I had ju.,t had humorou. mention as a candidate for that position, r.s they wanted to revive the Popuiist Party with me as the Standard Bearer. Well, the Governor showed me what had happened to a friend ?f his who had been u 'fcr.tr d for Governor in our stare, so he discouraged me. I won't accuse him i f doing it purposely. but Ik* did. His friend's campaign expenditures were as follows : "I kissed 6.000 babies; helped 42 voters thrash wheat; shook hands with the entire State; smoked ,v0 ) sacks of 'Bull' Durham; cut 22 cords of wood : helped brand 3,000 calves; spayed 4,000 of their.; was sprinkled 8 times in Method." t Churches; totally immersed in c li water in muddy creaks three times by the Baptist: went to confcv.ion in every Catholic Town; paiJ dues to 11 Synagogues; charter member of the Holy-Rollers"; listened to | 800 get-together Kiawanis. Lions, j and Rotary speeches; bought sheet ' and pillow slip in every Ku Klux Klan in the State; and then I was , defeated.

I would invite you. my collegues. to this wonderful land of which T am extremely proud. Peopled by a stock that is yet pure and undefiled. They are the descendants of the Scotch ami Irish and English, who laid the foundations of this Republic and who are zealous of the preservation of the institutions which their fathers founded.

J It was frcm among these people came i the patriots, who. on May 20. 1775. mote than a year before the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia, met and declared at Mecklenburg that these colonies "were, and of a light ought to be free and independent States."
