Raleigh, April 27.-Those experts
who are freely predicting very
small vote III the North Carolina pri-
mary on May IS are more than like
ly in for 4 big surprise when the
returns come in.
Estimates that the vote will run
from 100000 to 100000 are being
freely and frequently made and, ii is
conceded, with great show of logic.
However, in making these predic-
lions some of the predicterS are
working on mistaken premises.
Homer was known to nod, It's said,
and even the usually accurate AssO-
ciated Press came out Thursday with
dn amazing mis-statement Of the 1898
Senatorial vote. In by-lined story
Of Joynes McFarlan it was stated
that there were All, ola votes in the
Democratic primary for United
States Senator in 1888. AS matter
81 fact there were 5l2,470 votes cast
in the ACCOMPLISHMENTS contest of
that year, 3l3,3l6 for the incumbent
senator and l97,l54 for Hancock. If
i story Can be fOrty-odd thousand
votes wrong on an election which is
already matter Of record, it CAM
not be given too much credence as a
prophecy Ci Wnal IS TO happen in an
election still four weeks off.
Reasons Of the Smaii-vote predict
ers have been the repeal of the abb
sentee ballot, the new registration in
nearly tWO-thwdS Of the North Car
Gina counties and the general apathy
which is SAID TO prevail.
The contrary view is that the abb
sentee repeal will hurt only little
as those who previously voted by
proxy will this time 60 to the polls;
that the efforts Of the organizations
Of six gubernatorial candidates will
get the voters registered; and that
there isn't nearly as much real
apathy as some profess to see.
There has been observed in North
Carolina, as well as other states, d
growing interest in government and
politics; this growth in interest be-
ing logically followed by pickup
in the number Of votes cast in cleo
tons.
Evidence Of this fact was giVer
quite clearly in 1888. 1t was then sale
on all sides that there wasn't any
interest in the Reynolds-Hancocl
race, it being generally assumed tina
Our Bob" would win about as easily
as ne did. Therefore, il was predicted
two years ago, there will be tire.
mendous drop from the total OF some
thing more than $4,000 votes cas-
in the rrirst gubernatorial primary o
1896.
There was genuine astonishmen
when the final tally showed onl.
some four thousand fell off from tnC
SO peak.
That is quite likely to :lapp'.
again. Certainly the fact that ther
are seven (siX of them taken NOR
or less seriously) candidates for Gov
ernor ought to increase rather thai
decrease the normal vote.
It's a very good bet that if yo1

Raleigh, Feb. l6.-TWelve regional
meetings, so arranged that no NUM-
cipal official will have to travel more
than As miles to reach at least one
have been announced by League OF
Municipalities Secretary Patrick
Healy, Jr., for the latter part OF
March,
The meetings, Healy said, will be
held jointly by the League with the
Association of County Commission
ers, in an effort TO get the two or
carnations together on full leglsla-
tive program to be presented to the
l941 General Assembs'.
AS organizations, neither the Mum
League nor the Commissioners group
will officially support or fight any
particular candidate for the legsla-
ture, but it is an OBVIOUS fact that
individual municipal officials and
county commissioners will help OF
hurt the candidates who are for or
against the program which will be
adopted.

meetings: Durham, March IA; Rocky
