(Continued from Page One.)
sonal political achievements of last
year. .
Their courses in 1933, a year in
which there will be no campaigns,
primaries and elections, stand out as
the two big political questions the
hext 12 months may answer.
Republicans Routed.
The most outstanding political de
velopment in the State in 1932 was
the Democratic party’s complete rout
of the Republicans.
Four years ago, the • Republicans
saw signs of strength. They flung
North Carolina into the Republican
column nationally, captured a good
sizeid bloc in the legislature and gen
erally disturbed the Democrats, who
had things their way for years.
But 1932 was a sad year for them.
With the national collapse of the
party, they hopelessly lost North Car
olina. Democratic majorities in the
State, approachingthe 400,000 mark,
were records. The Democrats won
everything with the exception of a
Tew county offices and eight of the
170 seats in the General Assembly.
Riding at .the helm of the parade
were Reynolds and Ehringhaus,
whom two heated Democratic pri
maries threw together—this quiet, se
: rious-minded man from the east and
! the cavorting “Buncombe Bob” from
the west.
Hope for Cabinet Place.
The national l ight-about-face to the
Democratic cause, gave the State hope
of a greater share in the national pic
ture.
North Carolina won a cabinet post
in the last Democratic regime.
Josephus Daniels, the Raleigh editor
who served as j secretary of navy in
the Wilson cabinet, was President-
Elect Roosevelt’s boss when the New
Yorker was assistant secretary.
Governor O. Max Gardner, who has
been a power in Democratic circles
in this State almost since he left col
lege, has been mentioned as cabinet
timber. The governor, however, has
kept his council and his immediate
plans steer him toward Shelby, his
home, upon retiring.
What Gardner’s future place in
the picture be presents another
question time must 'answer.
Morrison Eliminated.
Whitten across the year 1932 was
defeat for one of the State’s Veteran
Democratic war horses Cahteron
Morrison of Charlotte.
Former governor, “father of’ good
roads” in the State, a forceful orator
and the senator in appearance, Mor
rison was unceremoniously booted
from his seat in the United States
Senate by Reynolds, who got out an
old automobile and blaed a trail
across the State campaigning as an
anti-proliibitionist.
Morrison remained a *dry despite
the dampness of the national Demo
cratic platform.
He had been serving as senator
since 1930 when [i trover nor Gardner,
whom Morrison, had .defeated in the
1920 primary for’'gover
nor, nuqied’j.-hifn "to fill', the-uriekpired
term ,of the late Senator Overman.
Morrison did little for
the first senatorial primary in which
he had four opponents. He trailed
Reynolds by a few thousand votes. ;
In the second race, however, the
white-haired Charlotte man who
"loved” the people and thought they
“loved” him, took off his coat and
went to battle. He fell, overwhelming
ly defeated. Reynolds’ majority of
100,000 votes was the greatest ever
given a Democrat in a primary in
this State.
Gardner an Issue.
The administration of Governor
Gardner was the issue in the two
Democratic gubernatorial primaries.
Gardner supported Ehringhaus, who
failed to gain a majority over Com
missioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell
and Lieutenant Governor R. T. Foun
tain in the first race.
Maxwell, who was eliminated, with
drew to watch the second heat be
tween Ehringhaus and Fountain. The
battle was fierce. Wild words fell.
Fountain almost came to blows with
Highway Chairman E. B. Jeffress,
who, as a part of the Gardner admin
istration, supported Ehringhaus.
Fountain fought hard, the voting
broke primary records, but he lost by
a few thousand votes.
Harmony Is Restored.
Although there was undoubtedly
some disappointment over the out
come of the Democratic primaries—
I both for the gubernatorial and sena
torial nominations —harmony reigned
in Democratic ranks by the time the
November* elections rolled along.
Morrison took the stump for the
party and Reynolds. Fountain became
ill, but his wife introduced Ehring
haus to a Rocky Mount political
rally.
Jake Newell, of Charlotte, Republi
can candidate for Senate, took ad
vantage of Reynolds’ stand against
prohibition and fought the Asheville
man on this issue. That he swung
some dry Democratic votes his way
was evident in the returns. Reynolds
majority was not as large as that

committees have a bigger job than
ever before them.
Rankin on Finance.
Most of the Speculation so far heard
here points to Senator R. §rrady Ran
kin, of Gastonia, as bein’g the most
likely choice ,of Lieutenant Governor
Graham as .chairman .of the Senate
finance comhaittee. Some believe that
Senator Hayden Clement, of Salis
bury, is also‘being,considered for this
post and that he is more likely to get
it than Rankin. But most of the sen

