Thursday, May 16, 1935 Thru Capital Keyholes By Bess Hinton Silver GOT THE JUMP Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham got the jump on Clyde R. Hoey, the Shelby w Democratic giant, in announcing his candidacy for Governor. Both hopefuls had announced that they would tell the dear public of their intentions after the General As sembly adjourned but "Sandy Gra ham made it almost "immediately not sooner", in announcing while the Legislature was marking time in order that bills might be ratified. If Mr. Hoey hasn't spoken when you read this you may expect to hear from him ere long, and a good poli tical time will be had by one and all. NEW THREAT—A lot of people around Raleigh and elsewhere are hoping that they can persuade Sen ator Carl L. Bailey of Washington to run for Lieutenant Gov ernor. Already numerous candi dates have been mentioned with Senator Paul D. Grady, of Johnston, and former Senator George McNeill as the go-getters of the campaign so far. Senator W. G. Clarke may take the boys on but it is rumored along the old Grapevine that he might withdraw if a triple-threat to ■*Grady can be found. Some of the wise boys think Bailey is the man. The Senator from Washington has a good legislative record to lean up on if he should decide to run. UNPOPULAR Senator U. L. Spence of Moore, went home from the Legislature much less popular than when he came to Raleigh for the simple reason that he opposed diversion of the money you pay in -mgas taxes for your road. Senator ™Spence said upon all occasions that he believed that such money should be spent on roads and not for other purposes. But the Moore County lawmaker was overruled by the Gen eral Assembly which decided to take $1,800,000 each year of the next bi ennium out of the motorists pocket to pay general expenses of the State. Governor Ehringhaus was of the ilfene opinion as Senator Spence but not enough of the boys were willing to listen. Watch your step two years from now. BIG FIGHT—The school book publishers of the schools of the State didn't like the idea of this book rental system but Governor Ehringhaus and his friends were de termined that such a measure should be enacted into law in order that How Cardui Helps Women To Build Up Cardul stimulates the appetite and Improves digestion, helping women to nt more strength from thi food ttwy nt. AM nourishment is Improved, itr«n|th built up, certain functional pains go away and woman praise Cardul for helping them back to nood health. . . . Mra. C. *. BaUlff, of Hinton. W. Va., writes: "After the birth of my last baby, X did not seem to get my strength back. I took Cardul again and was soon sound and well. I hare given it to my daughters and recommend II to other ladles." . . . Thousands of women testify Cardul benefited them If It does not benefit YOU, consult a physician. *"Camels give my energy ♦ q LjfH 7 F MM I each child in the State might have not only an eight months school but books with which to carry on the studies. The proposal brought on major legislative battles but finally became law and now you can get school books for your youngsters at much less cost. COSTS MONEY—Samuel Blythe one of the big-shot writers of this country writes that owners of small amounts of utilities stock have al ready suffered losses of three and one-half billion dollars by rsason of declines in the value of such securi ties. Now that the Rayburn bill to turn almost complete control of utilities over to the federal power commission is before Congress your home-town utilities stock is not gaining any health. There has been much opposition to the Rayburn bill but some folk believe it still has a chance of becoming law, unless the opposition gains strength. BEE IS BUZZING—The guberna torial bug is reported to have bitten Senator John T. Burrus, High Point doctor, but many of the political wise-acres do not believe he will run next spring. With Congressman R, L. Doughton definitely out of the race it is possible that Dr. Burrus could attract a considerable follow ing from the ranks of followers of R. T. Fountain, former lieutenant governor who was defeated for Gov ernor by John C. B. Ehringhaus in 1932. NOT QUITTING—Mr. Fountain is still working around Raleigh and spent most of last week around the legislature where he is hoping to line up support for his Senatorial candidacy in opposition to Senator J. W. Bailey. "Some of my op ponent's friends are spreading it abroad that I Will not be a candidate but I want to say that I am already in the race to stay. The man who runs against me will have to go down every rabbit path in this State," Fountain said just the other day, IS BUSY—Colonel Thomas Le- Roy Kirkpatrick, former State Sen ator from Charlotte, is stirring up his gubernatorial campaign these days. Like Fountain, the daughty Colonel spent a good part of last week rubbing elbows v/ith legislators in behalf of his candidacy. The Colonel was the first announced candidate for governor this time, having disclosed his intention to run while a member of the 1933 Gen eral Assembly. YOUR HONOR—Friends of Rob ert Grady Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, are dis counting talk of his becoming a Candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Mr. Johnson, they say, had rather have a place on the Superior Court bench. The Legislature passed a bill reducing the retirement ages for judges from 70 to 65 years of age and that will mean that young er mc-ii, such as Mr. Johnson, will have more opportunities of being addressed as "Your Honor." HAPPY BOY—Thad Eure, prin cipal clerk of the House of Repre sentatives during the past several sessions, is like a kid with a new toy—so happy he is at the response to the recent suggestion that he might be a candidate for Secretary of State. Stacey W. Wade, who holds down the secretarial job at present, says he isn't worried, al though it's a pretty safe bet that he would like to see the popular Mr. Eure decide to take some other job. Both men are well liked, know their politics from A to Z and would provide the natives wfth. a lively race should they rim against one another. GOT NASTY —The wets in the House got awfully angry with the Senate for killing the Day liquor bill and proceeded to pass some legis lation just to spite the Senators. One Raleigh political observer wrote that he had long deplored the "in tolerance of drys" but recently he had become acquainted with the in tolerance of the wets which he described as "just as bad." Many people who believe the present pro hibition system is extremely bad and would like to see the control laws liberalized in order to get li quor out in the open, do not believe the House w£ts helped the cause any by displaying their temper. PRISON HEADS CONFUSED Raleigh, May 12.—Adoption of lethal gas as the means of inflict ing death judgments upon capital felons, set for July, leaves some con fusion in Raleigh as to whether the 23 men now on death row will die by both methods. Of course, if a prisoner is electro cuted he will not be gassed. Some of them have appeals in the su preme court. If a prisoner set to die in July should win his appeal, get a new trial, and lose again, he would be in this fix: He will have been sentenced to die two ways.
