CAPITAL CUPl "Whiskey Never Served At r Mansion," Governor States By EUIA N. GREENWOOD MANSION AND W HUSKY . . . Said Gov. Tarry Sanford last week: "Whisky has never been served at the Mansion and never win be " The Governor added that "pnybody who has aver attend ed ? party or any function at the Mansion knows that ta he tjrue." Is that so? Let's look at a little research We have done on the matter since reeding Governor San fprd'i statement. Firat, let me a?y that 1 have navar seen whisky served at any party at the Mansion. But many and tyany people through the years hpve armed themselves with substantial drinks just before Siting the Mansion. Whisky and politics have teen bosom buddies in North Carolina and elsewhere for sev eral years. That is why the Gov efnor's statement caused raised eyebrows in haavy-drinklng R* lfigh. But he told the tryib. TEE-TOTALER . . . Gover nor Terry Sanford is personal Jas dry as the Sahara. So is rs. Sanford. Governor Luther Hodges, While living in Raleigh at least, Was almost a tee-totaler . , . taut not quite. A close friend of h(s recalls the slight embarraas n|ent a visiting British dignitary Jeated. It was summertime and e Hodges and their visitor were sitting casually chatting op the porch. The British one let it be known that he was jyst dying, don't you know, for a Scotch -and-aoda. Mrs. Hodges, in a courteous bfit firm manner let this gentle nan know that liquor was not served at the Mansion. Now (governor Hodges, being a Scotch-and-soda man himself on rfre occasions, might have s fared something up to keep tie British visitor alive. But, if st. the drinking was done on tfce much-more-private second floor of the Mansion. ' FIRST FLOOR . . . QoVe? nfrs' families through itha y?ars have regarded the first flpor of the Mansion as hardly bflonging to them as a home at This is the pi ace the public ii invited to wkem it visita the Mansion.

In the pest 40 years? that carries us back to 1923- we have had only one- Governor who cared much (or whiskey. He w?s one of our better Governors . sod we still can't understand how most 'people seem to take a fiendish delight in referring to his liquor-drinking. I sup pose it gives them the feeling of knowing something really personal about ? great men. Be that as it may, we would say that if our Governors of the past 40 yeers had anything in common besides being Demo crats it was their aversion to whisky. They have cared very little for it William B. Umatead was a dray-as-a-bone Governor. And, in fact, was partly, or mostly, respoosibdle for the departure of a heavy-drinking State offici al. While Commissioner of Agri culture, Kerr Scott used to keep a little home-made black berry vine in the bottom draw er of his big desk. Like a schoolboy slipping behind the barn for a cigarette, Commis sioner Scott would have a sip or two after quitting-time. On very, very rare occasions he would drink a beer . . . and one time remarked to a friend it would have suited him all right if they had "left it in the horse." Nevertheless, there were two items Kerr Scott disliked heart ily .. . whisky and cigarettes Cigars, chewing tobacco, a pipe on occasions, but no cigarettes ever. Sunday School Teachers Clyde Hoey and J. M. Brough ton were dry. It may be that Governor Broughton would sip Vtrlteer . K jusrtd be "Mie'of the bays'' . but cared noth ing for it. It is ironical that legalized liquor came into North Caroline and got its firm toe hold during these dry Govcr Telephone Talk hy H. M.

Since he was the closest thing we have had to a full-blooded, swashbuck ling, vigorous sport, Gardner knew how to handle his alcohol if and when he indulged. J. C. B. Ehringhaus, ill most of his term as Governor, was tolerant toward whiskey but generally eschewed it CANDIDATES. TOO ... By and large, the heavy drinking in the political world is done by the supoorters rather than by the candidates. Now lot's consider the three men most mentioned at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner as gubernatorial candidates next year. Thpy wore Dr. I. Beverly Lake, Dr. Henry Jordan, and Bert Bennett. They are drink holders; not drink-drinkers. In other words, they get a drink at a party and walk around holding it for the whole even ing. This goes, also, for Repub lican Charles Jonas. They are sometimes referred to as "gin ger ale addicts." A candidate for office told us one time it would be "fool ish" for itlm to drink. In the first place, he in'rtr1 out, the drinks would cause him to aay things he might regret later. And, in the second place, he could not hold out through the round of parties which are thrust upon every candidate for important office. BOOTLEGGERS ...
