The Charlotte Observer says: The news
papers, and especially the Raleigh dailies,
are filled with the praises and biographical
sketches Of candidates By their friends.
This is well; otherwise some of the candi-
dates would never be heard Of It's better
to be known through the newspapers than
never to be known at all.
The above is commented on by the RaIei yh
O6serrer which paper says that the news
papers can do no more valuable service to
the State and their party than BY inform
ing the people of their best and most suita-
bic men. The Moore MdeD says:
I'VE are not among those who believe in
keeping the old war horses always ON the
race, but IN tro,ting out new ones, better
ones and those not broken down by old
prejudices, unpopular acts and already
beaten before the signal IS given. If
there are meritorious men who are not po
litically prominent, no. willing to blow their
own horns, too modest TO ash for official
honor, let the papers bring them forward,
and if found to be worthy We can soon make
them PROMINENT
