Indications' are- pointing mightily towards President Wilson's re-election if ; the reports In. the rarious r non-political papers over the coun try are to be considered. A 'report Just published 'in the' current issue of The Literay Digest, a non-partisan weekly, which gives the sentiment from more than 3,000 communities : throughout the United States, shows that 1,7 7 1, communities are now in farbr of Ay iison. In every commun ity a marked growth in public senti ment in Mr. Wilson's favor is evi- dent -' I-- r That the drjfr Is steadily towards Wilson, is shown by the following re ports as given la The Literay Digest: MUUh report that in 1912 36 communities favored . Taft, seven Roosevelt and six Wilson. In 1916 , reports' favoring Hughes number 12 ' and Wilson 34. , .

TEX YEARS- Ten years ago last Tuesday the management took over The gazette and has been operating It uninter ruptedly since. It has been ten years of unceasing labor in an effort to jive the people of Gastonia and the coun ty a newspaper second to none In the . tate. We bare, not attained our ileal by any means. The Gazette is ; , and . I What we eioect It to be. We are not too bashful to say, however, that we believe -we have succeeded in - no small degree in accomplishing that wbeteunto we set our mark. Oar reward Is the knowledge that Toe Gazette stands high , to the estima tion of the people it serves and In the estimation of the people and the papers over the State who see It. Additional satisfaction is in the knowing that we' have done our best bo far as existing conditions would permit-to publish the very best pa per we possibly could, v Oh. yes. we've made mistakes. It Is a failing of the human race. We've gotten our share of the criticisms lot's of It undeserved. . Somebody whose pet schemes didn't get mucn publicity, somebody whose name didn't get In . because we are not om niscient and no one told it to the re porter, somebody-who well, taere have been several somebodies who have knocked and kicked but we have managed, to survive,' thanks be, and the paper is. on a more solid foundation than ever before It has been -our purpose to publish a clean, reliable, newspaper,' free from sensationalism one that would be of value to old and young, to the entire family. The success attained is indicated by the fact that The Ga zetto holds a place In the Gaston county family that no other local pa- pei does. . . . 1 . Hundreds of times in the past ten years the publishers have been asked why Gastonia' has not a daily. To one uninformed as to .the local condi tions it would seem that Gastonta is targe enough to support a dally: To one who has studied the situation and knows thing's as they really are there is no mystery about it ,To is sue a dally' paper that would be a credit to the town and that would largely take the place of other Mate dallies would cost many thousands of dollars annually, Old established State, dallies reach. Gastonia , before breakfast in the morning and before supper in the evening. Their wide State circulation makes it' possible 1 for them to take a pretty full press service, which, is expensive. ' These "State" dailies as they are designat ed could not survive on the support of their home towns alone. - Gastonia has a large "floating pop ulation whlcn is not interested in a daily paper. , Shame to say, there are also many people, grown ,ups, wno cannot read nor write. To them a daily paper is of no 'more use than would be one of the Egyptian pyra mids ' " At the present unprecedented price of news print paper now almost prohibitive those - dailies whlcn have been In operation for years and are supposedly on solid foundation are finding It a desperate game to stay above the tide. Numbers or small dailies over this State and South Carolina, as we are most relia bly informed., are facing the end. The trouble with most of them is tne same trouble that operates against the .establishment of a ' daily here, namely: There is not a largg enougn field for them. Most of the dailies in towns of this size are prematurely born and prematurely buried. The Gazette could have established some sort of a dally a long time ago, as good perhaps as some that we see; but it would not have been a credit to Gastonia. , , The advertisers are the people who support the newspapers, not the sub scriber. If It were not for the adver tising the subscriber would probably have to pay ten times as much' for his newspaper as he does today. The subscription price 4s nominal. When the time comes and when conditions are such that ' Gastonia will support a daily paper The Ga zette will be ready to undertake It. We know that it Is not now ready. Somebody may think otherwise. That is their privilege. What we really started out to say was simply that the present mana gers have heen at the helm ten years and that - The .Gazette Is ambling along at a very nice pace, thank you. Beg pardon for taking so much of your time talking shop. Just a final word to say "thank you" to our many hundreds of friends over the county who have stood loyally by the paper in season and out. . Your friendship and inter est Is greatly appreciated. The pub lishers haven't' a kick in the world. We're happy that we're living, hap py that we're living in Gastonia, hap py that we have friends, happy that the future looks' good to us. We're looking forward to the ; next ten years with keen anticipation Tor an unprecedented growth for Gastonia and The Gazette. Will Preach at St Marks. I y r. ..... Rev. Edgar N. Le Blanc, of Reids- ville, will come to Gastonia tomor row tn response to a call that has n cently been issued to him by the con gregation 01 St Marks Episcopal church. He has not as yet accepted the call but will hold services and preach Sunday at both the morning and evening hours. Since Rev. G. H. Harrison s resignation this church has been without a rector.

Mr. Lubin authorized an in terview of 4.000 words in which he gave his opinion of those acts of the Wilson administration which directly affect the farmer. This has been fur nished without cost to every leading farm paper in the United States. If the farmer does not read it In . his farm paper It will probably be because the editor does not care to use his columns for discussion .of economic question and government policies that vitally affect the farmer. Mr. Lubin said: "In the application of business methods of distribution America, until the present administra tion, was about 150 years behind Ger many and several decades behind the' rest of Europe. And vet m the very thing in which America is backward she should lead the world. She does not because a clique of special Inter ests dictated public opinion and con trolled legislation through the bosses or tne Republican party. so cleverly have they worked that the average man is hypnotized, his critical' facul ties dulled. "President Wilson Is neither fooled nor led by this crowd.' He Is tireless, patient, farseeing. He has a historic sense of the past sympathetic sense of the present and a prophetically spiritual sense of the future. While his head is above the clouds, his feet are always un the earth.

Mangum think it due him that the public be advised of the fact that he was urged by quite a number of the members of the Democratic county executive com mittee to stand for the nomipation for the State Senate when it became known that Capt. A. L. Bulwlnkle was declared ineligible and had re signed. Mr. Mangum was a candi date for this nomination in the prim ary and a large number of his friends desired that he be honored with this position. However, he declined from the first to stand for the nomination, though strongly urged to do so by a number - of the leading Democratic politicians of the county. Not oly so but at the meeting of the executive committee he placed In nomination Mr. R. R. Ray, who Is the candidate now for that office, and in doing so made a most excellent speech In be half of a united and harmonious1 party. In justice to Mr. Mangum. many of 'whose friends have been at I a loss to understand why he was not tendered this nomination. The Gazette is glad to make this statement. Join the Ubrarv.
