MANCHESTER, n. H., July 6.

an estimated 500 who attended a
two-day New England convention

HOEY Vote IN
THIS COUNTY
!. IS LANDSLIDE
Thad Eure Again Carries
; County; Ballenger
Defeats Brooks
ALL PRECINCTS BUT
CRAB CREEK REPORT

An overwhelming preference
Tor Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby attor-
ney, for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor was registered
by Democratic voters in Satur-
days primary in Henderson coun-
ty.
On the basis of returns from
10 Of the county's 20 precincts,
Mr.. Hoey had carried every pre-
cinct in the county except Rugby,
and had polled 1904 votes to .
total of 631 for DR.. Ralph Nc
Donald, of Winston-Salem.
In spite of the fact that 'Satur-
day was the Fourth of July and
a holiday, voters in this county
polled large vote which was on
ly about 100 less than that polled
in the first primary on June 6.
With Crab Creek precinct still not
reported, the vote for governor
on Saturday was 3725, as COM
pared to total gubernatorial
vote of 1856 in the first primary
in June. Crab Greek precinct cast
20 votes for the four men in the
first gubernatorial race.
wilkins P. Horton, candidate
for lieutenant governor, carried
this county by more than thous-
and votes in the second primary
over his opponent, Paul Grady.
Thad Eure, running against
Secretary of State Stacey Wade,
carried Henderson county by
slightly less than 200 votes on the
basis of returns from the 10 pre-
cincts.
In the only county race in the
second primary, Tax Collector J.
H. Ballenger won from j. +.
Brooks, present county coroner,
by 1910 votes on returns from
the 10 precincts.
With only about % votes miss
ing in this county the vote in the
state and county races was as 1ol-
lows: Hoey 1904, Mcdonald 631;
Horton 1928, Grady 1147; Eure
1901, Wade 1913; Ballenger 2654,
Brooks TIA.
On the basis of the 10 precincts
DR.. Mcdonald polled fewer votes
than he did in the first primary.
His vote in June was $50 votes,
and should the anti-sales tax can
didate poll all the 29 votes cast
in the first primary in Crab Creek
he would still be short of the votes
he received in June.
The election passed quietly IN
Henderson county and the votes
were counted and tailed with the
exception of the one missing pre-
cinct by 1890 p. m. Saturday,
probably the earliest hour for the
completion of county in many
years.
