Why should not the Republican
party have high-class morning
daily newspaper? The rank ia fiji
of the party want such a paper ant
would support it. There is also I
very large independent vote II
North Carolina which would be GLAD
to take and read such a newspaper
There are also thousands of broad
minded, liberal Democrats who
want to know both sides, and would
be glad to see such q newspaper es-
tablished and who would subscribe
for and read 1t.
North Carolina has great natural
resources, and can and should be-
come one of the greatest and richest
States in the Union. A high.clas:
daily newspaper. that will have an
eye single to the States indusl rial
development, and advocate those
governmental policies that will fos-
ter and protect industrial growth,
would fill long felt want and COM
mand the approval and support of
the great and increasing business in.
terests of the State, and also the sup
port and encouragement Of all dem
ocrats who love their State better
than they love their party.
The development of our States
great resources has been very much
retarded by the domination of the
States politics by class of politi-
clans whose chief end and object
was to hold Office and who have
used appeals to race and sectional
prejudices as the means to accomp.
lish their selfish ends, regardless of
the interests of the State.
Yes, there is not only a need, but
there is q demand for such paper,
and such demand as would make
1t financial success. Then why is
1t that such a daily newspaper has
not been established? Who can an
swers,
There are only two classes of men,
that we know of, who are naturally
opposed to the establishment of such
high-class industrial daily newspa-
per. One class is the red shirt Demo.
Gratis who are professional office hold.
ers and who see no way of holding
offices at the expense of the tax-pay-
ers except through an appeal to race
prejudices and ballot box stuffing;
the other class is that element of the
Republican party who do not want |
the party to grow, but who want it |
to be simply small "patronage(
machine" They are professional
Federal Office holders who want
short division of the Offices. The
party Is already too large to suit
them. They want it to grow small.
er. They look with horror upon
the possibility of any recruits COM
ing to the Republican party. If the
party should grow they know that
they would stand less chance of Sc
curing an office and they know they
are men of such small deserts and
that they would not be of
much importance in strong and
dominat party composed largely of
the business men of the State and
the substantial farmers. l.
This class of Democrats and Re- <
publicans are naturally CO. partners t
In their opposition to every effort to '
build up Republican party and ad.
vance Its policies and promote the 6
Industrial development of the State. i
Whenever the democratic party =,
md the republican party can each i
'hake off the influence of these two {
classes, it will be better for each 1
party and better for the State. c
AS one great step to accomplish
his good for the State, The Cauca- t
nan desires to appeal to every citi-l
ZEN who approves of these views to d
It once rally to the support of the t
movement now on foot to establish | r
high class industrial daily newspa- c
,er at Greensboro, North Carolina. s
such paper with sufficient capital t
nd with the full Associated Press i
morning news service, which such | g
paper will have, would not only Ic
ave q strong local support from the O
'rogressive town of Greensboro b
which Is to-day without such a d
norning newspaper. but such a pa
or would have the support of thou. v
lnds upon thousands of people in O
very quarter of the State. Id
