With Primary Week Away
Ehringhaus Is Considered
To Have the Inside Track
(Continued from Page one.)
off on an entirely wrong scent some
■en days ago when they apparently
hought Fountain had committeed po
litical suicide in attacking Governor
O. Max Gardner and the record of the
past Democratic administration In his
Raleigh speech, and started out after
Maxwell instead, political circles "here
agree. For it Is now evident that' the
■ipcech that Fountain made here and
has been making ever since, in spite
of its indorsement by the Republicans
as an “ideal Republican speech” is
just the kind of speech that Foun
tains followers like to hear and that
u has undoubtedly been helping his
cause. It is also evident that Fountain
will get almost the entire anti-Gard
ner and anti-admintstration vote, in
spite of Maxwells recent attempts to
slice off a portion of this vote for
his use.
Maxwell has been gaining steadily
and still is gaining slightly, but seems
to have reached his peak, observers
here believe. While Maxwell admit
tedly has one of the strongest, if not
the strongest, platforms of the three
candidates and has injected more new
planks and Issues into the campaign
than any of the others, it is agreed
that he had farther to travel than
there Fiountan or Ehringhaus. It Is
also agreed that his campaign speech
es. while almost faultless in logic and
form, have failed to take hold of his
audiences in the manner his friends
had hoped they would. He just has
not been able to compete with the
Ehringhaus oratory and personality.
A good many also are of the opinion
that Maxwell made a mistake In at
tempting to reply to Ehringhaus and
in assailing Governor Governor and
the administration, of which" he has
been such an integral part, evidently
in the hope of annexing some of the
Fountain votes. Before he made thie
speech, the Ehringhaus forces were
not centering a very active campaign
Against Maxwell. But since then they
have been hammering at him .most
heartily. Up to this time Maxwell had
the active support -of many'people
who were still friendly \o the present
administration. Indications are htat
-some of these have now turned to
Ehringhaus.
While Fountain has undoubtedly
succeeded in holding many of his fol
lowers together as a result of his
bitter attacks upon Governor Gard
ner and his administration and upon
Ehringhaus. whom he has sought to
picture as the "administration’s can
didate." reports indicate he has not
gained any new support and that a
good many have slipped over to the
Ehringhaus bandwagon.

tion of Candidates
WILL BE ACTIVE WEEK
Number of Contest* Moat Be Decided
In Tbl» Coanty As Well As In
Slate at Large; Big Vote
Looked For
With only one week left before the
primary election of next Saturday,
candidates seeking the favor of the
voters are prepared for the final home
stretch drive beginning Monday. The
campaign is now in its last stages,
and candidates and their friends were
redoubling their efforts to leave no
stone unturned byway of courting
success at the polls.
In Vance county there are exactly
26 local candidates to be voted on.
Six who announced themselves were
without opposition and their names
will not go in the primary at all. They
will be declared officially the nomi
nees of the party for the offices they
are seeking, all of them in a clari
fication considered as minor offices,
four being for places on the city and
county school boards.
Lively contests are being fought out
for the State Senate, the State House
of Representatives, recorder, county
commissioner, sheriff and register of
deeds, and constable! In 'some instan
ces three candidates are seeking the
same office, this being' true of the
campaign for tne House and for re
corder. Five ipndldates are seeking
the two four year ttranr, as county
commssoner, and two are fghtlng for
the two-year term.
While the local contests are, of
course, taking precedence, there Is
considerable Interest also in the con
tests for governor and for the Uhited
States Senate. It is rather an unusual
situation, however, that no candidate
for a Statewide office has made an
address in Henderson since the cam
aign got under way, with the single
excetion of Judge Tam C. Bowie, op
posing Senator Cameron Morrison for
the United States Senate nomination.
None Is announced, either, for the
final week of the campaign.
