NEWS AND COMMENTS FROM RALEIGH
Capital Letters
BY THOMPSON GREENWOOD
WILL RUN—Secretary of State
Thad Eure still insists that he will
be a candidate for the U. S. Senate
next time if the only candidates
are J. W. Bailey and J. M.
Broughton. Thad figures that since
neither of these men is a veteran,
the ex-GIs will want somebody
in there pitching for them. A vet
eran of World War I, Eure thinks
he could grab a large portion of
that GI vote which is still largely
disorganized except on a county
basis.
HOME—Senator J. W. Bailey,
who hasn’t recovered from his se
rious illness this spring, is now |
back at his home on Blount Street
in Raleigh. Anyhow, word was out I
two weeks ago that he was return
ing—but nothing has been seen
about it in the local press within
the last few days. As pointed out
here at some length last week, the
N. C. Senator in Washington now
is Clyde R. Hoey.
The question being asked around
rather sharply is: “Do you think
Bailey is going to resign?” Well,
you can never tell about those
things. Carter Glass was ill for
about four years, but he stayed in
the Senate. So, if Bailey remains
sick and doesn’t want to give up
his seat, he has excellent precedent
for doing this.
BEHIND THE NEWS—There is
always news behind the news.
Some weeks ago the rumor was out
—and this column did nothing to
squelch it—that Bailey might re
sign. Finally, his office in Wash

ington issued a vigorous blast at
these reports, saying that he had
no idea of resigning.
While this may be true, the
feeling around Raleigh is that the
story about his not resigning had
its birth in the Durham-Chapel
Hill area, which is noted for its
writers—editorial and otherwise.
The Orange county fellows, John
Uinstead and his cohorts, do not
want Bailey to resign. If he does,
that means that William Umstead
of Durham, chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee,
will be appointed to fill the va
cancy. If that should happen, Wil
liam would not be a candidate for
governor and couldn’t do nearly
as much for the University in
Washington as he could do as gov
ernor in Raleigh. So the thought
of Bailey’s resigning just makes
’em sick—or that’s the Raleigh
version.
NOTES — The “Lost Colony”,
Paul Green’s noted symphonic
drama, is just as good this year
as ever. The costumes are even
better . . . but the weather has
been terrible and the show got off
to a bad start. Last week the skies
were nice, but who can tell about
the weather these days? . . . Give
much of the credit for the play’s
nice publicity to Woodrow Price
of the News and Observer, who has
been on a leave of absence drum
beating the show . . . They are
saying that the ideal seashore va
cation is Nags Head plus the “Lost
Colony” . . . But on the other
hand, the temperature slipped
down near the frost degrees in the
mountains one night last week . . .
the balanced state . . . and the
mountains are hard to beat . . .
The Northern papers are carry
ing full-page spreads on the Dick
Reynolds divorce—about his leav
ing a wife and four boys to take
off with the daughter of a New
York (East Side) boxer . . . but
the state papers have entirely ov
erlooked, purposely or otherwise,
the recent divorce in a family just
as well known in North Carolina
as Reynolds’. That’s all, brother
. . . This is no Winchell column . . .
TOO MUCH — One very wet
brother (he voted that way and
drank the same), who was being
mentioned as a candidate for gov
ernor some time back is said to be
completely out of the running now
. . . too much strong drink. How
ever, he won a political battle last
spring amidst all this guggling—
and he’s still a keen political ana
lyst (that means he knows how to
get around among ’em, so don’t
sell him short . . .
SECOND MAN—Although there
is still more doubt than anything
else regarding gubernatorial can
didates for 1948, nobody seems to
have any idea who will run for Lt.
Gov. in ’48. The talk around Ra
leigh now comes down to Reg Har
ris of Roxboro, who will be in the
House next term, who was Lt.
Gov. in 1941-45, and who is most
recently remembered for his strong
advocacy of Thurmond Chatham
for Congresss—defeated.
But despite his defeat by vet
e r a n Frank Parker, Brandon
Hodges of Buncombe is still being
counted on to make the race . . .
providing he can continue to get
along with the new political bosses
in his bailiwick. He seems to be
doing all right at the moment, but
these relationships are treacher
ous.
ROUNDS—The Advisory Budg
et Commission, accompanied by a
large portion of the North Caro
lina press in the person of inde
fatigable Lynn Nisbit, is making its
biennial rounds. It was thought
that two members, Irving Carlyle
of Winston-Salem and Hodges of
Asheville, would not show a great
deal of interest because of their

defeats . . . but they are right in
there pitching. And their whip
pings haven’t taken a thing from
their value as holders of the
state’s purse strings—in fact, they
may be stronger than would have
otherwise been the case. Defeats
sometimes enhance one’s strength.
CANDIDATE?—Now that Tom
Pearsall has smooth sailing for
Speaker of the House, his name is
being revived in connection with
the race for Governor in 1948.
Pearsall is known as a “fine man”
. . . a little reactionary at times,
but generally speaking a whole
some, stout-hearted fellow. He’s a
University man, was a lawyer,
married into the land-rich Bras
well family at Rocky Mount and
now is superintendent of all the
Braswell acres. He’s been written
up in several of the big magazines
for the fine way he handles his
farm labor and so on. He has been
a strong leader in the past two
legislatures. Pearsall could make
a good run if he could get that
“still young” idea out of his mind.
With all these veterans coming
along (but fast!), it’s going to be
now or never with many of the
non-vets.
Pearsall is a man of fine habits.
Doesn’t smoke and neither does he
drink. But of course Lt. Gov.
(Stag) Ballentine does neither of
these things, is a veteran of World
War I, and somewhat resembles
Or Man River in his candidacy for
Governor (he just keeps rolling
and running along).
HEARD AND SEEN—Miss Eth
el Parker, member of the State
Board of Agriculture and in her
late forties, operates a big farm
in Gates county, gets out on horse
back and shoots squirrels with a
.22 rifle before breakfast , . . and
she couldn’t leave her farm for
more than a day ... so she flew
to the Agriculture Board meet
ing in Asheville on, Thursday, July
25, flying back that night . . . pri
vate plane . . . beat that.
The N. C. Tobacco Advisory
Council holds its first out-of-Ra
leigh meeting in Winston-Salem
on Aug. 2 . . . Other meetings will
be held in other tobacco towns . . .
They say that Congresswoman
Jane Pratt is already figuring on
opposing C. B. Deane, Congress
man-elect, for this place in 1948
. . . John Lang, now out of the
army, is working with Capus Way
nick in the latter’s plan for a
State health association, which
would do for health what the Cit
izens Association is planning to do
with taxes . . . something about
it.
