one Of the western counties. writes
as that be had been for Morehead
for State chairman. but that 1t In nos
being urged and impressed IN the
strongest manner possible that IL was
the duty of Mr.. Morehead 10 run for
Congress again. because be was the
only man who could carry the Fifth
District, and that Mr.. Morehead
would be a traitor 20 his party If be
refused the nomination. and that the
people of that district should and
would force him TO take 1t and make
the fight. and that therefore Mt
Morehead was out of the race as a
candidate for State Chairman.
This delegate, who is an honest
patriotic man, wrote us asking who
We thought was the next best man for
State Chairman, because he had been
convinced by this argument that Mr..
Morehead ought TO run for Congress
and ought not to be a candidate for
State Chairman. This delegate only
subscribed for The Caucasian in the
very letter in which he wrote us this
information. If that delegate had
been reading The Caucasian for two
or three months he would not have
been misled by this cunning but dis
honest plea on the part of the
frightened and desperate machine
The fact is. as the Caucasian has
frequently stated, and as everybody
in the Fifth Congressional District
knows, that Mr.. Morehead has been
forced to the conviction that there
was doubt about him or anybody else
being elected in the Fifth District if
the ring bosses continued their DOM
ination of the party, and indeed, that
there was doubt about the election
of any Congressman. Besides, Mr..
Morehead has been placed on the
campaign executive committee of the
National Compression committee and
charged with the duty of electing
more Congressman in North Carolina.
1t is this duty which has been i'm
posed upon Mr.. Morehead by the Ma
tional party and the National admin
istration which has caused him to
decide not to be a candidate for Con-
gress, in order that he can give his
whole time to the saving of the
three Congressional districts that we
now have and the election of three
or four more Republican Congress
men. When Mr.. Morehead began to
study the situation as how best to
perform this great and important
duty imposed upon him he realized
that it was absolutely necessary in
order for him to succeed to over
throw the ring rule which had cursed
the party in the State, and to estab-
lish an open-door policy and have at
the head of the State organization
some man who honestly wants to
elect more Congressman and carry
the State Republican and who will
make a vigorous, winning fight to
| that end
AS soon as it was known that this
was his determination, there come
up from one end of the State to the
other, an appeal to him from patri-
otto Republicans, who have been sc
long discouraged by ring rule and
who have been long anxious to make
a fight for Republican success in
the State, to permit his friends te
present his name for State Chairman
1t is on account of this condition
and in response to this appeal, that
Mr.. Morehead's name is to-day be
fore the State for that position, ant
this is why the people of North Caro-
lyina have rallied to his support anC
will elect him State Chairman OF
August 10th by a tremendous ma
jority.
That means that our great Stat,
will line up solidly in the column o
the great National party of progress
and prosperity.
