WING OBJECTIONS TO MIR Rp,oo
The objections of the Federal leader,
ton of Mr.. Bragg as Governor have hem s sse
down to about four, as follows: NARROWED
LIST. They say he is opposed to internal in
ments. This charge is met at once bv NJ D. I"0Is
the declaration that he is in favor Of an, ssT
schemes of improvement, whether of rro, SNN%'O@
er plank roads or railroads; and that h. y. "IN'
advisable to extend the North Caron. pa s1~F
ward to Beaufort and westward to tbo
line. He is for going in this matter inst 'Ss
means and resources of the State will iustf. ~s
ne argues to show, and he does show, that The P"'
olution OF the Democratic Convention is fnl., w,
more explicit on the subject than the Whan au
olution. NeS
So this objection is disposed Of
I'd. They say that, when member of tbo H..
lature of 1928, he made sundry reports ,,,i@.
good measures and sundfy reports of bad ono. ms
answer is, that Mr.. Bragg was Chairman of fl. T.
dietary Committee; that these measures wer. d.S,
ed upon in Committee, by majority thereof a.,
these DIRECTORS do not know but that, as npmb,.
of the Committee, he voted for the measures tb.r
approve and against those which they condemn. H..
as Chairman of the Committee, he had M orto,
but reported just as majority of the Committee A.
rected as it was his duty to do and that he is ind
vidualy responsible only for what he said in deht.
in the House and for his votes as recorded in n.
journals
So this objection is disposed Of
Sd. They say he is lawyer, and therefore Oupbt
not to be elected. The answer is, that LAWYERS IN
this free country, are much entitled to political
promotion as others; that those who make this Oh.
lection are either themselves lawyers, or the intimate
friends and supporters of lawyers for places honor
and public trust; that it does not follow because,
man happens to be farmer, or printer, Or school.
master, or bricklayer, that he is necessarily quail
fled to be a Governor; that Mr. Bragg was nOmns.
ted Democrat and as citizen, and not as law.
yer, and he will be voted for accordingly: that
it is strange that mans learning IN the gerry lao
which he will be required as Governor to execute,
should be urged as an objection against him; and
that the very men who make this objection to Mr.
Bragg have heretofore aided to elect as Governor
Messrs. Morehead, Graham, Manly, and Kerr
all lawyers! But these Federal leaders know
how to stoop to conqner." They stopped Obs
log-cabin men and hard -cideritcs in 1910 and now,
for effect, and to make a show of respect for the
farmers which they do not entertain, they take upa
farmer as their candidate for Governor. But the
veil is too thin-eyery body sees through it
So this objection is disposed Of

he is therefore an aristocrat and has Virginia sym
pathies. The answer is, that the same objection Ws
urged to Gov. Reid, who has made the best Governor
the State had that Gen. Dockery lives quite as
near the South Carolina line as Mr.. Bragg does the
Virginia line that while the latter has no undue
with Virginia, orsany other State, to the
prejudice OF neglect of his own, Gen. Dockery syn
pathises with the enemies of South Carolina ana
declared, in one of his campaigns orCongreSS tAH
he would vote men and money, in the last resort,
reduce that State and his own State into su9echOn
to Federal rule; that Mr.. Bragg is gentleman and
