The fifth district Democrats met in Greensboro and nominated A L Brooks on the first ballot with 182 1136 votes amid a heated contest. A lengthy battle sought to disqualify some ballots and involved trials of townships in Stokes and Surry.
The convention faced a heated dispute over Dobson township’s ballot and a technical challenge. Lawyers from Surry sided with their communities as W F Carter W L Reece S P Graves and W E Holton argued for fairness. The room, after speeches, named Bricks by a single ballot and adjourned with Prof J Allen Holt pledging loyalty to the party choice.
The speaker says bitterness within the party could doom the ticket if Democrats refuse to back the convention's choice, urging loyal supporters to act and abide by the will of the people.
Writings praise countymen in a Greensboro contest and condemn opposing influence while honoring civic virtue. Miss Mary Pope O Durham plans a Franklin Street visit as The Winston-Salem Journal provides candidate pictures. A gum tree removal order affects Dobson townships, and church lawn party plans fund a new Presbyterian building.
