Belwood, Dec. 22.—Construction j
has begun on the new gymnasium
at Belwood. On Thursday, Dec. 14.
the *Clvll Works employes started
the much wished for gym at Bcl-j
wood. This was made possible by the j
splendid cooperation of the liberal1
men who made the much appre-'
dated donations. It is the hope of
fht school that they will be able to
Begin playing In the new gymna
sium very soon after Christmas. I
On Friday, 22. there will be a |
Christmas program given at the
high school building in connection
with the school and community
Christinas tree. The program fea
tures a pageant. taken from the
Biblical story of the birth. The pag
eant is very beautifully drawn. Due
go the tireless efforts and drilling
of the players the program In gen
eral should be very interesting. The
pageant is sponsored by the glee
club, this being the second public
appearance of the club. I
The senior class of Belwood high
school Is working out a small news i
paper for the school. This pajJer
could not be very large and com
plete, but the purpose of the paper
is to advertise the school; to show
the people of the county what the
school is doing. All effort Is placed
on an attempt to make the paper
Interesting and not Just a few pages
of worthless articles. It Is hoped
that the first edition will be out by
Christmas.
Belwood school will close Friday,
Dec. 22, for the Christmas holidays.
The school will be closed until New
Year’s day, January 1, 1934.

race for the senate, being defeated
by former Senator Furnifold M.
Simmons, who was then completing I
the second of his five six-year terms
in the senate.
Governor Craig, who followed j
Kitchin, left the governor's office •
an 111 man and his own successor, j
Governor Blckett, lived less than a!
year after leaving office and be- i
fore having an opportunity to put
to the test any senatorial aspira
tions which he might have had, and
which he was widely believed to
have.
’he Morrison administration
ended In 1928 and Governor Mor
rison seriously considered running
for the senate in 1926, but decided
not to oppose the late Senator Lee
S. Overman at that time. However, I
Mr. Mdrrison had already announc
ed his intention to. become a can
didate In 1932 when Senator Over
man died in 1930 and Mr. Morri
son was appointed by the then Gov
ernor, O. Max Gardner, who had
been defeated for governor by Mor
rison in 1920.
McLean Would Run
When Governor A. W. McLean |
left office in 1929, It was generally;
admitted that he expected to run i
Tor the senate. but not against [
Senator 8imhions. and that was the;
only way he had opportunity to
run. His opportunity to run in the
case of a vacancy was protected by
a statute passed during his admin
istration and repealed immediately
thereafter, the statute providing
that there should be a primary in !
case of a vacancy.
riMdinnwilii Ol'H f
would have been tjhe first governor;
since Kltchtn with an opportunity.
to run for the senate at expiration !
of his term, all the others having !
been prevented from running under!
such conditions by the absence ofj
an election or the unwritten law
which decrees that one senator
must come from the western half
of the state and the other from i
Ihe eastern half.
Governor Gardner, who through
out the four years of his office in
sisted that he was not and would
not become a candidate for any
other office, could not have chang
ed his mind without doing the un
heard-of thing of opposing his
own appointee.
Attitude Of Ehringhaus
That brings the recital to the
ease of Governor John Christoph
Blucher Ehringhaus, who entered
Office on January 1, 1933.
Like Governors Kitchin and Gard
ner, and like those alone of all who
1bave held the office this century,
toe term of Governor Ehringhaus
Will expire at virtually the same
time as that of the senator living
In his own section of the state, i
Senator Josiah W. Bailey, who de- j
feated Senator Simmons for re
nomination in 1930.
The attitude of Governor Ehring
haus can be fairly stated as midway
between that of Governor Kitchin
and Governor Gardner at similar
points in their administrations.
Governor Kitchin was by that
Mine openly a candidate Governor
Ehringhaus has adopted the first
half of the Gardner formula. “1 am
not a candidate," but he is by no
■leans committed to the last half,
“and I will not become a candi
date"
It would not be fair to say that
Governor Ehringhaus is either a
candidate for the senate or has any
definite intention of becoming one.
It would not be candid to fail to
say that some of those who are
closest to him, personally and poli
tically. are now confident that he
