And when | Senator Simmons heard of these at tacks he got on a train and went to Raleigh, the capital, where Democratic - State - headquarters and.| Smith headquarters are located. But pven before the Senator arrived from his home in the country, Chairman Mull of the Democratic State committee had issued a public_statement rebuking the attackers of Senator Simmons and | telling them to omit such attacks ‘in the future. The News and Obs T, Josephus Daniels’ newspaper, also had scored them editorially. So when Sena tor Simmons arrived in Raleigh he found a conciliatory at'‘nde. He held 2 kind of reception on the sidewalks p the outside the capitol and ¢ sewhere in the | ! : | largely through the effor! city and then went back to his farm. Would Placate. R It is quite obvious that the Dem: cratic leaders do not wish to stir the veteran leader to a point where he will take ‘the stump. They have troubles enough as it is. There is, however, an underlying opposition here to Senator Simmons among men who have been on the outs and men who have been jealous of him and others who have “ambitions.” If Smith could be eclected President, they feel that Senator Sim- mons would pass out of the picture as a leader in the State. Senator Simmons ‘himself, however, not only does not believe that Gov. Smith will be elected President, but he does not belleve he will carry North Carolina. Senator Simmons demonstrated his strength in the State, however, only | last Spring, when everything pointed (o | & Smith delegation ~from .

That was when he took an active part in the fight. No, none of them are really anxious for Senator | Stmmons to jump into the present fight | against Smith. North Carolina is divided physically and industrially and agriculturally into the eastern section and the western section. The eastern:section is agricul- tural, the western and mountainous | part is indutrial. ‘There are many Democrats and few Republicans in the | eastern part and many Republicans and | also Democrats in the western part of the State. The State has not gone Republican in & national election since Grant bea Greely in 1872. But the Democratic majorities have been nothing to write | home about in some of the presidential years. Bryan, for example, in 1912 car+| ried North Carolina by only 22.000 votes. But Bryan was supporting pub- lic ownership of railroads, and North Carolina is not enamoured of public | ownership of railroads, water power, etc. | That’s one thing that is hurting Go\‘.‘ Smith here right now.

Two news- papers in Winston-Salem are opposing Smith on the prohibition issue. In Kingston and Wilmington there are | papers also opposing Smith and in Greensboro the morning paper is in- dependent. The balance of the news- papers are for the most part supporting | the Democratic national ticket, includ- ing the papers here in Ashevilie. Religious Issue Discounted. | The religious issue is discounted in many Democratic quarlers and the stulement mave that it is fading out of the picture more and more. Never- theless, the Democratic speukers all undertike to defend Smith's right as a Cutholic (o be elected. Gov. McLern in his first campalgn address just deliv- ered gave practically all of his atten- tion to this issue. This State is strongly | Protestant, with only a few thousand | members of the Catholic Church. The Republicans have a chance to { carry North Carolina with Democratic | support. But, all things considered, the State today seems to be leaning to the Democratic national ticket. All the North Carolina members of Congress, including Senator Overman, with the exception of Senator Simmons, are out or the Smith ticket. The governor is campaigning for it and most of the lavser officials. | (The Democratic State ticket is ex- perved to win handily, no matter what pens to the national ticket.
