pected of the committee.
Talk in some quarters of opposition
to Mr.. Norwood cannot be located
by wiseacres at the capital
today, and many members are already
here for tonight's assembly. None of |
them seems to know where the Nor
wood opposition is coming from. Ger |
tainly it has not reached the surface |
of things political at this time. Mr..
Norwood is represented as being ac
ceptable to all factions in the party.
While he is listed as an erstwhile
"Kitchin man" he is going to satisfy
the so-called Simmons men of the
committee The Morrison followers
have no objection to raise against him
and the Gardner supporters have
written to the capital that they think
his selection will please them.
One of the staunchest Gardner sup
porters in Eastern Carolina was John
G. Dawson of Kinston and Mr. Daw-
son thinks the committee will make
very wise choice in electing Mr..
Norwood. Somebody intimated that
Mr.. Dawson, who will in all proba-
bility be the speaker of the House
in the next General Assembly. had
designs upon the State Craftsmanship,
, but his friends here who have heard
from him know that he does not care
for the place. Dennis G. Brummitt of
Granville county has also been men
toned as Mr.. Warren's successor, but
if Mr. Brummitt thought of asking
his friends to line up for him the
record as to this seems unusually
difficult to find.
Nobody here would care to wager
that the Norwood nomination and
election will not go through as sche-
duled. There does not seem to be
many applicants. Col. A D. Watts,
who is sometimes regarded as ex-
officiO spokesman for the Demo-
cratic forces in North Carolina, thinks
Mr.. Norwood is the choice of the
committee members and consequently
will be named without difficulty.
The committee will likely put Will
liam A. Graham, Jr., of Lincoln coun-
lty. on as the member from the ninth
ldistrict. filling the vacancy caused by
Mr.. Loves death last summer
