The address Of the Democrats
State Executive Committee, pub
llshed on the fourth page, should
meet the approval of not only
every man in North Carolina who
claims to be a Democrat, but OF
all who favor honest, clean gov.
eminent by white men. The ROB
EsoNIAN endorses it fully anG
cheerfully. Nothing has been left
unsaid that could have been said
and there is not word too much
in it.
We received the first copy of the
Raleigh Morning Post, which ap-
peared last Wednesday. Greek O.
Andrews is president of the COM
pany publishing it, and R. NJ.
Furman, former State Auditor, is
editor. The names of these gen.
tlemen is evidence of the fact that
it is we'll managed and will be a
gatherer of news, and is a guaran-
tee of its Democracy. The copy
received was SO interesting that
others have been watchedffor ever
since. The RoBEsoSIAN wants
more of the same sort.
