Med Donald Asks New Deal
In Government OF State
Compares machine" To Hoover Tactics in Nation
Prior to 1888; Candidate Says He Stands on Record
and Tradition of Demo cratic PARTY in State

A new deal in North Carolina even
as there is new deal in the nation
: was asked by DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald.
antisales tax candidate for the Demo
cratic gubernatOrial nomination in
the June primary, in an address
here last night before an audience
that filled the main floor of the
Vance theatre and sent many others
into the balcony for accommodations.
DR.. Mcdonald denounced the ina
chine" in the Democratic party, and
declared he stood on the record of the
party of the State. He advocated re-
mOval of the sales tax in it's entirety,
and said if it were not removed now
it might never be taken off He also
advocated higher school appropria-
tons, and higher taxes on dividends
and large incomes.
w. d. Massee presided at the meet
!! ng and presented M. C. Pearce, can
didate for the State Senate here, who
introduced DR.. Mcdonald to the au-
dience. Mr.. Pearce said the candi-
dates record was "unimpeachable,"
and characterized him as "the leading
anti-sales tax candidate for governor"
Tribute To COrbitt
DR.. Mcdonald at the outset paid
tribute to the late w. S. Corbitt as an
outstanding citizen of Vance county
and of the State, and expressed ap-
probation for the many loyal support
ers and friends he had in the State
The speaker recalled the days of the
Hoover regime in Washington prior
to 1888, and said that the theme song
then was 1T Can't Be Done" when
aid was asked by the farmers, but
that 1T Can Be Done" when business
came up for assistance. Much the
same condition prevails in this State
at the present time, and the people
have demanded a new deal in North
Carolina, and have set June as the
date for the "funeral' of the ma
chine" he said
He charged the machine" was put
ting the school system at the bottom
in rank in the nation. and said the
sales tax was imposed on the people
in 1888 "for the duration of the emer-
gency," but instead of removing it in
1885, the machine made it worse.
Stands on Party Record
DR.. Mcdonald paid high tribute to
the personal character of all three of
his opponents for governor, but said
he himself was a candidate because
he believed there were certain things
that ought to be done in North Caro-
lima, and said he stands on the tradi-
ton and record of the Democratic
party in the State He charged that
prior to 1928 the schools had made
more progress than ever before, and
said it was in that year that the pre-
sent machine" came into power He
characterized the income tax as the
fairest method of taxation, and pro-
posed the boosting of the rates to
