Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-11-07

governor, despite the fact that before
the primary the Winston-Salem pede-
gogue had painted Mr. Hoey as the
nigh priest of big business and the
creature of the corporations in North
Carolina
But if DR.. Mcdonald is counting on
getting an appointment from Mr..
Hoey to some choice State job, he is
doomed to disappointment, most OBJ
servers here believe. While Mr.. Hoey
welcomed his support in the cam
paign, as a Democrat and a south
ern gentleman, there is nothing to in
dictate that the Shelby orator does not
still believe in the old Democratic
doctrine of 'tO the victor belongs the
spoils."
The dominant school of political
thought here just cannot envision Mr..
Hoey offering job to Dr. Mcdonald.
even though the doctor did join the
regulars" in the fall campaign in
lambasting the Republicans and sing
ing the praises of the Democratic
State and national tickets. It is point
ed out that former Governor O. Max
Gardner, nrOther-in-law of Mr.. Hoev.
and one of the principal targets for
DR.. McDonald's barbs during the pri-
mary campaign, cid name a few of
his opponents to good State jobs and
thus made some firm friends out of
former enemies. But none of these
had ever said the things about him
that DR.. Mcdonald said about Mr..
Hoey. So the chances of Dr. McDon-
aid to be named commissioner of re-
venue or assistant director of the
budget, as much as he might like one
of these jobs, is regarded as being
even less than zero.
There is possibility, however, that
DR.. Mcdonald may be offered a post
of some sort with the Federal gov,
eminent, for while he has lambasted,
cussed and belaAored the State Dem
Ocratic government in North Caro-.
lima from top to bottom, it is agreed
that he has at all times been a loyal
supporter of President Roosevelt and
the New Deal. So quite a number here
would not be surprised to see DR.. Nc
Donald offered nice, juicy job in
Washington within the next few
months, despite the fact that many
observers believe the Washington de-
mand for bright, young "brain trust
ers" has already gone stale and like
ly to slump more than ever from now
on.
1t is no secret here that most of
the Democratic leaders in this vicinity
would shout with joy should DR.. Nc
Donald be offered and accept a job in
Washington. 1t is believed he would
get the 100 per cent Endorsement of
the States eleven congressman and
two senators, if they could be sure
he would go to Washington and stay
there for at least four years. For a.
mong the older line Democrats here
and over the State, it is no secret that
DR.. Mcdonald is about as popular as
smallpox or the itch. They regard him
as cookie burr On the back of the
Democratic donkey in North Carolina
and that the donkey would settle
down and stop bucking and kicking
if the burr can be removed. The pro-
blem is how to remove it without get
ting kicked, trampled or bucked out
of office.
But DR.. Mcdonald has told several
of his friends that he will not leave
North Carolina, has no intention of
going to Washington or to any other
State and that the reason he is now
studying law at the University of
North Carolina in Chapel Hill, is sol
he may acquire profession that will
enable him to make a living in North
Carolina and remain in the State.
But the belief in most circles here
is that if either a State or Federal
job should be dangled before him, it I
would not take long for the erudite i
doctor to nab it.
