Governor Hoey's Nightmare Is Based
On His Early Days As Newspaper Man
K.4LEIGH. It's not balancing the
budget Nor keeping on the good side
of t'nv legislature that give Governor
ilw.v nightmares.
Those tasks are tough enough, he
sav,-, but sissy slulf for nightmare
themes. When l he Governor has a
i 'o! lion. st-to-goucha-ss nightmare,
hi- the dock hack 4!)-oild years
iinu drcmn.s uuout his old days as a
vouinry newspaper editor and the
Hi''von.s tension of "making the mail."
T. :- Govei nor's nightmare is always
the same, and comes only when "I've
iroie to bed all tiled out"
Always Same Niuhtniare
in ,'he dream, he sees himself as a
tail. Jiin-faced stripling stooped over
a type ease in his newspaper shop.
Jli.s hands dart about the type box,
fur his newspaper must go to press
in 15 minutes or it will miss the mail
train.
Finally, the article is set, and the
Wig-it-aired youngster carries the
type to a "stone," He is about to fill
the last hole ii the newspaper form,
when ...
" pie the type."

bwuti' of a weekly newspaper. "Few

After a short time. Iloev decided he'd

"What will you sell out for?" he
Sisfced his boss, Colonel'. John C. Tipton.
"Hadn't thought of selling," said
the colonel, "hut I reckon 1 might let
you have it for , suy, V50 cash."
"I haven t got. that much cash."
"JJoiv much have you got in cash'.' '
Tipton grinned. "Anything?"

He 'wrote the newspaper stories,
set Kruin .tfjmst'lf in hand type, made

the papers, addressed them, and even
ivvtt'd as carrier hoy. Some of the
papers went through the mails; the
ot'li-s vsent in the Hoey buggy to
their destinations.
Ti. Ham readers throughout Cleve
land county, he changed the paper
from the Shelby Iieview to the Cleve
land Star. Hut his biggest circulation-builder
was the "honor loll"
which appeared in big type on the
front page of every issue. When a
reader paid his subscription fee his
n.-'.me went on the "honior roll."
Hoey's paper soon had .(,5(10 sub
scribers and was one of the biggest
weeklies in .North Carolina. (Now,
under different ownership, it is a
daily newspaper.)
(Joes To State House
lint young Clyde did not remain
long in the newspaper business. He.
was elected to the state house of
representatives a few weeks before
his twenty-first birthday. Later, he
was the young member of the state
senate. i
He crammed two years of legal
study into one summer at the Univer
sity of North Carolint, and then sur
prised the bar examiners by passing
his law tests with high grades.
He served a term in Congress in tne
Wilson administration, but declined
to run for re-election, although he
would have had no serious opposi
itno. He has taken part in virtually every
political campaign of the twentieth
century. He made CO speeches for
Alfred K. Smith in the presidential
race of U28.
He received the gubernatorial nom
ination in VXtt'i after one of the
toughest campaigns in North Caro
lina's history.
I!ut, with all the problems of a
man in public life, the Governor, m
his dreams, is still a kid a tall, pre-
