Tuesday night the entire slate
of Republican Party nominees for
state and district offices visited
Kinston and made the saime mis
take that Democratic Guberna
torial Candidate Terry Sanford
made ip June.
They fed. the multitudes before
talking to them.
With their bellies full of free
food a good half of the crowd that
turned up at Grainger Stadium for
the biggest GOP shindig of the
century went home, or somewhere.
They were not on hand when the
“speechifying” got underway.
Heeded hy GOP Gubernatorial
NAmdnee Robert Gavin the Repub
lican hopefuls spent most of their
oratory explaining their conserve
cratic Party platform. Lake in a
Democratic Party rally last week
in Williamston got no nearer the
present Democratic standard bear
ers than Woodrow Wilson and J. C.
B. Ehringhaus.
, Gavin repeated that no state em
ployees have anything to fear from
his election, and be promised a
gain to stop the “shake down” of
state workers that is admittedly
practiced by the present Demo
cratic regime.
This was Gavin’s third formal
appearance in Lenoir County since
the battle began to remove the
Democrats from the Executive
Mansion in Raleigh.
The lavishness of the GOP atten
tion tp Lenoir County has frighten
ed local'Democrats to the extent
that they have spent a few hun
dred dollars in the Kinston Daily
Free Press with advertising that
attempts to 'remind the “faithful"
"'i . r'r'i v1',’
of how good the present adminis
tration has been to Lenoir County
insofar as appointments are con
cerned. No mention of Highway
funds.
The Democrats are also giving
a free barbecue and fish stew Fri
day night back, of the court house
—which indicates that they don’t
expect many people to show up
for the space is limited.
And the Democrats are trying
to figure out a way to talk to the
freeloaders before they feed them.
If they succeed in this noble ef
fort a great' break-through will
have been made in practical poli
tics.
Who knows whait a voter may do,
or not do if he is forced to listen
to political speakers?
Some cynic has suggested that
the worst thing that could happen
to a politician would be for the
public to really listen to b» /
