THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE W.
ArGuRATTOS or A CAMPAIGN
OF SANDER AND ABUSE


OF SANDER AND ABUSE
The Western Carolina Entsrprsse.
in an editorial commenting upon the
amount Of criticism being heaped up
on the ias; Legislature for the mnch
,ha, il failed TO DO and for some OF
the things that It did do. says:
Wasn't the late UNPLEASANT
ness which called Itself Legis-
Iature. the natural result OF such
a mud-slInging campaign as the
one conducted in North Carolina
last fall? when the people per-
init real issues TO be thrown
aside 90 easily can they blame
politicians for thinking they
don't care? Can We expect bet
ter so long as the tough and the
vote-seller holds the balance OF
power?"
The Enterprise might have gone
further and called attention TO the
browning work OF the Infamous cam
paign fnaugurated and carried on by
the Democratic machine, when II
used money as never before and ran
open and notorious Democratic blind
tigers on the day OF election. in order
to debauch as far as possible the vot-
ers. 1t was a fitting climax for such
a campaign inaugurated and conduct
ed by such men as Daniels and Sim
mons.
The campaign was a disgrace to
the State, and the extent of the dam
ages to the State by frightening away
desirable immigration and capital
from our borders, In spite of our
great resources, can never be esti-
mated.
The Democratic machine deliber-
ately planned that kind of contemp-
tible and miserable campaign, be-
cause the party leaders dared not try
to defend their past record of broken
promises before the people, and dared
not discuss the live issues on the
stump and through the press and tell
the people where they stood. Under
cover of such a campaign there were
nominated and elected trust and cor
poration lawyers, who have just vot-
ed against the people in the Legisla-
ture and voted in the interests of the
trust monopolies. Many of these men
could not have been elected if they
had been forced to tell the people on
the stump where they stood and how
they would vote.
The editor of the Raleigh News and
Observer charges that not single
measure was passed by the last Leg
islature which was opposed by the
trusts and monopolies and public SER
vice corporations of the State. The
editor of that paper says that when
| the nyp0cr1t1cal ana QlSnOneSt anti
trust law was passed, that it was fix
ed up exactly to suit the Standard Oil
Company and the American Tobacco
Company and all other trusts.
And yet that paper is largely re
sponsible for helping to inaugurate
and conduct a campaign that made
possible the election of such an un
patriotic Legislature. And again
that paper will be in favor and will
help to conduct, as far as it can, an
other such campaign, if the people
stand for it, under cover of which
the people can again be betrayed JUS
as they were by the last Legislature
