’’Failure to register, in the final
analysis, cost us the election last
November,” Reese said. "The same
thing exists now as in the last cam

It is a safe bet that 50 per cent of
our strength is not on the boots."

Young Democrats
' Put ’Em On Spot
(Continued from pace one.)
be one of the chief speakers and al
so the Impetuous and effervescent
junior senator. Governor Ehring
haua was added to the list, and
then scasting about for others, the
name of Hoey and Doughton were
added.
Oh, Could They Be Jealous?
As a result, It Is a pretty good
guess that over the State any num
ber of other would-be governors
are saylftg considerably more about
the peeky Young Democrats than
Senator Bailey did about the Tug
well Invitation. Why? Well, some
eight or 10 party faithfuls are eye
ing the 1980 gubernatorial opening
with Just as. much relish as the
Brushy Mountain cattle-raised and
the Shelby lawyer. It has been said,
to print and elsewhere, time and
agate, that none of the others has
a chance of getting to first base
against either Doughten or Hoey.
Just which of the two has the best
prospect of licking the other Is a
matter of conjecture, but it Is
known, or so rumored, that "Farm
er Bob” has resented the Implica
tion that the Shelby man cannot
be licked, If he really makes a bid
for the office.
Since they are both already "on
the spot,” It is only natural that
the entire State will be Interested
to what they will lave to say.
They're Powerful Tactful.
What will that be? More than
likely, nothing sensational or dan
gerous. Both are too tactful, too
wary and experienced to get them
selves in a hole two years In ad
vance. Doughton, now chairmen of
the potent Ways and Means Com
mittee, has been representing his
district to Washington for more
than a score of years. Hoey has
been active to politics for other
three decades. Both know the Ins
and outs and all the tricks and
strategies of the political game
Chances are both will try to say a
lot without saying anything defi
nite.
Anyway, It will be embarrassing
to the other gubernatorial hopefuls
who may consider themselves
slighted, but the Young Democrat'
an impetuous lot, care little about
that. They have injected new We
In the Democratic party In North
Carolina and they are not adverse
to letting the old-line leaders lenow
that they can put more votes In
the ballot-boxes than, can the vet
erans.
The selection of the two out
standing candidates of 1936 may
have been an accident, but, on the
other hand, It may have been a
carefully considered selection. Be
that as It may, the two men will
be “on the spot" after Saturday
night, and until one of the two i*
“rubbed out" In the primary bat
tle of June 1936. For that rease*
more enthusiasm has developed
about the week-end convention In
Asheville than would have under
the ordinary course. Those present
will listen intently tc the others—
the two senators, the governor, et
al—but they will not miss a word
spoken by Hoey and Dougfeton. m
fact, the toastmaster, i£ he’s eo
minded, might put over a majrter
stroke by staging a double intro
duction, have the two stand togeth
er and say: “Young Democrats of
North Carolina, permit me to intro
duce your next Governor.” Such
an introduction might not rest so
well with Charlotte’s Colonel Kl k
patrlck, the likeable “Sandy*’ Gra
ham, perhaps the nearby Judge
Wilson Warlick, and others, bat
the Young Democrats are a faee
the-fact-and-get-it-over with group
imbued with all the daring of youth
and that’s just what they may do.
Frankly, If you were a betting
man (and ever, those who do not
bet will admit that they have the
urge at times), would It not be a
safe bet to wager that the next
North Carolina governor is as cer
tain to speak at Asheville Saturday
as Is the present Governor? And
GOvemor Ehringhaus is assuredly
on the program.
