not; but passes it along as it comes
in through the numerous political
grape vine channels in Raleigh.
But whether true or not, it is pro-
badly a very good indication of the
kind of campaign the coming COVER
nor's race is going to be.
If, as now seems likely, it develops
into a free-for-all and a mad scram-
BILE with some half dozen or more
candidates in the field, there is going
to be more double-crossing and back
stabbing than in many, many moons
There hasn't yet been even the
suspicion of hint that Governor
Clyde Hoey intends to declare for or
against anybody, and if he doesn't,
then it's going to be harder to figure
out than Einstein's theory of rela-
tivity or what ails the local baseball
club.
Right now there is hardly a State
office-holder, or a politician of any
caliber, or lobbyist or group lead
er who is willing to declare himself
for any one of the aforementioned
candidates. They are all waiting to
see which way the administration"
is going. If and when it develops that
the administration" plans to sit
quietly on its status quo, these peo-
pie are going to begin running round
in circles and it will take several ad-
ditions to the present Dix Hill fa-
cilities to hold the job-holders and
seekers who worry themselves stark
crazy trying to pick winner from
a field in which there will not be an
outstanding candidate to back.
Right now there are any number
OF experienced observers who do not
hesitate to predict that the governor
isn't going to raise finger or turn
over rock to help any candidate.
If they prove right, the "anti-
Broughtonites want Smith to run so
they can ditch them both" club will
turn out to be mere tyros and
amateurs in the game of deceit and
double cross.

l. In 1890. The first U. S. Census
was made in that year. North Caro-

years New York outstripped North

the population Of this State.
2. The legislature Of 1854 provided
for the building of fort on the low
er Cape Fear where Southport is
now located. Two years later the fort
was completed and named Fort John
ston in honor of former Governor

tionary War the town of Smithville
was established, 1892, on its site,
named in honor of Governor Ben

Silver Group Loses
Out In Senate Votes
Continued Fr:,m Page Onel

they were in minority. However,
there are in the Senate number OF
New Dealers, friendly to the presi-
Dental plan, who were striving fran
tically for what they didn't seem
likely to get-a higher treasury price
for silver, mined in their states The
anti-New Deal Democrats and Re-
publicans offered to vote for higher
priced silver if the silverites would
vote against extending the Presi-
dents devaluation and related pow
ers. The silverites accepted. Thus the
Senate indorsed skyhooted silver
prices and knocked dollar devalua-
ton, ct cetera, into cooked hat
The two houses being in disagree
ment, the money bill went to inter-
house conference for a compromise,
if possible. The silverites being the
balance of power, the Presidents sup
porters realized that they must make
concessions to that group in order to
Wean it away from the anti-New
Deal Democrats and Republicans.
They did So The conferees' report
then went back TO the two houses.
The representatives Immediately ac-
cepted it, That was expected; the
representatives were predominatly
pro-presidential all the time.
But the Senate?
But the balky Senate?
The question arose:
Had the anti-NeW Deal Democrats
and the Republicans bought the sill
verites so effectively that they would
stay bought? Or would the silverites
fall for the administrationists' coun-
ter-bid?
Had the anti-New Deal Democrats
and Republicans felt at all sure of
their silverite allies, l more than sur
mise that they'd have acquiesced in
an Immediate ballot. Why not?
They won once. Why not again?
They didn't acquiesce, though. It
looks very much as if they believed
that the silverites had been bought
off again the other way.
Fortunately for the anti-New Deal
Democrats and Republicans, they
didn't have to risk Senate vote. At
the juncture mentioned it already
was well on into the afternoon Of
June 80. Without vote the presi-
dental authority was due to lapse
at midnight-an affirmative vote was
needed to keep it going. The anti
administrative game was to continue
debate until after midnight. Then its
spokesmen would say, "The presi-
dental authority is ended; let's drop
the subject" This is known as "par-
liamentary tick-tacks." 1t works and
did work.
incidentally, the silverites are left
out on limb. They didn't get their
advance in silver prices, either. They
sold out and maybe re-sold out, but
they don't get their pay either way.
AS to the Future?
The adminiStrationists are irving
to make out now that even a belated
Senate vote in their favor will still
validate their program.
Such vote, if taken at all and if
prO-administrationistic, will be of
record before these lines can appear
in print. l don't know what it will be
like-not at this time of writing. The
scene changes too fast for anything
but the movies. It will be thing for
the Federal Supreme Court to "ras-
sic" with for term of years, any,
way.
There's no question that the ad-
ministration was beaten on neutrality
but as to that money bill? Who

Both are held on charges of
grand larceny by check. Mrs.
