Hoey Praised As
He Declines Race
For Senate Seat

him. He is senatorial size and a most
likeable man personally "'
The Charlotte Observer says
"The only cause for surprise in
connection with Hon. Clyde Hoey's
announcement that he will not be
a candidate for the United States
senate in 1932 is that he has taken
the step necessary to stop the spec
ulation now instead of later. His
action last year, upon the death of
the late Senator Overman, in step
ping aside in favor of the appoint
ment of Hon. Cameron Morrison,
might have been accepted as an in
dication of his intention to stay out
of the race for nomination and
election next year. However, there
has been persistent speculation all
the while as to whether he would
enter the contest against Senator
Morrison and the otner three can
didates. It was difficult to figure
out, If the distinguished Shelby cit
izen. lawyer, orator and former con
gressman desired and Intended to
!seek a seat In the senate, how he
could have thought to gain any
thing by renouncing his ambitions
in favor of Mr. Morrison at the
time an appointment was to be
made.
"In any event, however, his defin
ite announcement that he will not
enter the contest goes far toward
clarifying the political situation in
the state, as regards the senatorial
race Mr Hoey is not only a Dem
ocrat of outstanding ability, but is
one of the most popular among the
leaders of his party, and there are
tens of thousands of voters all over
the state who would delight to hon
or him Hosts of his political friends
and admirers, however, are also the
friends and admirers of Senator
Morrison, and the distinguished
Charlotte man stands to gain, much
rather than lose anything by Ihe
announced determination of his
Shelby friend not to contend for
the high honor ’

much to set speculation at rest.
Friends of the senator contend also
that Mi Hoey's voluntary erase
rnent from the scene is a further
indication that Mr. Morrison will
win, since a great majority of those
who would have supported Mr. Hoey
as between the two will throw their
allegiance to the Charlotte man
Mr. Reynolds, however, will get a
fauly good vote, it is believed. When
he ran against Senator Overman
whose seat Mr. Morrison was ap
Jointed by Governor Gardner to fill
until the expiration of the late sen
ators term next year, he gathered
in approximately 92.000 votes. If he
cau do that this year. which the
senator's friends say he cannot, his
vote combined with the vote that
will be collected by Judge Tam C.
Bowie and Frank Grist will be
targe enough to force a .•econd .pri
mary. it is generally felt
The Asheville man, sav his ad
herents, will receive surprising sup
port because of his advocacy of a
change in the national liquor laws.
They contend that wet sentiment,
or rather sentiment for a modifi
cation of the present prohibition
set-up, is growing steadily on the
grounds that national prohibition
cannot be enforced and that the
failure of its enforcement has been
amply demonstrated.
