AS TO TITCH
The address of the retiring Mod
erator of the Northern Presbyterian
church, Dr. John Willis Baer, ad
vocating the active participation of
the church in politics, indicates the
awakening of the churches to the
necessity of taking a more active
part in the things of government. It
is good advice, and if , followed will
be a "short cut" to the political re
generation of the country.
Gang politics exists only because
the best citizens of a city or state
choose to let it exist. The churches
should be the most formidable ene
my of the Political gangster, but the
political interests of the church
heretofore has been sporadic and has
been confined to single issues fath
er than with the general evils which
lie at the root of our unsatisfactory
political situation.
The policy of the church in the
past has been too much that one can
not touch pitch without being defil
ed. This may be true, but it should
also be remembered that pitch can
not be removed without touching it.

of all men.
Mr. Page is the only candidate for Governor
who has declared for changing the date of
tax-listing for farmers back to May 1st.
Page for Governor means a Dollar Tax gets
a Dollar Value.
Mr. Page would draw to the support of the
Democratic Party that increasingly large
number of independent voters in the State.
We should have an eye to the future.
Robert N. Page is not a lawyer. He is a
plain business man. He is the only candi
date for Governor who is distinctly a busi
ness man.

I hereby announce myself a can

"The wages of sin is death", really physical death, too. God
allows the ills of humanity; He spared not His own Son, and He
does not spare us, "because we are sons." The "sting of death"
need not be feared by the Christian, who believes in Christ, the
conqueror of death and sin, and in whose, power he may conquor.
If we really believe and understand something of the meaning of
God in Christ, there should a penetrating satisfaction, influ'enc

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 you are toe
ing to mark a ballot for ROBERT N. PAGE for GOVER
NOR and that you are going to do so regardless of any
pressure that may be brought to bear by politicians work
ing for other candidates
I ask you to do this simply because Mr. Page is the best
man for Govemorand for reasons which I submit to your
own thoughtful consideration and judgement. 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 de
velopment and he was the first candidate to answer frank
ly and expiicitely the questions asked by the - organized
farmers and laborers of the State. Governor Bickett an
swered such a questionnaire four years ago; so did Mr.
Daughtridge. Mr- McAdoo has just answered such a ques
tionnaire. So have Mr. Hoover and other presidential can
didates. Mr. Page has never dodged any request for his
views on public questions.
2. Mr. Page proposes to make economy and efficiency
the keynote of his 'administration. North Carolinians now
pay several million dollars a year in taxes. Any other
great business having such vast expenditures would get the
wisest judgement of organization 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 the country's test 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.
3. Mr. Page has the training needed to make his pro
gram a success. As Mr. J. Z. Green says:
...
He began his business career when his enterpris
ing family was seriously embarrassed by debts due to
the general poverty of the South, and it was only af
ter 'years of labpr with both mind and muscle, on the
,. farm and at lumber camp, that Mr. Page at last achiev
ed his business success. He knows what it is to toil,
knows the work and sweat back of a dollar, and in the
great task qf administering our State government and
its millionsfbllars in tax mocey, he will carry out
his pledge tjp4ake efficiency and economy the key- .
note of hisapinistration.' "
because his trjiiSlg fits him for" this task. Te life-training
of the other Wo candidates has been as lawyers. With
out any reflection on that worthy profession, will not such
training as. Mr. Page has had better fit a Governor for the
great business of administering the State's business the
next four years?
4. He lias the best program of rural progress and this
; interests city voters also. He' has been all his life an ad
vocate of rural progress good schools, good roads, bet-
i. ter marketing methods, and all the other agencies needed
for the development of North Carolina farming. As he
has well said. "Unless country life is made more attrac
tive, the continued migration from the rural sections to the
cities will inevitably result in such underproduction that
there will be undernourishment and suffering in the ci
tiesV' 5. As Mr. J. Z. Green says: "Mr. Page has no politi
cal machine back of him. He has relied not on lining up
leading politicians at everyv county seat but on a direct ap
peal to the farmers and voters of North Carolina."
- 6. He has conducted a clean campaign. He has not
played the demagogue before the people, but has met ev
ery issue courageously and he has always opposed the use
of money in politics. "Men will not buy votes if they can
not see them delivered," and Mr. Page favors the secret
. ballot, as the most effective remedy for political corrup
tion. 7. His platform on taxation is the soundest proposed by
r any candidate. He advocates (1) larger inheritance and
income taxesr so as to put a larger proportion of the tax
burden on those most able to bear it. (2) Favors lower
tax-burden on homes occupied by owners, so as to encour
age home-ownership and discourage absentee landlordism.
(3) Favors raising State revenues by inheritance, income,
and corporation 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 farmers from January
1 back to May 1 as formerly.
8. He is not a factional candidate but would unify all
elements in the party. One of Mr. Page's opponents is
running with the widely-advertised endorsement of ex
Governor Kitchen, the other , candidate as the favorite of
Senator Simmons. Fractional lines . are being sharply
drawn. Is it not the duty of all Democrats who place the
good of the party above faction to unite on Mr. Page a
man whom Simmons-men and Kitchen-men alike acknow
ledge would make a great Governor and who is objection-
. able to neither faction? ,
9. Last but not least, Mr. Page is a man of highest character. No breathe of suspicion has ever, been uttered against him. Free from
cant, pretense or hypocrisy, the simply dignify honor and uprightness' of the man have won him honors beth from State and church.
IF THESE NINE REASONS FOR SUPPORTING MR. PAGE convince you that he should be our next Governor, then I repeat that you
should make up your mind beforehand to vote for Mr. Page and let no paid or unpaid workers for other candidates prevent you from doing
so. . - - ., ; : - I V . . - -
More than this, you should SEE YOUR NEIGHBORS and get them to go to the polls and vote for Mr. Page. He Sias no political machine
behind him. No powerful corporation influences are supporting him. He is also opposed to he use of money as a means of getting the
nomination, and the law also forbids it. ? To you and to all other independent voters therefore he makes this direct appeal and ASKS
NOT ONLY FOR YOUR VOTE BUT FOR YOUR SERVICE IN GETTING OUT OTHER VOTERS IN HIS BEHALF.
