A.W. McLean Celebrates 52nd Birthday at Home, Then Back on Campaign Trail, April 21, 1924

A.W. McLean Celebrates His 52nd Birthday at Home. . . He Will Leave Tomorrow on a Swing Around the Northeastern Counties

Angus Wilton McLean, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, celebrated his 52nd birthday yesterday at his home here, a birthday cake adorning the dinner table in honor of the event.

Mr. McLean returned home Saturday night from Goldsboro, where conference and informal talks with Wayne county friends held him until late Saturday afternoon after he delivered the principal address Saturday at the county school commencement at Goldsboro, where a crowd of 5,000 people gathered. Friday night he spoke to a crowded town hall at Mt. Olive, also in Wayne county.

Mr. McLean is devoting today to his mail and tomorrow he will start a swing around the north-eastern counties which will take him to Nashville, where at 8 o’clock Tuesday night he will make a campaign speech to Nash county citizens. From there he will go to Garysburg, where at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, he will deliver an educational address to the school commencement; then to Murfreesboro, where at 8 p.m. Wednesday he will again talk state issues.
