RALEIGH, Jan. 29.--LP-Paul D.
Grady of Kenly, advocating a state
wide referendum on liquor and re-
peal Of the three per cent sales tax,
today announced his candidacy fol-
governor of North Carolina.
Grady was the sixth democrat to
enter the race, topping the previous
record number by two. At least one
other person-Willis Smith of Ra-
leigh-is expected to seek the nomi
nation, which is tantamount to cleo
ton.
Other Candidates
Other candidates are Thomas E
Cooper of Wilmington, who an.
nounced yesterday, and J. M. Brough
ton of Raleigh, L. Lee Gravely o.
Rocky Mount, w. P. Horton o.
Pittsboro and A. J. Maxwell of Ra-
leigh.
Grady's stand on liquor was SINH
lar to that of dry leaders, expressed
in the last two sessions of the gen
eral assembly. The prohibitionists
opponents of the present county op
ton system, have asserted that 6
statewide referendum would result
in an overwhelming majority against
liquor.
If elected governor, Grady said, he
would recommend the referendum al
the earliest possible date"
SHOULD the people decide in favor
of liquor control, I pledge myself. .

is carried out" Grady said. "Shoulc
