ANSWERS
1. The Fayetteville and Western
Plank Road( incorporated in 1848 and
I completed about 1854. The road ex

North Carolina.
2. The discovery of bituminous coal

Deep River section, and advocated its
development. He compared its possi
bilities with those of Pennsylvania.

OTHERS VIEWS
PRAISES DEMOCRATIC TICKET
To the Editor:
The very polite and highly compe
tent, Hon. Gilliam Grissom, the Re
publican candidate for governor, has
apparently convinced himself that he
will be the next chief executive of
North Carolina. Moreover, he has
a lot of Republicans thinking the
same thing and a small number of
disgruntled Democrats.
Sueh extreme optimism deserves a
small measure of recompense, but no
man in his right mind believes Mr.
Grissom will come within one hun
dred *vd fifty thousand votes of real
izing his ambitions to become gover
nor. This is simply not a Republican
year in either North Carolina or the
nation. The Democrats have nomi
nated superb candidates in the per
sons of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
for the presidency and Clyde R. Hoey
for the governorship. This is a win
ning ticket which no amount of Re
publican effort can defeat.
Gilliam Grissom is by all odds the
best equipped candidate for ‘the gov
ernorship the Republicans have nom
inated in a decade in this state. He
will poll the heaviest vote of any Re
publican in the last quarter of a cen
tury but he will fall far short of a
majority. North Carolina has been
blessed with good governors for forty
years. Our affairs are, and always
have been, in good condition since the
Democrats came into power. We
have an honest and efficient govern
ment, recognised everywhere as one
of the best, if not the best and most
progressive in all the states in tl\e
Union. We did not come by this
splendid reputation it
was brought about by a wise and
competent Democratic leadership.
The people of North Carolina are not
yet ready to turn their government
over to Republican control again. It
has been many years since they wore
in power, but too many unhappy
memories of that sad and turbulent
period of Republican misrule, still
linger in the minds of the Democratic
voters of North Carolina for them
to take another chance soon.
In the nation the Republicans have
nominated a good man for President.
He would in all probability make a
fairly successful executive; however,
in President Roosevelt the Democrats
have the most vivid and colorful can
didate the nation has known since it
came into being. He has been tried,
and not found wanting, in all the
splendid qualifications we demand
and expect our president to possess,
true he has made mistakes at times,
but he does not make the same mis
take a second time. His achievements
in the three and a half years of his
administration, have brought such
far reaching benefits to the business
people, farmers and laboring men,
they? cannot be measured in terms of
dollars and cents, in addition to the
material benefits the people of this
country are now enjoying, the hearts
and minds of men and women have
been regenerated and made glad by
President Roosevelt’s adrhinistration.

CHOOSE BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC
PRINCIPLES AND POLITICAL
FICTION.
To the Editor:
Commencing with partisan political
history of our country you will find
that the first political parties (Fed
eralists and Republican) were formed
in 1797. Our second president, John
Adams, was elected by the Federalists.
You may be surprised to know that
Thomas Jefferson was a Republican.
The first Democratic president was
Andrew Jackson in 1829.
Notwithstanding the fact that Jef
ferson, who wa s the author of the
‘American Declaration of Independ
ence, was elected to the presidency
as a Republican he is known as the
father of Democracy, which by no
means infers that he was either a
Democrat or a Republican. The facta
are that prior to 1854, which is the
date of the organization of our pres
ent Republican party, the difference
was only technical. Taking past poli
tical history together with the Amer
ican Declaration of Independence as
authority, it is clear to my mind that
principles involved are more vital
than technical partisan customs.
“We hold these truths to ibe self
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Govern
ments are instituted among Men, de
riving their just powers from the con
sent of the governed, That whenever
any Form of Government becomes de-

