Rumor hath it that certain mis-
guided politicians are going a
round Offering to "swap candi-
1ates" ON election day. In other
words, Mr.. A. Democrat, goes up
to Mr.. b. Republican, and offers
to vote BIS candidate il the lat
ter will vote for his (A's). Don't
indulge IN such trucking as that
whether you are a Democrat or
a Republican. You have no guar
antee that the man with whom
you stIike a bargain will live up
to 1t, One oi the two men will,
perbaps, make his promises good
while the other may not. Even
{ both kept faith, it is not good
politics to barter your votes.
Vote a straight ticket, whatever
| It in.
No Democrat should endanger
the success of a single candidate
on the ticket BY splitting hi g
vote or swapping, There is but
glory in a divided victvry; the

partial defeat. The political lion
and the lamb can never lie down
ltogetherin' North Carolina, ,sior
they have nothing in common,
Imagine the small comfort to be
extracted fro N q Democratic
victory in the county which was
overshadowed by the disgrace
of a Republican victory in the
congressional district.
The Republicans have every
thing to gain and nothing to
to lose by offering to swap can.
