. CONSIDERATION OF LEADERS ALSO
-: v.. important ; r;r:r :
Nothing more clearly demonstrates
the fact that Republicanism is a living
- force in North Carolina than the indis
criminate and violent abuse which is
being hurled at the party by the. more
rabid element of the Democratic press.
But the truth is that such treatment
does the Republican party far .more
good than harm, for it shows to hon
est, thinking men that while the party
may not be perfect it is opposed by
forces "which ran defend . themselves
-only by charging the atmosphere with
hatred and Clouding the public vision
with the smoke of partisan abuse. All
we ask for is a thoughtful considera
tion of the publie issues now before the
people, and if our political enemies.can
have their way that is the last thing we
will ever get. A
While in no way; member of the
"rabid element,' of ' the Democratic
press,", the Journal cannot but think
v its esteemed contemporary, the Greens
boro News, from which the above edi-
, tonal comment was taken falls short of
t the mark, in its desire to support North
CarolinaTlepubUcanismin placing Hen
' oeratic criticism of its party n h'B
State, as called forth ; by T Democratic
"partisanism,. The fact la that Repot
licanisraas exemplified bythe' Roose-
, velt 'administration has many sympa?
. thizers. even more, admirers in North
Carolina among men who - vote for . the
. ?ita T1pmormti( ticket at elections. f
) Of course naUonal repnbhcanism, its
i issues and ' prmciple i we . a; part of
State republicanism. "'Some of these
issues;.; notably protective tariff, is
favorable to many prominent interests
in rsortn (jarouna. am wane, wiia.u-
sue, and perhaps other republican issue!
might secure a following, ; and so En
large the republican vote in this State,
the republican leadership is of such char
acter as to disgust any would be aympa
thizer of State republicanism, and anch a
voter is loai''.'V yri
It is in a leadership, the character of
iu man or men, be it political, com-
mercial or reugfooj, which U
essential to success and the gather
ing of a respectable and aolM following,
as are issues and principles,' and it is
this lamentable weakness of leadership
of North Carolina republicanism, which
prevents the party from gathering any
following.1 North Carolina RepubDcan
