Political Speculation Is Rife In Raleigh During Assembly Dally OiMMlrii Bureau. Ill the Sir Waller Hotel. By LYNN NI8BKT Malcigh, Jan. IK—Despite the fact that many high ranking officials. in cluding both Incumbent United! States senator.s from North Carolina, < attained their political prominence | in the General Assembly, the leg-' islaturc is still Kc-fior.iI ly regarded | as the starting place for political ca reers. Consequently every session of the General Assembly has great influ < nee on political campaigns. Each governor's first legislature is largely controlled by executive wishes, for two obvious reasons: generally a ma jority of the membership camc into off'ce on tiie same wave that brought about the governor's nomination and election; and in the second place the ehicf executive has enough patron age tit his disposal to hold a good following. The mid-term or off-year sessions of the assembly are not so amen able to the governor, but more at tention is given to prospective can didates for the next time. Every off-year session since 1919 has de veloped at least one vigorous con tender for the governorship. Tim (Continued on I'ago Three.)
