WHISKY Stat politicians are
'" hopeful that the Wet and Dry issue
can be kept out of the 1936 primar
ies. They aver this is a question to
' . be voted rninn and ifotarmineH hv the
people not gubernatorial or sena
torial candidates. There is little a
" ' governor can do about iti Governor
Ehringhaus attempted to smooth the
alcohol waters in the closing hours of
the late legislative session, but fail
ed. And don't forget, a Tar Heel
governor hasn't the veto power.

COURAGEOUS Senator Josiah
: W. Bailey has no doubt made thous
ands of friends in his efforts to a
, mend the Wheeler-Rayburn utility
bill invCongress. Senator Bailey has
submitted no . less than 41 amend
ments to the hill,' &U of which, it is
said by Some interested people, will
be beneficial tu the users of gas and
electricity, as well' as those who own
stock in such concerns. As on his
vote on the soldiers' bonus bill, even
the Senator's bitterest enemies can
t easily realize his courage of convic
tions. NUMBER TWO PLACE State
; Senator Wilkins P. Horton, of Chat
ham County, has definitely cast his
chapeau in the proverbial political
ring. The Senator announces he. is a
candidate for nomination on the
Democratic ticket for the coveted
number two place that of Lieuten
ant Governor. Horton has a long
and honorable record as a member of
the General Assembly, having first
served as a Senator in 1919. Critics
of the last Senate session credit
Horton with being one of the out
standing members. The lean, tall
Chathamite has a kit filled with tools
and is not afraid to use them. He
has never been known to evade even
an unpopular issue. '
CONTENDERS It is rumored
that Senator Horton and Senator
Paul D. Grady, also announced for
Lieutenant Governor, may face ad
ditional opposition. Grady is a legis
lative veteran and served as President
Pro Tem of the last session. Sena
tors Carl Bailey, of Washington, and
Harries Newman, of New Hanover,
are viewed as decidedly potential
candidates for license plate n Tiber
two. Representative Willie Lee
Lumpkin, of Franklin, also is no bad
bet for an anti-sales tax candidate
for the post of Lieutenant Governor.
Former Senator George McNeill, of
Fayetteville, also is expected to en
ter this race.
OUT IS OUT Superior Court
Judge Wilson Warlick, of Newton,
whose name for months had been
connected with the Governorship race
in 1936 is not a candidate for the
place. None other than the Judge
himself made the announcement he
would cast his vote for Clyde R.
Hoey, Shelby's Democratic Star, and
would lend to Mr. Hoey such person
al support as the dignity of the of
fice of Superior Court Judge will per
mit. Judge Warlick believes Mr.
Hoey deserves the gubernatorial nom
ination for his thirty-odd years of
"unselfish" service to the Democratic
party and says further that Hoey is
the best qualified man in the State
for the place.
REFORM For years prison of
ficials and welfare agencies have ad
s' vocated a worthwhile parole system
in North Carolina, one which would
provide the. opportunity, for parole
of every prisonerswhether such pris
oner could employ an attorney or had
. 1 influential friends. The plan ad
vanced will provide supervision to
keep the prisoner on the "straight
and narrow." Such a system may be
in the making as the outcome of the
strenuous efforts of Representative
Thomas E. Cooper, of New Haijpver,
.- in the recent session of the General
s Assembly A great opportunity pre
sents itself to the Governor and those
whom he may appoint to administer
the parole act. But the State may as
well realize that any beneficial parole
system, like any other constructive
public service, cannot be operated
upon a shoe-string.
AID FOR FISHERMEN Plans
are under way for the construction
of quick-freezing and storage plants
for seafood along the fishing banks of
North Carolina. It is hoped this
would result in more orderly market
ing of products of the deep and bring
better prices. Further plans call for
huge purchases of fish by the State
Prison Department for feeding con
victs and personnel. While this
might not cut any ice in the price of
fish it would cut into the surplus
catches to some extent.
