Carl L. Bailey For State Senator
Washington County citizens find delight in pre
senting one of her sons for a seat in the next legisla
ture as a Senator representing the second district in
the personal of Carl L. Bailey, who has for years
been active in the county’s affairs, serving as repre
sentative for one term, as judge of the recorder's court
for several terms, and who is now county attorney.
In all these positions he has served his people with
such diligence that they are willing to trust him to
serve them in a greater capacity.
The best testimony any man can offer always comes
from those who know him best. The Washington
County people know Carl Bailey. They trust him.
They recommend him to their fellow citizens through
out the seven counties of the district.
The problems of the next General Assembly will
be largely those centering around the problems of
taxation, and representatives who are familiar with
the needs of the section, and who are willing and
able to fight for our needs are essential if we are to
obtain what we hope from the next session of the
General Assembly in that respect. The people of the
county know that Carl Bailey has, in his position as
county attorney, necessarily learned the details of the
structure of our tax rate, and is bound to know what
is necessary to reduce it. Rural people, knowing that
Mr. Bailey has farming interests, as well as his law
practice, know that they will be safe in sending him
to represent them in the Senate of North Carolina.
There is another consideration which the people
of the county feel deserves attention. That is that
Washington County has not been accorded represen
tation in the State Senate since 1919, when the late
W. S. Davenport last was a member. For these rea
sons Washington County people urge the voters of the
Second District to cast their ballots on June 4 for
their own native son as one of the nominees.
Give Us Half of What Is Promised
If the office seekers do half what they are promis
ing, we are going to have the best government the
world has ever known. Some of them are even going
so far that they are going to give the wets liquor
while keeping the country dry for the prohibitionists.
Some of them are going to take all the taxes off and
pay the grocery bills of everybody with less than
$12,000.
Now, voters, remember that one of the weakest
things about pre-election promises is that they are
not, or at least they have not been heretofore, bind
ing contracts. So you had better have the candidates
give you their promises in writing, and signed by two
or more witnesses. You will need this testimony all
along through the coming years because the lines are
going to be pulled tighter than ever in both our state
and national legislative bodies. They are going to
be besieged by regiments of lobbyists to swing them
from the promises they are now making to the people
to special service of the fellows they are now de
nouncing.
Keep the record list. They forget.
Confidence Already Lost
Secretary Mills, the big bankers’ fiscal agent, says
people will lose confidence if the currency is inflated.
The honorable secretary seems to have overlooked
the fact that the people have already lost confidence,
and not only that, but they have lost their property—
all because Mr. Mills and his New York banker friends
have deflaed the money of the country.
Mr. Mills and his gang, consisting of a very few
folks in number, want their dollars each to be worth
many days of labor and many bushels of wheat
and corn. When they can do that, they know they
have power and they have confidence—kingly confi
dence—in their cash. On the other hand, men and
women and children are starving because their labor
and their products are worth so little.
Mr. Mills should know that the people have lost
confidence in the folks who are handling the money
system. What we need is a Congress, a President,
and a Cabinet that is bigger than the Xew York bank
ing system.
Hoover and the Tariff
Greenville Reflector.
President Hoover has reiterated his faith in Repub
lican high tariff principles in spite of the fact that
the world faces ruination because of the tariff walls
erected by the various countries.
The last two years have proved beyond doubt that
high tariffs are detrimental to every branch of indus
try and instead of improving business conditions, as
Republicans claim, literally drives it away. Other
nations have retaliated as a result of the American
tariff wall, and our own products are glutting our
markets because of the lack of foreign demand.
Trade between the various nations is absolutely
necessary to the welfare of the world at large, and
if the time comes when Democrats get a chance at
cutting down the tariff barrier it may well be assumed
that conditions will soon show signs of improvement.

To The Democratic Voters
Of Washington County
We, the undersigned citizens and voters of Washington County wish to
heartily endorse the candidacy of Carl L. Bailey, of Washington County, for
the office of Senator of the Second Senatorial District. We know him to be
eminently qualified to hold this office and to represent our irrteres'fs.'- Wfc 0
know the problems of the next General Assembly will be largely those ceh
tering around the problems of taxation, and that representatives who know
our problems and are willing and able to fight for our needs are essential if
we are to obtain what we hope from th e next General Assembly in that re
spect. We know that he has, in his position as County Attorney, necessar
ily learned the details of the structure of our tax rate, and is bound to know
what is necessary to reduce it. We know he is one of us, and that we will
be safe in sending him to the Senate of North Carolina.
The Second Senatorial District is composed of sevqa yooun^ps, ^frptpr
which two Senators are nominated and elected. This county has not been
accorded representation in that body since 1919, when thel&te W. S. Daven
port last was a member. For those reasons pefsonaTtb us ahd otfr jpfpsent
candidate, and from our county’s stan dpoint as having been deprived of rep
resentation, we wish to urge the voters of Washington County to cast their
ballots on June 4th for their own nati ve son as one of the nominees.

To the Thinking Democrats
of Washington County
Wfr take this means of calling to your attention the follow
ing facts concerning Mrs. Van B. Martin, Sr., Democratic can
didate for nomination of Register of Deeds of Washington
County.
That for the past 20 years, as the wife of Washington Coun
ty’s Democratic leader and best friend, the late Van B. Martin,
Sr., she has worked untiringly for the benefit of the Democratic
party.
That Mrs, Martin is remaining at her home trying to conduct
a dignified and fair campaign. She is not asking the Democratic
party to support her because of the fact that she is in heed of the
position; even though this may be true.
She is, however, asking for your- support because she feds
that with her age and experience, she is more capable of per
forming the duties of the office of Register-of Deeds and that she
should be given consideration for the work that she has done
for the Democratic party.
In view of the above facts, we earnestly solicit your support
and vote for Mrs. Martin and urge that you true DEMOCRATS
—THINK^-before casting your vote in, the primary June 4th.

to ruin the crop, if they get a chance.
Whether they get it or not*, depends pretty
much on you.
Weevils can’t hurt a crop much, once the bolls
are set. Because of the heavy infestation this
year, set your crop as early as you can.
Nothing takes the place of a Chilean Nitrate
side-dressing for making an early crop. There is
no way a little money could be better invested
now than for 100 pounds (200 pounds would be
better) of Chilean Nitrate to side-dress each acre
of your cotton.
Don’t fail- to specify Chilean Nitrate when
you see your dealer. That is just as important as
side-dressing itself.
