of Spruce Macy in Salisbury. The
three held a banquet or party. at the

"The Mcdonald forces would have
no complaint about any straw vote
conducted impartially among a large
cross section Of the voters" the
Lumpkin statement continued. "But
in the poll being conducted by Mr..
Goerch only small percentage of the
voters can be approached through his
hand delivery method of distributing
ballots. We have the unique spectacle
of vote getter acting as poll holder
and judge of his own election. In ad-
dition, we have conclusive evidence
that Mr.. Goerch is doing missionary
work for Mr. Hoey throughout the
State while he conducts his straw
election.
Or. Mcdonald is leading in the
magazine poll at present, but we an
ticipate that it will be only a matter
of time before the candidate support
ed by Mr.. Goerch makes substantial
strides to lessen DR.. McDonald's lead
and eventually to overtake him. We
realize, of course, that Mr.. Goerch can
sidestep this charge by keeping DR.
Mcdonald well out in front.
Our purpose in issuing a public
denunciatiOn of the unfairness of the
poll, however, is to let our supporters
know what is taking place so they
will not be misled by Mr.. Goerch's ex-
uberant weather reports on how the
political winds are blowing The Nc

20 Years Ago Today-President Will
son yielded to pressure OF House,
Lansing and other proponents or war;
and wrote a sharp note to Germany
demanding to know why Americans
had been hurt when the French steam
er Sussex was torpedoed in the Eng
lish Channel.
Berlin was more preoccup1ed that
day with dispatches from Verdun
and st. Eloi At the latter point, the
British, suddenly active, carved off a
German salient At Verdun, Ger
mans, after a weeks breathing spell,
launched a new series of assaults,
west of the Mouse, designed to divert
French reserves, Petain gave up Nal
ancourt, and the attack was diverted
to the sector around LIE Mort Homme.
Berlin reported a notable victory,
with losses of a few hundred. French
estimated the enemy's casualties at
10000 and the German losses thus far
in the Verdun offensive at 100000. On
the basis of this latter figure, 1t seem
ed that Germany could not keep up
the struggle much longer. But the
figure was no more accurate than the
contents of most war communicates.
