there appeared an editorial headed
The Governor and his Help" 1t eX-
posed the scheme OF the North Carroll
ma "overseer" or j. Pierpont Morgan
and the Rothschilds to capture the
next legislature of this state, and also
called attention to the politicians and
newspapers that were helping the
"overseer" in various and diverse ways
to accomplish this result. OF course,
there has been quite howl raised by
the "heIp" referred to. This was to be
expected, of course.
In referring TO the News and Obser-
yer as one of the papers that was help
ing the "overseer," we stated that we
did not know whether the editor of
that paper was a party to the scheme,
or whether or not he had been fooled
or coerced into making his paper say

that paper what it could say in reply.
But after waiting several days (frOm

dollars year, the stopping of the free
pass iniquity and corporation lobby,
the preventing of foreign corporations
doing business in the State from re-
moving cases to Federal courts and
, having the wheels OF the State govern
merit checked and tied by injunctiOns
from Federal corporation judges, ETC..
and in attempting to sidetrack these
great questions with the old negro

feet that Col. Andrews, the North Car
