FIRST REVOCATION
RECKLESS DRIVING
Follows Two Convictions as
Given in Batch by High
way Commission
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.
px,sV a. lRASQ< QNnRNINI

Raleigh, Jan. 13.-The first revoca-
ton of drivers license following two
convictions for reckless driving was
announced by the highway safety di-
vision of the Department of Revenue
in the list of revOcatiOnS issued Sat
urday The other 20 revocations were
for drunken driving or for drunken
and reckless driving. The driver
whose license was revoked for reck-
less driving was Carl Clenard, of
Thomasville.
The reason there have been no re-
vacations of driving permits before
this for careless and reckless driving
is because the law stimulates that a
driver must be twice convicted Of
careless and reckless driving ,.efore
his license can be revoked, and be-
cause tile new law did not go into eff
feet until November l. The highway
safety division has between 500 and
1000 notices in it's files of drivers
who have already been convicted once
for reckless driving. All OF these are
Being segregated in red folders, for
easy reference. Whenever a notice of
a second conviction is received these
folders are transferred to files in
which the complete records of all
these drivers whose licenses have
been revoked are kept, and the driver
notified that his license has been re-
voked for one year and to send it in
at once to the department. If the Ii
cense is not surrendered promptly.
highway patroman wi be sent to take
it up.
Within the next few days a letter
will be sent to every driver who has
already had one conviction for reck-
less driving, calling this fact to his
attention and reminding him that if
he is convicted again of this offense
he will lose his drivers license for
one year. Director Arthur Fulk of the
division, said today He is hoping
that this letter of warning will serve
to make these drivers more careful
and that as result many of them
will see to it that they are not ar
rested and convicted again for reck
less driving.
The division is also getting COM
plete reports from all other states of
North Carolina drivers arrested and
convicted for violations of the motor
vehicle laws, Fulk, pointed out.

over the entire country in definitely
putting the North Carolina delegates
on record as being for Roosevelt. and
because it would also assist them in
their primary campaigns for renom-
nations.
No one knows yet just what is the
attitude of the various candidates for
governor and other State officers to-
wards holding the convention before
the State primary. but no one here
is able to see how it would injure the
chances of any candidates. It is
agreed agreed that the State conven-
ton this year will be little more than
a Statewide pep meeting for the re-
nomination and reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and that State issues
are not likely to be injected into it.
There was a definite reason for the
pcStponement of the ~tate convention
until after the Democratic primary in
1923, of course. The reason for that
pos-ponement was that AL Smith was
the leading contender for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President and
that if the State convention should
meet and instruct it's delegation for
prohibition and religion-but chiefly
religion-mieht become injected in
the nomination of Smith be cut down.
so. III order to keep AL Smith and the
religious issue out of the State Demo-
cratic primary campaign, the State
convention was deferred until after
the State primary. That the members
of TIE State Democratic Executive
Committee used good political judg-
ment was later shown when a bitter
fight developed in the State conven-
tiCn between the AL Smith and anti
Smith forces and still later in the
November election when North Caro-
lima elected 0. Max Gardner, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
by zig majority. but gave Herbert
Hoover rather than Al Smith big
majority for president.
The situation here within the State
was also rather complex in $780, when
the veteran, Senator F. M. Simmons
was opposed for the nomination by
Josiah William Bailey largely be-
cause Simmons refused to stay IRE
gular' in 1923 and support AL Smith.
So in order to prevent a Simmons
bdlley IlSnt from ueVelOplnS Ill inc
State Democratic Convention. it was
decided to hold the convention after
The primary.
Again in 1882 another rather de-
licatc situation existed, when j. c. 3.
Richard T. Fountain and
A. j. Maxwell were opposing each
other for the nomination for COVER
nor in a hot campaign, with the sales
tax and the short .Sallot' as issues.
So in an effort to keep the guberna-
torial fight out of the State conven-
ton and to prevent it's becoming
pep meeting for any of the candid
ates, the date of the State conven-
ton was again postponed until after
the primary.
This year. however, there is no in
dica.ion of any serious fight or pend
ing split within the Democratic party
here within the State. with the re-
suit that the prevailing belief is that
in the State primary would
not be affected one way or the other
if the State convention should be held
in April. say. In fact, many think that
the holding Of the convention before
the primary would help the State con-
vantion, as we'll as the candidates for
Congress, by serving to get Demo-
