-I'Vn .,n I VOLUME NUMBE3 SIXTEEN KENANSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA "FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29th, 1948 No. 44 I T 11 1 II K By: TORQUEMADA "t I THINK that with the General Election day at hand it Is time for fie voters of North Carolina, as ell as the entire South, both Dem ' ocrats and Republicans, to settle '.'down and five serious and careful thought to the question as to liow 4hey will cast their ballots. Consld ' r ALL of the issues involved and " pot be blinded by -fanatical opposi tion to one or two. Scan with calm ness, with reason and with logic the claims and promises of the Re publicans, the Dlxlecrats and the K Wallace-rats and , then give equal -consideration to the RECORD of the Democratic Party. A vote for we Dlxlecrats or the Wallace-rats ; is nothing, more nor less, than a vote for the Republican Party. Un- " der a Republican administration - the South tan hope for nothing h more than economic slavery. Are we to vote ourselves back into the Hoover carts, the soup lines, six . cent cotton and nine cent tobacco? :. GOD FORBID! , ! I THINK that Mr. TJewev is sin. i. 'cere in his desire to be president; . that he is sincere in his belief that ' he would be good president for the Repub.kan Party, which has been in the past, is now, and will be in the future, the party ot big . businesses and the Tycoons of Fi- . nance. Should he be elected Tyche, fickle Goddess of fortune, will - abandon the agricultural south and fly to the gilded Hall3 of Finance to bestow her favors upon its glutonous overlords. . . s i THINK that the Dlxlecrats and - the Wallace-rats are but festering Sores on the body politic, wmcn time and ignominious defeat will naiuiw rhv are headed by men 1 whose reason , has been dethroned ' , by bitterness and hatred. Men who, Mifuteil hv a oasaionate hatred of . . ha it A 1tat thslr IWF8DeCt- ive. The Dlxlecrats seek-to defeat! sMr. Truman because el His stand on Civil Rights and are willing to rtft th Democratic Party to gain ' this end. If Mr; Dewey is elected with him. a Reoublican Cong ress - it is doubly certain inat , Civil Rights legislation will be en acted by the list Congress. If Mr. - Truman is defeated we lose every : thing and gain absolutely nothing. . I THINK than any North Caro linian who will study the following figures will find it Impossible for him or her to vote for anyone other than Mr. Truman and the whole , Democratic ticket: In 1932 factory products were valued at 1,02A,000.000; now they j .f 9ono.OAa.ooo.

Next Tuesday is national election tlay. We in North Carolina and, the South surely under stand the principles of the Democratic Party. The South is the birthplace ofthis party and of liberalism. Washington, Jefferson and, Jackson were all Southerners. Franklin D. Roosevelt, al though a Yankee by birth, and Governor of the State of New York, adopted the SoutB for his new home and set up the Warm Springs Foun dation for the care of Polio patients. He; m? Ms wisdom and foresight, agreed for Harry S. Tru man to become vice-president of the United States. At that: time, surely, he realized that Truman might become president. Let's not throw away our heritage and go back to 1928. ' Let's go to the polls Tuesday and vote the straight Democratic ticket. J. R. GRADY Let's Hot Forget- Judge Henry L.
