Local Legion posts and auxiliaries are bearing the expense
of sending nine Carteret county pupils to this year's meetings.
Their interest in work of the state units in conducting Boys' and

for Mrs. Albright, Mr. Albright
would have sided with W. Kerr
Scott and might have gone so far
as to move over to the Scott head
quarters at the Carolina Hotel
here.
Information . . . correct dope
. . . has it that Albright was on
the verge, but Frances ... a Wash
ington, D. C, girl, would not con
sent. NOT QUITE NEUTRAL J. M.
Broughton, your new U. S. Sena
tor .. . as of November ... is in
a position to build a strong politi
cal machine in North Caroliia.
The late F. M. Simmons had a ma
chine which rode rough-shod over
virtually all opposition for approx
imately 25 years . . . until Al Smith
overtook him In 1928 and knocked
him out of the big leagues with
J. W. Bailey in 1930.
Is J. M. Broughton neutral i
this Covernpr's race? Well.j n
notquite. T He feels he was sol
down the river in tea counties . ,'.
and he is going to see to It that
Johnson supporters suffer in those
counties in the second Primary on
June 26. That's the report . . .
and it comes straight. Otherwise,
Broughton is expected to go fish
ing.
MACHINE? J. M. Broughton is
not a machine man. Neither was
Hoey ... nor was J. C. B. Ehring
haus. That is, these men did not
try to build machines around
themselves. They carried on one
that the late Max Gardner built
in 1928-1932. Gardner had one
. . . and it still functions better
than you might suspect. He built
it, because he knew that the Sim
mons machine got him in 1920 ...
doubtecrossed him at the last mo
ment in favor of Cameron Morri
son. And so he had to wait eight
years to become Governor. He
saw the value of a machine. As It
happened, the Gardner machine
had good Governors.
J. M. Broughton can form an or
ganization as strong as that which
Simmons had . , or Gardner. The
Gardner followers still run the
State Revenue Department, the
Department of Cfinservation and
Development, the ABC setup, the
Local Government combine, etc.,
but it is out of the tate Highway
Commission and several other very
important- departments. That's
why there is so much confusion a
bout who will be the next Gover
nor. Johnson has part of the orig
inal Gardner workings, but so has
Scott, it seems.
JUST A PRELIMINARY The
Charles M. Johnson forces, al
though disappointed at the show
ing their candidate made in the
first Primary, are looking on It as
merely a preliminary hearing.
They view the June 26 thing as an
entirely new battle.' They have
Don Elias (the raido boys have
been calling him "Eelyus" with the
accent on the "Ee") in Raleigh as
another manager. He's from Ashe-
ville. Oscar Pitts, also of Ashe-
ville, was in Raleigh last week.
Claud Ramsey ef Asheville will as
sist with the publicity. So, Ashe
ville. the "capital of Western
North Carolina," which did. so well
for Charles M. Johnson in the May
29 affair, will be in the saddle
from now through June 26. They

THE candidate in 1953 . .... foi
Governor. This will mean side
tracking Oscar Richardson ef Un
ton County ... if the Hodges plan
goes through. That's the way the
grand strategy shapeswup from this
corner.
POST- CnABUATE
W. Kerr Scott is elected Governor,
Capus Waynick WILL NOT BE
chairman of the State Highway
Commission, contrary to what you
may have heard. Scott says that
Waynick has not been offered any
State position whatever . . . and
does not want one.
AT LEAST SIX Ed Marti 1,
who handled Mayne Albright's
campaign in Ashevillc and Bun
combe County, will assist with
Scott's from here on out. At least
six Alhricht county managers have
joined Scott since May 29.
FAVORING JOHNSON There
will be few local contests on June
26, and the local politicians will
be free to line up with whom they
choose. The vote should be even
less than on May 29, which also
iavs Johnson. Although . John
son stalwarts squandered moaejby
the bushef In the first Primary, it
is rumored they still have plenty
for the second. Although money
failed to send Bill Umstead to the
Senate again, there is still plenty
of confidence phced in it as a
vote-getter ... as well there might
be.
SCOTT BURDEN With his orig
inal vote and two-thirds of Al
bright's, W. Kerr Scott will win.
In fact, many county leaders .
believing he is destined to be the'
next Governor . . . and wanting to
be with the winner . . . made the
telephone lines leading to the Scott
headquarters hot last week. On
Monday morning following the
Primary one State manufacturer
who cant afford it offered finan
cial support well into five figures
for Scott.
The Scott burden: getting out a
large vote; fighting overconfi
dence; and maintaining enthus
iasm. '

and the second, the road contrac
tors told Hoey they would see to

he would be nominated Governor
if he would let out Capus Waynick
as chairman of the State Highway
Commission. Waynick was very
