Lei's Give Mac u Hearing
Newspapers that are ringing
the death knell of the McAdoo
candidacy, it seems to The Ad
vance, are a bit hasty, to say the
least.
The Advance has been for Mc
Adoo first, last and all the time ;
but this newspaper would not
continue to favor his candidacy
should it find that ho had ac
cepted a fee from oil interests
tendered him because of his
supposed influence with the ad
ministration with which he had
been identified.
On the other hand we are not
disposed to turn thumbs down
on the McAdoo candidacy until
Mr. McAdoo himself has been
heard from.
Our attitude is identical with
that of otfier friends of Mr. Mc
Adoo whom Mr. Lawrence, in
his Wednesday dispatch, rep
resented as not willing to "quit
him because of an unverified
statement of a man who desert
ed the Democratic party in 1920
and contributed to the Republi
can campaign fund and whose
leases have been annuled large
ly through the efforts of Demo
cratic members of the United
States Senate."
More Good Work
Credit the Elizabeth City
Chamber of Commerce with
another good piece of work.
Most of us had given up the
idea of anything better than a
nine-foot road through Camden
County and were asking onlv
that paving on the project be
not longer delayed.
But this man Job, who is sec
retary of the Elizabeth City
Chamber of Commerce, is cer
tainly a persistent cuss. And,
as a result of his persistence
and perseverance, Camden is
again within sight of a 16-foot
highway.
Of course if Camden wants
to gum things up by prolonging
the controversy as to the route
of the highway, it can probably
do so.
But that won't be Mr. Job's
fault.
On a I'crmunriit Bania
The Advance is pleased to an
nounce that the staff of special
correspondents that have been
serving this newspaper for the
last two weeks are to be re
tained on a permanent basis.
* In addition to being an Asso
ciated Press newspaper, in oth
er words, The Advance is now
a Consolidated Press newspaper
as well.
V "By thus supplementing your
Associated Press report," writes
the business manager of thn
Consolidated Press, "you are
giving the people of Elizabeth
City n paper the like of which
few, if any, communities of sim
ilar size in the United States
can boast. I trust that it is ap
preciated and that you are get
ting deserved returns in busi
ness and circulation."
Why Not Sooner?
The Advance doesn't like to
butt in on a Camden controver
sy with which it has no concern,
but it feels sure that the only
thing that tho?e who seek to
change the route favored by the
State's engineers can do is to de
lay action.
Sooner or later the road will
be built by the route favored by
the engineers.
Why not sooner and have
done with controversy?
