Raleigh, Feb. 16.—The visit, of Con
gressman R. L. (Farmer Bob) Dough
ton here today is attracting attention
again to the 1936 gubernatorial con
test. as well as to the possibility that
he nuy be a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination. Recently the re
port has been current here that
Doughton had just about decided not
to become a candidate for governor,
especially in view of the fact that
Clyde. Hoey. of helby, is regarded as
already being in the race. But re
ports from Washington have continu
ed to the effect that Doughton was
still considering becoming a candidate
regardless of whether Hoey ran or
not. The visit of Doughton here today
is regarded as indicating he is still
toying with the idea, at least. There
are also indications that Doughton is
very much interested in ascertaining
the degree of sentiment in the present
General Assembly and over the State
as a whole in favor of a liquor con
trol law as a substitute for the pres
ent bone-dry State prohibition law.
Lieutenant Governor A. H. (Sandy)
Graham is also regarded as an al
redy-running endidate for the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination in
1936. If Doughton does not become a
candidate and Hoey does, many be
lieve that with the change in senti
ment towards the Stfcte prohibition
