Last Thursday night at Clay inn a good crowd was present in r the- school auditorium to hear Hen. Josephus Daniels discuss the political issues of the campaign. A good many ladies as well as men were out to hear Mr. Daniels, \\ho was introduced by Mr. Sam T. Honeycutt, nominee for the house of representatives on the demo cratic ticket. The subject of Mr. Daniels speech might be styled: “What Would Woodrow Wilson Do in 1928?” The text of Mr. Daniels speech in part is as follows: "S^Jias It is always a pleasure to speak to the citizenry of the great county of Johnston. I count among my best friends of yester day and today men and women of your county,” said Josephus Dan iels in his speech. “In every con test for good government in this state it has heartened a n d strengthened me to find ‘my mind has run along with yours/ This h^fc been true also in national con tests in which North Carolina has played a part.

It therefore helped mightily in giving to America the greatest President this country has had since Andrew Jackson’s day. And again in the year of 1928 it was a gratification to find myself in accord with the great majority of the people of Johnston in the pre-convention ntest. Whenever I am in accord with Johnston sentiment, it is ac cepted as evidence of pursuing the right course.
