Senator Simmons' refus al to suipport Alfred E. Smith, the [iemocratlc nominee for President, in 1928 is expected to be an overshad owing issue in the campaign. 1? "I am running this one to win," de clared Mr. Bailey yesterday afternoon between long distance telephone con versations with supporters in all sec tions of the State. "I ran for Governor in 1924 with out ever asking any man to vote for ice, but I have not met a single man since I announced this morning whom I did'et tell I would appreciate his support and shall keep it Up." Mr. Bailey's willingness to run came as no surprise, but the announce ment of his candidacy did. Some weeks ago Mr. Bailey declared the "integrity of the Democratic party" demanded that Senator Simmons be defeated and stated that he would run if no one else did, stating, how ever, that he would step aside for "any strong man." -- speculation * "refsany~*"si?flr?i wr down to Mr. Bailey, Chief Justice W. P. Stacy and Associate Justice W. J. Brogden of the Supreme Court. Brewdes Steps Aside. ' It became certain on Mcnday that Chief Justice Stacy would not run but at that time it appeared highly probable that Justice Brogden would make the race. That probability in creased in the minds of observers with the passage of days, but after many conferences in Raleigh and Durham Justice Brogden definitely intormcd Mr. Bailey yesterday morn ing that he would not be a candidate 1 basing bis doclinatk-p on financial reasons. Mr. Bailey immediately sent for newspapermen and announced his randidacy. but withheld a prepared statement. . _ J Shaping Probability. "I do not consider my candidacy an individual one and shall take no steps without consultation with those who are interested in my candidacy end shall follow the advice giTen me iu matters of that kiad.'* declared Bailey In response- fcT a question as to who would manage bis cam paign. However. the probability Is that C. I- Shupir.g, Greensboro lawyer who piloted the Bciley campaign for Gov ernor in 1924 will occupy a similar ii role in 1930. Mr. Bailey Is under stood to feel that he wonld Ilka to heve the man who shared bis defsat also share the victory he lnticipates |i in his Senatorial race. "I have three rooms here and shall get a fourth tomorrow and t do sot expect to be practicing law. sol see nc reason why I should not use these offices." was the way Mr Bailey set tied the question of campaign heed quarters. There Is no sort of question about the issue in the forthcoming cam paign. Nor ic there any doubt hut that Mr Bailey will raise it rigor ously. A ccdorful campaign with a probability of great bitterness is generally forecast. BOARD OF HEALTH XEKTS The Franklin County Board of Health met ia regtfar session Jan. I" in the office of Dr. R. F.
