October 25-31, 1950 

Republicans and Democrats held simultaneous political rallies in Reidsville, with Republicans gathering in the city courtroom and the Democrats meeting at the Reidsville Armory. 

About 100 Republicans were present for the GOP rally, presided over by Roy G. Wagner, president of the County Young Republicans. 

Gerald R. Chandler of Albemarle, vice president of North Carolina Young Republicans, was principal speaker. 

At the Democratic rally, speakers included Congressman Carl Durham, U.S. Senator Frank P. Graham and Senator-nominee Willis Smith.
