Little Comment Here
\ On Governor’s Race
tCONTINUED FROM PAUL ONE i
senate isn't even being talked. Sen
ator Morrison and Messrs. Grist,
1 Reynolds and Bowie haven't man
aged to get the Junior capital ex
cited. But there Isn't any doubt but
what they will.
The best explanation of the local
silence about the senate race Is
Clyde Hoey. No one about Shelby
and Cleveland county Intends to
express . himself or herself until
they know what their home-county
Idol Is going to do. If he should en
ter the race, and no one unless it be
his wife seems to have an Idea about
it, then Cleveland county would
come pretty near voting a straight
ticket for Clyde Hoey as they did
when he ran for congress. When
Mr. Hoey says he will not run. if he
does, then the lid will be pried off
the senatorial campaign here. Sen
ator Cam has many loyal friends
In the county and it Is not so very
difficult to find a few who are what
The Greensboro News calls ‘ un
friends” to him. Reynolds, because
of his frank statement about pro
hibition, wdll get some support. All
Cleveland county people, if it does
not sound like a cross-word puzzle,
do not vote dry and drink wet.
neither do all the wet drinkers vote
dry. Grist will get a scattering vote
and so will Bowie, but the opinion
here is that Bowie has been too ar
dent In his courtship of the eastern
! Carolina voters.
But anything may happen locai
! ly in politics in ten months time.
There's even a whisper or two to be
heard about county races

Urges Session
Of Congress To
Work Solution
K.Ot.l (•'ROM CAUJS U.Mvi
dy will already have been enacted.
“I can think of nothing more un
sound than state legislation com
pelling the abandonment of cotton
growing In the south without some
binding agreement with foreign
growers to put into effect the same
drastic limitations. The several cot
ton states can make no treaty with
a foreign government. That Is sole
ly the function of the federal gov
ernment. In my judgment this
movement should begin with a uni
fied policy adopted by the national
government and come down to the
producing states Instead of begin
ning In confusion with the several
state legislatures and finally head
ing up in congress, as it Inevitably
would.
What the cotton state* demand
at this critical hour is national
leadership. We are not dealing with
a state issue. If the twelve gover
nors of the cotton producing states
were to call special sessions of the
legislature without knowledge from
Washington of the national policy,
and International cooperation, we
would probably enact a different
statue in each state, based upon lo
cal conditions and the whole busi
ness would wind up in chaos worse
confused.
"I, therefore, urge President
Hoover to call an immediate session
of congress, in order that we may
formulate a sound national cotton
policy with respect to overproduc
tion, reduction in acreage, price
stabilization, marketing and ware
housing, and such reciprocal agree
ments with other countries as may
be practical. To such a policy I feel
confident every southern governor,
and every cotton producing section,
will give wholehearted support and
cooperation.”,
