By a batter than two to one majority
North Carolina Democrat* have
chosen 66-yearf-otd, frock-coated
Clyde Hooy, for their next junior
senator, and by a slimmer bat still
impiuaaiie vote nominated Gregg
choeen 66-yearold, frock - coated
yer, for governor.
Fairly com plate return turned the
race between Hoey, known as the
silver-tangoed orator from Shelby,
and 74-year-old Sep. Cameron Morrison,
into virtually a Hoey landslide,
with Mmilaau fitting to carry even
his hone county of Mecklenburg.
The race between Cherry and Dr.
Ralph McDonald, the Winston-Salem,
educator and militant galas tax foe,
was closer, but the outcome waa so
decisive that McDonald conceded defeat
lem than eight hears after the
ballot-counting began Saturday night.
Cherry led McDonald 173,841 to
127,749, after returns from 1,713 precincts
had been tabnlstot.
Moat heat in the campaign was
generated by the gubernatorial race.
It waa the second time that Dr. McDonald
had1 Uri fer the governor's
office and lost. In 1936 he ran
against Heey, and lost in a second
primary. The 1944 campaign began
listlessly but became heated toward
the end.
McDonaM, however, accepted his
defeat graciously. Accompanied by
his campaign manager, E. D. Broadhurst,
he went to Cherry's headquarters
in the Sir Walter hotel in
Raleigh, and. said.
"My congratulations, Gregg."
Then there waa hand-shaking all
around, among McDonald, Cherry,
Broadhuiet, and Cherry's campaign
manager, W. B. Umstead of Durham.
