DOWN WITH BoSSISM.

In the course of his sermon in
Charlotte, Sunday night, Rev. Plato
Durham said: "The time has come
when ring rule and bossism should
come to an end in North Carolina,
and if our State is to succeed, we
must not submit to the crack of the
party whip over any mans head"
The curse of the democratic party
is ring rule and quiet submission to
the party ashland as the demo-
cratic party is In control ring rule
has become also a curse TO the State.
The democratic bosses of the State
have shown their hand in this legis.
lature. Many members have felt
the sting of the party lash and have
been driven to action and forced to
favor or oppose laws which it is be.
lieved were not In accord with their
views. Where such conditions as
this exist the taxpayers can never
get square deal. The rank and file
of that party are realizing the fact,
and the election two years from now
will show great decrease In the
dem ocratic vote in this State.

The fellow who introduced the
bill TO allow the Governor 5000 a
year for travelling expenses must be
a great admirer of our STRENUOUS
Governor, who is without doubt one
of the travelingisu' and talking
est" Governors that ever appeared
in this State. They may allow him
$500 year for travelling expenses
but they can't enforce law to make
people hear that speech of his unless
they want to hear him.
1t is our opinion that political ms
should pay their own travelling ex.
penses, and if they are not able to
do this, let 'em stay at home. Ger
tainly il's not the business Of the
taxpayers to foot the travelling ex-
penses, hotel bills, shaves, shoe
shines and cigar bills of aspiring
politicians, even if said politicians
are possessed of the happy ability to
make Water come into the eyes Of
their hearers by thei1 pathetic strains
of eloquence. If their charmed
hearers want to help 'em out by vol
untary contributions. let the hat be
passed around at each appointment,
but don't bleed uninterested tax
payers for "traveling expenses."-

Democrats Want Surry County 3,
Legislative Enactment.
Eikin Timos Domoarotio


Elkin Times tDemocratic)
The action of the Democratic eau
Gus held recently in Dobson asking
the legislature to appoint four adolf
.tionsl County Commissioners for
Surry County is revolutionary and
undemOcratic. 1t is antagonistic to
the principles of true Democracy,
and we are surprised that the Demo-
Gratis of Surry County would recon-
mend such an action. It is an at
tempt to override the will of the
people of the County as expressed
by very decisive majority at the
November election Ii the Demo-
Gratis want to increase the Republi-
can majority in Surry County then
let the recommendation of this eau
Gus be enacted into law-there is
no surer way Of doing it.
We are not saying this from a
partisan standpoint hut from the
standpoint of citizen who believes
in majority rule. We bow to the
will of the majority though thai
maj ority may not always reflect oul
views, and this all good citizens and
true DEM Gratis will do. Let the
Democraes of Surry County beware
how they override the will of the
people.
IF this Democratic paper doesn'
mind it will be 'sread out of tn.
