Confidence Of His
Nomination on 9th
Declares He is Not Vague Like
Hoey Nor Promising Too
Much Like Mcdonald

t t-e &
Sandy Graham expressed conf
dence in an address i'm Lexington
last week that ''the Democratic vot-
ers of North Carolina win nominate
me for governor"
Graham said he had heard ssmost
favorable reports concerning my
candidacy, enough to convince that
the tide has turned toward me. My
opponents have been losing ground
by their failure to make clear their
stand on the vital issues of the cam
paign."
He ascrihed improvement in, his
chances to "a realization on the part
of the voters that I am the middle
of-the-road candidate, unidentified
with the old order which has ruled
the State for years, and yet not
radical"
Graham reiterated his stand for:
Immediate repeal of the sales tax
on food and the necessities of life;
social security legislation by the
State to put North Carolina in line
with Federal enactments for old age
pensions and unemployment insur-
ance: increased appropriations for
he school system to provide higher
salaries, decrease in the teacher
load, and ten days of sick leave with
pay for all teachers"
Reorganization of the highway
department with an 11-member COM
mission, one from each congression-
al district; immediate repairs to the
secondary roads to the State by en-
ployment of extra forces; transfer of
he highway patrol from the revenue
department to the highway commits
sion's jurisdiction; and county option
as the best solution of the LIQUOR
question with the stores be operat-
d by the counties"
He said DR.. Rolph Mcdonald, one
of his rivals, promises to much"
while Clyde R. Hoey, another, is
$50 vague in his platform statement
the voters cannot tell where he
stands on any of the vital issues"
He sssailed the State administra-
ton for failure to call a special ses-
sion of the Legislature to deal with
social security, repeal. of the sales
tax in part, and the tobacco compact
measure.
