Vote To
Be Biggest Ever,
DOwell Believes

Raleigh. May 5-The largest pri-
mary election vote in the history of
North Carolina is the prediction of
Willard L. Dowell, candidate for State
auditor, who has penchant for fig
ures. Not the largest election vote,
for it often happens that more Demo
cratic votes are cast in a general cleo
ton than in the preceding primary
election, according to Mr.. Dowell, but
the largest primary vote.
Mr.. Dowell recently took time out
of his strenuous campaign for the
Democratic nomination for State au-
ditor to figure on the election outlook.
Looking back into the past, he found
that 234,77O votes. were cast in the
1894 contest between Senator Josiah
w. Bailey and the late Governor An
gus w. Mclean for the gubernatorial
nomination. Max Gardner was I'M
opposed in 1928, but it was another
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-05-05

story in 1882. In that strenuous cam
paign for Governor, with three can
didates, there were cast 379,657 votes
in the first Democratic primary and
251 ,026 in the second primary.
Not less than 100000 votes is the
forecast by Mr.. Dowell in the first
Democratic primary this year. He
bases this prediction upon the keen
interest already manifested in the
four-cornered contest for governor
and in the strenuous campaigns for
other offices including that the State
Auditor in which Mr.. Mcdowell is let
ting. no grass grow under his feet.

Of the Constitution, effective October /,

The Board feels that all depositors will
understand It's action which aims at safe
guarding their interests during a situation
wlich is being experienced the world over
and the assurance is given that if and wh a
conditions permit the Board will be glad to
authorize such higher interest rate as may
be warranted.
