Strong for McLcan
Santford Martin, editor of
the Winston-Salem Journal,
whom some folks in the Albe
marle may remember as having
spoken in this section in the in
terest of war savings when he
was private secretary to Gover
nor Bickett during the World
War, is strong for McLean.
From the editorial page of a
recent issue of the Journal, wc
quote:
Citizens of WInslon-Salem and
Forsyth County who heard Hon. A.
W. McLean, candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor of
North Carolina, must have been
deeply Impressed, not only with tin*
speech but also with (lie man behind
the speech. The State Is fortunate
to have men of Mr. McLenn's type
who are willing to take the lead in
politics.
Somehow it is impossible to think
of politics as a "dirty name" when
in the presence of such a man as A.
W. McLean. Whether one is for
what he advocates or not, whether
ono is supporting him or his oppo
nent in this campaign, all who see
and hear McLean go away feeling in '
their heart of hearts, that here is a
clean, upright, patriotic, deeply sin
cere, absolutely honest, and earnest
champion of those principles he con
ceives to be for the beet Interest of
his fellow citizens.
Not once in his speech does Mr.
McLean indulge in personalities or
abuse of his opponent. He tells the
people of North Carolina what he
stands for and why and leaves it for
them to decide whether or not they
want a man who believes as he be
lieves to serve as their chief execu
tive for the next four years.
The Journal does not believe that
the history of North Carolina reveals
a cleaner, more Intelligent campaign
for high public office than that now
being waged by A. W. McLean. His
friends are certain that It is proving
about the most winning campaign
ever conducted in this common
wealth and do not hesitate to predict
for him the largest majority ever
given a candidate for Governor In a
State primary.
But whether he achieves such a
victory or not. The Journal is sure
that he Is rendering a distinct service
to the citizenship of the State by his
Instructive addresses on State affairs
and Is making at the same time a
distinct and, what ought to be. last
ing contribution to the politics of the
commonwealth. For he Is showing
all men everywhere that It is possible
to run for public office and at the
same time keep his hands clean of
all dirt and sllrne, live above the fog
of partisan nnd personal blttorne*x
and Htand four-square to all the
Winds that blow on every vital Issue
row confronting the citizenship of
North Carolina.
If McLean does win. his victory
will be an outstanding, convincing
demonstration of the fact that It Is
no longer necessary to the highest
success In politics In this State to lie
a trimmer on any question or to
make the welkin ring with high
sounding phrases, extravagant prom
ises or vindictive abuse and ridicule
of those who do not look at vital Is
aues exactly as he views them. And
whatever else a victory for him may
mean. It will assuredly mean victory
for a political campaign pitched on
the highest possible plane, designed
to appeal to the Intelligence, calm I
judgment and conscience of the elec
torate rather than to Ignorance, prej
udice and emotions.
"Supposf you knew that only
.one year of life remained to
you, what would you do?" quer
ies the News and Observer.
Don 't see, even at that, how we
could do any more than we are
trying to do now, neighbor.
i?T?nK
Favors To Young Heiress
Result In Strong Protest
Professional filiauffeurs Bitter and General Puldic Sureastie
Over Attempted llii-hup of Arrests of .Miss Aby
ltockef filer in New York for Speeding
ny ROBERT T. 8MAIX
(C??jrrifht. 1921. By Th? Ad*?i??)
N?*w York. May 29 ? Something
closely akin to real class hatred has
n engendered among a large part
of New York's population over the'
xceptional favors shown to Mitts
Aliby Rockefeller, 21-year-old daugh
ter of John IJ. Rockefeller. Jr.. when
she was twice arrested on Riverside
Drive for speeding in her automobile.
This hatred is reflected in litters
which have reached Mayor Hylan
and other city officials literally by
the hundreds. For the most part
the letters contain bitterly cynical
remarks about the harsh treatment
meted out to the poor man or woman
while the granddaughter of the oil
king, who for long was regarded as
the richest man In all the world, is
permitted to go scot free and vir
tually with the apologies of the court
and the police for ever having dared
to hale Iter within hearing distance
of a t? 'tuple of supposed justice.
The professional chauffeurs of the
city an- the worst of the protestants.
They have been getting rather much
of a raw deal lately by being pulled
up for the slightest Infractions of the
traffic rules and once in the traffic
court no excuse Is accepted" and no
leniency shown for a first offense.
These men who earn their living by
driving were amazed at the conduct
of the court officials in Miss Rocke
feller's case, for not only were her
arrests hushed up. but the papers
were removed from the usual flies
and every effort mad* to shield the
pretty young heiress of the Standard
Oil millions from the slightest pub
licity.
Apparently, however, the kind
nesses shown to Miss Rockefeller
have turned out to be gross blund
ers. All of the intended good coun
sel in the case has proved extremely
ill-advised. If Miss Rockefeller had
been fined for her two offenses
llnst the laws. Instead of having
sentence suspended after she had en-'
tered a plea of guilty to each offense,
the'Incidents would have flared up
for a day In the public mind nnd
been forgotten. There would have
been a feeling of satisfaction among
all classes of the people that here
was u case of one of the very rich
est young women In the world being
treated exactly like any other person
picked up by the motorcycle squad.
Miss Rockefeller may have received
what, she considered undesirable 1
publicity, but In the end she would'
have been a heroine among her!
friends and a Fhtning example of ev-j
en-handed justice to all the city.
As it is, the Standard Oil heiress,
is receiving far greater publicity j
than even the worst aspects of her J
case seem to deserve and her treat
ment at the hands of the police nnd
the city magistrates is being made a
cause celebro of which the last will
not be heard for many a long moon.
Miss Rockefeller had no great desire
to escape being flned. Certainly not
from a strictly monetary point of
view. She was misled Into the be
lief that she might escape publicity.
Instead she has been projected Into
the spotlight of pit^fess publicity.
Her treatment fs being officially
Investigated by the city. Mayor Hy
lan was hound to order such a move
In view of the temper of the letters'
he received. He has sought to j
scotch a further display of feeling by J
endeavoring to show that no matter i
how bewildered one city magistrate
and a few police officials may have j
become when they discovered they?
had a Rockefeller In the meshes of
the law, the scheme of justice in the
city at large Is sound and beyond j
reproach.
It was Indicated today that Miss 1
Rockefeller will be asked to appear :
at the city's Investigation. The pa-1
pers in her case, discovered after an
oiTicial search, show on their face
that the heiress actually appeared in
court and answered various ques
tions as to her pedigree. Some court
attendants say she did nothing of the
sort. Miss I(ock<*f?'llor cannot be
forced to appear as a witness at the
investigation, but efforts will be
made to persuade her to do so. Fur
thermore, nn effort will be made to
fix some blame in the handling of
her cast'.
Miss Rockefeller's first offense,
was a speed of SIS miles an hour on
the drive. The second time she war.
picked up the speedometer reading
J was 2ft miles an hour. The legal
limit is 15.
In one of the papers In her case
where she was askrd if she could
state any reason in exculpation of
her -offense, Miss Rockefeller Is said
to have started to write "I am?"
and then thinking better of It,
scratched a pen through the words
and made no answer at all.
