NJ^tr BEAUTY SHQPPE Miss Lela Allen is in charge of the new beauty parlor, opned in the Oity Barber Shop. A prize of a free per manent wave is being1 offered for a name for the new establishment ! As has been anticipated ever since Parmer Bob Dough ton announced that | he will not be a candidate for Gov ernor next year, Clyde It. Hoey, of Shelby has tossed his hat into the ring with a formal announcement of his candidacy. The announcement of Hoey followed close on the heels of Lieutenant-Governor Sandy Graham, ?during the last hectic days of the Gen eral Assembly. There are other candidates both active and prosj>ective, but the ones that are attracting attention are Hoey and Graham. Sandy Graham has grown in strength while the General Assembly has been in session, while it is be lieved that Hoey, admittedly the most popular man in the State, has lost to some degree. Just how far-reaching his losses are is not yet known, and is to be seen as the campaign develops. I Graham will have much support from members of the last and former Gen eral Assemblies, and his war record will give him considerable strength among the veterans and with the American Legion, a powerful force in North Carolina. Hoev, the orator of many campaigns is known from one end of the State to the other, and has succeeded, while standing for Prohibition, in not alien ating the wet faction. He cani]iaigned j the State for A1 Smith in 1J>28, and ? refused to run against Bob Reynolds for the Senate. Then he made an other campaign against the repeal of the 18th Amendment, and the drys j hailed him as the leader. In his statement, Mr. Hoey says | that he has no purely personal ambi j tion to be Governor of Xorlh Carolina | but that he has a tremendous interest I in adequate educational facilities, ?n 1 assisting the tenant fanners, in fos 1 tering higher education, in more ade quately compensating the school teach el's and other wage earners, to make more secure their future, and to pro vide for the reasonable necessities of 1 old age among all the people. There follows a sketch of Mr. Hoey ! by Lee B. Weaters: Clyde Roark I lory has for morn ? han two decades hern one of (lie most colorful figures in (lie .public life of North Carolina. Born in Shelby, X. on December 11, 1877, the son of a Con federate ?:rmy officer, ('apt. S. A. ami Mrs. Charlie Roark Hoev, his life story roads very much like a chapter out of fiction iusrtead of real life. The average North Carolinian not familiar with the intimate details of the Shelby man's early life would hardly realize that he has not attend ed schoool since the age of 12 years, except for a short law course in the University of North Carolina summer school. Yet his self-education, si ailed in boyhood when it became necessary to leave school in order to earn his livelihood, has been so thorough t hat for years he has been ranked as ona of the state's leading attorneys am) one of the South 's most outstanding orators. He worked on :? farm, while not at tending school, until the age of 12 ?and then entered a printing office and began work as "the shop devil" to learn the trade. At the age of 17 lm purchased, on credit, the newspapfr for which he worked and became pub lisher and editor thereof. When onlv 20 years of age he was elected lo lh<* State Legislature, serving two terms in the house and one in the St'ale Senate. He studied law, in the mean time, at. night at home and durin* the rare few hours of leisure at tin; printing office, where he was still one of the printers as well as owner and editor. Following a brief study of law one summer at Carolina, he obtained his law license, when just 21 wars of age. and began the practice of law in connection with his news paper work. In 1008. after 14 years as "devil." printer and editor-lawyer he disposed of his newspaper inter ests and has since devoted his full time to the practice of law. Few men have participated in mora political campaigns for the Demo cratic party and, during the last twenty years, he has spoken in prac tically all of the 100 counties in North Carolina. Mr. Hoey's persua ive oratorical talent has been drafted, or rather volunteered, for every state and national campaign of any importance since 1910. Despite his work for the party and its candidates, in which he he has remained consist ently Democratic through victory and defeat, the widely known Shelby at (Oon/anaed on Fife 3)
