In an election-eve statement,
Frank H. Waldrop, county COP;
chairman, predicted victory and
took a final swing at NJ. NJ. Red
den, county Democratic chairman.
"A sweeping victory will be
given the Republican candidates
in Henderson county in tomor-
rows election" Waldrop SAID.
"In this county one issue trans
cends all others-honesty in cleo
tons, the same as in business.
The absentee ballot law is cess
POOL of political iniquity. lnlqui-
tous as it was in past elections,
it was not rotten enough for
Chairman Redden, so he had an
amendment passed in the last leg
islature making this law about ten
times as obnoxious to the good
citizens of Henderson county.
"Thus the foundation was laid
for a dishonest election and
wholesale violations of election
laws. And the citizens of our
county-Democrats and Republic
cans alike-are shocked and dis
gusted at the methods now being
used on so large a scale to offset
majority of honest votes. But
the half is not yet known. Only a
through investigation will reveal
the extent of the violations plan
ned and perpetrated.
"The entire county is aroused.
Our party in unified. Hundreds
of good Democrats are going TO
vote for our candidateS-not to
forsake their party but to repu-
date it's leadership. That's why |
say we will win a sweeping VIC
tory.
Furthermore, our candidates
are of high type, sincere, able
and honest, and as officials would
reflect credit on any county in
the state. The people believe in
them. Their election will mean a
county government more respon-
sive to the needs of the average
person in Henderson county.
, Sheriff Orr, who has made a
splendid record, will be reelected
by large majority"