timent here is that Rankin undoubt
edly has the inside rtack. One reason
for this belief is that Rankin ahd
Graham have been close - personal
friends for years, that they have
served together on the- State Advisory
Budget Commission for the past two
years, and because of Rankin’s long
experience on the Senate finance
Committee in 1931, when the assembly
remained • session almost, five
months .trying to; “fiVi&, Ithe frioney
where the . money- is.” : , I
Mac Lean’s Name Heard.
There is -still. the possibility, of
course taat . Lieutenant Governor
Graham may decide to do the unex
pected and appoint Senator A. D.
Mac Lean, of “Mac Lean Law” fame, as
chairman of the’ finance committee
and let him. .“get the money where
the money Ijs”—or isn’t. But this
move is. regarded as being little more
than a possibility and not within the
realm of probability. For in spite of
Mac Lean’s frequent claims that she
necessary revenue for operating the
State can be found if the General As
sembly will only try to “get the
money where the money is,” he is
not regarded as being particularly
well fitted to head the finance com
mittee. It is believed likely, however,
That both Clement and Mac Lean will
"-be named as members of the finance
committee, even though Rankin mdy
be appoined chairman.
Appropriations Set-Up.
The next most,Jmfc>ortant commit
tee is regarded as' being the approp
riations committee, charged with mak
ing up the State budget. Some think
that “if Senator Rankin is named
.chairman of the finance Committee
that Senator Clement will be given the
chairmanship of the appropriations,
committee. But because of the tracii-
■ • ■ • i
tion that if the chairman of one" of
these committees, is from the Pied
mont or west, The* chairman of the
other must come from the east, most
of the opinion is that the appropria
tions post will go to an eastern sen
ator. Among those mentioned for this
post are Senator T. W. M. Long, of
Roanoke Rapids, and Senator Paul
D. Grady, of Kenly. It is reported
that Senator T. L. Kirkpatrick,* of
Charlotte, wjould like to get the chair
mahsluji -of this committee, bqt iridi
cations are htat hfe is 1 not being, se
riously considered for it.
Waynick on Education.
Another important committee is
that on education, and indications
are that it will be even more impor
tant than ever because of the efforts
almost sure to be made to further
reduce teachers’ salaries and effect
additional economies in the adminos
tration of the public schools. The
school forces are almost sure'to urge
Senator- Mac Lean for the chairman
ship of this committee, since he was
chairman of the education commit
tee in the House both in 1931 and
1929. Indications are pointing strong
ly to Senator C. M. Waynick, of High
Point, as. chairman of the Senate edu
cation committee this time, however.
There has been some mention of
Senator L. M. Blue, of Scotland coun
ty, in connection with this chairman
ship Though the bulk of opinion seems
to favor Waynick for this chairman
ship.
Another important committee is
that on public roads, especially in
view of the efforts that- are sure, to
be made to. divert, from $1,000,000 •to
$2,000,000 of the State highway funds
to other, purposes than roads. Sena
tor John Sprunt Hill, of Durham, for
years a member of the old State High
way Commission, is being mentioned
as a possibility for chairman of this
committee, especially since Hill comes
from* .’the neighboring! 1 county to that
of- Lieutenant Governor * Graham.
Qiiite a number of'others,* however,
thiiik that: Senator Cfenien’t' is -more
likeiy to get the chairmanship of-this
committee, • especially iif he does not
get the chairmanship, of < the. finande
committee.; , . i
It ;is more or less agreed that Sen
a^df'Robert M. Hanes, • of Winston-
Salem,' president of the Wachovia
Bank and Trust Company system' and
past president "of the Ndrth Carolina
Bankers’ Association, will be named
chairnian of: the committee on" banks
and banking. '
Murphy-Is Prospect. •*
In'the House,' indications are point
ing strongly to Walter Murphy, of
Salisbury, as first choice for chair
man of the finance committee as to
first choice, and R. Gregg Cherry, of
Gastonia, as second choice. But the
odds strongly favor Murphy. • For
chairman of the appropriations com
mittee, O. B. Moss of Spring Hope, in
Nash county,, seems to have the in-

side-track. Moss is a veteran mem*
ber of the House and wate a candi
date for the speakership in 1931, al

does not get/ the finance .chairman
ship, w. Neal, ‘ of; Marion, is slat
ed for the chairmanship of the com
mittee on public roads.. He; has been
a‘.niember of ■ the new State High
way Commission for. the- past two
years, though he will h averse. resign
from the highway commission, while
holding office as a member-of the
General Assembly. Neal is % veteran
mefnbbr'of the'house and is expected
to be -one of the > most vinfluential
members. ?■$ ,
Robert M. Cox, of Wirfston-Salem,
another veteran member of the House
is slated for a major committee as
signment, probably as chdirman of
the committee on agriculture, al
though some think he may head either
the appropriations or education com
mittee. W. C. Ewing, of Fayetteville,
is also slated for a major committee
post. Some think he will get the
of the committee on
conservation or agriculture!
