TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1920 - POLITICAL METHODS In running a political campjaign the question comes up how far it is legitimate to pay in money for the service you get. There is certain work of course that must be paid for in each. Clerk hire, rent of halls, printing, advertising, railroad fares a,nd hotel bills of speakers, have been considered necessary expenses up to a reasonable amount. ; -The doubtful point comes in em ploying paid workers and vote solic itors. Many men have not the gift for personal campaigning. They are a Uttlo stiff bv nature, and do not meet strangers easily. It has been the custom of many candidates of that type in the past, to secure representatives to do can vassing for -them, and pay them for their time. , Some very worthy men have thereby been introduced to the voters, and enabled to win elections 'where otherwise they would have been beaten by politicians witn keener head for the tricks of the game! ( But if the good candidate can hire a paid worker to go out for him, the unworthy candidate can do the, same thing and go him one better. When he pays his workers, it is not bo much compensation for their time, as pur. chase of their Influence. These moral distinctions shade closely into each other. You can hardly tell where fair compensation leaves off and the bribery begins. It would be a blessing to American politics if all payments of cash to po litical canvassers could be cut out. Some good men would thereby be hindered in presenting their case. Yet in the long run the worthy candidate would win on his merits. If a man deserves election, he should have friends enough who would do volun teer work for him. Political evolution has developed a type of man who might be called the "vote swinger." He is a fellow with a taste for politics, a gift of gab, and an ingratiating manner. Be keeps his ear to the ground all the year, knows the underlying movements, and is always dropping seeds of opin ion to be harvested later on. baloon keepers formerly used to be prominent as vote swingers. Any man who keeps any form of gossip center, or who is a "mixer" and min gles with many people, or who merely takes a keen interes tin politics, may sway the political opinions of, more or less people, and such influence may Ee exerted for good ends. The vote swinger poses as a good uiuzeit, lmeresiea in pontics for a good purpcse. But the opportunity is too tempting for those who have other motives. The man who ac. quires political influence, has in the past found that ihfiTpower is fre quently aaiaoie, oiten lor cash, or for considerations equally valuable?

Morrison was born in the latter part of November, 18G9. 1 v ' ?t 2. Morrison, the son of a life-long Republican, wentwith his father to the Republican Convention" in August, 1890 which was before he was '21 years old. -. ; -r - i . : . 3. That convention, recognizing the talent and. ability cpf young Morrison and that he would develop into - a r j great leader, anxious to tie him to the organization, made him a delegate at large, along with two other white ; men and two negroes. . - , " , ' ; ; t , 4. Before that convention adjourned, and as soon as the appointment' was made, Morrison declined the l honor (?) and notified his father that' it would be dangerous for the republicans to take control of the State' and ' that HE WOULD NEVER VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. 5. Immediately upon his return to Richmond County, in August, 1890. he joined ;f tic . Democratic party and stumped the county for the DEMOCRATIC TICKET and he wai still pnder 21 years ot age. , - 6. The election'occurred on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November," 18S0, but Morrison was not old enough to vote. However, he had contributed his talents and influence to the Democratic ticket. 7. Morrison was too young to vote in the election of 1890, but he had found his bearingshad cut loose from the party of his father, hnd thrown aside the tempting .1 onov .goffered him by the Republican party, and had -started upon his life long work as a fighting DEMOCRAT, to redeem and keep safe' the State of North Carolina. Within a few years he had converted his father and his record since that time has been one of constant party service and devotion. .. ' v , .i aii . A ' II. S. Bunn, clerk to board , 10.00 O.

These facts disclose the only POLITICAL SIN ever committed by Mr. Morrison. Do they justify this eleventh hour attack being made upon, him? In all fairness, DEMOCRATS OF EDGECOMBE, do you approve of it? . There was nothing to be said against Mr. Morrison during the twenty-five years of faithful and effective work which he gave to the Democratic party in 'the interest of other candidates; and there was very little to be said against him before the first' primary on June 5tla ; but now those who oppose him in ttje primary to be held on July 3rd would have the Democratic voters of North .Carolina believe him unworthy to be Governor of the State, and they have quit telling the people what a fine fellow Max Gardner is and are spending their time abusing ancUvillifying Cam Morrison. . THE SAME GAME HAS BEEN PLAYED BEFORE. IT ALWAYS, HAS LOST AND IT WILL LOSE ON JULY 3RD, NEXT. . ' ...... ' - : ..; -'5 ; As to MR. GARDNER politics or hs character, before the first primary. We have nothing to say now and we have had nothing to say in the past about his We intend to fight the campaign out just as we began it and just as we fought is We believe Mr. Gardner is a jiice fellow and some day, when the women get to vot ing, as he hopes they will, he may be Governor of the State ; BUT, in this year of grace 1920,' the voters of the State intend to reward Cameron Morrisonr "He is gainingdaily. He lead before in County and State. He will lead again oh July 3rd, and will be nominated by a safe majority. ; .. AND WHAT'S MORE, he will be nominated without MUD-SLINGING HIS OPPONENT.
