The race was cllmaXoQ yesterday
by the statement of Landess l..
White, county clerk, that he was
prepared to certify total of 1886
votes for Mr.. Brown in Grant Coun-
ty, wiping out the Townsendite's
two-vote margin.
Mr.. White said that his canvass
sheet showed that total for Mr..
Brown, instead of the 1915 previous
ly credited to him.
Duplicate Sheet Missing
Observers who were positive that
the latter figure had been made
available to them last week asked
a recheck and subsequently meet.
ing Of the Grant County election
commissioners was called.
The commissioners produced
sealed tally sheet from the third
precinct, Franklin Township, Grant
County, which credited Mr.. Brown
with SO votes instead of the Sc re-
corded on the canvassing sheet
The duplicate of the tally sheet
was missing, the commissioners said,
and they added it would be almost
impossible to determine who had
made the change on the canvasSing
sheet since more than 500 persons
have handled the sheet since it was
made up.
Regardless of the outcome of the
official tabulation, a recount of all
the votes in the district was pre-
dicted. James P. Fulton, Hartford
City, district chairman, has asked
that all votes be preserved.

spoke personally from the House
floor today, reading letter from
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor in an
effort to rally Administration forces
against the $3,000,000,000 Frazier
Lemke farm imitation bill.
Green's letter placed the Amer
lean Federation of Labor on record
against the bill and urged friends
of labor in the House to vote
against the bill.
The speakers decision to speak
against the measure indicated that
the leadership seriously was worried
over prospects that the bill might
pass, despite earlier predictions that
1t would be defeated later today by
so votes.

Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-08-04

II he lived on Charles or Church
street, hence, he SHOULD not wish it
upon his neighbor or fellow man, this
thing should have had a vote of the
people, it should now be stopped and
some action taken to learn of it's I'M
popularity. The fact is, I am opposed
to spending as much as $50, 100000 on
anything, some conservative men have
stated they believe IS percent of the
people in Henderson are opposed to
1t, believe a vote would disclose
twenty to one against it.
The meanest thing I have learned
yet is the fact that some are talking
1t that in case the underpass is not
sustained that another fire depart
ment must be stationed on the other
|:Side- of the railroad to protect the
property insurance rates or such rates
will be increased, when there is no
grounds for such claims since I have
made diligent inquiry and been told
it is not true.
At Church-Charles street intersec-
lions with Garnett-William it is the
lowest, to appearances, and will af-
ford the most difficult and unwise
point of advantage for the project
and would make it almost impossible
to extricate surface water, water
seepage, sewerage & etc.
One great reason for me not wish
ing to foolishly and needlessly spend
$3.50, 100000 is due to the fact that
have recently learned that there are
incarcerated in our common jails in
North Carolina, after filling the pro-
per places for such unfortunate per-
sons, 1877 poor and to be pittied I'M
fortunate feeble minded persons, these
languishing there and not so much as
knowing why they are detained there
but longing for some comforts and
probably without ever seeing the face
of other than the bailiff who locks
them in each night and day. Come
over into Macedonia and help U.S."
| Another reason for my not wanting
the damable thing is, we will be worse
off with it than without it. Added to
it's initial cost, the worry and in
convenience that must inevitably fol-
low it's inception, its maintenance,
together. with it's utter. uselessness,
even though it did not cost penny
of anyone's money should make it
prohibitive.

OTHERS VIEWS
TO VOTE FOR GRISSOM.


To the Editor:
The News and Observer of July 18th
and 22nd carried two articles of mine.
entitled, would Administer Rebuke''
and Says Party Is Hopeless" The
News and Observer, July 22nd also
carried an editorial. entitled, Worth
Considering" clearly aimed at the DO
sition l took in these articles. The
editors note to my article, July 18th
says: mr.. Palmer expresses a view
which the editor of the News and OBJ
server regards as dangerous and mis-
guided In these articles I said that
Mr.. IIoey and forces back of him do
not represent true democracy and I
called upon the 215,O0O Mcdonald sup
porters to beat Hoey with Grissom for
Governor November Bird. The News
and Observer in it's editorial clearly
defended party solidarity instead of
party reform. Thousands of us for
mer Democrats who will support Gill
liam Grissom for Governor November
3, believe that the News and Obser-
ver's position of party solidarity at
all costs is a dangerous doctrine.
Even though this paper is the chief
party organ in North Carolina, yet
when it sees that all liberalism within
the party is buried with the nominal
ton of Hoey, it should defend it's
boosted liberalism through the years
by a stronger stand than it has shown
SO far.
Since the publication of my article,
letters have been pouring in from all
over the State from former Demo
Gratis who like me will work and vote
for Grissom for Governor.
Hoey stands for keeping the sales
tax so that certain wealthy corpora
tons can reduce their tax by putting
it on the bread ticket of an i'm
poverished people. Grissom and his
party stand for the outright repeal of
the sales tax. Hoey is for keeping the
absentee ballot law. Grissom stands
for its repeal. Hoey wants to keep the
six percent income tax limitation in
Constitution. Such provision shields
the big incomes of his clients from an
increased income rate. Hoey, judging
from his speeches in campaign, is OPP
posed to the proposed constitutional
amendment whereby homesteads to
the value of $1,000 may be exempted
from taxation. Grissom is in favor of
both of these constitutional reforms.
In short Grissom is the liberal can
didate and should on this account get
sufficient support from McDonald's
supporters to elect him Governor.
Hoey is too close to the power textile
and tobacco corporations to really re-
present the small home owners and
laboring man. Hoey is no more in
sympathy with a liberal Democracy
in North Carolina than Mark Han
ma, Quay, Penrose or Ogden Mills.
On account of the above contrast in
candidates, again repeat as in News
and Observer: LET the thousands of
liberals who supported Mcdonald now
beat Hoey with Grissom. Let the bat
tie cry be Grissom for Governor in
November"