TOUGH JOB Early administra
tion of the newly-created State De
partment of Highway Safety is going
to be a tough assignment in its early
days. Besides the tremendous task
of organization, the public is likely
to be unappreciative of the problem
of educating half a million drivers
and policing thousands of miles of
roads with 121 State Highway Pa
trolmen. There is danger that the
new safety department may be
blamed for future accidents it could
not hope to prevent.
COOL There has been compara
tively little heat generated in the race
for Governor. Lieutenant Governor
A. H. Graham and Clyde R. Hoey are
the main contenders on the Democra
tic ticket tc date but Colonel T. Le
Roy Kirkpatrick and John McRae,
both of Charlotte, have also announc
ed their candidacy. Gilliam Grissom,
popular collector of U. S. internal re
venue in this State for several years,
looks like a big threat for th.e G. 0.
P' nomination next year but other Re
publicans have their eye on the same
honor.
LUCKY BREAK Some Raleigh
politicians express the opinion that
the Supreme Court's action in declar
ing the NRA unconstitutional was a
good political break for President
Roosevelt. These prophets point out
that NRA was growing mighty un
popular but that a howl for its bene
fits went up just as soon as the high
court kicked it out. Political leaders
here say that NRA will be popular
again when the price and wage cut
ting gets started and the President
can blame all that on the Supreme
Court If so, that will let Mr. Roose
velt out of a big hole.
COMING BACK Chester 0. Bell
of Raleigh, and George Adams, late
of Charlotte, but now connected with
the Local Government Commission
must be beaten more than once before
they quit. Two years ago they ran
for State Auditor but were beaten by
Baxter Durham who has held the
place for years. Now both Bell and
Adams have announced their mten
tion of seeking to unhorse Mr. Dur
ham again in the primaries next
year.
MORE TROUBLE Secretary of
State Stacy W. Wade is reported to
have been worried by the decision of
Thad Eure, principal clerk of the
House of Representatives for several
sessions, to seek his job next spring,
Now along comes M. R. Dunagan,
Raleigh newspaperman who has
worked on most of the largest dailies
in the State and contributed tc many
weekly papers, 1 advising his friends
and warning his enemies that he will
be a candidate for Secretary of State.
Both Dunagan and Eure can be
counted ' upon." to give Mr. Wade a
headache or two but what s that to
the head fehat wears a crown ?

WHOSE WORE!)
WILL YOU TAKE
FOR BLOWOUT PROTECTION?
Low wheels, larger tire, and the hih ipeeds of today make
blowout protection in your tirea vital to your safety as never before.
Are you accepting exaggerated and nnaupported advertising and aalea
claims or are you accepting the judgment of men who risk their lives
on their tires and know from experience the tire that gives them the
greatest blowout protection?
Thirty-three race drivers and their mechanic lined up for the
dangerous, gruelling grind of the 500-Mile Race at the Indianapolis
Speedway May 30th. Firestone Tires were purchased and used on every
one of the thirty-three cars. Not one of the drivers had tire trouble
of any kind.
Gum-Dipping is one of the outstanding reasons why Firestone
Tires give such amazing performance. By this process every cotton
cord is soaked and every strand is insulated with pure liquid rubber,
preventing internal friction and heat, the main cause of blowouts.
Gum-Dipping is a patented extra process not used in any other make
of tire.
Protect your life and the lives of others by equipping your car
with Firestone Gum-Dipped High Speed Tires the tafest tires built.
It will be worth your time to read these three questions and
their answers:
Question 1 "Will the tread give me the greatest traction and protection
againtt skidding?"
ANSWER Leading university tests show Firestone High Speed Tires
stopyourcar1Squicltcrthanthcbcst of other popular makes of tires.
QUESTION 2 "Are they built to give m the greatest blowout protection?"
ANSWER Unequaled performance records for sixteen consecutive
years prove that Gum-Dipping gives you the greatest blowout
protection ever known.
QUESTION 3 "Without sacrificing these two important safety features will they
give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buy?"
ANSWER Thousands of car owners report unequaled mi.'esge
records evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of
Firestone High Speed Tires.
