KNIGHT Candidate For the Htuse of Representatives "* As I have already stated to begin with, my Platfarm was of the People, for the People and by the People. Now a few words in connection with this Platform. The peo t .lc of Stokes County are hard working people. They haven't and will not ask for more than a squrre deal. We arc going to have many problems to lace in the future. The majority of the people that live in Stokes County are farmers. We should try to protect our own interest. We believe in A free p'opk, to be governed by the majority of the people. We believe in equal rights and special privi leges to none. 1 was not educated for a lawyer, but to make it plain it does not take that kind of educa tion to fit p. nip.n for this particular office. What w. need most of all is a conscientious, trustworthy, good comraor judgment for repealing oi making la vs, to cooperate with the people and to work for the good of ail. I haven't made any provaises. That which wt promise we nv.isi do. The Legislature is a law-making bodv compo.-ed of representatives for each county. Nov, thin, when it becomes necessary to repeal or to enact n»\v laws, then it is our duty to let the voice of the ptv.pk be heard. Then let us work togeth er for good ar.d not for evil. We should not exercise authority over the people by which you may have power to tn'vc authority. Instead of exercising authority we should remember that we are servants af the people rather than rulers. If ever there was a time since the world began that morale, lustiee and honesty should be construed among tin v ople, it is now. Whether it be in holding elections or in everyday life, and write you these words as 1 tit here at my desk tonight alone. 1 am : n deep concern. I don't think it is necessary to write such a long speech, as I have outlined my platform in short cuts, in olain English so you can understand Tl.is will be my last appeal to you. the p?o; le, for your unanimous support to a Farmer bey f or theLLegisla ture. Sincerely, with happiness, sociallibility and om of speech, IN LIMA O. KINIGMT.
