Talk Of Stacy And Gov. McLean
For Simmons’ Seat In Senate
Thought, However, That Staey
Would Not Oppose McLean If
j Latter Should Run.
i Raleigh—Although there is no
direct connection between specula
! tion with regard to who, If any one.
) will oppose Senator P. M. Simmons
I for senator in 1930, if he is a can
didate the« to succeed himself, and
i the present Democratic campaign
in North Carolina, there Is a de
cided underlying connection. As a
result, considerable interest is being
shown in the report that Chief
Justice Walter P. Stacy, of the
state supreme court, may be a can
didate to oppose Simmons in 1930.
Although Chief Justice Stacy
naturally will not discuss the mat
ter, a number of his friends re
port that since the publication of a
story a few days ago that he was
being mentioned by a number of
leaders in the eastern part of the
state as the most logical man to
oppose Senator Simmons in 1930,
he has received more than one
hundred letters frcm people in all
sections of the state urging him to
become a candidate, and assuring
him of their support.
This news is being received with
especial approval by the “regular”
Democrats who are supporting
Governor Smith and the national
ticket all the way through, and
who are bitterly disappointed at
the stand which Simmons has tak
en in consistently refusing to sup
port Smith, and m encouraging the
anti-Smith movement. These “reg
ular” Democrats believe that Chief
Justice Stacy is one of the few men
who can successfully oppose Sena
tor Simmons, if he decides to seek
re-election on his record in 1930,
as he has recently announced he
! intended to do. Until recently a
good many had thought that Sena
tor Simmons would probably retire
1 at the expiration of his present
term. But recent developments
| seem to have again aroused his
fighting blood with the result that
the majority expect to see him run
again in 1930 if he i» still living
and his health will permit.
But there is another serious con
sideration that must be taken
cognizance of in this connection—
the status of Governor A. W. Me
Lean and the general understand
ing that has seemed to prevail for
sometime that McLean would suc
ceed Simmons in the senate, but
not until Simmons tormally retir
ed from politics.
And this greatly complicates the
entire situation.
For it is takm for granted that
McLean will not oppose Simmons
as long as Simmons desires to re
main in the senate. Thus the long
distance political prophets think it
unlikely that McLean could be pre
vailed upon to onpose Simmons for
the nomination in 1930, if he still
desires to be a candidate then. But
they do think that Stacy can be
prevailed upon to oppose Simmons
then. And if Stacy should be nom
inated and elected, that of course
would mean the v irtual end of Mc
Lean's senatorial aspirations, since
it is more or less of a habit in
North Carolina to keep senators in
office virtually tor life and "few
die and none resign.’’
There is still another considera
tion. Stacy has been for years a
warm personal and political friend
of Governor McLean's Not only!
that, but he was appointed chief |
justice by McLean, and owes Me-1
Lean much for whatever he has at
tained to politically so far. Would
Stacy, then, be willing to become
a candidate for the senate in oppo
sition to Simmons, knowing that
if lie should win the nomination
and election, he would: be blocking
McLean from becoming senator?
Many who know both men well
doubt if lie would be. And some !
think that if the present resent- j
merit against Simmons continues j
until iO.it) that by that time Me-j
Lean might decide to oppo. •> him j
for the nominate n. And if this I
should be the 'ease, it Is believed
that Stacy would abdicate in favor j
of McLean—provided it still ap
pears two years hence that Mc
Lean could be nominated.
Of course there is the possibil
ity that McLean may not want to
become senator from North Caro
lina,, despite the general belief now
that he does. For some say now
that whereas he once had that am
bition, that being governor of
North Carolina has just about
cured, him, and that when he com
pletes his present term as gover
nor, he desires to retire to private
life. But there are others who
maintain just as vigorously that
McLean still desires to wear the
senatorial toga.
At any rate, there is no doubt
that the prospective senatorial
situation has been materially more,
complicated by bringing Stacy info
it. I

| Thirty-Dollar-a-Week Job May Be Qtep
i Toward White House Wedding
rpHTRTY dollars a week may not
be a munificent Income. But
If a young man has ambition, per
)
severance and Yankee Ingenuity
it can be the beginning of a yearly
salary sufficient for two people—
in love, at least—to get along on.
If a young girl in Connecticut is
reasoning along these lines, the
strains of a wedding march may
be heard in the beautiful house at
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washing
ton, D. C., before the lease of the
present tenants expire.
Admits “Understanding’*
This, from latest reports, would
seem to be the status of the most
$ talked about romance in America
lj today—the “understanding”
which exists between charming
■I Florence Trumbull, daughter of
I the governor of Connecticut, and
young John Coolidge, only son of
the president and Mrs. Coolidge.
At least, "understanding” is what
« .Miss Trumbull calls it. Reports
! of an engagement are premature,
she assured news gatherers upon
her recent arrival in New York
from abroad, because John isn’t
earning enough to get married on.
But the use of that word "under
standing” was enough to satisfy
romantic millions, who see the pos
sibility of a "White House wed
ding” before the Coolidges turn
over the executive mansion to their
successors.
Frequent visitors
Friends of the couple believe'
1 that the ceremony cannot be far
off. 'While no announcement, of
course, has been made by the par
ents of either, amateur social de
tectives place a great stock in the
fact that^the Trumbulls and the
| Coolidges were not even acquaint
ed before John and Florence began
"dating.” Now, the Trumbulls are
frecjuent White House guests. Even
more significant, they say, i3 the
fact that during Mrs. Coolidge's
illness last winter, w hen the White !

mer home.
one, the Trumbulls called often.
Those who know John's mother
and his fiancee remark the simi
larity in the personalities of the
two. Both are persons of charm,
poise and dignity. This means,
among other things, that there will
he no more publicity connected
with their romance than Miss
Trumbull can help. She has con
sistently refused to let herself be
“misunderstood" in any of her ref
erences to herself and John. She
has been frank, however, and this,
primarily, is wdiat has raised the
hopes of those who thrill at the
mention of a romantic wedding
with the White House prominent
■in tba t.AcVjrrnnr.d.
In appearance, John's fiancee Is
not “ftapperish,” She Is above
medium height, has reddish gold
hair, an aristocratic and some- j
what piquant'nose. She loves to
dance, read, ice skate and indulge
in all the normal outdoor sports
that the typical American girl to
day enjoys.
Again like her rumored mother
in-law-to-be, Miss Trumbull par
ries questions of interviewers. ■'
“Really, my opinions are still
changing. I haven’t settled con
victions yet," is one o£ her fa
vorite replies to tactless question
era. s-iqpnimnj,ifMMKt- ■
