The year 1928 was strong in
the minds of North Carolina
Democrats and Republicans to-
day, with the day of decision
in the 1948 political campaign
at hand.
Tomorrow the people of the
state will give the final verdict
in the most intensive-and con-
fusing-campaign the State has
seen in the 20 years since 1929.
They'll write the answer on
the general election ballots
which they'll cast between $50
a. m. and $50 p. m. in the
states 1859 precincts.
The year 1928 looms large be-
cause it was then that repel-
lious Democrats turned from
their presidential nominee, Al
fred E. Smith, and helped give
the states electoral vote to Re-
publican Herbert Hoover. That
year also the State sent two
Republicans to Congress.
In 1948, heartened by dissen-
sion in Democratic ranks over
President Truman's civil rights
proposals, COP leaders. have put
forth unusual campaign efforts
in hopes that they can swing

the states electoral vote from
Mr.. Truman to Gov. Thomas e.
Dewey.
Another factor in the new po-
itical look in the state is the
presence on the ballot, for the
first time since 1882, of tickets
other than then traditional derao-
cratic and republican states.
The drain of votes which
these two new parties-States
Rights Democrats and Progress
sives-will take from the old
line particles is expected to be
felt more by the Democrats
than by the Republicans.
The States Rights Democrats
are offering only one state the
presidential ticket of Gov. j.
Strom Thurmond and Gov.
Fielding Wright. The Progress
sives, in addition to offering
Henry A. Wallace for President
and Senator Glen H. Taylor for
Vice President, are running
candidates for Congress and
some State offices.
Observers generally agree,
however, that the real race fer
the States IA electoral votes
will be between the Democrats
will be close.

The debt limitation amend

For example, this county can
not extend its debt limit beyond

would eliminate the two-thirds

North Caroline Voters Will Decide
Fate Of Four Proposed Amendments

North Carolina voters on Tues
day will be given an opportun-
ity not only to cast their ballots
for the candidates of their choice
but will have a chance to vote
on four proposed amendments
to the North Carolina Constitu-
ton, changes which may be of
great Importance to the state as
a whole.
The four issues on which vot-
ing will be done are the Follow
ing: ~ an amendment for fix
ing the salaries of members OF
the General Assembly at $1,000
instead of the present $500 and
increasing the compensation for
special sessions; (2) an amend
ment designed to remove the
debt limitation on the state coun-
ties and municipalities for nee
essary expenses; (3) an amend
ment for increasing the amount
Of total State and county tax
which may be levied on proper
ty by changing the limitation
from fifteen cents on the $1OO
valuation to twenty-five cents;
az an amendment for determin-
ing the results of special elec-
tons by a majority of the vote
cast.
The first amendment is aimed
at increasing the amount of sal
ary allowed to legislators dur
ing the General Assembly and
is the first change in compen-
sation since 1928 At present
the legislators receive $500 per
session, while presiding officers
are allowed 500. It has been

RALElGH, November l.
North Carolina will give a clear,
though narrow, majority to the
regular Democratic Truman
Barkley presidential ticket; will
elect the regular Democratic
nominee for all state offices by
{ .,proximately three-to-two ma
jorities; will return to the ma
tional congress a completely
Democratic delegation, and will
hold Republican membership in
the state house of representa-
tives to twenty or less.
That prediction made on cleo
ton eve is based on information
obtained from personal visits to
all sections of the state and in
terviews with people from every
county during the past sixty
days, much of it double-check-
ed by telephone or letter within
the past week.
The total vote will be the lar
gest ever cast in the state, if
scouts of this department have
acurcately gagged sentiment.
Chances are rated slim for a
vote in excess of 900, 900 despite
efforts of party workers to push
million. The western half of
the state will almost certainly
break all voting records, but the
east has shown inclination o
bypass the general election to
as great-perhaps greater-ed-
tent than usual. Two years ago
the first congressional district
voted 11,201 votes IN the general
election for congress, while the
twelfth district with comparable
voted 72,221. In 194z, latest pre-.
sidential year, the first district
voted 36,288 while the twelfth
came through with 81,007.
The twelfth, eleventh, tenth
and ninth districts are expected
to break all voting records ir
1913. Because of some disaffec.
ton with the national platform
there is probability Of lighter
than normal vote in the east
