PUBLICATIONS OF THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE LIBRARY ^ North Carolina Manual . 1939 COMPILED AND EDITED BY H. M. LONDON LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE LIBRARIAN RALEIGH 1939 PREFACE This volume is issued by the North Carolina Legislative Ref- erence Library in order to furnish in succinct form information about the State, its government and institutions, which other- wise would require much investigation in many different sources. Unless otherwise stated, the data in each case is the latest available. Similar manuals were issued by the Secretary of State in 1903, 1905, and 1907, and by the North Carolina Historical Commission in 1909, 1911, 1913, 1915, 1917, 1919, 1921, 1923, 1925, 1927, 1929, and by the Legislative Reference Library in 1931, 1933, 1935, and 1937. The demand for these volumes has been so great that all previous editions have been exhausted. :,^^ C4 ^ CONTENTS Page Official Register for 1939-1940 7 The Legislative Department: Officers and Members of the Senate 15 Senators (Arranged Alphabetically) 15 Senators (Arranged by Districts) 16 Senatorial Districts 18 Rules of the Senate. 1939 19 Standing Committees of the Senate 31 Officers and Members of the House of Representatives... 36 Representatives (Arranged Alphabetically) 36 Representatives (Arranged by Counties) 39 Rules of the House of Representatives 42 Standing Committees of the House of Representatives.... 57 New State Boards and Commissions: Probation Commission 67 Bureau of Identification and Investigation 69 Alcoholic Control Board 70 Gas and Oil Inspection Board 71 Platforms and Political Parties, 1938: State Democratic Platform 73 State Republican Reform 81 Election Returns: Popular and Electoral Vote for President by Stales, 1936 89 Popular Vote for President by States, 1924. 1928,1932.... 90 Vote for President by Counties, 1920-1936 92 Vote for Governor by Counties, Democratic Primaries 1932 and 1936 95 Vote for United States Senator an.d Utilities Commis- sioner in Democratic Primaries June 4, 1938 98 Vote for State Officers in Democratic Primaries, 1928. 1930, 1932, 1934, 1936 and 1938 100 [5J 6 Contents Page Democratic Primary Vote, June 6. 1936. for United States Senator 102 Democratic Primary Vote, June 4 and July 2. 1932, for United States Senator 104 Vote for Associate Justice and Utilities Commissioner, November 8, 1938 106 Vote for Governor by Counties, 1920-1936 108 Vote for United States Senator. 1926-1938 HI Vote for Congressmen in Democratic Primary, June 4, 1938 by Districts H'l Vote for Congressmen in Second Democratic Primary, 117 July 1. 1938 Vote for Members of Congress, 1926-1938 118 Vote on Constitutional Amendments 130 Biographical Sketches: Executive Officials 135 Justices of the Supreme Court 142 United States Senators 148 Representatives in Congress 150 Members of the General Assembly 156 OFFICIAL REGISTER FOR 1939-1940 LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT W.
