Raleigh, Jan. II: Raleigh echoed
last week to revelberations of the
jackson Day Cor Victory, as the
Young Democrats want it calfed)
Dinner of January s, but the noise
wasn't nearly so deafening as some
political commentators, such as Carl
Goerch and Tom Bost, would like to
make it appear.
These commentators worked them
selves into something O. a lather over
the fact that Oscar Chapman, assist
ant secretary CO interior, and speaker
of the occasion, lauded Josephus Dan
iels and Senator Bob Reynolds, but
said no word Of praise for either SEN
ator Josiah w. Bailey or Congress
man Frank Hancock, though the lat
ter was present lin propria persona"
tas the lawyers say when they mean
somebody was there).
All North Carolina Cor at least most
of IT'D had been thrown into frenzies of
rage at this deliberate snub," this
calculated slur," the writer reared.
Perhaps SO; but practically every
source approached by this cores
pondent expressed the opinion that
MIR. Chapman, in view of his known
political creed and the wide gulf
which divides him from Senator.

sand and some odd votes for State
treasurer, used the defeat of the Lud-
low war referendum as the spring
board from which to launch a state
ment almost putting her in the sena-
torial race.
Troy 7. Barnes laid $1OO on the line
with the board of elections and an
naunced himself prepared to lick the
boots off Congressman John Kerr in
the second district.
Itimous Valentine, famed for his
strategic direction Of other folks cam
paigns, put up the ante needed to
make himself a full-fledged candidate
fer judge of the second superior court
judicial distrist. Judge Walter Bone
is the Incumbent, who has not yet
made clear his intentions with regard
to the race.
Governor IIoey said he'd like to see
Supreme Court Chief Justice Walter
P. Stacy appoint to fill the Sutherland
vacancy on the q. S. Supreme Court
I
sional delegation formally presented
his name for consideration.
The governor, committed the death
sentence of Tommy Walls, Mecklen-
burg Negro, and thereby stopped what
would have been the first execution
for first. degree burglary in the last
eight years.
Attorney General A. A. F. Seawell
got himself lannFbasted by Sheriff
David Jones of New Hanover county
for saying that slot machine trouble
must be attended to locally. In turn
the A. G. countered by tagging the
Jones TRADE with the label absurd"
The Highway Commission agreed to
re-route Highway No. 1 through Ra-
leigh, putting it back to it's old path
out HillsIboro street. This was done
after rowings and jowings by advo-
Gates of both routes.
Commissioner of Agriculture w.
Kerr Scott started what may develop
into an intensive campaign to aid
North Carolina dairymen. His speech
at Pinehurst is quite likely to result
in more than bit of recrimination
before things get much further along.
