Hon. Stanley Wimborne's Speech Pleased All at Norlina Commencement, April 25, 1924

A Splendid Speech

All who were so fortunate as to attend the commencement exercises Friday night of the Norlina High School were very highly pleased with the address of Hon. Stanley Wimborne, candidate for solicitor at the coming June primary.

Mr. Wimborne spoke to a packed house and his address was of a high order. His subject was Education and Citizenship. Mr. Wimborne is a vigorous speaker. He speaks clearly and convincing and from those who were so fortunate as to hear, there was an expression of regret when he ended his address.

Mr. Wimborne stated in the beginning that the people of Warren county were accustomed to such high-class speakers as Judge Kerr and Mr. Tosker Polk and he feared that his speech would not be well received, but when he finished his speech our people were convinced that he is in a class with Judge Kerr and Mr. Polk. If he is as good (a) court house speaker, our people will make no mistake in electing him solicitor of this district.

Mr. Wimborne, with his wonderful personality, pleased all of our people and our people are glad that he was sent to them.
