Mr. Smith
MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
"I believe in high wage scales for the American
working man/' Willis Smith said in his formal 1950
platform.
In 1947 when appearing before a legislative com
mittee which was then considering a 4| cents-an
hour minimum wage bill Mr. Smith sang a different
tune with different words. On the proposal that the
working men and women of North Carolina hava a
minimum wage of 40 cent* an hour or $16 a weak
Mr. Smith said, "IT IS HARSH AND UNREASON
ABLE. IT WOULD WRECK THE ECONOMY OF
OUR STATE."
What DOES Candidate Smith
Consider a "HICH WAGE SCALE?"
Then on April 20th of this year, for political reasons, Mr.
Smith said he had changed his mind about what ha told tha
legislative committee. He said his heart was not in it when
he said that 40 cents an hour was "HARSH AND UNREA
SONABLE" . . . that he was merely representing the views
of a client, a single industry—for a fee.
Make up your mind, MR. SMITH
WHERE WOULD YOUR HEART BE IN WASHINGTON!

Let The Records
Decide on May 27
When the voters go to the polls
on Saturday of this week, the
records of the candidates should
be weighed carefully.
After heading one of the great
ed universities it, the nation for
twenty years and after working
diligently in every field for the
betterment of mankind, Frank P.
Graham is now pictured bv the
opposition as a scoundrel.
Willis Smith, after working foi
the corporations for years and be
ing markedly absent when work
was to be done for education, for
agriculture and the poor man, is
now pictured by his own camp us
a great savior.
The sudden switch does not
make sense except as a question
able method to gain votes, m l d
is beyond reason to believe that
the people of this State will ig
nore Frank Graham’s great and
noble record, and switch to a
dark horse with a corporation
complex.
