BULWINKLE HEARD
BY ENTHUSIASTIC
CROWD AT OLD FORT

A large and enthusiastic crowd
of Mcdowell county citizens greet
ed Congressman A. L. Bulwinkle as
he opened the Democratic campaign
in Mcdowell county with a speech
at Old Fort Monday night.
Robt. W. Proctor, county chair
man, presided, and introduced the
county candidates who made brief
talks. I. L. Caplan, chairman of
the board of county commissioners
gave brief review of the financial
condition of the county showing
that the affairs of the county had
been handled in an efficient manner.
Major Bulwinkle, appearing in
his home district, said this may be
the most important election ever
held as there is much at stake. He
said "when we examine the record
of the Republican party, they don't
like to have their record brought to
light" He pointed out that no ef-
fort was made on the part of the
Republican party to give relief to
the people when they were in pow
er. He called attention to the state
of affairs when President Roosevelt
took over; unemployment, farms,
homes and places of business being
closed out with people in dire
straits.
Under the administration f
President Roosevelt, he said, bank
ing operation was guaranteed,
farms and home were saved and in
dustry helped, including small busi-
ness concerns. Aid was given to
the people, jobs supplied, roads and
parks built, public buildings and
school buildings, erected, giving
employment to many people.
Roosevelt saw" he said, "the
storm arising in Europe and advis-
ed congress and the people of i'm
pending danger, but the Republi-
cans opposed measures Of defense as
sponsored by the administration.
When President Roosevelt asked for
$4,000 planes year the Republi-
cans scoffed at the undertaking. To
date we have built more than 1885,
600 planes. We have built a large
navy, strong air force, a large,
we'll trained and equipped army
with proper means of transporta- )
ton. This army and navy is Win
ming and we are deeply indebted to
them for what they have done, and
yet the Republicans have never CIV
en- any credit or praise to the army
or navy for those in charge"
Major Bulwinkle said we are win
ming this war under trained leader.
ship and we want to win it as soon
as possible, but we do not want to
unnecessarily lose the lives of men
in the armed forces, so why change
leadership? He asked how Dewey
could be for the principles Of world
peace when those in charge of the
Republican party are against it.

Banquet Given
By Merchants
Thursday Night
Principal Address Made By
City Superintendent Hugh
Beam; Over 200 Attend.

The Merchants Association of Ma
rion sponsored banquet in the COM
munity building Thursday evening
with more than 200 employers and
employees present.
The ball room was decorated in
the Halloween motif, and tables
were centered with fruits and other
decorations in keeping with the har-
vest season.
The program opened with the
singing of "The More We Get To-
gether" and "America." This was
followed by an address of welcome
and Introduction of guests by D. w.
fainter, president
J. C. Rabb presented a most in
teresting discussion of the Merch-
ants Association relating to the
founding of the organization AMI
the progress and improvements that
have been made since it was estab-
lished.
H. F. Beam, superintendent Of
City Schools, made the principle ad-
dress of the evening on "The Heri-
tage of America" Mr.. Beam traced
briefly the early history of America
explaining that the fore fathers OF
America came to this country so that
they might enjoy the freedom Of
worship, freedom of speech and
freedom of assembly. He stated
that the heritage of the American
people is the most valuable thing
possessed by them and the most
worthy attribute to be handed down
to future generations.
In stressing the Importance of
this heritage he stated that it was
often accepted too complacently
without remembering the sacrifice it
had cost. He called attention to the
fact that the attack on Pearl Har-
Dor awakened Americans to the ad-
vantages and privileges of this heri-
tage and with it the responsibility
of continually guarding and protect
ing it at any cost, even being will
ing to die for it.
ut is the biggest and most price
less thing to be handed down to our
posterity," Mr.. Beam said.
He also said that America had
fought five major wars to retain
these rights and privileges. He list
ed and briefly outlined the American
Revolution, War of 1912, Mexican
War, Spanish War and concluded
with the statement that World War
| was fought for the purpose of Civ
ing democracy to all people of the
world and inasmuch as this plan
failed, American boys were now
fighting on probably 1000 battle
fronts in World War II.
In closing, he reached the climax
of his address by expressing his be-
lief that with the help of everyone
on the home front, with the efforts
Of the men on the battlefronts, and
with the faith of our fore fathers
and the help of God, the war for
freedom will surely be won.
The evenings entertainment was
brought to a close with square
dance.
