Mr. Bailey accepted him and followed him with enthusiasm. § g Because of the 1928 issue, the eyes of the nation are upon us. | jjj What does all this mean? It means that the most determined fight that has ever been made in the history | § of the state is now being made to deliver the North Carolina Democracy to the wets of New York and the North- | | east, who-are trying to control the National Democratic Party. If the fight against Senator Simmons sue- | I ceeds, the Raskob fight for liquor succeeds. Bailey is the leader of this fight in North Carolina. | 1 Record of Josiah William Bailey FURNIFOLD M.
