Five Candidates Vying for North Carolina Governor in 1932 Race
Raleigh May 9 Five men are shaping the 1932 Democratic gubernatorial contest in North Carolina with potential frontrunners Fountain and Brummitt leading the field. The contenders include Fountain the Lieutenant Governor from Rocky Mount and Brummitt the Attorney General from Oxford, with Cox of Raleigh Ehringhaus of Elizabeth City and P W McMullen of Elizabeth City also in consideration. Observers note Fountain has built a strong organizational base and stayed neutral in recent campaigns, boosting his prospects. Brummitt benefits from prior legislative work and a solid county organization, though his anti power company stance in the recent campaign could hurt. Cox faces a Raleigh base disadvantage and limited statewide recognition, while Ehringhaus and McMullen lack broad statewide organization but are seen as capable. Overall, the field remains fluid with county networks and regional strength shaping early momentum.
