INDEPENDENTS ON PARKER.
The Charlotte Observer quotes the
Greensboro News as believing that
Mr. John J. Parker, Republican
nominee for Governor, "is doing
yeoman service in the cause of the
Democrats." It believes that in the
course of his speech at Durham, Mr.
Parker "managed to make it exceed
ingly uncomfortable-for any man
possessed of both honesty and in
telligence who might have wished to
vote for him." The News was re
ferring to Mr. Parker's contention
that the Legislature will repeal the
revaluation act, and that if it should
fail, he would be elected and would
remove the law from the statute
books. The News does not thing it

Mr. W. W. Brummitt, Oxford, N. C.
Dear Mr. Brummitt:
I appreciate very much your favor
of the 14th. I am in favor of the
Public School Plank in the Democrat
ic Platform. I am in favor of tno
Good Roads Plank.
I am in favor of the Revaluation
Plank as far as it goes, but my views
are not covered by the Platform. I
herewith enclose you a statement of
my views of the Revaluation Ques
tion made in answer to the Question
naire of the Farmers and Labor Peo
ple. s
I was opposed to Woman Suffrage
two years ago and helped beat it in
the State Convention. ' I voted; again
st it in the recent State Convention,
and a majority of the Delegates from
Mecklenburg did. I am against Wo
man Suffrage, and expect to go down
in defeat without changing my views.
Of course, I suppose the General As
sembly will feel bound by the decla
ration in the Platform. I can go fur
ther than to say at this time that 1
will discuss this question in a public
speech in which I expect to urge
some limit upon the right of negro
i women to vote before the Legislature
acts. Very truly yours,
CAMERON MORRISON.

having helped write an iniquitous
act upon the statute books." It is j "profiteering
the belief of the News that if Par
ker would drop his "piffle," and
"jump on the sins of the Democrats
instead of their virtues, he might
make a campaign that would rock
the old State to its foundations."
And the Hickory Record, another
"indepnednt" paper to which the
Republicans have been in the habit
of hopefully turning, expresses the
bold opinion that "the revaluation
act will not be repealed and Mr.
Parker will not.be elected governor.
i
He is fighting honest progress and;
i
ought to know it." The Greens
boro Record, a third link in the
chain of independent papers, is call
ing on Mr. Parker to make himself
clear. It wants him to specify where
in the revaluation act is iniquitous."
Mr. Parker, says the Record,
"should make it appear beyond ques
tion that he is not objecting to the
revaluation cf property itself, lest
he be classed among the demagog
ues as a danger to the mental health
of the people."
Mr. Parker will get cold comfort
out of the direction in which the
mind of the independent papers of
the State is running. With the de
liverance of his keynote speech be
fore the students of the North Car
olina University one very firm con
clusion was formed in the mind of
The Charlotte Observer. That was
"that whatever hopes the Republi
can candidate might have entertain
ed of winning votes and for a Re
publican candidate to win in a state
election he must win a large number
must win between 30,000 and 40,
000 those hopes had been blasted
by his position on the question of
State tax reform. Mr. Parker has
deliberately set himself in antago
nism of the financial interests of
farmer and laborer, capitalist and
professional man. The one man in
North Carolina with whom he
hand and glove, is Marion Butler
