Raleigh. Feb. 23-"Guilford is out of
luck, and will continue to stay out of
luck until it can unite enough to give
some candidate about 10000 of it's A.
900 votes" an Alamance politician OF
more than local fame and renown told
YOUR correspondent in discussing out
look for the sixth district congress
sional race He asked that his name
be not used, because of the fact that
he is actively in the political battling,
though he is not now a candidacy for
any office.
This chap expressed the personal
opinion that Oscar Barker, Durham's
only announced candidate for Bill
Umsteads seat, will come through
with flying colors.
He cited the fact that Durham will
probably give its favortie son at least
50 per cent of it's vote. Too, he add
ed, Orange and Alamance are almost
forced to vote with Durham whether
they want to or not. This, he said is
because these two are in the same
State senatorial and the same judicial
district as the Bull City.
And so if we want to get anything,
we have to play ball with Durham"
he said. Right now we want to
elect Leo Carr judge of the tenth dis
trict. If we don't support Durham's
candidate for Congress, where do you
suppose Durham's judicial vote is go
ing?"
