JULY 1. 1932 m,,« TWINKLES The Democratic convention seated Huey Long, the Lou isian* showman, hut it may find it a more difficult., job to keep him in his seat. THE ALL-STAR SLATE (Christopher Billopp in The Baltimore Evening Sun) A gentleman who drops into the offices of Baltimore brokers tells me that a few days ago he heard being discuss ed what was described as the “Wall Street Ticket” of the Democratic party. It was as follows: President Newton D. Baker; Vice-President.. Albert C, Ritchie; Secretary of the Treasury, Owen D. Young; Attorney-General, John W. Davis; Secretary of Labor, A1 Smith. That was as far as it went. It seemed to be the general impression in financial circles that auch a government of the talents would be hard to beat. KEEPING THE WOLF AWAY HERE'S WHAT TOM JOHNSON has to say in the Wilkes Patriot about the plan of a Shelby textile plant : “ ‘A garden and a pig for every home is program of Shelby rotton mill’, is the information gained from a headline in a contemporary. That's the sort of program that will put industrial workers on a more firm foundation. A family can not be supported now on the average wage that Industry can pay is dependence of a livelihood is placed in the corner gro cery. A little meat and a source of vegetables will keep the wolf away from the door.’’ PRIME OBJECTIVE (From The Greenville Daily Reflector.) Prohibition will he in the limelight of the coming Presi dential election, hut if certain Democrats have their way economic conditions are going to hold the main stage. This sentiment is heing expressed by supporters of Roosevelt, who are fully aware that action of the Republican party is going to make it necessary for the Democrats to do something to meet the situation. Just how far they will go, however, is a matter of conjecture and nobody will know what is going to happen at the Chicago meeting until organi zation has been completed and the ballyhoo started. Carrying relief to thousands of half-starved, ragged men and women should be the prime objective of both parties, and when they have done that they might turn the light on the prohibition question if there is no way of getting around it, and apparently there isn’t. MR. JONAS IN RACE CHAS A. JONAS and Major A. L. Bulwinkle are going to cross swords for the third time for the honor of repre senting this congressional district in Washington. This be caipe a surety this week when Mr. Jonas announced in Shel by, after a meeting of the G. 0. P. finance committee for this congressional district. The nomination w»as tendered the Lincolnton Republican back in April, as we recall it, but he did not make up his mind to accept until the end of June. Questioned previously as to his intentions, Mr. Jonas replied by saying that he would have no definite announcement until after the session of the finance committee, which was held in Shelby this w'eek. There may he no significance in the de layed announcement, but the skeptics may be inclined to be curious. Mr. Jonas is an experienced politician, knows the ins and outs of the game, and he perhaps knew, or the cur ious may so believe, that a congressional campaign cannot be operated without money. The necessary finances may or may not have been assured the Republican candidate at the Shelby meeting, but many will construe it as passing strange that the acceptance was delayed until the boys who raise and handle the finances got their heads together. NOT COMING THAT WAV ONE REASON the depression seems to he hanging on long er and more grimly than it should is the manner in which the majority of the people expect the change to come. Too many of us. it appears, expect prosperity to come scoot ing around the corner in such a hurried fashion as to knock us down. In other words, we are. inclined to believe that we will some night go to hed without a dime or a job and awake the next, morning to find that we have plenty of money, plenty of food, plenty of work, and an abundance of every-; thing necessary to constitute that phantom-like condition we call prosperity. A little horse-sense should show us that prosperity is not coming back that way. The pression did not swoop down over night and cannot end that way. Rome was not built in! a day. Men do not build up fortunes, even comfortable for unes in a short period. Such is done, as sound success is! v»ys achieved, a little bit at a time, saving some here and, * there. The Gastonia Gazette quotes a historian as g that recovery from depressions in the past came ao quietly and in so many little ways that no one real until afljer a period of time the knowledge gradually that prosperity had returned. The historian thinks 'ty will in all probability return the same way this time. We are moved to agree with him, and the more we llean to that view, the better it will be from the psychological [standpoint if for no other reason. It is somewhat, similaf to the laz.v fellow who will not work but keeps hoping that an uncle in Australia will leave him a fortune or that a gold .mine or an oil well will be found on his land. The majority jof that type keep waiting, but the majority of those who keep plugging and saving manage to get confortably fixed. We need not expect prosperity to sweep in like a tornado and leave money and plenty jumping our streets and roads. It is foolish to entertain such hope. The depression did not come on that way. Conditions gradually grew worse. Many j thought they would improve, but. they steadily grew worse. .And jnst as they grew worse, they will improve a little