/ 1856: on the Democratic ticket it
was Adlai Stevenson and Senator
Estes Kefauver. In 1852, it was
Adlai Stevenson and Senator
Sparkman of Alabama. In 1913, it
was Harry Truman and Sen. Alben
Barley. In 1914, it was Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Sen. Harry Tru-
man. In 1910, Henry Wallace-at
the behest of FDR-was given
second place. He wasn't Senator;
He was Secretary of Agriculture;
but he wasn't governor. Then, of
course, before him it was Con-
gresham John Nance Garner.
Running mate for Alfred E.
Smith was Sen. Joe Robinson of
Arkansas.
1t has been virtually the same
way with the Republican Party.
TOP MEN Now the Demo-
crats-as a rule again-frequently
run outstanding governors for first
place on the ticket. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who had been governor
of New York, is a notable example.
Then, of course, AL Smith, who had
also been governor of New York.
James C. Cox, Democratic nominee
for the Presidency in 1920, had
been governor of Ohio. Woodrow
Wilson had been governor of New
Jersey.
So, if Luther H. Hodges doesn't
want to buck trend and prefers
to run the rule, he might do better
to keep his eye on the place usual
ly filled by governors-rather
than the one historically in the
province of the senator's.
Or it may be that Governor Hold
ges is thinking this time the
Democrats may pull a switcheroo
and run a senator for President
and a governor for vice president.
NOT RETURNING Of the
so men in the State Senate, at
least 80 of those who were there
last time will not be in the ranks
next year. Of this number, % are
moved aside by rotation agree
ments with other counties of the
district and others have other
interests or insurmountable COM
petition.
Perry Martin of Rich Square, for
instance, is running for solicitor;
James Poyner of Raleigh just
isn't running; Guitar Moore is on
the State Highway Commission;
and Robert Cowan of Williamson
has taken a position in Washing
ton. So it goes.
Some half-dozen senators being
rotated out of their positions are
expected to run for the House
and three or four representatives
will run for the Senate. All in all,
however, we should have about 100
of the total of ITO members of
House and Senate back for action
in 1859. Friends are urging '57
Speaker Kemp Doughton to run
again. For SO members !. Main
problem facing them: where to get
more money. How?
IT'S THE LAW Her father
was a lawyer; her brother is
lawyer; and her husband will be
lawyer.
The father: Supreme Court As
sociate Justice E. B. Denny. The
husband: Wallace Ashley, Jr. The
daughter: Jean Denny. The we'd
ding: in April. The home and law
practice: in Durham.
Both families: no finer in North
Carolina or anywhere else.
THE NEW NAME Some of
the population experts say that the
Big City of the South rs years
hence will be one composed of
Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and
High Point. You can hardly tell
now when you leave High Point
and arrive in Greensboro. It's al
most as bad between the Twin
City and High Point. Although
Townsville was not named, we
find it impossible to tell where
High Point ends and Townsville
begins.
The 1860 census is expected to
show this immediate area with a
