Watauga Democrat

WARREN TO SPEAK HERE THURSDAY

Democratic Candidate for State Senate Will Deliver Anti-Sales Tax Address. Courtney and Paul Leonard Also on Program.

Hon. Dalton Warren of Alleghany County, Democratic Senatorial nominee from the 29th District will speak at the courthouse Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in opposition to the 3 per cent. sales tax.

The Watauga Unit of the Fair Tax Association is sponsoring the mass meeting and feels fortunate in having been able to secure Mr. Warren for a place on the program. A native of Mississippi, Mr. Warren taught in the schools of Alleghany for many years, later went into the mercantile business and received the senatorial nomination in the June primary on an anti-sales tax platform. He is said to have won the preferment without the support of the politicians, and is known as a forceful and logical speaker. Since Watauga County is in his district, considerable interest attaches to his first appearance here.

Mr. H. W. Courtney, prominent business man of Lenoir, will also appear on the program, and J. Paul Leonard of Statesville, secretary of the State organization asking for sales tax repeal, will be present and likely speak briefly.

The local association is especially anxious that there be a large attendance, and promise that the issues facing the electorate as regards taxation, will be discussed in able and straightforward fashion.
