supporter of the Mcdonald philoso-
ply should be before the voters
this spring.
The second group which does not
include Senator Lumpkin himself so
far as your reporter is aware, cares
little, if anything about GradyS
success or failure. Its members want
to beat Cooley with Lumpkln ana
figure they can do it if the Frank
lin man can be definitely tied IN
with the Johnstonian. Lumpkin cam
not make much of dent in the
Cooley vote in either Johnston or
Wake on his own account but on
a ticket with Grady he might be
much closer to winner in those
two units.
Lumpkin concededly could sweep
his own county, Grady or no Grady,
but would run much stronger in
Nash if he could get Itimous Valen-
tine interested in campaign 10
knife Cooley in his home county.
In the third group are those who
are engineering a Stop Broughton
movement. They figure that with
no Grady candidacy and the NC
Donald group actively for Brough--
ton. the Raleigh attorney will get
at least 5000 to 5000 more votes in
Johnston than if Grady is in the
race getting them himself. They
figure, too, that unless Grady runs,
the big Eskridge family influence
in Cleveland county will cast any
where from 1900 to 1000 Brough-
ton votes. All of which adds up
to something like 10000 in the two

but it did not show up in the index

Also, officials said, present index

A decline in the index was pre-
