understood that the whole mat
ter had gone by the board, that
Mr.. Goodwin had lost out COM
pletely, when Senator Simmons
stepped in and saved the day. So
even the larger part of those ap-
preparations Mr.. Goodwin can
hardly just claim as due to his
efforts.
But what is there, we candid
ly ask, in the above, that would
justify any citizen of Robson
whooping it up for Goodwin ?
Mr.. Goodwin calls attention to
some other bills he has introduce
ed, but introducing bills is an
easy matter; getting them en-
acted into law is another matter.
Mr.. Goodwin devotes a long par
agraph to a discussion of tn e
benefit that would come from the
drainage of swamp lands in this
district. and begins the next
paragraph with, I'm addi-
ton to the above l have
secured, etc. Which we re-
specially submit is misleading;
for he has not secured anything
for drainage, as we understand
it. Any other candidate could as
appropriately say the m e
things that he said about drain
age.
This statement" issued by
Mr.. Goodwin prof esses to tell Of
what he has accomplished, and,
as we pointed out above, what
has been accomplished during
his term of office for this dis
trict- and he cannot claim credit
for it all-takes up a scant one
tenth of the entire statement;the
rest is made up of what he hopes
to do, what he favors, ct cetera.
We have nothing but the most
friendly feeling for Mr.. Goodwin
and we would not do him an in
justice Intentionally. But we
honestly believe that Robeson's
candidate for Congress, Mr.. A.
j. McKinnon, an able, clean
and successful business man
could accomplish more in one
term than Mr.. Goodwin has &C.
complished in the two he has
served. Let every voter Of Rob.
eson county read with an open
min d and an understanding
heart Mr.. Godwin's own state
ment of his services is fair tt
assume that he has done himself
entire justice and then honest
ly ask himself ifRobeson's cand:
date could not beat that record.
