SAYS HENRY—
At no time have the American
people been bedeviled by more
troubles than now. At no other
time has there been a greater need
for sound thinking, solid know
ledge and courageous action and
never have we witnessed such an
aggregation of political nincoom
poops as litter up Washington now
Cam Morrison claims he has giv
en 40 years of his life to the Dem
ocratic party. Well, he has been
well paid for his services, if ser
vices you can call it. They tell you
Cam Morrison has written more
platforms than any other man in
North Carolina, but in writing
these platforms I have noticed he
always wrote them to suit himself
and his individual class and not
the people.
Why is it Cam Morrison is cam
paigning today without an issue?
Because for 40 years he has been
burying real issues as they came
up before him. That’s why we’ve
got a steer-cart government in an
airplane age, voting for such man
as Cam Morrison and that’s why
I am voting for Robert R. Rey
nolds next Saturday.
