WHY PAMLlC0 IS FOR GLENN.
Hon. w. r. Caho, Editor Of the Bay.
boro Sentinel, Gives Some Reasons
Why the People Of Ills County Favor
the Forsythe Han for Governor.

There are possibly many reasons
why some Of our people are for Bob
Glenn for Governor and there may
be some, reasons why some OF our
people might be for some of the other
candidates-Stedman and Davidson,
Turner, Cunningham and others. The
chief reason why Pamlico is for Bob
Glenn is purely q political reason,
one that touches q tender chord in
the heart of every loyal and true
Democrat and one that no one can
say is not manly, is not just, is not
honorable. The Democracy of Pam
lico county has ever had a fight
against Republicans since it first be-
came a county.
The territory first composing Pam
lico county was taken from Craven
county, a Republican county of large
maiorities, and the people knew their
sufferings as well as their mortifica-
tions under Republican rule. The
territory, white in Craven county, had
been casting a small majority. When
the county was formed the people
were determined to throw Off the
yoke of Republicanism and come out
under the banner of Democracy This
they did in the first election by a
small majority, save and except the
office of sheriff 1t took hard and un-
selfish work to do this. So close were
majOrities that at every election it
required hard work to keep the
county in the Democratic column.
This soon became recognized by the
State Executive Committee and when
they were appealed to to send us
good Democratic speakers they did
it. Vance, Ransom, Jarvis, Merri
man, Glenn, Roberts and Others were
called for and they came and by their
aid and good advice the county was
, kept in the Democratic column until
q split came in the party, and by
Fusion the Democratic banner was
stricken down and for four years the
Republican or Fusionist banner
waved in triumph over this land o
the fair and home of the brave.
During these dark hours for the
Democratic party the leaders of the
party called for Bob Glenn to come
| to their aid and rescue them, that
the Democratic banner might agaiT
float in the breezes over the people
Did he answer the call? He did, twice
and he did hard and earnest an(
faithful work for the Democrat,
party and did it in a mild and con
servative manner, so much SO tina
the seeds sown by him fell upon goot
ground and bore good fruit. This i
the reason why the Democrats O
Pamlico county are for Bob Glenn
There are doubtless many other rea
sons why, but is it not a sufficien
reason for every true and loyal Dem
ocrat to be for Bob Glenn? Coul'
any Democrat in this county oppos
him after the faithful service he ha
rendered to them in the hour of thei
need and peril?
Could any Democrat elsewhere thai
in Pamlico county ask the Democrat
of Pamlico county to do less thai
to give Bob Glenn their support
And if, perchance, some DemOcra
might ask them to go against Glen
and they should yield to him, woul
not he look forever upon them wit
distrust and misgiving, havin
proved faithIess once? The oil
maxim, ''Falsum in uno, Falsum j
omnibus would forever sollo'
them.
Now, Democrats of PamiicO county
Bob Glenn has been faithful to yO
in your hour of need. For the SAX
of your own honor do not desert hiI
in his hour Of need. He responded t
your call when you needed his servic'
Now, when he needs yours, let you
answer be yea, brother, thou has
been faithful in a few things, we wi
make the ruler over many. Yea,
our vote can do SO, we will name th'
next Governor of North Carolina.
