Asheboro, N. C, June 3, 1920
Next Saturday, June 5, will
wind up the primary campaign in
the state. It is to be hoped thai
candidates for the different offices
will be nominated without a sec
ond primary. The Courier has al
ways been loyal to the Democrat
ic party, and as heretofore, will
gladly support the nominees, who
ever they may be. We believe the
Democrats of the county and
state will use their best judg
ment in selecting candidates and
hence these nominees will be
worthy of our support.

In a political contest, most men
have a reason, satisfactory to them
selves at leajt, why they give their
support to a certain candidate. All the
reasons are not the same and perhaps
do not contain the same degree of
soundness. Still, and none the less,
they are all reasons, and in all proba
bility appear differently to different
individuals. Ifs a good policy for any
man, howevei, possessing the solemn
responsibility of franchise, to exam
ine well his own reasons, occasionally
to go over his list, and take stock of
himself.

close of the great struggle, old glory
floating over the graves of more than
70,000 soldiers'. Different allies organi

out the republic, detachments of blue

in the cemeteries, wher lie those who

'i FOR FUTCHtR'S
CASTORIA
TO THE DEMOCRATS OF NORTH CAROLINA:
When you go to the polls next Saturday, June 5,
I hope you will make up your mind beforehand that
?ou are going to mark a ballot for ROBERT N.
AGE FOR GOVERNOR and that you are going to
do so regardless or any pressure that may be brought
to bear by politicians working for other candidates.
I ask you to do this simply because z believe Mr.
Page is the best man for Governor and for reasons
which I submit to your own thoughtful consideration
and judgment Here are nine definite and explicit
reasons why I believe this:
1. Mr. Page tells where he stands. He started out
by announcing a definite platform for state progress.
and development and he was the hrst candidate to
answer frankly and explicitly the questions asked by
the organized farmers and laborers of the Etr.te.
Governor Bickett answered such a questionnaire four
years ago: so did Mr. Daughtndge. Mr. McAdoo has
est answered such a questionnaire. So have Mr.
oover and other presidential candidates. Mr. Page
has never dodged any request for his views on public
questions.
2. Mr. Page proposes to make economy and effi
ciency the keynote of his administration. North Car
olinians now pay several million dollars a year in
taxes. Any other great business having such vast
expenditures would ret the wiset judgment of organ
ization experts as to how best to promote efficiency
and economy in every line. If elected Governor, Mr.
Page promises not only to give his own time to this
end, but to employ ine country s Dest experts to help
him. Our systems of county government can also
be made much more economical, and Mr. Page will
formulate and advocate policies to this end.
8. Mr. Page has the training needed to make his
program a success. As Mr. 1. Z. Green says:
"He began his business career when his enter
prising family was seriously embarrassed by debts
due to the general poverty of the South, and it
was only after years of labor w::h both muscle
and mind, on the farm and at lumber camp, that
Mr. Page at last achieved his business success.
He known what it Is to toil, knows the work and
sweat back cf a dollar, and in th great task of
admin I uterine our state government and its mil-
" lions of dollars In tax money, he will carry out his
'pledge to "make efficiency and economy the key
note of his administration' "
because his training fits him for this task. The life
training of the other two candidates has been ss law
yers. Without, any reflection on that worthy profes
sion, will not such training as Mr. Page has had bet
ter fit a Governor for the great business of adminis
tering the state's business the next four years t '-
4. He has the best program ot rural progress
and this interests city voters also. He has baen all
his life an advocate of rural progress good schools,
good roads, better marketing methods, and all the
other agencies needed for the development of Ncrth
Carolina farming. As he has well said: "Unless corn-
try lite is made more attractive, the continued mi
gration from the rural sections to the cities will in
evitably result in 3iich underproduction that there
will be undernourishment and suffering in the. cities."

, i : i i. . i i t i ...
iiiivui nacnme duck ui mm. ne nas reueu not on
lining up leading politicians at every county seat,
but on direct appeal to the farmers and voters of
North Carolina. "
6. lie has conducted a clean campaign. He has
not played the demagogue before the neoDle. but has
met every issue courageously and he has always op
posed the use of money in "oolitics. "Men will not
buy votes if they cannot see them delivered." and Mr.
Page favors the secret ballot as the most effective
remedy for political corruption.
7. His platform on. taxation is the soundest pro
posed by any candidate. He advocates (1) larcer in
heritance and income taxes, so as to put a larger pro
portion oi tne tax Duroen on tnose most able to bear
it (2) Favors lower tax rate on homes occupied by
owners, so as to encourage home ownership and dis
courage absentee landlordism. (8) Favors raising
state revenues by inheritance, income and corpora
tion taxes so that real and personal property would
be taxed only for county and local purposes and to
insure an ample school term for all rural districts.
(4) Favors changing tax listing date for farmeps
from January 1 back to May 1 as formerly.
8. He Is not a factional candidate but would unify
all elements m the part. One of Mr. Page's oppo
nents is running with the widely advertised endorse
ment of Ex-Governor Kitchin, tne other candidate as
the favorite of Senator Simmons. Factional lines
are being sharply drawn. Is it not the duty of all
Democrats who place the good ot the party above
faction to unite on Page a man whom Simmons-men
and Kitchin-men alike acknowledge would make a
great Governor and who. ia objectionable to neither
faction 7 '
9. Last but not least,' Mi1. Page la a man or high,
est character. No breath of suspicion has even been
uttered against him. Free from cant, pretense or
hypocrisy, tlte simple dignity, honor and uprightness
of the man have won him honors both from state and
church. , ' . ' ,f-, '
p IF THESE NINE REASONS FOR SUPPORTING MR. PAGE convince yon
that he should be our next Governor, then I repeat that you should make ud vour
