Danbury, N. C, Thursday, Feb. 21. 1914
(An E.ii orini.)
Will It. Be McDonald?
Dr. Ralph McDonald of Chanel 11i I i
and Winston-Salem spent last Thursday
in Danbury.
Dr. McDonald is a candidate for the
same ofMcc for which he was defeaied in
the 1936 primary—Governoroofl f North
Carolina.
The reception of Dr. McDonald here
appeared to be very favorable. He is a
very affable, courteous and cultured
gentleman. He makes friends.
In 1906 Hoey's majority over McDon
ald in the first State primary was 4,000.
When Graham dropped ou in the sec
ond primary Hoey won by a majority or
only 55,000.
In that year a very strong- fight was
made on McDonald, while his opponent
was in the zenith of his popularity.
This year there appears no bitterness
in the gubernatorial campaign now be
ginning to open.
While he was in Danbury the Reporter,
which opposed McDonald in 1936,
sought an interview with the candidate
which was graciously granted. He ex
pressed his pleasure at becoming better
acquainted with the people of Stokes,
and stated his purpose to address the
people in the courthouse later on.
Dr. McDonald stated that it was his
purpose to be of special benefit to the
county, if he became Governor, in the
matter of roads. He said Stokes had not
enjoyed the benefits of highway con
struction or maintenance which many
other counties had participated in. He
declared that he very strongly favored a
hard surface road from Pilot Mountain
through the heart of Stokes via Danbury
to Madison. He said he would urge this
road not only because Stokes county de
served it, but carrying out the State's
well known policy of giving direct coun
ty-seat to county-seat connections, and
that such construction would be \only
tn Surry, Stokes and Rocking
ham counties.
He urged further that th§ highway
from Westfield to Danbury, No. 89,
should be completed, straightened and
improved, and that a modern highway
should be built from Walnut Cove to
Be lews Creek.
Dr. McDonald also stressed strongly
the cL.'li ability of building addi
tional neighborhood-t.) - market roads
(the side cr collateral roads* and im
proving those already in use.
He believes that the enormous surplus
of highway funds should be used to a
great extent in tlieso needed cn
terprises, and that if elected he would
strongly favor such action.
Dr. McDonald believes that the State
highway personnel is too poorly paid,
and that they together with the school
teachers and many other state employes
should be better paid.
He says the funds are at hand and
should be used for a better road system,
improved educational facilities and gen
erally better pay for the underpaid em
