JTAGE EIGHT
SAYS DOUGHTON TO
OPPOSE REYNOLDS
FOR SENATE SEAT
Winston-Saiem Journal Writer i
Says Veteran Representative
Will Seek to Wrest Senatorial'
Toga From Hob Reynolds;!
Says Information Source is;
"Unquestionable"
Congressman Robert L. D ought on. ;
ninth district representative, is go- i
ing oat after Bob Reynolds' scalp i: J
the primaries next summer, says ,
Johr A. Parris. Jr.. in a spec-il j
copyrighted story appearing in the j
Winston-Salem Journal Tuesday. Ac- ]
cm ' jig to Mr. Parris. the news that i
"Farmer Bob" really wants T.o go to j
the senate comes from f unimpeach- j
abie* sources He says: :
Representative Robert L "Farm- j
er Bob" Doughton will be a candi
date for the "United States senate in j
tflSS. the Journal learned from an j
ur.impeachable source last night.
The veteran congressman has decided,
according- to the Journal's inform
ant. to oppose Robert R. "Our
Bob" Reynolus for the junior senate
pest
Doughton will make a formal arnouncement
of his candidacy sometime
in November, it is understood.
It is believed Doughton "ong has'
harbored the ambition to ran for the
United States senate as a last fling!
iti politics before retirement.
Always silent about his future
plans, the 7t-year-old chairman of
the house ways and means committee
most important of all congres- j
sional chairmanships consistently j
Has refused to affirm or deny ru- \
mors of his candidacy.
It is generally known that. Boughton
has approval from the White
House in practically anything he uwd<
rtakes.
A little more than a year ago j
when he seriously considered an-j
n UiiCihg as a candidate for governor i
of North Carolina. Bought on was |
called to the While House for a cor.- i
f'crence where he was told his serv
sees were needed urgently As a result.
he announced he would not he
a gubernatorial candidate.
As a spearhead in the Roosevelt
administration, Doughton. if he were
elected to the United States senate,
would doubtless command an important
position in the upper legislative
body. bM
Meantime, Reynolds, who has announced
his candidacy for re-election,
is making- speeches and covering all
the territory in the state he possibly
can.
As one of the speakers at the
State Convention of Young Democrats
here this week, Reynolds will
rub elbows with Dough ton. who nas
announced his intention of attci ding*
the gathering.
Going into the senate on the turn
?f .1:1 era that of prohibition?Reynolds
has had easy sailing through his
sue years as junior senator from
North Carolina.
Last week odds were 5 to 1 that
the man who drove an automobile
around the world would have no opposition
in the n.xt Jul primary.
Rut today there was creeping into
pxuture rumors oi opposition,
from all sides.
Representative Frank Hancock of
Oxford, and Representative Walter
Lambeth, of Thoniasvilie. also are
being: talked as possible ca?ididates
in the senatorial race.
It is not considered likely either
Hancock or Lambeth will choose to
run if Doughton announces his candidacy.
Long noted for hard work, Doughtor.
without doubt would enter the
senatorial campaign with more fervor
than he has ever before shown in his
long political career.
It is understood Doughton will go
to Washington within the next few
weeks to confer with President
Roosevelt regarding a special session
of congress, expected to be called
before the first of the year.
A potent political factor in North
Carolina, the tall, lanky, sturdy
Doughcon went to congress first in
1911.
Just as potent he is in national
politics. The chairmanship of the
ways and means committee has been
a particularly arduous task under
President Roosevelt because much of
Lie administration legislation was
nurtured there. He has a record of
never having had an amendment offered
to one of his bills from the
ficor of the house during his 26 years
of legislative service.

College Curriculum; Adjustments
in Supervision
A number of important changes in
the curriculum of Appalachian State
Teachers College are embodied in the
11*37-3* bulletins which came from
the press recently. The total number
ei courses offered has been raised

teaching to observe regularly in the

the efficiency of the supervised work.
greater freedom is provided for individual
selection of courses. For instance,
in the grammar grade field,
students will he privileged to 27
selective, instead of the former 10.
Students applying for certification
in the high school field, will have a
totai of 66 quarter hours devoted to
free seiectives and elect! ves in the
major fields.
Following is a list of changes
made in the curriculum: : 1) In Horn
