4 Popular Governor.

While Governor Kitchin has been
making some political speeches (up
to date. however, they have hardly
numbered over half dozen}, he has
made many more educational adj
dresses, in which he never limited at
politics. On the contrary, he raised
his voice in powerful manner for the
building up Of the great school sys-
TEN and for the advancement Of the
youth Of the day. 1t fact, it looks
like Governor Kitchin is not only
the most popular, as well, perhaps.
as the strongest speaker in North
Carolina. but that he almost has a
monopoly on school commencement
addresses this year. About every
day or two we hear Of him making
such an address and every report
shows how he delighted those who
heard him. AS the Governor could
not invite himself to make these
speeches, and as human nature is
such that schools always try to get
the best orator they can for such oc.
casions, it is a natural conclusion
that Governor Kitchin is very pop
ular man in North Carolina, anc
that he is doing a great work fol
the cause of education, because PEG
pie would hardly want shy man save
one of sound thought, Of life worth,
Of emulation and possessed Of a ca
reer to act as an inspiration, to adj
wise the youth. - Wilmington Dis

make a good president for the
common people:
l. He has broken his solemn
promise not to be a candidate for

promises are not to be relied

2. For seven years he was

seven years the very conditions
