Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-07-03

has ever been waged for a Democra-
tic nomination in North Carolina. Ad-
mittedly fighting against tremendous
odds, the Mcdonald forces are ex-
pected to exert their maximum effort
to get out every possible vote for MIC
Donald. The Hoey forces, on the other
hand, smarting from the slashing siz-
zling viciousness of the Mcdonald at
tacks on Hoey and his supporters, are
determined to get out every available
Hoey vote in order to beat Mcdonald
so decisively that he will never be
able to try "come back" in North
Carolina politics. So with the McDon-
aid forces worked up into an almost
white heat of frenzied hatred against
Hoey and the "machine,' with the
Hoey supporters bitterly and grimly
resentful against Mcdonald and the
type of campaign he has waged, every
thing points to an unusually heavy
vote for a second primary.
Machine VS.. Machine.
A second factor that points to a
very heavy vote and to the nomina-
tion of Hoey, is that Mcdonald has
made the so-called Democratic "ma-
and in attacking the machine" has
attacked almost all of the Democratic
leaders in the State, who, in the final
analysis, are the machine" Thus the
real issue is whether the old "ma-
chine" shall continue to exist and
function or whether Mcdonald shall
be permitted to install and build up
his own political machine" of new
er design and model, but which would
be even more ruthless and domineer-
ing if it should get into power, than
the present party leadership, most OBJ
servers now agree. So when the voters
go to the polls tomorrow. they will
not only go to vote for Hoey or Nc
Donald, or for or against the ma
chine" but for the present party "ma-
chine" or for the proposed new ina
chine" which it is generally agreed
Mcdonald would start to assemble if
he should be nominated.
Accordingly, the fight at the polls in
the election tomorrow will not be a
fight on 'the machine but a fight
between two machines" for .supre-
macy within the Democratic party in
North Carolina, most observers agree,
with the Hoey forces representing the
older, more conservative, time-tested
machine" and the Mcdonald element
representing the newer, more radical,
highspeed, high-powered and stream
lined machine" Since the tastes of a
majority of the Democrats in North
Carolina have been consistently con-
sentative for the past SO years and
not inclined to try out new fads and
faddiStS, even though a minority in
the party has always fought the ma
jority and tried to gain control of the
party machinery, the conviction of the
older and more seasoned observers is
that the conservatives will again be
victorious, even though DR.. Melon
aid and his followers managed to de-
sign a campaign speedster that has
caused the older party machinists
more headaches and worries than
they have had in So years.
Results of Surveys.
A final survey made today by i'm
partial observers indicates that Mr.
Hoey will accordingly win a majority
of the votes in IS counties while Nc
Donald will get a majority in only 25
counties, 10 of which are east of Dur
ham. This same survey indicates that
approximately 10000 votes will be
cast, of which Hoey will get 3,4OO
and Mcdonald 173,4OO. OF these votes,
HOey will get 143,4O0 in the IS coun-
ties west of Durham. where Melon
aid is scheduled to get sc, 400. while in
