Gary, Ind. May lot is with
deepest remorse that | sit down
and pen these few lines in remem-
brancc of my friend and every
ones friend,
Miss MASY KELLNER
who by Gods Will has passed
from us to the green pastures.
Mary Kellner quietly departed
from this world of turmoil on
Monday morning just before day
break. Throughout Gary passed
the word and Monday indeed was
very dark and gloomy for one of
our young Saxons departed from
us.
Throughout Gary and the Eas-
tern states Mary was known as a
grand and joyous person. During
the last years she attended the
Junior Conventions where she
made numerous friends.
As a worker in the Junior club
highest regard must be accorded
her for the spendid cooperation
she gave. Throughout the years
no task did she refuse. The Gary
Juniors have lost a very good
friend and loyal Saxon and will
treasure her remembrance, for
years to come.
Mary was born in Gary on
September oath, 1915. She re-
ceived her religious instruction
and was member until her death
at the Hontercs Lutheran Church
She is survived by her parents,
her brother Steve. her sister Mrs.
Albach and countless relatives
and friends. She was also a men,
ber of the Saxon Ladies Society
All Saxons and friends join the
Juniors in expressing their deep
est and sincerest sympathy to the
bereaved family.

How can you keep them down

Horton Spokesman Says
Maxwell's Manager Of

RALEIGH, May 27-R-Indica-
tons that the state administration

would be split wide open by the
second primary gubernatorial
campaign were een in realign-
ments today which followed in the
wake of Saturdays first primary
election.
The gubernatorial run-off will be
h e d June % between j. M.
Broughton of Raleigh, who led the
seven-man Democratic field, and
the runner-up, Lieut.. Gov. w. P.
Horton of Pittsboro.
Any doubt that Horton would
call for the run-off election was
dispelled tonight, when the Lieu
tenant Governor told newspaper
men:
Come what may, there will be
a second primary, and gentlemen,
I don't mind saying that it's every
man for himself"
Revenue Commissioner A. J.
Maxwell of Raleigh, who finished
third in the race, last night urged
Horton not to call for a second
primary, but to concede the NOM
ination to Broughton.
Refusing to ''concede anything
Horton made it plain tonight that
even if Maxwell supported Brough-
ton, many Maxwell workers would
join the Horton campaign head
quarters.
A spokesman in Horton head
quarters said that Burgin Pencil
of Asheville, Maxwell state man.
ager, had been offered a job as
Horizons state co-manager, and
that Ronald Wilson of Raleigh,
associate manager, was
expected to join the Horton forces.
Pencil and Wilson declines to
comment.
Will Decide Today
Mrs. w. B. Murphy of Snow Hill,
Women's manager of MaxWell's
campaign, said she would decide
tomorrow whether she would team
up with the Horton or the Brough-
ton workers. She added that she
definitely would remain actively
in the campaign"
Governor Hoey, who played a
strictly neutral roll in the first
primary campaign, indicated that
he would remain neutral through
the run-off, but he declined to be
directly on the subject.

On this basis some observers argue
that not England-for which domina-

a springboard-but the French army,
standing between the Germans and
Paris, must face the next blows OF
the Reich's military fists.