Aug. 4, 1583-The first recorded
Protestant religious rights were per-
formed in the western hemisphere.
Holy Communion according to
Church of England rites was held in
the harbor of st. Johns, Newfound-
land, by orders of Admiral Sir Hum
phrey Gilbert, leader of the first
English colonization expedition to
America. He had brought his fleet
into the harbor that day and formal
ly proclaimed the island British ter

Newfoundland, where British con-
quest of Canada started, still refuses

: Aug. 4, 1792-Percy Bysshe Shelley

poems which persons have been re-
citing ever since. before he was Is.
No one could have sounded worse re-
citing Shelley's poems than Shelley,
for contemporaries agree that he had
a speaking voice extremely disson-
ant.
Discordant, too, were his expert
ences to love, the subject about which
he wrote his bestowed verse. When
he had gone off to live with Mary
Goodwin, he invited his wife to stay
with them. She didn't but Shelley's
friend Byron nonchalently sent an
acquaintance to live with them and
bear his child. Shelley took care of
this daughter for years, while trying
futilely to induce Byron to provide
for her.
Shelley's own children by his first
wife were in the meantime kept from
him, on the legal ground that their
father held opinions with regard to
marriage injuries to the best inter-
ests of society" Eventually these opin
ions changed, for he married Mary.
Meanwhile, he had introduced her
to the novels of the American Charles
B. Browne who similarly influence
ed Poe) and she was inspired by
them to write the famous Franken-
stein.

New York, Aug. "A Days
Dilemmas:
How to answer the telegram from
California: Did You Really Mean
What You Said July 25th?". You
know there are sometimes variations
in release dates and so you thumb
meantime one about revolution in
Spain or the one about Gypsy Rose
Lee. You give up.
= *I#
What to do about the letter asking
for names and addresses of all the
restaurants in New York" You are
sure that if you forward a sheaf of
pages from the telephone red book
cafe section, you will be charged with
revolving levity.
How to meet the situation caused
by the note: II am sending you the
manuscripts of IS short stories. You
can fewrite these in any way you like
and we'll split $780,"
What to say to the press agent who
calls you at a. m. to demand that
you rush right over to Zilchs cafe to
see the deaf-and-dumb orchestra lead
er who plays the trombone with his
ears.
The right retort to make to the
young liberal who says: "Of course,
we believe in absolutely free speech,
although we can see how in Russia
it has been necessary to forbid the
saying of certain things by certain
people,"
How to reply to the letter which
says, II am enclosing a poem about
two lovers in the American Express
Office in Shanghai, China, during war
time. It will just fit your column nice
ly hope to see it by day after to-
morrow at the latest I have told all
my friends you were running it."
The proper way to handle the young
man who smuggles himself into your
office with the information that he
is willing to do a few months of "hack
work" for newspapers, provided the
honorarium is sufficient, while he is
writing the Great American Novel on
the side.
What to say to the correspondent
who writes: II understand you an
swer all reasonable requests, and so
| am writing to ask you to send me
copies of all columns in which you
have mentioned well-known people
who have hobbies. I am writing an
article about hobbies Of well-l
people"
How to wiggle out of the following
predicament: A nice old lady who
knows your great-aunt, appears in
the outer office and says she will on
ly be in town one afternoon, and will
you kindly escort her to all the poin
of interest in greater New York. It
happens to he day so busy that IS
hours wouldn't be enough.
The right response to the letter
which says: II am an enthusiastic
reader of your column. Now, have a
proposition for you. I am editor of
my high school paper and I am told
that you fellows always hire some
body to write your columns for you.
