Will Make Record#
Both Colonel Kirkpatrick and Mr
Jeff res# will have achieved consid
erabte .statewide publicity before the
trace for the nomination is started
and both stand to win or low dv
their subsequent public acts.
Tire colonel goes up to Raleigh as
Mecklenburg's representative in the
state senate, and. because he is an
already announced candidate for the
[governorship, his record there will
be watched carefully. He stands to
tbuild up a strong following or to
lose what he now has:
Mr. Jeffr'ess, too, will be in the
I spotlight. No doubt he will be reap
pointed as state chairman of the
highway commission bv the iiicotn
|'mg governor. Betv.g in a position
J1hat is .always in the limelight and
l that - Torres him to act upon the
Tins or dislike#-of thousands of
1 citizens, he too, stands to lose or
; gain in their esteem by granting or
' refusing their request#.
And, since the state Is Hard
pressed for funds and will be unable
.10 meet requests exceptWhere they
ire of special ur gency, he may lose j
much in popular esteem. On the!
other hand, if he is able so to ad
minister the highway commission's
affairs-..that the state makes a good
record in road-building and main
tenance under the new state road
law. he wilt undoubtedly be in posi
turn to make a strong bid for the
governorship,
Mr. Hoo\, of course, is not vet
ready to do any talking on the pos
possibility of entering a contest
four years oft. But there are re
ports out- of Cleveland county that
the bees have begun to buzz in his
political bonnet and that the buzz
