Umstead, now fully | recovered'from a throat ailment, which prevented his tossing his hat into the race against Dr. Frank Graham. Apparently he Is > staying pretty well out of the Senate battle so far,, but he Is considered a candidate .for Governor for 1952-66. Reports have it that he is now running in a quiet' way fpr this office. He was all set to make a bid for the gubernatorial post when the late Sen. Bailey'e seat |n the U. S. Senate had to be filled. j Umstead was persuaded to accept the appointment, which he did, later dropping a close decision to J. M. Broughton. Now the talk fills the air again and unless j something very unusual happens, he will be in there pitching two years hence.

If there was pessimism, they managed to keep it well hidden. Mumps has laid many a North Carolina kid low within the past six months, but nobody thought it would move into Graham' headquarters. With the head-banging that Is now in progress in this Senate battle, it's no time for anybody to have anything except good health and an iron constitution. THE PAPERS ... In the summer and fall of 1948, Presidential Candidate Harry S. Truman won out with about 75 to 80 per cent of the Nation's leading ' papers against him. It now looks as if Senatorial Candidate Willis Smith will have to do likewise. No formal and definite check has been made, but opinion here is that 85 per cent of the daily papers in North Carolina are backing Frank (Continued On Page Eight) Announcing Change Of Office Location MAPLE STRIFT - Near OM Tannery See Us For Estimates On Your Building We Con Give You A Contract Price Phone 767-J North WilkeSbora r: eAt"" *** " EACH MONTH sttawnuM^P/C/si St«t«vilU.
