crime and as it was published in the

A CHARGE THAT WILL HURT
WHEN TRUE.

The Raleigh News and Observer.
in an editorial commenting upon the
recent election contest in Virginia,
says:
Kent is running for a Federal Of
fice," says Governor Swanson, of the
Republican candidate for governor
Of Virginia. OF course Southern Re-
publicans care for nothing except
Washington jobs and Washington
approval"
The election returns last week In
Virginia would seem to indicate that
the voters believed what Governor
Swanson charged. One thing Ia GER
tain, the Republican party can never
grow and win victories when the OPP
position can make such a charge as
Governor Swanson made and have
the voters believe it. The rank and
file of the party in North Carolina
should see to it that in the next cam.
paign no such charge can truthfully
be made. The first step to place the
party on such a high plane where il
can be On the aggressive instead Of
the defensive is to get rid of the
present incompetent leadership.

SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

The election of Judge Gaynor as
mayor Of New York. cannot be con-
sidered real Democratic victory,
even for mayor. AS matter of fact,
Judge Gaynor was not the kind of
man Tammany Hall wanted, but they
nominated him thinking he would
pull the rest of their ticket through.
But he didn't. The rest of the ticket
met with an inglorious defeat. Both
Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Barnard, the
Republican candidate, said repeated
ly in their campaign speeches that
the election of the mayor was not so
important this year as was the cleo
ton of the other candidates on the
Fusion ticket-the presidents of the
different boroughs in the city, all of
whom, together with the mayor and
the comptroller, make up the Board
OF Estimates and Apportionment,
and will control affairs. The purse
strings and clean men in the minor
Offices is what interests New Workers
most at this time. While Judge
Gaynor will have three votes ON the
