Charlotte Observer For Mebane.
On April 10th The Observer says ed
He has demonstrated his superior |
fitness for lt-his administration OF the |
Office has been unexceptiOnable. He |
enters the Democratic Convention un-
der the rules prescribed for the gov
ernment OF the party. His nomination
would be fine stroke of politics. 1t
would be noticed that the charge Of
proscripiiveness against the Democrat
ic party is false, but that. on the con-
trary, it maintains the open door poll
cy and that it's honors are within the
reach of capable and worthy men with
out reference to what their politics
were fifteen or twenty years ago or
what political views their fathers held
AT this moment aud in this matter the
party has an opportunity to make .
record which would rebound to its
benefit, while it did the best thing it
could possibly do for the educational
interest of the State"
The Mt. Airy correspondent in the
Charlotte Observer Of April 10th says !:
"His entire official career for the
past three and half years has been
of lofty ideal and he has succeededin
raising the Office above the plane Of
politics, as few men have ever done.
Quite, modest and unassuming, he is
an indefatigable worker, and he has
accomplished work which can scarce-
ly be estimated. Mr.. Mebane has many
| warm friends and admirers, irrespec-
tive of political affiliations, in this
county. who are anxious to see him
re elected to the Gffice which he has 80
ably and acceptably filled during. his
incumbency. He has demonstrated the
fact that the cause of education is far
greater and more important than any
political party and that the greatest
good can b accomplished only when
all political elements are eliminated
