Frost Hinder Work
Steady Progress
Expected

After the longest. hardest cole
spell which has ever been record
ed in this vicinity, thawing temp
eratures again prevail, quickening
activity on many phases of the
construction on the Fort Peck
dam.
At the spillway. tho Massman
Construction Co. are making ef-
forts to start operations. On Sat-
urday. February 20. they started
two shovels. digging on the side
bsrms of the channel with the
necessary fleet of dump trucks,
but soon found the frost had gone
down about six feet making it
impracticable to continue. Prior
to commencing any work. bull
dozers had done a neat job of
scraping the mud and snow off
the haulroads so that the trucks
could run on dry. hard bottom.
Work continues on the concrete
mixing plant and this will soon be
entirely ready.
Addison Miller. Inc. and Field
ing & Shepley. Inc. are getting
ready to esum work on the gate
structure Of the spillway. 1t may
bo possible for shovels to start
excavating at the two abutments
of tho structure in the next few
days. While the frost is just as
deep there as farther down the
channel where the Massman COM
pany ia working. there is much
depth Of material to be
taken out. which will probably
enable the shovels. once started,
to continue.
Perhaps the best indication Of
accelerated activity is the fact
that employment on the project is
again over the 5000 mark. Fig

Arrangements Set Up For
Church Tomorrow Morn
ing Explained

Because Of the size Of the gradual
ing class and the great number of
parents and friends of the graduates,
special arrangements have been found
to be necessary to accommodate the
congregation at the First Baptist
church on Sunday morning, May 81,
at II o'clock for the sermon to the
class of 1886.
The arrangement were explained in
a statement to the public today by
Prof. w. D. Payne, principal of the
high school, as follows:
"The church auditorium will be
open for the parents and friends of
the graduates beginning at 1920 a.
M, Gut we sincerely hope that only
those who have the reserved seat
tickets will come before 1O:45 a. m.
This will enable our marshals to seat
the parents and friends in the reserve
seats before the other people come in.

courtesy to the graduates and their
parents and friends. Because of the
size of the class, we are compelled to
reserve the entire main floor of the
church auditorium for the graduates,

he does not get majority.
"The candidacy of Mr.. Hoey has
won more approval every day since
the campaign started and the momen-
tum of this growing sentiment for
him is increasing every hour. The
Democrats of North Carolina ara
coming to realize more and more that
the office of governor should be filled
by man who has lived his entire life
in North Carolian and devoted the
greater part of it to the Democratic
party and the upbuilding of the lifa
of the State. With increasing volume.
these Democrats are now saying that
that man is Clyde r. Hoey-and they
are going to elect him governor"
Claim Graham in Run-Off.
AS result of the tremendous gains
he has made throughout the eastern
counties during the past two weeks,
Sandy Graham now predicts that he
will be high man in at least 90 of
these eastern counties, many of
which had previously been conceded
to DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald. Graham
is also confident that he will get
enough votes over the State as
whole to get into the second primary,
regardless Of the claims of his oppon-
ents.
"The reception accorded me on this
present trip through the east, togeth-
err with reports from unprecedented OBJ
servers in every section of the State,
are proof that a tremendous Graham
tide is rolling in" Sandy said while
stopping here for few hours before

are tired of having the State govern
ment travel in the same old rut. They
have also awakened from the hyp-
motto spell of rose-tinted promises
broadcast by DR.. Mcdonald. They
have decided that I am the candidate
and the only candidate who can bring
about the kind of change in the State
government they DESIRE
The propaganda which his oppon-
ents have been spreading to the effect
that Sandy Graham is a good fellow
but is running so far behind that

down Graham said. He predicted that
his vote in the Piedmont and west is
going to be just as large as in the
east.

he was now certain he would carry

rapidly that 1 am convinced that by
the day of the primary I will carry
many of them in addition to the ones

HOey Will Win, Olive Says.
The steady gains which Clyde r.
Hoey is making through the Pied
mont and western counties, as well
as in many of the eastern counties,
now indicate that Hoey will be the
next governor of North Carolina, HUI.

Hoey, said here today. This belief is

shift of votes for many days." Olive
said. This has resulted in the loss
of considerable strength by one of the
candidates CDR. Ralph w. McDonald)
and in large gains by Mr.. Hoey. Our
reports show that Mr.. Hoey will lead
in more than half of the counties in
the eastern portion of the State and

them.

that they are now now hoping for
anything more than for Mcdonald to
be high man in the first primary.
They are confident, howevG r, that
Mcdonald will get much larger vote
in the Piedmont and western coun-
ties than his opponents believe he
will and that he will have lead of
at least 10000 votes over whoever is
in second place.
Hoey Not Disturbed
Nor are the Hoey managers much
disturbed at the shift from McDon-
aid to Graham, since to them it indi-
Gates a general dissatisfaction with
Mcdonald and his platform and a rap
id dissolution of his strength. Con-
victed that Graham is trailing so far
back in third place that he cannot
possibly overtake Hoey. the hackers
of the Shelby man point out that
every vote Graham takes away from
Mcdonald merely reduced the dist
ance between Hoey and Mcdonald
and makes it more likely that Hoey
will be able to overtake and pass the
former college professor. They also
maintain that before the final week
of the campaign is over many of
those who have now gone to Graham
will move on over to Hoey, especially
as it becomes more and more evil
dent that Hoey will at least be in
second place, if not in first position.
The Hoey supporters also are con-
WINGED that both the Mcdonald and
Graham managers and supporters
are not taking into proper consider
alton the tremendous silent VOTE"
especially among the church women
and church people of the State, which
they are confident will be cast for
Hoey.
Graham Senses Trend
The Graham supporters, however
are not in the least worried by the
claims of their opponents and main
tain that the heavy trend to Graham
which is conceded by both the rival
camps is going to get bigger and big
ger during the final week and that
Sandy is already assured of second
place. They contend that this trend
is a definite indication not only of
lack of confidence in the promises
and program Of Mcdonald but of a
definite distaste for Mr.. Hoey and
all that he represents. They are fur
Their convinced that the early strength
shown by Mcdonald was not an indi-
cation of any great personal follow
ing but of tremendous dissatisfac-
ton with the present state admins
tration and of the old practice of hand
picked Governors and other state of
ficials. So they are confident that
the trend to Graham is going to be-
come more pronounced this next week
and that those who are coming over
Sandy are going to stick.
But no one will know for sure who
has "doped" the situation correctly
until after the votes are counted next
Saturday night.
