Raleigh Grows Up
(An Editorial)
Tuesday’s election should be gratifying to every one of the
citizens who want to see Raleigh go forward. We are proud of the
fact that such a large number turned out. Thirteen-thousand
four-hundred, and thirty-four voters went to the polls and voiced
their sentiment.
Aside from the interest in the city’s welfare, it showed that
organization can do and we considered this an additional credit
to its growth and development It showed that the seven men,
Enloe, Coffey, Reid, Tomilson, McLaurin, Hoover and Winters
have the respect of the city and that they are expected to run the
city without respect to any particular person or persons, but with
an eye singled toward what is good for everyone.

snowed that his workers and back

6:30 a m . telephone' negan to ring
and voters were asked to get to the
polls and vote for Winters If al'o

will do
Cnntrary t© what some pee
pie said about single Minting,
the results show that the elect
ed men ran almost proportion
ately in all the voting planes
in the rity. In many of the so
called white prerlnrts Winters
ran welt and rlearly established
the fact that he -was the choice
of many for a fair distribution
of the governing policy of the
state capital.
He conducts a well-organized real
estate business at 607 F Martin
Street, where his family has lived
since 18.67. He is a graduate of
