POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
THE WASHINGTON
Merry-Go-Round
By Drew Pearson
Washington—The political sages
are saying Senator Frank Graham,
former president of the University of
North Carolina, is too honest to be
elected, because he won’t compromise
on principles for the sake of politics.
It takes horse-trading to survive in
the cutthroat game of pblitics, they
add.
This may be true, but North Caro
lina voters will have to take Senator
Graham as he is. He will follow' his
conscience and stay true to his ideals
no matter how many votes it may
cost. This is something Graham’s
colleagues have learned about him.
There is no question that the little,
lovable Senator from North Carolina
is a Fair Dealer. His heart is as
tig as his size is small, and his votes
are always on the side of the com
mon people. No political temptation
could change that outlook on life.
This column has talked to Senators
cf all political complexions about
Graham. Even the most rabid Re
publicans agree he is probably too
honest for his own good. One who
opposed Graham’s seating now admits
he is “the most Christian gentleman”
in the Senate.
Incidents from Graham’s past are
also catching up with him to show
his true character. There was the
time in 1910 when he was coaching
the Raleigh High School baseball
team. Raleigh was playing Wilson
for the State championship. Wilson
had the best pitcher, but his right
foot was lame. Thus, when the score
was tied 2-2 in the fifth inning, the
Raleigh batters began bunting, and
taking advantage of the pitcher’s in
jured foot.
After the inning, however, Coach
Graham called his team around him
and said simply: “Boys if we have
to bunt to a crippled pitcher in order
to win the championship, I don’t want
to win it.”
There was no more bunting and
Raleigh lost the game.
Graham’s political enemies are try
ing to smear him with the red brush
because of his liberal philosophy. But
the truth in Graham is too deep rooted
in North Carolina tradition —his fath
er was a captain in the Confederate
army—to he successfully smeared.
This came up during the last war
when Graham, as a member of the La
bor Mediation Board, was trying to
break a deadlock between the Bendix
Aviation Corporation and labor. With
vital production at a standstill, Gra
ham kept the corporation lawyers and
the union representatives in almost
continuous session for four days and
nights.
As tempers became short, a cor
poration lawyer snorted that he “nev
er saw a union you couldn’t get out
of.”
“You should have talked to my
father,” grinned Graham. “He tried
for four years to get out of a union
and couldn’t.”
The ensuing laughter broke the
tension and led to an early settlement.
Though a small man, Graham is
physically agile. While ice skating on
a lake in Minnesota a few years back,
he plunged through a hole in the ice.
But the little man wriggled back on to
solid ice. Later a husky lumberjack
spotted the dripping Graham and ask
ed what happened. After listening
to his story, the lumberjack blurted
incredulously: “The last person who
fell through the ice didn’t get out un
til spring.”
Graham is in a tough re-election
campaign right now with the State’s
moneyed interests fighting him to the
last ditch. However, North Carolina
politicos predict he will once again
wriggle through.

MY PLATFORM
In support of my candidacy for Representative to the North Carolina House of Representatives from Chowan County, I
would like to inform the people as to the position I stand in regard to some of our local and state problems and programs.
iCly platform, which I am presenting to the people, includes such measures as:
1. COOPERATION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION IN PROMOTING ELECTRIC POWER LINES, TELEPHONE LINES AND BETTER
ROADS IN AREAS WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED. I believe that in this modem world of ours each person is entitled to a decent liv
ing provided by modem conveniences, but there are many of our citizens, even in our county, who do not have the conveniences that
they are entitled to. I pledge my cooperation in promoting such facilities as electricity, telephones and better roads in areas of Chowan
County where they are needed 1 . .
2. COOPERATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHOWAN RIVER BRIDGE. Although funds have been appropriated for the
construction of this important bridge, work is yet to begin. I urge work on the bridge as soon as possible, for Jives are in danger each
time it is crossed and the proasperity of the Albemarle depends on this vital bridge.
3. A STUDY OF IMPROVEMENT OF OUR CHOWAN SCHOOLS AND A BROADER TEACHERS’ RETIREMENT PROGRAM. I am
a firm advocate of efficient education. Today, more than ever before, the education of our youth is a necessity. The future atomic
world is going to demand much of the education of our youth today. To meet this demand, I am in favor of more efficient schools in
our county and. state. The present schools are not as efficient as they should be. Ft lacks the preparation for adult life as well as for
collegiate work. I propose a careful study of the Chowan schools and try to find ways to increase their efficiency. Furthermore, by a
broader teachers’ retirement program it will encourage and induce more and better teachers in our schools.
4. BETTER DRAINAGE FOR CHOWAN COUNTY. In the recent years Chowan County has suffered and lost much money due to the lack
of proper drainage of the areas where there is abundance of excess water. I urge the state to drain such areas as swamps and shallow
streams for the prosperity and welfare of our industrious county.
5. INVESTIGATION OF IMPURITIES THAT ARE DISPOSED IN THE FISHING WATERS OF THE COUNTY. There has been much
concern in this county as to impurities hurting the fishing industry. I propose an investigation either by the state or federal govern
ment, and if these impurities hurt the fishing business, I urge immediate stopping of this practice. \ *
6. BETTER CONSERVATION OF NORTH CAROLINA FORESTS. Despite the fact of our preseAt forest conservation program, North*
Carolina drill has thousands of dollars loss due to forest fires. I propose a‘ forest conservation program similar to the Virginia Forest
Conservation Program, for our forests are very vital to the welfare of this state. . .
7 STATE TO HELP MAINTAIN THE. UPKEEP OF MAIN AND QUEEN STREETS IN EDENTON, Since both of these important
' streets of Edenton serve mostly as state traffic, it is the duty of the state and not entirely the citizens of Edenton to help maintain
their upkeep.
8 CLEANER HIGHWAYS. In some sections of our state dilapidated signboards discourage the beauty of our state. I believe that if a
sign is not property up-kept it should be destroyed either by the owner or by law.
SHOULD WAR BE DECLARED TOMORROW WOULD WE BE TOO YOUNG TO FIGHT?
I Will Greatly Appreciate Your Vote and Support If Elected I Pledge My Wholehearted
Devotion to the County and State as a Whole
