Raleigh Round-Up
Pressure Causes Doughton To
Run Again, Liking Seen For Ike
DECISION . . . Had it not been
for some fast footwork during the
Christmas holidays by a score of
leading North Carolinians, Bob
Doughton last week would have an
nounced his retirement from Con
gress.
While he was home in December
he visited his old friend, former
Governor Came
ron Morrison, out
from Charlotte,
and they solemn
ly discussed the
old days. Dough
ton said his pres
ent term would
be his last. This
is the report wt
received — and
came within an
men ui repurung
early in January Mr> BaUey
that Doughton
would soon retire.
The word got around. North
Carolina folks like to have one of
their representatives chairman of
the Ways and Means committee.
Telephones got busy. Letters were
WTitten. The pressure was applied
to Uncle Bob.
ANOTHER TERM . . . They
“twisted his arm,” as the saying
goes, and he decided for another
go at it, thus disappointing at
least a dozen ambitious young
men in the Ninth District who for
years have been looking longing
ly in the direction of Washing
ton. Their ambitions are not suf
ficiently reckless, however, to
throw them into a race with Bob
Doughton. *
P. S. Aside from the pressure
at home, the other thing keeping
R. L. Doughton in Washington is
his personal ambition to be some
time the senior member of that
body. This honor he has never
had, Congressman Sabath, of Il
linois, being the dean of the
House.
DAUGHTER REBA . . . The prin
cipal person who keeps Uncle Bob
going is none other than Reba
Doughton, his daughter, secretary,
and administrative assistant. Short
ly after Mrs. Doughton died sev
eral years ago, Congressman

Doughton wanted to return to his
farm home on the creek at Laurel
Springs. To capable daughter Reba
goes the responsibility for changing
her dad’s mind. The story is that
he had his announcement of retire
ment written at that time and was
preparing to call in the press when
she heard about it, retrieved from
the hotel mail room some news re
leased for back home papers, and
persuaded Uncle Bob he was need
ed in Washington.
He has been chairman of the
Ways and Means committee since
Roosevelt and the Democrats took
over in 1933—with the exception
of the Republican 80th Congress—
the session which Truman used as
a vehicle in his campaign of 1948.
EISENHOWER . . . Believe it
or not, there seems to be more
interest among Democrats than
. Republicans as regards General
l Eisenhowers presidential plans.
This is certainly true in North
Carolina, where most Democrats
profess to love Ike—if only in
secret—while the Republicans
are sharply and openly divided
between Taft and Eisenhower.
There is an Eisenhower club
in Charlotte, Asheville, another
in Fuquay Springs, and one is in
the process of development in
Raleigh. There may be others in
the state.
John Park, publisher of the i
afternoon newspaper in Raleigh,
has been plugging hard for an
Eisenhower club. Some of the
best citizens in the Capital City
have gone quietly to Park in sup
port of the move, “but for the
Lord’s sake don’t quote me.”
Their fear of being associated
with Republicanism is indicative
of the hard core of the Demo
cratic south. They like Ike, but
dread like the plague any possi
ble GOP stigma. That’s why the I
Eisenhower movement is stut
tering in so many areas. Repub- j
licans may not have hora^ but !
lots of North Carolinians still j
think so.
LETTER . . . The thing that j
burns many Republicans in North j
Carolina to a crisp is Eisenhower’s
upstage attitude, his apparent don’t
give-a-damishness.
“Here he is lined up with the
administration, professing his love
for the administration, working
with the administration, while we
Republicans are ready to sweat
blood to whip the administration.”
said one of the state’s most prom
inent Republicans in private con
versation last week. He is for Taft,
because “we know where he stands,
feel that he is one of us, and know
that he wants the job.”
Well, John Park thought he
would try a gander in Ikes direc
tion just to see what he would come
up with. John wrote an editorial
giving the paper’s support to Eisen
hower, sent it to the general, and
urged him to include Raleigh on
his speaking itinerary.
Eisenhower wrote Park from
Paris last week saying: 1. He felt
complimented at the “friendly opin-j
ions.” 2. He was “gratified” at the !
suggestion of a Raleigh visit; but
3. “my responsibility to the mission
in which I am now assigned will j
not permit a personal participation
in pie-convention activities of any*
sort.” j
All in all, the letter was friendly
enough. It indicated again that
Eisenhower is determined not to do
any pre-convention politicking.
Never has there been such a presi
dential candidate—if he is a can
didate. Technically, a guy can be
a candidate without personally
seeking the office. The dictionary j
says a candidate is “a person who
aspires or is put forward by others
as an aspirant to an office or hon
or.”
It seems the term, “pre-conven
tion,” is the clincher. He might
have said on January 7 in his orig
inal statement about not campaign
ing for the nomination that his mili
tary job would not permit “person
al participation in political activi
ties of any sort during 1952 ”
He didn’t say that. He kept his
foot in the door. Eisenhower may
win the Republican nomination
without setting foot in the United
States, but it isn’t going to be easy.
In my opinion he cannot get the

Friends of able Carl Durham, con

had best get busy. This week Tom
Sawyer, of Durham, announced
against Durham. Sawyer is a lib
eral from the word go. He has
sparked, almost s'nglehandedly a
drive to give veterans of World
War II a bonus in N. C. by float- j

with tax money. lie has advocat

teachers themselves asked for, j
and finally he has sponsored a !

this has a powerful appeal. There
will be a hot campaign in Dur
