I. Their war service should not
be an issue, but if Willis Smith
was inducted into service July
29, 1918, and was out 11 days
after Nov. 11, 1918. Frank Gra
ham volunteered in the Marines
July 1917 and served until July
1919. 4 months against 24 months.
Short time service here in Amer
ica against fighting in the trench
es and on foreign fields.
Smith says that Frank Graham
is a socialist or that his views
and the Democratic trend is to
ward Socialism. They called Jef
ferson a Socialist. They called
William Jennings Bryan a Soc
ialist. They called Franklin D.
Roosevelt a Socialist. Every man
in modern history that has raised
his voice in behalf of the common
man has been called Socialist.
Every liberal Democrat in my
generation that has opened his
mouth in behalf of the farmer,
laborer or the small business man
has been called Socialist. If soc
ialism means 45 cent tobacco, de
cent wages, good roads, social se
curity, and the kind of Democrat
progress and security that we
now have, give me that and Frank
Graham and give Willis Smith
back to the days before Frank
lin Roosevelt. Let Herbert Hoo
ver and sound conservative gov
ernment as defined by Judge Vas
ser have Willis Smith.
More than that, Willis Smith
has gone back to the dark ages
of North Carolina’s political his
tory and resurrected the old
ghost of racial prejudice. To fool
you, to defeat a man whose life
has been dedicated to service in
North Carolina, to satisfy his de
sire to sit in the United States
Senate as the tool of the rich
and the hired man of intrenched
privilege, Willis Smith is singing
the old forgotten song of racial
hatred and seeking to rekindle
the long extinguished fire of ra
cial sUik\ Every alleged fact i
that he sets forth in this respect
as a basis for his attacks has been
refuted in this campaign again
and again and again. Yet he
comes back and makes these
changes over and over and over.
Senator Hoey says that Willis
Smith’s campaign is the meanest
and dirtiest he has ever seen in
North Carolina.
Men and women of North Caro
lina, you that love your State, that
cherish the record of its pro
gress and pray for the peace and
happiness of its future, stop and
think. This is little politics, this
is dirty politics, but infinitely
worse, this is dangerous politics.
For 50 years. North Carolina's
noblest sons, Aycock, Kitchen,
Craig, Bickett, Morrison, Gardner,
Eringhouse, Broughton, Scott,
Frank Graham and thousands of
others have labored to make this
State a place where the white
man and the colored man could
live and work with mutual re
spect for each other. They have
achieved the North Carolina way,
the Frank Graham way of hand
ling this problem which our At
torney cited in his recent briefs
in the cases before the Supreme
Court of the United States. Win
or lose, the sober, mature verdict
of history will condemn Willis
Smith for making these unwar
rumeu aitu refuted aUaciu> upvh
a i.-:Z a Christian gentleman
and Statesman as ever lived in
any state.
On June 24th, we go forth a
gain to do battle in the age old
struggle for the rights of the lit
tle man, for Democracy, for pro- j
gress, for the American way of j
life. Willis Smith, the corpora-1
tion lawyer and lobbyist, the I
friend of the rich and the tool of'
wealth, is alligning his forces.
On the other side Frank Graham,
the servant of all the people,
sounds his call. Voters of North
Carolina, find your place on
this battlefield. Shoulder your
musket, but let it be a Democratic
musket, fix your bayonet, but
let it be a liberal bayonet. Strike
your blow, but let it be a blow
for freedom. Level your sights,
but level them on the palaces of
privilege. Shoot your shot, but
let it be a shot heard around the
world in behalf of the rights of
the common man. Do this. Do
this and you will vote for Frank
Graham. 1
