Abstract:
Clyde R. Hoey's was governor of North Carolina, representative of both State House and Senate, and a United States Senator appointed in 1945. Emphasis is placed on Senator Hoey's humble, 'down-home' character making him very personable to fellow politicians in Washington and his constituents in North Carolina. Further discussion beyond Hoey's disposition includes an outline of political issues of 1946, specifically, changing the presidential term to a singly six term period of office.
