TENSE WILL McDONALD ,
ENTER FOR |CONGRESS—
COAN A DARK HORSE.
News reaches D»nbury this
week that W. R Badgett of Pilot
Mountain will probably be a
candidate for solicitor of the 21st j
district against Ralph J. Scott of
Stokes, A+. D. Ivie. Jr, of Rock-j
ingham, A. B. Carter of Surry. |
Mr. Badgett is a prominent. 1
practicing attorney of Surry'
county and is quite well known'
in Stokes.
I It »s a'so understood that C:J
well will have a candidate tor
solicitor o f this district which is
composed of Surry, Stokes Rock
ingham and C'swelL Allen Gwyn
of Rockingham is the present
incumbent of this position, but
as he has announced for Judge,
he becomes automatically elim
inated fi oi:i the solicitorial race.
For judge of the 21st, Mr.
Gwyn will be opposed by tho
present incumbent, Judge E. C.
Biven& of Surry, who w(is ap
pointed by Gov. Hoey lately, and
by Atterney J. M. Sharpe of
Rockingham,
The campaign for the U, 1 S,
Senate between Senator Bob Rey
nolds and Congressman Franjc
Hancock will doubtless be in-
I tense, as these two young politi
-1 cal warriors will certainly cj,rry
( the bat,tie into every county of
" v W J Ul |
the SKlsite, Each has strong fol- j
lowing in every section of North ]
Carolina, ' j
The contest for the seat of
Hancock in congress will, too, be
no doubt a hard fought one, with j
A, D, Folger of Surry a n d other!
I
candidates jn the race, including
Rex Gaa3, possibly, and Fred 1
Hutchins, both of Forsyth* | 1
! It is believed by many that '
ex-Mayor Geoy W. Coan of Win-, (
ston-Salem, may come in as a (
dark horse. Mr. Coan is at *
I present chief of the WPA in the j
I and has doubtless very
strong backing,
| Stokes has her own Ula* Gr«ce !
Taylor, on* of the rising stars of 1
female Democracy in the State '
9 f
and should Miss Taylor definitely
decide to eater she may be ex
t
pected to receive much more than
1
a complimentary vote from her
own county, as the is widely'
known and deservedly popular in p
o|ther counties. \
