WILL THE MEs,kNaER ANSWER

The public would like to know why
the Wilmington Messenger refused to
publish Judge Avery's letter on the
political situation. Judge Avery de-
clared strongly in favor of white gu
premacy, but he warned the peo-
pie not to allow the railroads and
monOpolies to capture the next Leg
islature by permitting the enemies
of the people to mislead them
behind that seductive plea" Did the
Messenger feel that it was hit, and is
this why it refused to publish the let
ter when requested to do SO? We sup
pose the Messenger, if forced to an
swer, would give as les excuse that it
did not have the space. But we suggest
that Judge Avery's letter could have
been published in the same space that
the Wilmington Messenger has given
to copying editorials from a negro
paper that is helping the Messenger to
make the "nigger" the issue il the next
campaign in the interest of the rail
roa"s. Does the Messenger think it
more important to the welfare Of the
State to give its readers the opinions
Of an vuscure negro editor or to
give its readers the opinions of
a strong, able and forceful man like
Judge Avery? Again, we ask, why
did the Messenger refuse to publish

oily subsidized newspaper (Which pre-
tended to support Bryan. but at heart

ginning to move sideways and ditch

along this line all over the country.

II this treachery (Which has cost the
