Bar urges governor to renew High Point Municipal Court judge
The High Point Bar Association asks Governor Hodges to continue appointing the presiding judge of the Municipal Court. They argue the 1927 special legislation gave the court concurrent powers with the Superior Court, justifying gubernatorial appointment to preserve its authority. They urge prompt action for the court, the governor, and the appointed judge.

Tumulty the Changeable Giant of the New Congress
Rep. T. James Tumulty of New Jersey, a 42 year old Democrat and 350 pound figure, draws attention for his size and sharp wit. He switched from the Hague machine to Kenny’s circle, changed his name from James Thomas, and says he ran at Kenny’s orders to claim victory by appealing to older voters. He jokes that his speeches won over crowds while facing hecklers, and notes his momentum will likely yield two years of notoriety and influence on Capitol Hill.