at a time in innumerable wavs. I FOUNTAIN FLIP-FLOPS PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE he realizes that the sentiment for his opponent throws stronger instead of weaker as I the second primary rounds the corner and is therefore mak j ing desperate grabs, as a drowning man snatches for a straw; I but one cannot help taking notice, despite all that, of some j of the statements being made by R. T. Fountain in his bid for the Democratic nomination for governor of North Caro lina. Through the first, primary campaign on into the sec ond campaign. Mr. Fountain’s major howl is that, his oppon ent, Mr. Ehringhaus. is a candidate of “the machine.” In the second campaign the Fountain boosters have added the additional charge that Ehringhaus is the candidate of the lobbyists, and being the candidate of the lobbyists is the candidate of what stump-speakers refer to as “the interests.” When such charges are made, it is only proper that they should bp looked into, A machine, a political organization, bp it controlled by a governor or some other, is controlled, all readily admit, if i controlled at all, by employes of the State. Mr. Fountain proclaims and proclaims again that ‘‘the Gardner machine” is fighting him and boosting Ehringhaus. Such a charge might have influence could it be shown to bp fact without similar connections being revealed about thp one making the charge. 7'hat's where Mr. Fountain stepped, it seems, into his own trap. It is generally conceded that 75 percent of all State employes, 90 percent of whom live in Raleigh, are sup porting Fountain. Which makes it appear that, although Gardner may favor Ehringhaus, the employes of rhe State1 favor Fountain. Why so? It is largely because a majority of the Statei employes blame Governor Gardner for their pay cut. Gov-j ernor Gardner when the present economic trouble began to pinch realized that State expenses had to bp cut. The farm-j er, the business man and the worker had had their incomes cut and it was only fair that State employes, paid by these' people as tax-payers should have their salaries reduced in' proportion. He put through his salary reduction program, a move that brought, the enthusiastic approval of the people and still does, and as a result State employes resented it. Some show it openly, others are not so open about, it. Mr. Ehringhaus has indicated that, if elected governor he intends to keep down the load of taxation where and how possible, and that means, of course, that, the salary cuts and slashed appropriations of rhe Gardner administration will be contin ued. Naturally, then. State employes, the 75 percent of them generally conceded as supporting Fountain, realize that Ehringhaus cannot be depended upon to raise their pay back to the old prosperity basis. On the other hand.'Raleigh re ports have it that Fountain or his friends have managed to let State employes know that if he is named governor, he will not reduce their pay any more and may be able to raise it. And tha sum total of it, as can plainly be deducted, is that in reality “the machine” Fountain howls about, is really backing him. As voters march to the polls tomorrow, many of them harassed by taxation and financial backsets, if is likely they will see through such a flinjsv issue and cast their votes for continued reduction of government expense. That is true because the average tax-payer has about reached the point where he or she thinks that, if State employes cannot fake their cuts as the tax-payers have they should get out and look for other jobs. Now as to the other Fountain argument, the charge that the lobbyists and the interests are for Ehringhaus: Politic ians have long considered that a good taunt to get the peo ple stirred «p. But such a charge when not. supported by facts has a dangerous boomerang, a boomerang Fountain may feel. Do the facts show that the interests are for I Ehringhaus or for Fountain? Let’s see. The Smith broth ers, lobbyists for Andy Mellon’s aluminum trust, with a plant at Albemarle or Radin, are generally known to he leading supporters of Fountain. Would they, as the contact and good-will representatives of the aluminum trust, be for 'Fountain if the aluminum interests were for Ehrinchaus’’ All sensible voters can answer that question for themselves. The other "interests" frequently spoken of in North Caro lina s political realm are the tobacco and power companies. Are they for Ehringhaus, or are they for Fountain? Let’s glance at the first primary vote and see. The center of the tobacco interests is in Forsyth county, and Ehringhaus did nor carry that county; Maxwell did. Mecklenburg county is accepted as the center and seat of the power industry. Did Ehringhaus t arry Mecklenburg? No, Fountain ran ahead of him there. If the power and tobacco interests are for Ehr inghaus, isn t it likely that t*hey could have managed to get Ehringhaus ahead in those two counties? After such insinuations, how can Mr. Fountain go about explaining that he led Ehringhaus in the power cen ter and that his major supporters are lobbyists of the alumi num interests? Chances are he would have been a little more cautious in those statements had he pondered long enough to consider that a probing of the facts might react against him. The old adage, about it not paying to toss stones when you live in a glass house, still holds good. If the Democratic voters of North Carolina tomorrow use their known ability to sift through a maze of talk and get th* facts, we believe Saturday’s vote will prove it.
