Your Vote Is The Most Important

IN any election there are always cur
rents and cross-currents, charges and
counter-charges, and truth and fiction.
The Democratic Primary election today
(Tuesday) is no exception.
Several months ago it was openly
spoken that candidate A. E. S. Stephens
was going to withdraw from the race.
Apparently the reason for that rumor
was that Stephens had nothing to offer
the voters that Candidate Albertis S.
Harrison did not already posses.
Since that time, Stephens has taken
up the shield Of the liberals, adopted
a ''liberal' running mate for Lt-Gov-
ernor, and popular and politically I'M
known law professor as running mate
for Attorney General. These moves by
Stephens, a former Byrd-man, has made
him formidable candidate All of the
liberal, and also the anti-Byrd or
CARNATIONS, such as the NAACP and
labor unions, have thrown him their
support Stephens has also maintained
some support from his old political
allies, friends he has made while he was
Lt.-Governor for the past three terms.
Stephens has used Prince Edward
County as his whipping boy" in num-
Der of speeches. We make the not-so-
difficult deduction that one Of Stephens
main projects will be to work against
this county and other counties in
Southside Virginia.
One of Stephens statements is that

one will have to pay.
The business of worry does not con-
fine itself to international and national
affairs. In the realm of personal liv-
ing, there are those who are greatly
concerned lest the rest of the human
race go to the dogs. They are worried
about the antics of youth and the
dwindling Importance of the home. At
other times, they are concerned with
the fundamental decline in character,
as expressed in human living, and the
lack of sincerity and honesty among
the people they know.
1t might be we'll to suggest that much
of the insecurity that one hears describ-
ed as threat to the on-going of man.
kind exists in the minds of individuals.
The man or woman, who has acquired a
philosophy, as life presents it's tidbits,
trials and tribulations, has a founda-
ton upon which to stand regardless of
the way the world goes.

he will confer with Prince Edward
officials on the school situation here.
Having been Lt.-Governor for the past
three terms should have given Stephens
ample opportunity to confer with
Prince Edward officials, but to our
knowledge he has yet to take any in
terest in this area whatsoever What
has he been doing for the past three
terms?
OBVIOUSLY STEPHENS MUST
NOT BE ELECTED!
Political observers concede that AL
bertis S. Harrison will easily get the
majority vote in the fourth and fifth
districts, of which, area counties are a
part. However the important thing is
the size of the majority We, who sup
port Mr.. Harrison, must make every
effort to cast our vote This is an i'm
portant contest.
Each vote that we can muster will
help off set Stephens vote elsewhere
in the State. The new Governor will be
elected by a majority vote throughout
the State, and not by districts.
1t is imperative that every qualified
voter in this area go to the polls today
(Tuesday). Your vote for Harrison
COMMUNICATION is the most important
vote that can be cast. Vote early and
ask your friends and neighbors to be
sure and vote. Your state and party
need your support

bill which would have barred
Washington banks and trust
companies from serving as
executors or administrators of
estates in Maryland is being
quietly laid to rest in the Gen.

Other actions yesterday af-

Party Lag Cited
Veteran observers here said
the Republican leadership has
been in no rush to ratify the
amendment. Since the Senate
approval in January, the reso-
luton sat dormant within the
judiciary Committee until the
Democratic minority, as we'll as
pressure from District sup
porters, forced today's hearing.
/ The District amendment,
these observers say, has held
little interest for the legislators.
Many of them did not even
know about it, and members of
the Judiciary Committee
seemed ignorant of many of
the salient features of the
amendment.
The main legislation facing
New Hampshire today is a con-
troversial SIS head tax, and the
House was due to debate this
for most of day. The House
will adjourn at the close of to-
days meeting until Tuesday

The urban lawmakers finally
broke the reapportionment bill
loose from its rule book trap
yesterday through a parlia-

Mr.. Wilkinson's office.
The bill, which would add 81
members to the House of Dele

in the House for five days
through a series of delaying
tactics by rural legislators from
the Eastern Shore.
Mr.. Wilkinson, Democratic
Floor Leader A. Gordon Boone
and several other legislative
leaders met before yesterdays

which sprung the bill loose
for a preliminary vote.
Delayed by Amendments

had delayed the vote by Offer
