FORMER GOVERNOR
J. MELVILLE BROUGHTON
TOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE
Editorial from the Wilmington (ft. C.) Sunday Star-l%etvs
"LET THE PEOPLE CHOOSE"
The best of all indicators of what may be
expectecf of a man seeking a great responsi
bility is his past record in a' comparable
position.
As the candidates go before the people of
North Carolina in the current political cam
paign, the thought expressed most often about
this or that one is in the form of a question
?What has he done to prove that he is ca
pable of the new role he seeks in public
service? ,
I
And of all before those voters today, none
has a better answer than J. Melville Brough
ton, North Carolina's war-time governor who
is now a candidate for nomination to the
United States Senate in the May 29 Demo
cratic primary.
That answer is in the form of a record
of progressive public service unsurpassed in
North Carolina in recent years. Now is an
appropriate time to review it briefly. As we
do, twelve outstanding achievements high
light his administration as the state's Chief
Executive from January 7, 1941 to January 4,
1945, one of the most critical periods in the
state's modern life.
These accomplishments, in which every
citizen benefited, are:
Enactment of teacher and state em
ployes retirement law; Legislation add
ing 12th grade to the public school
system; Nine month school law; State
aid to public libraries; Reorganization of
state hospitals and correctional institu
tions nnder consolidated boards; re
moval of sales tax from all food for
home consumption; enlarged appropri
ations for agricultural experiment and
research; notable expansion of the
schools of dairying and agriculture and
the textile and engineering schools at
N. C. State College; establishment of the
first State vocational school in the his
tory of the state, being the textile school
in Gaston County; inaugurated broad
program of mineral research and devel
opment of mineral resources; organiza
tion of Civilian Defense program during
the war, and launching of movement for
broad medical care and hospital pro
gram and appointment of commission
to recommend appropriate legislation,
which recommendations were later en
acted into law.
For an administration to have done so
much for its state in a four-year period
means that its leader was not only keenly
aware of the varied and numerous needs of
the people, but had the outstanding ability to
do something about fulfilling them. It is most
difficult to recall a North Carolinian better
informed than Mr. Broughton on the state's
people, their problems and, most important,
their future destiny in one of the great com
monwealths of the republic.
His return to the role of private citizen
has not diminished his forceful interest in his
state.
The past years have seen him using his
fine talents and valuable time in behalf of
expansion of industry, development of state
ports, betterment of agriculture and numer
ous other concerted programs to improve all
North Carolina.
His campaign, conducted with all the dig
nity befitting the office he seeks, is based on
one theme?Let the people choose.
"The people of the state will deter
mine whether or not my experience and
service as Governor, legislator and in
other public capacities qualify me to
serve as their representative in the Sen
ate of the United States," Mr. Broughton
said in his original announcement. "My
campaign will be addressed to the peo
ple. Gubernatorial appointment, under
the statute, has filled the temporary va
cancy caused by death; but only the
people by their votes can decide who
will represent them in the Senate for
the full term.
"If I am nominated and elected, as I
confidently expect to be, I will owe no
allegiance except to the people. To their
service and to the national welfare I
will dedicate all the energy and ability
that I possess."
On the basis of his outstanding four-year
record in the state's highest office, his con
tinuous, intense interest in the state's whole
welfare and his ability and determination
to serve with distinction in the world's
greatest parliamentary body, we believe the
peopie of North Carolina will choose J.
Melville Broughton as their next U. S.
Senator.
