Supporters of Willis Smith say Smith
should be sent to the United States Senate
because he will vote as Mr. Clyde Hoev
votes, that Smith will not cancel out Hoev’s
votes.
That’s saving votes, all light, But, first
let’s understand how Hoev has been voting.
The record shows that he has voted more
consistently with that arch Republican, Rob
ert A. Taft, than he has with his own party.
Just recently Mr. Hoev went against the
people when he voted for a company gas
bill. He has struck a dagger into the back
of the common people again and again. If
there’s is to be a people’s democracy, the
people must keep Smith away from Hoev,
for once the two team up in the Senate
there’ll be two daggers instead of one. The
thing to do is throw Mr. Hoev into the Re
publican pit where he and others of his
ilk belong.
Let Smith Hoev and their corporation
bed fellows pick up the Republican banner,
and let such men as Frank Graham pick up
the people's banner and march into battle
in the general election. It's high time the
Republican were thrown out bodily from
the Democratic primaries.
Seeing the isues more clearly as time goes
on. the people of Martin County and North
Carolina do not propose on June 24 to sur
render to the enemy within their camp. It is
sincerely believed they’ll speak louder than
they did on May 27, and march forward to
a greater victory on June 24.
Refmthinf!
It is really refreshing to see a fellow come
out in the open and state his position. There
has been so much double talk and trickery
that confusion followed in mass quantities.
The State Magazine editor came out a few
days, as. follows:
“We are opposed to the Government enter
ing into the field of private business.
“We are opposed to the government put
ting out money to help a man buy or build
his home.
“We are opposed to federal aid for hospit
als. lunch rooms, old-age assistance, social
security and other great humanitarian pro
jects in which the Government has become
involved in recent years."
The State Magazine editor goes on to say
that he is opposed, with some few except
ions, to subsidies. It is inferred that he op
j poses the farm program.
Then he states his position as favoring
the following duties of the government:
1. To make laws; 2. To pass'upon t|je val
idity of these'laws; and, 3. To see that the
laws are carried out.
Hats off to Carl Goerch or whoever wrote
in black and white that position. We do not
question his right to the beliefs he enter
tains, but we move to disagree with every
drop of our blood and every ounce of our
strength the position taken by the Magazine
editor. And we do not hesitate to say that
his position is the same held by the arch
Republicans, the concentrated wealth and
the privileged in this and other lands.
Some would have the government stand
idly by while the powerful gobbled up the
weak, but holler for help with economic
diaster faces them as it did during the thir
ties.
We don’t know exactly what it is, but
we had rather see the government provide
food for little children rather than to see
little children go hungry. We had rather
see the government lend to those men who
fought in war money with which to build
home rather than see those men live in
garrets. We had rather see the aged receive
pensions than want in their declining years.
We had rather see government-supported
schools and institutions rather than see the
doors of school houses and universities open
to the few, the sons and daughters of the
rich. The fair-minded will remember that
it was just a few years ago that only the
chosen few could go to school. The desired
goal where all can go to school and college
has not yet beep reached, but we challenge
any man to come forward with a system
better than the present onq whereby more
and more young men and women are travel
ing the road to higher education and a better
life. . ....
And that’s the issue offered in bold relief
today: Whether Smith will buy his way
into the United States Senate to represent
the colorations and favor monopoly power;
or whether the people will send Frank Gra
ham to the Senate to represent the people,
to make the government a servant of the
people and not the people a slave of un
controlled monopoly.
