Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-01-03

with the result that whoever is elect
ed senator for the next six years is
going to have to take a lot of cuss
ing frol = sc who got to the pie
cuonter only a snort while before the
pie gave out.
There is no doubt that all of the
more desirable Federal jobs have al
ready been passed out by Senator
Bailey and that there would be only
a few crumbs left for distribution
among the thousands who would be
clamoring for patronage if Mr.
Daniels should run, be nominated and
elected" one observer here comment
ed today $50 he would not have much
left in the form of patronage to dis
tribute to the faithful unless he
should carry on wholesale ousting
of Bailey appointees, and some of
these would be quite difficult to Gust
with stirring up lot Of fuss"
But it is not the lack of patronage
that would be available with which
to reward the faithful who might sup
port him if nominated and elected,
but his advanced years which make
it unlikely that Ambassador Daniels
will become a candidate for the Sen
ate against Senator Bailey, it is point
ed out by the Bailey supporters here.
For Mr.. Daniels is now almost "a
years old and by no means as vigor-
Gus and hearty as he was four years
ago when he was being urged to be-
come a candidate for governor. At
that time it was believed his age was
one of the principal factors which
kept him out of the race for the gov
ernorship. A campaign for the Senate
now would be even more rigorous
than a campaign for the governorship
would have been four years ago,
many believe, since Senator Bailey is
conceded by all factions to be cam
paigner Of real ability. In addition, it
is conceded that Bailey already has
a highly organized smoothly func-
tioning organization in almost every
county in the State This would make
it necessary for Mr.. Daniels to carry
his campaign personally into every
county, and to build up a campaign
organization virtually from the bot
tom while Bailey already has his set
up virtually completed.
While Mr. Daniels has never run
for an elective office, he is conceded
to be fiery speaker and able to put
on the rousements so that many be-
lieve he would make a pretty effec-
tive campaign provided he could
stand up under the physical strain of
constant travel and night after night
speaking from one end of the State
to the other The Bailey forces con-
tend that Mr.. Daniels would find such
campaign very wearing and firing
and that he could not hope to do
much without conducting such a cam
paign. On the other hand, they main
tain that Senator Bailey has greatly
improved as stump speaker and
campaigner during the past few years
and that his age and health are such
that it would prove no strain what
ever for him.
AS to issues, it is generally con-
coded that Mr.. Daniels would run on
an out-and-out pro-Roosevelt and pro-
New Deal platform and that he would
undoubtedly attack the record of Sem
ator Bailey, especially during the first
four years of his term in the senate
when he did not support some of the
Roosevelt measures. On the other
hand, the. packers of Senator Bailey
maintain that he has since been vim
Dictated in many of his positions by
the Supreme Court and by later de-
velopments and that on all major is
sues he has stood solidly behind the
President. Under the assurance a.
mong the Bailey forces that Mr..
Daniels will not run, is a distinct
hope that he will not, many obser-
vers agree. * .S'
