Y. JOYKER (State Supt. of Public Instruction) My attention has been called to an article appearing 'n the Indepen dent' and the Evening News of Ella abeth City as an advertisement by Mr. C .R. Pugh, nominee of the Re publican party for Superintendent of Public Instruction of North Car olina. Were I nlcr.e, involved, I should be disposed to trea with the silent contempt that It deserves this tis sue of falsehood misstatements and slander by lnuendo and leave the lite that I hive endeavored to lead and the service that I have con scientiously endeavored to render to my people to answer for me but as the honor and reputation of my party and of my dead friends who can not speak for themselves are at tacked, I tel it my duty to reply. Slander by lnuendo Is the mean-, est falsehood, misstatements, and slander of this sort hiding behind' the name of another Is cowardly. For Mr, Mose, vhon? conduct .and career for the past several years end whose treatment of his best and closest friends, show hlrn to have -become Insanely suspicious, I have nothing but pity. Because 'of his valuable services In the past to the public schools In this State, when he was himself it Is exceed 'ngly painful to me to be compelled In justice to my (lend friends and myself, to Ray this about him. Brings Feeling of Contempt. For the man who deliberately clr ' ulates such slanderous inuendoes, 'n an effort to win a few votes by such a demagogical rppeal to Ignor ance, prejudice, and evil-minded sus picions, I can not restrain a feeling of contempt nnd of humiliation at having us my opponent, a circulator of insidious, indirect slanders under the name of another upon Mb neigh borhood nnd fellow-citizens,- living and dead. The lives of S. M. Finger, Charts B. Aycock, Itenj. K. Aycock, and Charles r. Mclver lived cleanly and hhonorably in private and in public spent in mot honorable and unsel fish service to their people is the l:est answer to this hyena-like at tempt to besmirch their honor for political gain after their death. ThOse who knew them. Democrats and Republlcins a'ike, should and wi.'l treat w th the scofn thnt It deserves, the unwarranted, insinua tions thut they ever abused their public trust or use.! their public office and Influence directly or ln direcly for graft or private gain. Great Privilege. To have enjoyed the confidence nnd friendship of these men.I count among the greatest honor and priv ileges of my life. To this charge, Which seems to be the most griev ous charge brought against me per sonally in theso circulated hallucin ations of a d'sordered brain by an unscrupulous demagogue, f. proudly plea, guilty. I stem to be the only living witness, but r,jdqttnoe as utterly without foundation eveyr statement, and Insinuation in this, iirtielo ruflect'niir upon their honor end honesty and , mine, I had DO more to do with the clinngo Of text books in the Raleigh schools of which Mr. Moses was then superin tendent to which reference Is mad In hfs articlei than the man In the moon. The records will show' tha Instead of frying to "force ttie adopt ed books into the Raleigh jnd other reboots, I notified them after - gett ing the opinion of the Attorney general that they ; were exempt un der -the law, The 'records will also show that the readers and most ot the other books on tbe adopted list at the time referred. to' In this ar tide, had been Toted against by me in 1901, a8 chalrmn of the Sub. Text Book Commission and also by Governor Aycock as chairman of ' the state Board of Education' " and Text-Book Commission. The record will show that not a single one of the books ot Ginn & Company, was adopted and that only one of their books had been on the adopted list, unt'l this year When one other' was added To the best of my recollec tions, the only time during my term of office that I ever attempted '; to Influence the action of the" trUs-, tees of the Raleigh schools In 1 aty " matter was when upon information K that they were not going to re-elect Mr. Moses superintendent of their ' schools. I voluntarily made a per:" sonal' appeal vto several of my per sonal friends on the board not, to ' drop him. Mr. J. W. Bailey,' among, others then trustees, would corro borate this statement, were it nec essary. I 9 Resents Insinuation. It would seem to me cause , for -. congratulations and commendation rather than criticism and ins'nua- J tlon of undue influence that; the '' books of North Carolina authors and? North Carolina publishers. If of ' equal merit and price with others, -should be adopted for use ' In North Carolina schools.' It Is an honor to have men engaged In the service Of; the State that have the ability to write text books on history 'fcrst can win in competition with the United States before a fair and honorable board. Any inslnnation that the text-book commission and nub-coin- mission, composed of as honorab'e ' ' and competent men ns the Statu af. 3 fords, under oath to select books up on ther merit, quality and price were influenced in the selection ' of these books by any Improper mo-'-fives is untrue awl unsupported by ".' any evidence like all the other nhnrcrRu fin. I foluu Intinnrf... n t iUlm article, k; Z."g'WX '', In the first part of his article, Mr I 'ugh man'fests either an ignorance of the public school law that Is In-' ' 4 excusable fh rny North Carolina law .' er or a deliberate purpose to d? ' celve by Incorrect, statements and Interpretations of the law. He must, know that neither the Superintend-. ,' ent of Public Instruct'ons nor the..,, members of the General Assembly1 ' ; have mythlng on earth to do with the appointement of school commit ', , teemen, who are appointed under i ' the law by the county board of edu-,,.. 1' cation. If, however, he will read . - the biennial reports of tSfr Superln tendent of Public Instruction he wll! find among the circular letters sent',! biennially to county boards of edu- . i rauuu a leuer urging tnem to ap- point the lest men for , committee- - men "Irrespective of political afflia tions," and lso urging them to se lect the bes( qualified men for coun ty superintendent irrespective of Where he comes from or of his poli tical affiliations, Upon Investiga tion he will also And hundreds of ; good Republican school committee men In North Carolina appointed by Democratic boards of education who have heartily co-operated and often; lej movements for the success and Improvement of their schools snd, ylio will continue to do so and to shire In the credit therefor if petty.
