(Special To The Herald)
Raleigh, Aug. 13.—Nwo that four
candidates have announced for the
Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate, each an excel
lent showman in his own peculiar
way. that contest is expected to be
gin to take on color, life and anima
tion that will place it, almost, if not
entirely, in a class to itself in North
'Carolina political campaigns.
The latest word has come from A.
L. Brooks, Greensboro, who has left
the way open for entry later, if he
deems it advisable or expedient to
make a quintet of it, or if it gets
still further into a free-for-all. Mr.
Brooks is not expected to enter un
less, by some chance, Thomas C.
(Tam) Bowie, West Jeffreson, the
latest entrant, should retire from the
race, and that is not on the horizon.
Mr. Brooks and Mr. Bowie have con
ferred about it, probably before, but
certainly at lunch on the day Mr.
Bowie’s announcement appeared more
than a week ago. Mr. Bowie admits
the conference. It is considered that
they had an understanding, had one
before Mr. Bowie announced, and that
Mr. Brooks will not get in unless Mr.
Bowie gets out, although the Brooks
statement leaves him free to do as he
pleases.
Mr. Bowie had his eye on the gov
ernorship four or five years later, and
had told friends of his purpose con

ditionally. That may be why his plat
form seems more appropriate for a
gubernatorial campaign than a sena
torial race, in that he is a tax-relief
er, primarily. He may add planks
that are more in line with his present
desire to go to the Senate.
Frank D. Grist, Commissioner of
Labor, first to announce opposition to
Senator Cameron Morrison, with the
bulk of his duties taken from him
and with no apparent move to or
ganize the Department of Labor as
provided by the 1931 law, is left al
most entirely free to conduct a cam
paign—which is expected to have
many elements of the spectacular.
Senator Morrison refused, two years
ago, to shake hands with him in the
Governor’s office. Grist is paying
him.
Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville,
probably the best showman of the
bunch, has announced on a modifica
tion platform. While available evi
dence seems t oindicate a tr$n dto
ward a let-up in the prohibition laws,
and people can now vote one way and
talk another, it is not considered like
ly that he will be able to overturn the
long established dry sentiment in the
State. But he will make a showing,
for he doubtless lies awake nights
thinking of stunts that will get him
into the limelight, even if the novel
ty of his showmanship has been
worn off by his two campaigns in re
cent years.
But Senator Morrison will continue
along his way, probably annoyed but
not particularly worried, by the in
creasing number of opponents. As he
has said it will serve to split his op
position. He has enemies who would
like to see him defeated. Some de
veloped during his campaign and
others in his term as Governor. Still
others opposed his A1 Smith support.
Many of these came back, probably,
when he caused the appointment of
Frank R. McNinch, anti-Smith lead
er, as a member of the Federal Pow
er Commission, and others were ali
enated by the same act. They’ll use
the fact that he has money, and will
use it, against him.
However, friends of Senator Mor
rison point out, he is a patriotic and
loyal North Carolinian, and he is ab
solutely fearless, traits which the
citizens of this State admire. He had
those qualities before he had money
and has lost none of either of them.
Moreover, ne spoice oux ieariessiy in
his gubernatorial campaign and since
and although 10 years have been add
ed to his age, he may be expected to
conduct a lively campaign for the
Senate. He has a strong nucleus of
supporters in most every county in
the State to start with.
And his most formidable pros
pective opponent is nol likely to op
pose him. Friends of Clyde R. Hoey
say he will not run, even if he does
keep them guessing, sort of playing
with them. Despite the expressed be
lief that Governor Gardner appoint
ed Senator Morrison with a view that
he himself could beat him, Governor
Gardnre has said definitely that he
will not enter the race. In fact, unless
present signs fail, Governor Gardner
will be a supporter, probably quietly,
of his appointee Senator Morrison.
All admit that “Cam” wil be hard to
beat and many doubt if he will even
be forced into a second primary.
Graham for Governor?
Earlier entries and spectacular en
trants in the Senatorial race will
have the effect of forcing out the
candidates for Governor from two to
four months earlier than the usual
"Bert of Soldier.”
Sergt. David (“Spike”) Malonee, of
Battery E of the coast artillery on
duty at Fort Winfield Scott, who was
recently spoken of by General Suni
merall as being the best soldier he has
ever seen in the United States army.
In all the fifteen years that the ser
geant has been soldiering he has nev
er been known by any other name than
“Spike,” and when his name was need
ed for dispatches the writers had to
refer to the official files, for no one
knew his real name.
first-of-the-year starting time. It
will mean a long and sustained fight,
with headquarters, managers, travel
ing, expenses, all for a longer period.
This is a prospect which none of the
prospective candidates, all with mod
est fortunes, relish. At best, not one
of them could begin to bear his own
full campaign expenses without se
riously crippling his financial condi
tion, and it may have the effect of
causing some of the present prospects
to drop from the list.
Another interesting development in
tha trace. A movement is under way
t obring out Dr. Frank P. Graham,
president of the State University, as
a candidate for Governor. Whether
it is friends, trying to do him honor,
either by getting him out for the gov
ernor ship, or getting him in line for
the presidency of the greater Uni-1
versity, or enimies trying to “mud-'
dy the water” for the latter position,
is not known. The assertion that the
state needs a “liberal governor” indi
cates that it is his friends, but act
ing probably without his knowledge
or consent.
Friends of A. J. Maxwell are more
insistent that the Commissioner of
Revenue will be in this race, and with
in a month or two. This week, in an
adddress at Selma, he took definite is
sue with Lieutenant Governor R. T.
Fountain, whohad taken the position
that local self-government isebingcm
that local self-government is being
usurped by the State. Mr. Maxwell
referred to the Local Government Act
most assailed as usurpation, as in
reality giving back to the people some
of the power they originally had un
der the Constitution and which had
been lost by judicial decisions. The
commission, he said, stands between
them and local officers who might be
and have been known to spend money
needlessly. WilTis Smith, speaker of
the House had previously taken issue
with Mr. Fountain, referring to the
“ancient shibboleth” and “fetish” of
local self-government.
Among other political moves is the
announcement of Stacy W. Wade, for

Not Enough Money
The State Board of Equalization, in
session last week, found that the bud
gets submitted by county officials in
dicate a requirement of $22,000,000
to operate the public schools next
year, when only $17,000,000 is avail
able for that purpose. The board will
find it necessary to trim the county
budgets an average of 20 per cent or
more, which is expected to include
the 10 per cent cut in teachers salari
es. Salaries are not to be cut more
than 10 per cent, and not to that ex
tent if funds are available, the legis
lative act provides.
Tax Collector Indicted
Ed Hugh Lee, Raleigh tax collect
or for several years, has been indicted
for embezzling city funds over a pe
riod of years, his alleged confession
placing the amount around $30,000,
while auditors state it will exceed
that amount. He waived preliminary
hearing and is held for Superior
Court under $3,000 bond.
Another Raleigh development, of
interest to the State, is a hitch in
the preparations for erecting a city
auditorium on the Centennila school
site at the end of Fayetteville Street.
Payment for demolishing the burned
auditorium and for preliminary plans
for the new one, out of the insurance
money from the old building is caus
ing the trouble. The last legislature
directed that the insurance money be
turned over to the new building com
mission, but part has already been
spent. Probably just another tempo
rary snag.
Crowned King and Queen

and queen of health at the meeting
of more than 700 4-H club boys and

the State, at State College last week. ]
The club members spent the week in 1
study, devoting much time to pig,
corn, calf, home and other club ac
tivities, and to recreation. They fol
lowed the farm men and women who
were here the week before.
