PAGE SIX Through... STATE CAPITAL KEYHOLES By BESS HINTON SILVER HOPES TO CRACK WHlP—Rep resentative Tam C. Bowie, of Ashe County, has given up hopes of run ning for Governor in 1936 and tells close friends that he will back Con gressman R. L. Doughton if the lat ter seeks to succeed Ehringhaus. At present Mr. Bowie is tearing his shirt for Representative Willie 'Lee Lump kin, of Franklin, for speaker of the 1935 House. Bowie hopes to control the next session of the House and thi.ilts his best bet is to elect Lump- Li.v speaker. The grapevine reports that Mr. Lumpkin might give Mr. Bowie the chairmanship of either the House appropriations or finances committees. STRATEGY— Capitol Hill has the speakership campaign figured out this way —Robert Grady Johnson, of Bender, in the lead with Lumpkin -ncl Laurie McEachern, of Hoke, run ning hard for second place. Ihe oCpster3 predict that in the end eith er Johnson or McEachern will with draw and combine forces to defeat Lumpkin. The gentleman making the sacrifice is expected to be re warded with the chairmanship of one of tire important committees and a j place on one or two other good ones. That makes sense if you understand the game of politics. SECRETARY OF STATE—The old grapevine has trotted out a poten tial opponent of Stacey W. Wade for his post of secretary of state in 1936. Editor J. B. Benton, who pub lishes the several weekly newspapers and lives in Benson down in Johns ton County, is said to be toying with the idea that he would make a good secretary of state. Editor Benton long ago cultivated a taste for things political and is a former chairman of the Johnston County Democratic Executive Committee. HORSESHOES —Proponents of the proposed revised constitution see a lot of four-leaf clovers and horse shoes in the Supreme Court’s deci sion that the changes in the basic law cannot be voted on this Novem ber because the repeal election last year was a “general” election and the first after the General Assembly voted to submit the document to The will of the people. Nobody realized better than the proponents that the new constitution was doomed to de feat at the polls. Both sides agree prevailing unsettled conditions make it a bad time to vote on anything as important as a constitution. MAKING POLITICAL HAY—Wo men Democratic officials are forming their lines for the November cam paign. Mrs. Charles W. Tillett, Jr., of Charlotte, recently elected vice chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, and Miss Mabel Penny, of Raleigh, recently elevated to the post of vice president of the Young Democratic Clubs of North Carolina, are letting no gras3 grow under their feet and are actively en gaged in field organization. These two women take their politics seri ously and know the advantage of get ting in the first punches. No activity on the part of Republican women is in evidence at Raleigh. CONSIDERED A BET—If Clyde R. Hoey, prominent Shelby Democrat, doesn’t run for Governor in 1936, he will embarrass more than one poli tical prophet in North Carolina. Around the State Capitol it is con sidered a 3ure bet that Mr. Hoey has already maide up his mind to enter the lists. Ones are already being drawn between Hoey supporters and backers of R. L. Doughton in Ra leigh with Hoey unquestionably the favorite on Capitol Knoll. JUST WON’T DlE—Despite the fact that he has announced that he is “too busy” to make a campaign for Governor, the rumor machine still rates Julian Price, president of the Jefferson Standard Life Insur ■MHfimpany of Greensboro, as a lfc|Eat * n tlle com * n ? race. •, ■fcaven’t given up hope Hllll is largely their ■'By s keeping the ; ,. , p ' Ik Burch's ■Pro- Bate ■m- Bit ply V is Kffiafr- Bg h? 8 Bentev- Bt the Bfair objectionable features of former ex-1 positions. JUST COASTING Wallace Win borne, of Marion, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Commit tee, is taking his time about opening ’ headquarters in Raleigh. While he has made no announcement regard -1 ing delay in starting the -campaign rolling, it might not be a bad guess that the textile strike has something to do with it. The Democrats will be in much better position when troops have been withdrawn and the spindles hum again. Right now the Republicans have a lot to talk about in urging their cause before the vot ers of the State. NO CHANGE—The State High ' way and Public Works Commission j and Governor Ehringhaus are taking | their own sweet time in naming a j chief engineer to succeed John Wal , drop who was killed in an autor > ■bile accident but Charles Upham, who held that politico when Frank Page was chairman, is still consid- I ere cl in Raleigh as the test bet to ! get the job. Upham knows the State j road system as well or better than most candidates for the job and is ■aid to be the choice of the Governor. He came to Raleigh to confer with i high-ranking friends of Ehringhaus about the post and is said to have ' agreed to quit a better paying job in s Washington to get back in .North j Carolina. ! NOT ALL VIRTUE Ail you { have to do is read the newspaper ac l counts of investigations of election charges to learn that tie primary system cf selecting -party candidates i 3 not the instrument of political purity it is supposed to be. From all accounts a primary can be just about as corrupt as a party conven tion and much more expensive. WANTS A SCALP—Political wis dom vendors are now quoting Judge M. V. Barnhill as warning that if no - other candidate can be found to op pose Senator Josiah W. Bailey, the judge himself will tackle the job. There is much sentiment for return ing Mr. Bailey to the ranks of a pri vate citizen being voiced at present hut the difficulty seems to be in get ting a man’s sized candidate to make the race. Many names have been mentioned but so far no one has answered the call. ADVANCE j Mrs. W. L. Copeland is able to be out again after-having been confined to her home for several days with paralysis. Mrs. Copeland’s many friends will be glad to learn of her improved condition. Mr. and Mrs..

Transfer Certificates Through County Agent Cotton growers are not allowed to transfer tax-exemption certificates from one farm to another withou' such transfer being made through the office of the county farm agent, warns Charles A. Sheffield, of State College, director of the cotton pro gram in North Carolina. However, share tenants on the same farm may exchange certificates among themselves by endorsing them, he said. The certificates may be paid for according to any arrange ment agreeable to both buyer and seller. But the secretary of agriculture has fixed a price of four cents a pound as the price of certificates transferred from one farm to an other and provided that the transac tion must be conducted through the county agent, who will make a record of the exchange. If agreeable to both parties, the certificates. may be exchanged for commodities by a process of barter, Sheffield added, so long as the com modities are valued at the cash price of the certificates. Sheffield also brought out that when a landlord receives part of a tenant’3 crop as rental on the land, the landlord must use his own ex emption certificates in getting bale tags for that part of the crop which goes to him. The tax exemption certificates are issued to the growers in accordance with the amount of cotton they w T ere allotted to sell tax free this year. Since some growlers failed to produce the full amount of their allotment, while other growers overproduced, ar rangements were made for underpro duces to. sell the surplus part of their certificates to overproducers. |«£ • Era h% . f . r« I A FRIEND I You Can Depend On ...
