North Carolina should give Anjrus Wilton Mrlfin fin imntoncA maim-it,, . "j""j for Governor was the statement made by a prominent Democratic leader in Washington recently. This :man is not a N. Carolinian, but from anouier slate. Me came to know Mr. , McLean during the world war and im i mediately thereafter. He was talk ; ing to a group of North Carolinians in Washington about political conditions in the state. The gentleman speaking continued: "Of course I know that McLean will be elected, and by a handsome vote but I hope that it will be more than a handsome vote, for he is a man who deserves an overwhelming majority because of the man he is and the rec ord he has made Selected by Presi dent Woodrow Wilson as a member of the War Finance Corporation he came to Washington but little known in a general way, except that he was a good business man and the North Car olina member of the Democratic Nat ional committee. But when he left Washington he left with a national reputation as a man who knew how to do things and who did things. Wilton McLean was the only meni ber of the important War Finance Corporation from the cotton growing states, and I know that it was his in- fluenre a mmw f w tion which brought attention to the financial needs of the cotton growers of the South which Mr. McLean held to be imperative. He urired hi v,Wa in season and out unnn the tw bers of the board and it is a familiar 1 lch, the peple of North Carolina story that the South was aided in a . ?n& 8uJeret A edu way by the loans of the War Finance TJ0?ty fo' ort Telnals m North Corporation for the handling of the aUna I"? he'P to tcor!f th's ,in t . xt. j Justice. This state of affairs helDs parts of the South can well applaud- the work done by Wilton McLean Knew Southern Needs "In time Mr. McLean was made the Managing Director of the governing board of the Corporation, and in that position he rendered full service to all portions of the country. But being a Southern man he knew more of the needs of the Southern cotton producers and the men who handled cotton than in the other productive enterprises which he aided by his work and knowl edge of the needs of the country. He made so fine an impression upon President Wilson and the Secretary of the Treasury that in addition to the duties he was performing that he was called upon to take the position of i First Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, this position putting him in control of the affairs of the Internal Revenue Bureau through the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue. "That Mr. McLean made good the positions he held is known to all who had dealings with him in his dual du ties. He was at his post of duty early and late, and all who came were con sidered by him. He is said to be cold in manner, but not in truth, Wilton Mc Lean is simply a diffident, modest gentleman. He never tried to thrust himself forward, and his diffidence is what the uninformed take for coldness. To those who came in close contact with him he won the reputation of the most hospitable kind of a Southern gentleman. He had the mental goods, and the financial knowledge to take care of the big interests of the Govern ment in the most capable manner. Commended by Wilson "No man who held office under President Wilson received higher com mendation than did Mr. McLean when at the close of the Wilson adminis tration he submitted his resignation as Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury to the President. In response Mr. Wilson wrote him a warm-hearted letter of appreciation of the splendid service he had rendered the govern ment during his tenure of office. Mr. McLean continued as a member of the War Finance Corporation until the end of the term to which he had been appointed, and he continued In office after the change of administration simply for the reason that it was urged upon him by prominent Demo crats of the South to hold on to the position In order that he might on tinue to give eld to the Bouth. When hie term of office was over President Harding left the South to ahjTt for itself as he appointed as successor to Mr. McLean a man from another sec tion of the country. "I bare learned that Wilton McLean baa been a real captain of Industry In North Carolina. He was real cap tain of affairs while he wm. in Washington end was so recognised. I Understand that North Carolina Is new making the greatest kind of progress, that U a leader of all the State In what it U dolog. It nds than to continue to go forward the service of Juet such a man aa Wilton McLean. For that reason the people of North Carolina should give him an ompowerinr majority, for 1 am on ytooad that bo arill bring ta tha entire Btata tha deration of a native non.tbe wisdom and tha mrperteaca af a Mge Wwa baalneaa ana.

""" ' In glon. and I fJ y -l d.i !( t! t r . f N. C The Freight Rate Situation In N. Interior North Carolina shippers and consumers are compelled, through lack of proportional water-anu-rail rates through State ports, to pay unnecessarily large tributes to rail way companies in freight charges, ac cording to the campaign headquarters of the forces at work to place trans portation facts before the people of North Carolina in order that they may vote intelligently on the proposed port and terminal bill when it comes before them on November 4. Appeal for the correction of this injustice is now before the Inter state Commerce Commission. It was filed by the State Corporation Com mission at the instance of the State Ship and Water Transportation Com mission, which holds that the adoption by the voters. of the port and termin als measure in the coming election will materially aid in securing favor able action by the Interstate Com merce Commission. A statement from campaign head quarters in Raleigh reads: "A through proportional water-and-rail rate is a rate less than the com bined local water rate, plus the local water rate, plus -the local rail rate. Richmond has the same through rail rate to interior North Carolina as Norfolk. The rate to interior points of North Carolina through Charles- ton, which is farther from Norfolk t!lan Wilmington is, is the same as Norfolk rate to Points in western car011na- lhese rates, pos- ' sessed by Virginia and South Caro - i,na' are more favorable than the local ' , yd,e ra,te to W1'"0".

"The record of the appeal before the Interstate Commerce Commission it, Docket 15339 shows that the Clyde I-ine needs traffic, nevertheless its traffic manager testifies that it is running boats to Wilimngton with 42 percent loads, at a cost of 11.02 for each dollar of revenue received. When asked by Commissioner Max well of our Corporation Commission if it would be agreeable for the Inter state Commerce Commission to put in any system of joint through rates between New York and interior points through Wilmington, on a basis of divisions to the Clyde line, if such through rates were less than the water-and-rail rates through Norfolk, his reply was "I do not think we would be willing to do that." Stronger evidence could not be presented of a determination to deny to these interior points in North Carolina the through rates to which they are entitled, made with relation to their proximity to the port of Wilmington. The attitude reflects a determination to preserve and protect the rate structure made to these points through Norfolk and Charles ton. The voter should remember that a favorable referendum vote in Novem ber is the principal step towards breaking the economic transportation chains which bind North Carolina. Fa vorable action will aid in convincing the Interstate Commerce Commission that our state has a right to expect , through its own ports just as favora- ble through rates to its interior ! .
