THROUGH STATE
CAPITAL KEYHOLES
• By Bess Hinton Silver
LOOKING AHEAD—Much has been
said and not a little done about
who will be r.ejct governor of North
Carolina but some folks are far ahead
of that.
Long visioned men in politics are
already pondering who will be gov
ernor in 19-10 when the honor will
return to the east. Although a lot of
dust will blow down the secondary
roads of North Carolina before that
time there is no que-tion that State
Treasurer Charles M. Johnson is
being groomed for a gubernatorial
candidate in the year that President
Roosevelt will complete his second
u-rm. Watch Mr. Johnson's smoke.
BACHELORS—The recent wedding
of Assistant Director of the State
Budget Frank Dunlap leaves only
three unmarried officials among the
upper erust of state officialdom.
These eligibles for blondes and bru
nettes arc: Wm. \. Graham, commis
sioner of agriculture: Edwin M. Gill,
parole commissioner: and A. J- Max
well, commissioner of revenue. Don’t
get excited i# the trio is reduced to a
duet since a most persistent rumor
has one of the three slated for double
harness in the near future. Mr. Dun
lap was married t > the charming
Mi; ■ Kate Leak, of Wadesboro. j
A BIT NEGATIVE—Former Lieu
tenant Governor Richard T. Foun
tain, who made a good bit unsuccess
ful sprint for the gubernatorial
nomination against Governor Ehring
iiaus ill 19i>2 will not say that he is
going to run against Senator J. W.
Bailej in 1900 but then he wilj r.ot
say that he will not seek Mr. Bailey's
toga. When last asked for publica-.
tion if he would run, the enigmatic
Mr. Fountain replied. "I won't say
that I won’t.” Mr. Fountain is a;
business man these days and his busi-!
ness takes him over the state quite
often. He is a past-master at mixing ,
business and politics. The logical.
conclusion is that while he may not j
have decided to run ho :s not burning j
any bridge*.
STALKING HORSE—Capitol Hiil is j
not taking too seriously all this [
talk about State Senator John Sprunt
Hill, of Durham, running for gov
ernor in 1?3G.
Close friends of Mr. Hill avow that
lie harbors no greater political ambi
tion th r to represent his district in
the legislature but they also whisper
that he would not like to see Lieuten
ant Governor A. H. Graham win the
democratic gubernatorial nomination.
You can hear in some places that Mr.
Hill will run Against Mr. Graham
just to split his strength in Durham,
0range and surrounding counties. Put
this down in your little blue book—
Senator Hill has enough 60~:ent dol
lars and the intestinal fortitude to
run for governor if the notion strikes
thim.
JOHN BARLEYCORN — Although
many Raleigh political writers have
freely predicted that modification of
(lie state’s liquor laws is a long dis
tance in the future, the drys smell a
souse and are not to be caught
napping. Cale K. Burgess, who dir
ected the ditching of repeal in North
Carolina last November is active
lignin, writing drys that money will
be needed to keep the state a Sahara
hiring the next legislature.
AEAL ISSUE—The fight over adop
tion of the proposed revised con
, .siitution for North Carolina is taking
n the appearance of an administra
tion and anti-administration battle.
Looking over the list of opponents
you will find the name of Attorney
Ui neral Dennis G. Brummitt, R. T.
: Ft untain, who lost in the 1932 guber
natorial scrap and a host of his sup
j porters. On the other side you will see
administration stalwarts. One promi
* ner.t attorney remarks that it looks
like political prejudice is going to de
j tevmine the kind of constitution
North Carolina will have for a
I while.
[invites TROUBLE—Raileigh poli
ticians are of the opinion that
I Governor Ehringhaus throws crumbs
in his own bed by delaying appoint
I meuts that come his way. They recall
several occasions on which the gov
ernor has postponed naming appoin
tees while partisans of candidates
rganized campaigns that gave his
excellency little rest He lost no time
in naming a successor to the late
Justice Walter Adams and paying
several political obligations before
Justice Michael Schenck ascended to
the supreme court bench. But in fill
ing the vacancy on the industrial j
commission left open by the resigna
tion of Chairman Matt H. Alien the !
governor again took his own sweet |
time while lines formed behind sev
eral candidates for the post.
COUNTER ATTACK—Just a few
days ago the office of commissioner
< f revenue was made appointive in- .
stead of elective on the premise that
this important position should be kept ,
free of politics. Recently the revenue
department has set about the task ol
collecting all taxes due the state and
that ha- not been popular. Now there
is talk of making the office elective
again. One member of the next legis- i
lature is making solemn vows to
introduce a bill to make the revenue
commissioner run for office._I
