PUBLICATIONS OF THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE LIBRARY « NORTH CAROLINA MANUAL 1935 ¥ COMPILED AND EDITED BY H. M. LONDON LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE LIBRARIAN "03 RALEIGH 1935 PREFACE Tlis volume is issued by the North Carolina Legislative Reference Library in order to furnish in succinct form information about the State, its government and institutions, which otherwise would re- quire much investigation in many different sources. Unless other- wise stated, the data in each case is the latest available. Similar manuals were issued by the Secretary of State in 1903, 1005, and 1007. and by the North Carolina Historical Commission in 1009. 1011. 1013, lOir,. 1017. 101b. L921, 1923, 1925, 1927, 1929 and 1931 and 1033. The demand for these -volumes has been so great that all editions except those of 1925 and 1927 have been exhausted. The cut in the 1030-10:;i and 1931-1933 and 1933-1935 appropria- tions for printing, as a result of the general condition of Slate finances, has compelled a sharp reduction in the size and scope of the 193i and 1033 and 1935 editions of the Manual. The sections, "Executive Departments." "Judicial Department," "State Depart- ments, Hoards and Commissions." "Slate Charitable and Correctional Institutions." "Miscellaneous." and "Constitutions," which are found in previous editions, have been omitted. bo > CONTENTS PAGE Official Register for 1933-1034 7 The Legislative Department : Officers and Members of the Senate 13 Senators (Arranged Alphabetically) 13 Senators (Arranged by Districts) 14 Senatorial Districts 15 Rules of the Senate, 1935 IT Standing Committees of the Senate 28 Officers and Members of the House of Representatives 32 Representatives (Arranged Alphabetically) 32 Representatives (Arranged by Counties) 34 Rules of the House of Representatives 38 Standing Committees of the House of Representatives 52 New State Boards and Commissions: Building Code Council 59 State Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners 59 State Board of Housing GO North Carolina State Thrift Society 60 Board of Law Examiners 61 State School Commission 62 State Highway and Public Works Commission 63 Utilities Commission 64 •Platforms and Political Parties, 1934: '' Republican State Platform ,; Democratic State Platform ~1 Election Returns : Popular and Electoral Vote for President by States, 1932 7'.' v " Popular Vote for President by States, 1020-102S s Vote for President by Counties. 1920-1932 - Vote by Comities for Governor in Democratic Primaries, 1924 and 1932 s: ' Vote for State Utilities Commissioner in Democratic Primary v; June 2. 1934 6 Contents PAGE Vote for State Officers in Democratic Primaries 1928, L980, 1932, L934 SS -, Democratic Primary Voir. .lunr 7, 19. >0, for United States Senator 89 Democratic Primary Vote, June 4. and July 2, 1932, for United Slate Senator, short term 90 Vote for Chief Justice—General Election, November, 1934 92 Vote for Governor by Counties, 1920-1932 93 Vote for United States Senator. 1924-1932 95 Vote for Congressmen in Democratic Primary.
