THE ELKIN (N. C.) TRIBUNE,'THURStJAY, NOVEMBER 18, 19#3 CAPITAL LETTERS By Thompson Greenwood REYNOLDS — Reason given around Raleigh for the Reynolds withdrawal is that he had figured on the war’s being over by pri mary time and thought that a tidal wave of isolationist feelings would sweep over the land and carry him back to the Senate. Reynolds was right with his his tory—as witness the Lodge-Wil- son fights after the last war—but wrong with his war-end guessing. A lot of people say that most of Our Bob’s backers have never re ceived much money for their sup port of him in past days — he campaigned under pauper oath— and believe they were ready to hit him for about one cool mil lion next year. It is said they were already writing him. cal bosses around Asheville are plenty glad Our Bob is out of the race. BUNCOMBE — Things were in a mess politically in and around Buncombe County. The boys, it seems, could not get together, for some of them were Pro-Reynolds; some, Anti-Reynolds. There was no unity. Let them say on the record what they will. The politi- BLYTHE—LeGette Blythe, fea ture writer for the Charlotte Ob server wrote last Wednesday that Reynolds’ dropping out of the race would benefit McDonald. Blythe, as a political dopester, is a good novelist. The fact that Reynolds decided not to run will naturally keep thousands away from polls, as LeGette points out. But this will react in Cherry’s fa vor, for with a small vote the or ganization man is nearly always the high man. Gregg Cherry has not yet denied that he is a or ganization candidate. In fact, while McDonald is making speeches over the country. Cherry is organizing. SPEAKER — Dr. Ralph Mc Donald is news wherever he ap pears. He knows what folks like to read and what newspaper fel lers like to throw on paper. , In other words, McDonald is defin- GREENWOOD GONE — Since the General As sembly adjourned last March five members have died — Senators W.

CONVENTION CITY — Win- ton-Salem is straining every ef- ort to become the convention ity of North Carolina. With plen- of good cold cash tg throw in convention bids and entertain- !ment and several very good hotels. Twin City has this year at- acted several big conventions- rniture men, lawyers, newspa- 'er folks, others. JBy the time this gets into print, u will know whether or not the tional Grange meeting will be :ld in Winston next year. The es were kept hot last Friday Saturday in an effort to bring Grangers back to Winston- em (they were there in ’33). J. Lybrook, who lives just out Winston-Salem and is the Republican member of the te Board of Agriculture, want- Commissioner of Agriculture Kerr Scott, Governor J. M. ghton and Mayor George W. ,n to offer the Grangers about ything except the Reynolds ding to bring them to North ilina. Conventions in this day time mean big money and publicity if everything is aied all right. !NATE — At least one North )lina political writer — and 1 been at it a. long time—thinks is a good chance McDonald [run for the Senate. However, he is a Cherry man, he may be doing a lot of wishful dng.

They feel that since Gardner has been in Washington so long, he is much better known than his brother- in-law and will in reality be the senator, not through any agree ment with Hoey necessarily but through the influence Gardner and his powerful friends will be able to have on Mr. Hoey. No man, let-it be said here, is more popular in North Carolina than Clyde Ruark Hoey—but Gardner is not so popular.