- federation. _
structive of these ends, it is the Right
of the People to alter or to abolish it
and to Institute new Government, lay
ing its foundation on such principles
and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their Safety and Hap
piness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate
/that Governments long established,
(Should not be changed for light and.
transient causes; and accordingly all
experience hath shown, that mankind:
are more disposed to suffer, while
evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when
a long train of abuses and usurpa
tions, pursuing invariably the same
abject evidences a design to reduce
them under absolute despotism, it is
their right, it is their duty, to throw
off such Government, and to provide
new Guards for their future security.”
It is the history of the Democratic
party that it has at all times cham
pioned the rights of the great masses
of citizens, therefore when it ceases
to do so it becomes disintegrated and
worthless to them for their protection
Without the fear of successful con
tradiction, I charge that there has
gr own up within the Democratic
.party in North Carolina certain
wealthy interests which have usurped
the control of the elections by means
which are beneath the standard of
Democracy. They have succeeded in
influencing administrative and legis
lative bodies for a selfish and unjust
end. Justice to the great masses is no
longer recognized as a fundamental
objective of our state government.
It has become plainly evident to the
thinking numbers among the masses
that principles must take priority over
the exploded. partisan theory that you
must vote for the party nominee re
gardless of the principles for which
he stands or the manner in which he
received the nomination. In present
ing this article for your considera
tion and criticism (if you wish), I do
so free from an attitude to advise
or persuade, further than to say that
posterity will reap the results of our
actions. I have no ax to grind or poli
tical favors to ask and am in a posi
tion to say I will not surrender prin
ciples and further entrench political
adversaries. It is my purpose to re
main neutral for the next two and
four years, at the expiration of which
I will again offer my feeble services
in a fight to place the control of the
Democratic party back into the hands
of the people of North Carolina.
I offer as a guide for my convic
tions the following verse by Lowell:
“Is true freedom rut to brake
Fetters for our own dear sake.
And with leathern hands, forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No! true freedom is to share
All the chins our brothers wear.
And with heart and hand to be
Earnest to make others free.
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak
They are slaves w T ho will not choose
Hatred, scoffing and abuse
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must
think.
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.”
Respectfully,
W. A. CONNELL.

MR. WRIGHT WRITES AGAIN.
To the Editor:
In our late primaries I voted for
iMfcDonald, because he had the cour
age and goodness of heart to come
out squarely and openly in the in
terest of the rank and file —the farm
ers and workers —in North Carolina,
I knew, if ultimately elected Gover
nor, little he could do to help us, for
I was sure the next Legislature would
be iike all former ones, ultra-conser
vative. That is to be used by the
wealth of the State for its own pri
vate ends. But, I reasoned, could we
elect McDonald we would make at
least one step towards freeing our
selves from money machine rule
which so long has hindered our pro
gress as a free people. And that step
by step we could gain some favors
for those who toil in the years to
come. But we are faced now with a
four year wait unless something is
done within the next few months.
So I am fully decided, the thing for
those of us who voted for McDonald
in the primary, to do, is vote for Mr.
Gilliam Grissom, the Republican
Nominee, in the November election.
Mr. Grissom is a man of unquestion
able character and marked ability. He
is loved and highly respected by all
who know him. He has as many quali
fications to make us a good Governor
as any man in the State. There is only
one difference in his party and the
party Mr. Hoey stands for. The Re
publican party boldly proclaims that
it stands for predatory wealth, while
Mr. Hoey’s Democratic machine de
clares its interest in the people, it
does the bidding of the rich. God
knows there is really no difference in
the two parties, except one is more
honest than the other.
It is very clear to my mind there
are in North Carolina at least fifty
thousand voters who voted for Mr.
Hoey in the last primary who do not
know their onions about things poli
tical in our State. I talked with many
men and women, during the campaign
who had nothing between them and
the wolf of want, but the grace of
God, who said they would vote for
Graham or Hoey. They did not know
it, but who wants to say, they were
not by thus voting, keeping themsel
ves in poverty? No one could expect
the rich not to vote for Hoey in the
last primary or he or Graham in the
first. They stood for the same old
Democratic machine idea, that has
helped to bring the State and the na
tion to its present awful plight. That
abominable idea that farmers and all
who work should live on the husks
while the few fortunate rich should
have the kernels. That idea prevailed
long years ago when black ignorance
was all but universal, but thanks be
to a few like the late Governor
Aycock who were followers of Jesus
Christ with a feeling for their fellow
men, times are changing very fast.
Intelligent men and women are not
content to lead lives of slavery for
just the husks. None but a dirty brute
would try to thwart their efforts for
a fair share of the returns for their
labor.
So I claim about fifty thousand at
least cast their vote for Hoey who
would have far better have voted for
McDonald, and it ig no question in
Red Sails in the Sunset!
my mind but that they would have
voted for McDonald had they been
properly informed. I expect some in.
this State think the stars would fall
if they did not vote the way their
fathers did. There certainly will v;e a
shock to them when the scales fall
from their eyes and they see things
political in their true light. They will
realize then they have only in their
past voting been slaves to those who
were robbing them.
'lhe only way we the farmers and
working people of this State can get
any thing good out of the present po
litical condition that fifty thousand
ignorant voters. have put us in, is to
elect (M!r. Gilliam Grissom for our next
Governor. It will be a lasting benefit
to our State and country in many
ways. I have space to mention only
one; which is, it will show the Dem
ocratic State Machine that we are
not their servants, and that we will
not do their bidding and lend a hand
to them in their nefarious schemes to
keep farmers and working people
poor, while a few rich folks live in
luxurious plenty.
