in defeating the Charlotte Booster
club 17 to 0. The management ot

fielding and. hitting of Hamrick's

Political Talk In
Race For Governor
i'ON I IMICL f oNfc
v,'rath upon him The Raleigh News
ad Observer reiterated again that
in 1932 Eastern Carolina would not
support any candidate for governor
unleus that candidate would come
out lor full State support of schools
without any school 'ax on land Mr
Ehrlnghaus has not sr id just what
l»' may do about it. Hp may con*
ider tiiat tile best course but when
me controversy first arose lie stated
that discretion should 1 e used m
iir.h a move and that scnool tax on
land should not be abolished and
then popped out the taxpayer in
some other form until it was known
that the new me.hod was the best
( hanging Views
i lien oi me reports from Raleigh
after the legislature adjourned, that
several party leaders theretofore
considered as backing Ehrihghaus,
on the ‘ mum" of course, were pre*
pared to desert him and seek an
other candidate a candidate that
some of the Easterners might not
have been stirred up against When
he first report came out that the
Elizabeth City man had lost some
favor in his home terrl'ory, the edi
tor of a i Elizabeth City newspaper
immediately wrote Raleigh corre
*----—_ .... _ -
spondents that -such reports were
without foundation. Ehnnghaus,
the editor declared, will sweep his
home section, and ic added that In
Ills opinion Ehrlnghaus would carry
the east over Fountain and Brum
mitt.
Oraii Gardner In.
But the reports persisted Some
one in Raleigh seemed to "have It
in" tor the eloquent Elizabeth City
man. Out of Raleigh came dis
patches intimating that Governor
Gardner was secretly supporting
Ehnnghaus There were those who
immediately luterpreted that Inti
mation as an attempt to injure
Ehringhaus by lining Gardner foes
in the east against him. This week
the report drew a reply from Gov
ernor Gardner, in which the chief
executive stated that he was not
backing any candidate as his suc
cessor.
But the Gardner statement failed
to quiet the rumors. A Shelby man
just back from Raleigh, a man who
knows quite a bit about the politi
cal game, informs that general talk
there has it that some of the potent
j political powers are prepared to
I concentrate on a new candidate.
Heretofore, he says, their man was
! Ehringhaus. But now they're afraid,
these boys who test out public sen
timent, that Eastern Carolina farm
ers are afraid the Elizabeth City
man is too friendly with the indus
[trial Interests of the Piedmont and
they're afraid, too. that the indus
trial interests may think he Is too
close to the Easterti element. He
may be neither one, and. according
to the Shelby man, is for the best
Interests of all sections of the state.
Nevertheless the political seers are
worried. What do they care about
the ability of a prospective governor
if there Is a possibility that wind
jammers and bolshevekic faction.;
may magnify his flaws? The Shel
by man, who attempted to get to
the bottom of the rumors and find
out what is likely to happen, was not
able to pick up much of the inside
movements. There are indications,
he says, that the organization that
succeeded- the "Simmons machine
may get behind Attorney General
Brummitt and put him through,
and there is a likelihood, too, that
Fountain will be their favorite. But
the longest odds, he believes, are
that some new candidate will be in
jected into the scene soon—one who
has not been thought of very much,
up to this writing, as prospective
governor.
In the meantime Democrats of the
Shelby section Will await develop
ments with considerable interest.
The voters of this section "fell for"
Ehringhaus, his pleasing personality
and his oratorical ability when he
spoke here during the 1928 cam
paign. His popularity increased
when he returned for another ad
dress a year or so later. As It Is now,
It will take much political Influence
and an abundance of high-powered
oratory to establish another guber
natorial favorite over the Elizabeth
City man hereabouts.
