We therefore denounce the present system of couuty governments established by the state legislature through the machinations of the Democratic pHrty whereby the people are denied the right to select their county officer, as tyrannical in the cxtreme.i aubvensive of tho dearest riehts of the neonfe. and a cross viola- j tion of the fundamental principles of our government, and we submit an a reasonable proposition that it is the imperative udy of every fair minded m,n : ik. .tata- of North Carolina to j assiftjia iu all and every effort we way . . . . . . v. . ...... system oi county government blotted out.
