WARREN'S FRIENDS
SAY He WILL NOT
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
TOM IN GOOD HUMOR
TOM IN GOOD HUMUK
He Believes Governor Did Him
a Good Turn in Refusing to
Give Him the Supreme Court
Appointment; Tom Watson
is Expected IN Sampson
County November First.

Washington, D. c., Sept. "a
Notwithstanding the reports and ru-
mors from Raleigh that Tom Warren
is peeved because he was not appoint
ed a member of the Supreme court
by Governor Morrison and that he
may run for governor in 1924, MS
close friends here say that Col. Tom
has no idea of making the race; that
he knows the Governor had his IN
ter<,st at heart in not selecting him
and last but not least the New Bern
man will be one of the strongest sup
porters of Wilton Mclean for Gov
ernor four years hence. Mclean is a
candidate and he is and will be sup
ported by the same men who have
made it possible for Tom to be as
prominent politically as he is. War
rem never has been accused of being
ungrateful or unappreciative of his
friends.
Indeed many of Warren's friends
are confident that the Governor did
give Warren the appointment. 1t is
not long until the primaries next
year and then Warren would have
had to make the fight of his life to
secure the democratic nomination. 1t
is assumed that Judge Shaw will be
nominated without opposition in the
democratic party. Then, too if Warren
is not pleased with the situation his
grievance must be against the Cover
nor and not Mclean who took no part
in the controversy.
Friends of former Congressman
John H Small who have been in
Washington this week declare that
the former first district congressman
is planning to run again and that he
will oppose Hallet Ward in the next
primaries. Small made a wonderful
record during his long service in
Congress, while Ward has been little
heard of around the capitol. Small
was chairman of the great rivers and
harbors committee and did much for
be returned to Congress he would, in
all probability, be put back. on the
rivers and harbors committee. Ward
is on three comittees, Election No. 2,
Insular Affairs and railways and can
ais, none of which are of any i'm
portance to North Carolina, if to any
one except the chairman who gets
extra clerk hire
Should General Julian S. Carr re-
main in the race for congress man
at-large, and his friends say he GER
tainly will, there seems no doubt
that he will be nominated and elected
by an overwhelming majority, there
will be only two congressman in the
House who served in the wars be-
tween the states. Major Stedman is
the lone member now and with Cen
eral Carr there would be two, both
confederates.
The Agricultural Society of Samp-
son County evidently anticipates a
warm time at its fair which begins
Nov. 1. Today Senator Simmons re-
ceived letter asking that he invite
Tom Watson of Georgia to be the
principal speaker Nov. 2. 1t is be-
lieved the Georgia Senator will ac-
cept. Tom The Georgia Senator likes
Marion Butler about as much as the
"Rhamkatt Rooster of the Raleigh
News and Observer And Sampson
county is the home of Butler. Like
wise the banner Populist county in
the State. Only last week Senator
Watson paid his respects to Senator
Butler in his Columbia Sentinel.
Watson evidently was thinking of
Populist days when the Georgian
said Butler double crossed him when
the former was candidate for vice
president. Watson, it is thought, will
accept the invitation.
