of the radical re-
pssl group in Charlotte, in which
he said: I'VE practically agree on
the question of repeal and the
course to be taken by the Young
Democrats convention | feel
that the convention should take a
positive vote on this question, |
10 not see that it is essential
sitter such a vote to take a def !
mite part as an organization IN
The campaign for repeal. But
an in favor of such activity, eth
or by the state organization as a
whole. OF by county organizations
that feel they can do So"
One of the principal reasons
vhy many of the leaders Of the
Young Democrats feel that the
state organization as an organi-
nhon should not take an active
part in the repeal campaign this
ial IS because the state Demo
caic executive committee, which
Z N fact the organization of all
The Democrats in the state, has
teided not to take part in the
campaign. This decision was
reached on the basis that the re-
zeal campaign should not become !
party campaign and that hence !
The Democratic organization
should stay out of it and not seek !
10 influence Democrats to vote /
either for or against repeal.
It Is generally agreed that the !
North Carolina Young Demo
cratic clubs are units of the en-
tire state Democratic organiza-
ton, not entirely separate from
1t, and that hence they should be
guided somewhat by the policies
Iald down by the older organiza-
non There is no objection on
The part Of any of the older Dem
Ocrats or any members of the ex-
ecutlYe committee to the Young
Democrats expressing themselves
on repeal or to their working for
I as Individuals. 1t is agreed
nat a majority of the older Dem
