The question being asked around hero is: ‘‘Now that they (the Wild life fellows) have it, what are they going to do with it!” 4i « 4i A STATEMENT, SIR.—This col umn recently said something to the effect that Dt. Gov. L. Y. Ballentlne had been offered various positions- or support for said positions—If he would not run for Governor against State Treasurer Charles Johnson. Ballentine actually made this state ment, and he still holds to it, seem ing su I prised that Johnson denies It as follows: “In view of a recent article In your Raleigh News Letter, I desire Harrington's Garage Broadway North Carolina PHONE B-266 JOHN HARRINGTON, Prop.

Photo was made' from a coast guard plane making an aerial survey of the flooded area. Other locations reported train and railway tracks under water, bringing about renewed demands upon congress for flood control. to make a statement with reference to tho same. “As a candidate for Governor, I have not, nor wlli I promise to ap point any person to any office. I have suggested to no person to be come a candidate for any office and if any of my supporters have done so It was done without any author ity fiom me and without my knowl edge. The people of this groat State are certainly capable of selecting their public servants. "This letter Is written for the purpose of keeping' the record straight. lYours very truly, Charles M. Johnson.” • ♦ • BACK AND FORTH.—Ballentlne says yes. Johnson says no. Who knows? Your Lieutenant Governor certainly would not make a false statement in this matter—and nei ther would your State Treasurer. The answer; Johnson might have said something of this nature In a joking way at some time and have forgotten it. Some fawning friend of Johnson may have made overtures in this direction to Ballentlne with out Johnson’s authority and without his knowledge. P. S. This column loans neither way. believes Johnson might make Just as good Governor as Ballentine, or vice versa. They are both good men, and so are WlUis Smith, Oscar lEarker, or any of the others who have been mentioned so far.

Oliattels for sale at The News office. • ♦ RIGIDLY FORMED.—-You may be pleased to know that your State Government is now so rigidly form- i ed and so checked, cross-checked, j and double-checked that any man of; average Intelligence and honesty would make a fairly good Qovernox. Governor Angus W. McLean can be thanked for this. He set tho thing up oil a business-like basis, and as it stands now. It is darned near fool proof -as regards its financial opera tions. * * * OF INTEREST.—Now here is something of more than passing in terest: You know, Willis Smith is being mentioned as a candidate for Governor. He was prominently men tioned, too, the last time the Gover nor came from the eastern part of the State^—in 1940, but he pulled out when he saw that J. M. Brough ton was swifty becoming a con tender. Now they are talking him again. He's a good man—not too aggressive, but smart, capable, and a gentleman all the way. What a lot of folks do not know is that he and Gov. Gregg Cherry were classmates at old Trinity. The talk now is that he is the man who persuaded Cherry to run for the Legislature from Gaston county back in 1930. The Gastonian had a good law practice, didn't seem to be in terested in politics of that sort, the story goes, but Smith, eager to be come Speaker of the House in 1931, wont to Gastonia and finally suc ceeded in pulling Cherry Into the fray. Cherry came to the House, helped Smith 'become Speaker, and then found he liked it around Ral eigh, Liked It fine. He kept coming to the Legislature, became Speaker himself in 19i3'7, and then Governor. Now If Willis Smith runs for Gov ernor, whom will Governor Cherry and his forces support? * * « FOR SUPERINTENDENT.-~R. L. Fritz, Jr., whom some rather xebel- ISous teachers made head of the N. C. Education Association, may run for Superintendent of Public In struction against Clyde Erwin. There is always a large group of Instruc tors dissatisfied with "things around Raleigh" and they are urging Fritz to carry the fire he was able to build in the Asheville-convention right In to the big, gray Education building here. He is expected shortly to call for a program leading toward an ulti mate objective of $2,400 a year for teachers—as a minimum for 'Grade A cei'tiflcatos. * * * SPEAKER.—Senator W. B. Um- stead will speak to the State Vet erans of Foreign Wars Convention at Beaufort June 3. He has been a member of this rapidly growing or ganization for a good many years now . . , will see worlds of new faces and potential votes as well as old friends of,World War I days; Incidentally, Gov. Cherry’s strong suppivt of Senator Umfitead at, the Jefferson Day Dinner has caused J.MB's supporter.s—of which there are more than a handful—to renew their efforts. A strong spurt for the former Governor is apparent in the West, where he has been speaking extensively since the dinner. * * * NOTES.—With the veterans: In cumbent city councilinen in Lenoir were defeated for the first time in 24 years In the recent election there. The campaign of the three new members of the board was man aged by Tom Broughton, who is re garded as a strong candidate for State Tieasiirer . . , Frank Parker of Asheville, State GI Democrats chairman and State Senator from Buncombe, is being pressed to run for Lieutenant Governor . , . James M. Hayes, Jr., Forsyth .representa tive in the 1947 General Assembly, and State Commander of VFW, has been endorsed by the council for vice commander of the National VFW. • • • FOR CONGRESS.—Harry Riddle. Jr., of Morganton is perfecting plans to run for Congress in the Tenth. He’s State Treasurer of the GI Dems and u seasoned Young Democrater. Ed K, Butler of Lumberton Is looking with longing eyes to Con gress in tho Seventh. He's now the county manager of Robeson. Francis Fairley, the Mecklenburg County GI Demo Chairman, _who is prominent in city politics In Char lotte. may also run in the Tenth. For Immediate Delivery HOME FREEZERS Water Pumps & Pipe.
