(An Editorial)
In its next issue the Danbury
Reporter will announce that it
is lor Ralph McDonald tor (iov
ernor o! North Carolina, ami
try to explain why.
Light years ago this news
paper pat up a on Ralph
.McDonald.
Much water has passed un
der the old mill wheel sine
then.
In its stand for a man who
we believe is pure and true, the
Reporter is happy to have quite
distinguished company in our
county ol Stokes —the teachers,
th e priaehi-r*. uncounted
throngs of the womanhood, ami
many stalwarts ol' the Demo
cratic party, such as Sheriff
John Taylor, Supeiiutendent t
Schcols J. C. Carson, Couuty
Commissioner and ( hrist an
Minister Rev. J. A. Joyce, ex-
Sheritt and ex-Chairman of the
Board of Elections S. P. Chris
tian, County Tax Auditor B. P.
Bailey, Clerk of the Court J.
Watt Tuttie, many other office™
and ex-officers, many loyal Dem
ocrats, hundreds of those who
have never held office and don't
want office.
With these folk we feel we
"an't go wrong.
fany people have not heard
m the people who are oppos
ed to being taxed $18,000,000 a
year in a useless sales tax, and
who do' not believe in these
sacrifices just to honor a man
who has no background except
that he is a successful politician
who has spent most of his life
in office.
If you are for Cherry for
Governor, do not commit your
self too freely until you learn
his record.
Cherries sometimes give the
bellyache.
And do not condemn Ralph
McDona!d until you look over
his record.
"Ye shall know the truth and
the truth will make you free."

Farm Heads Appeal
To Selective Service
! For Labor Provisions
' Whereas, Stokes county is al
most entirely rural and deviled
largely to farming and agricultur
al pursuits; and whereas, many
hundreds of the young men of
the county have already been call
ed and inducted into military ser
vice, leaving many farmers with
inadequate help, making it nec
i
essary to reduce crops, and other
wise working great hardships up
on the farmers of the county; anc"
whereas, this year's planting sea
son has arrived and the prospect ;
'are tfiat many more Stokes coun
ty boys will be taken from our
j farms unuer existing Selective
Service regulations, notwithstand
ing the facts that many of these
boys have already planted or pre
pared to plant crops; that many
of the farmers of the county are
almost solely dependent upon
them for farm labor; that ir
j tnasy cases farming operations
w'lTl have to be terminated or ma
terially diminished, working un
usual hardships upon many farm
jers who have depended upon
these young men for farm labor
Be it resolved, therefore, at ;>
meeting of the AAA Township
Committeemen of S'okes c mnty.

An Editorial.
[ Lo, Poor Winston-Salem
, In a recent broadcast Mr. Iluek Free
ij man, who y a candidate for his uncle
■J John H. Folg'cr's seat in Centres \sp )ke
in a pitiful tone in which he deplored
that Winston-Salem, though it owns
about 40 or 50 per cent, of the wealth or'
the Imperial Fifth District, and pays I"
or 50 or-60 per cent, of the taxes, yet is
out in the cold when it comes to repre
sentation, has no Congressman, no Sen
i ator nor nothing and has never had no
thing, while the lesser bailiwicks tote off
all of these political emoluments.
Many who heard Mr. freeman's able
broadcast, and deeply sympathized witn
him and Winston-Salem in the anguish
of their bereavement, yet wondered why
now that Winston-Salem has a tine
chance to get a Governor its big-shot up
per bracket politicians should be for the
candidate from Gaston county.
i It is a well known fact that the masses
of Winston-Salem and Forsyth county
are overwhelmingly for Ralph McDon
ald, one of the purest and ablest men
who ever ran for Governor of North Car
olina, and that in the primary of eight
years ago they gave Ralph 6,000 ma
jority, and now many believe Ralph's
majority on the 27th of May will top
that by several thousands—yet big time
boys like Jim Gray, Jim Haynes, Mike
Tray nor, Lon Bolich, et cetera, are jubi
lantly and ostentatiously wearing clust
ers of the berry that the catbirds of May
eat so ravishingly.
We cannot understand such political
philosophy as this.
Maybe it's just because we can't under
stand things like that.
But honestly, we do not sawy.
On To Berlin
Before the month of May is ended you
will possibly hear the biggest news of
the century—when the Allied Power be
gins to move to Berlin.
Beyond the human imagination is the
character and size of this movement.
It will embrace uncounted thousands
of men, unnumbered vessels to carry
troops and materiel, great fleets of air
craft, *»*veat fleets of battleships.
De ith, airy and demotion will ride on
the >o ting u in: is.
Let us have the faith tr.nl the courage
of John Paul Jones: "We have just be
gun to tight."
May the God oi b".:\ es gui le the
armies of Fnglnnd and \me: ica as thev
sweep onward t > a ju • and right ecu.-,
