Glenn or Overman for Senate in 1920
The Waiau ga Democrat endorses Governor Glenn as a likely U.S. Senate candidate but urges voters to back Overman first, praising his first term while criticizing political turnover. A Fayetteville police chief was shot by Sam Murchison, who was captured and jailed, with two prior murder attempts and militia around the jail. The issue also covers local events in Blowing Rock and Lincolnton, including church convocation, a Washington birthday Dramatic Association performance, and a push for state prohibition.
