v?With the second primary just af
lew hours off, plenty of fireworks,
are provided both in the Senatorial;
Vace between Bob Reynolds and Cam
Morrison1 and in the Gubernatorial
race between J. C. B. Ehringhaus j
and R. T. Fountain. The candi
dates in these two run-off races were
slow in getting their second cam- \
paigns started, due. perhaps, to j
their exhaustion after the first bit
ter campaign. But they got started
In lively fashion about a week ago
and have been at it hammer and
tongs ever since. Fountain has at
tacked everybody and everything in
sight, making harsh accusations
against Mr. Ehringhaus and draw-!
ing fire not only from his opponent
but also from Willis Smith. Speaker
i>f the 1931 House, who charged this
week that Fountain has built up a
political machine in this State and
has sung a hymn of hate thruout
his campaign. Mr. Ehringhaus. con
fident that he will have easy sail
ing in the second primary Saturday,
has contented himself wtih making
a.Jew speeches, replying to Foun-;
tain's bitter attack and stating]
etnphatiealv his opposition to a sales ?
tax. No one entertains a thought
that Fountain will make a strong
showing,Saturday. As for the Sen
atorial race. that. too. has been
plenty warm. Both Reynolds and
Morrison have been making heated
speeches thruout the State, and both
apparently have a strong following.
JSiere has been a definite trend or
swing toward Morrison since the
first primary", in which Reynolds ran.
about 12.000 votes ahead of the J
Senator, jsnd it appears that North
Carolina, despite its Wet inclina
tions. is going to repudiate Bob!
Reynolds on Saturday and return to
Washington it honest, fearless Sen
ator?Cameron Morrison. Morrison
and Ehringhaus look like the win
res. but it's going to be plenty hot
and exciting.
