John Christoph Blucher Ehringhaus (February 5, 1882July 31, 1949) was the Governor of North Carolina from 1933 to 1937. ==Biography== He was born on February 5, 1882 in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Governor O. Max Gardner coaxed Ehringhaus, a former state legislator and attorney, out of political retirement as his hand-picked successor. He narrowly defeated Lieutenant Governor Richard T. Fountain in a Democratic primary runoff. Fountain claimed Ehringhaus was the tool of business interests.〔Christensen, Rob. ''The Paradox of Tar Heel Politics.'' 2008: UNC Press. p. 77.〕 Serving the state during the Great Depression, Ehringhaus encouraged the North Carolina General Assembly to create a state agency that would help rural areas of the state receive electricity services in order to revive the lagging economy.〔(North Carolina Historic Sites )〕 He also cut state spending, successfully pushed for a three-cent sales tax, extended the school year and kept the schools open and solvent.〔Christensen. p. 89.〕 He died on July 31, 1949. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John C.
