THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1919C AM APPEAL To the Democratic Voters of the Ninth District to Nominate J. D. McCall Gastonia Daily Gazette THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1919. RALEIGH LETTER "The militant democracy of Mecklenburg county, represent ing more than 6,000 stalwart Democrats, who have answered the demands of its party at all times, met in the Mecklenburg County Courthouse on November 15 and unanimously selected one of her ablest sons, Johnston D. McCall, as their representa tive, and the standard bearer of the Democrats of Mecklenburg for the Congressional Democratic nomination. "Mecklenburg County confidently expects her sister coun ties, representing the Democratic party, and all good citizens who believe in the principles of democracy and good govern ment to rally and support her nominee. "It is a matter of history that Mecklenburg has not had a representative in Congress in the last 25 years, but during all this time has patriotically and loyally and gladly stood by and helped every sister county with their favored sons and staunchly delivered the necessary vote to save the district. "We particularly call upon Cleveland County and Shelby 7 'to observe the Golden Rule and do for Mecklenburg what Meck lenburg has done for her, and her favored 40h. For several terms Cleveland presented to the Democratic convention the honorable James L. Webb for solicitor, and Mecklenburg gave her endorsement. For a number of terms Mecklenburg has supported this same son of Cleveland for the honorable position oi judge of the Superior Court and has done it gladly. "It was the privilege of Mecklenburg to aid Cleveland and Shelby in nominating and electing another of Cleveland hon ored sons, Mr. B. F. Dixon, to the high office of State Auditor. "We would again remind Shelby that when she wanted to honor another of her distinguished sons, the Honorable O. Max Gardner, to the high office of Lieutenant Governor, htr sister city and the grand old county of Mecklenburg stood by and neipeu roil up a great majority. "We would again call Shelby's attention to the fact that when the Honorable Clyde Hoey sought the nfiice of Assistant United States District Attorney, hj c.i. ns of u;r v a.n'.y un selfishly and heartily endorsed his candidacy and aided him to success. "And last but not least, when Shelby earnestly desired to 1 A 1 l 11 A. A 1 iL i t 1 ! 1 7 . . L I. IT ! Iionor inai gaiiam gentleman, inai s,k.muiu in'm'crai, me iin K. Y. Webb, to a seat in Congress, that ie was Mecklenburg, even at the expense of self-sacrifice and self-denial to her own sons, gave Shelby the necessary vote to enable them to achieve their heart's desire. We would further remind Shelby that for the last eighteen years Or more the unterrified Democracy of Mecklenburg County, together with her sister counties in the District, has kept her favored son in Congress and it is a fact, known and read of all men, that for three different times the Democracy of the District would have gone down in defeat had it not been for the reinforcements and reserves furnished by Mecklenburg. "Now, Shelby, as a unit in the Ninth Congressional Dis trict, has the eminent distinction of having the following sons in office, State and Federal: Judge E. Y. Webb, Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, holding Federal offices; Hon. James L. Webb and Gov. O. Max Gardner, holding State offices. "By every token of fair play, by every sense of justice, and by every element of gratitude we ask Shelby and demand of her and her citizens that they reciprocate, anil do for Meck lenburg and her favored son, J. D. McCall, what we have done for her. "For the same reason that Hon. W. R. Council and the grand old county of Catawba has deferred to Mecklenburg, we ask Shelby and the Hon. Clyde Hoey to follow their example. "We furtner appeal to our sister counties of the District to stand by the Democracy of Mecklenburg and Mecklenburg's candidate, and help us elect our candidate. "The Democracy of the District will honor itself in nomi nating and electing the Hon. J. D. McCall. For ten years he was the chairman of the Democratic party of Mecklenburg, and led to victory the hosts of Democracy in an hour that tried men's souls, and required the hghest order of leadership and ex ecutive ability. Mr. McCall was honored by the citizens of Charlotte to the position of its chief executive. "McCall has been one of the exponents of the State in every movement made for the betterment of North Carolina's moral, educational, industrial and material uplift, and for thirty years or more has fought the battles of Democracy. "This is an hour in the life of the nation that calls for strong men. McCall is one hundred per cent American, stands with both feet on the Constitution, guards jealously the flag, and the fundamental principles which it represents." CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE '!! M. I).

Stowe, ehnont. ef ore Buying A Wagon nowadays, you will do well to investigate the kinds of wood used in the gears and wheels. On account of the scarcity and high price of oak and hickory, many manufacturers are substi tuting birch, maple and elm. You will run no risk on that score if you buy an IP Avery Wagon for we guarantee that no other woods than seasoned oak and hickory are used in the gears and wheels. The felloes are riveted on both sides of every spoke. The ironing is substantial throughout. All gears are clipped not bolted. The Avery is a light-running wagon because the skeins have just the right pitch and gather to keep the wheels from crowding over against the shoulder of the skein on the inside or the skein nut on the outside. Come in and look this wagon over from pole tip to tail board. GASTONIA HARDWARE CO. GASTONIA, N. C.
