Reward Justly Earned

Recent reports from Washington
lend color to the general belief that
Senator Overman will not overlook
the claims of Charles A. Webb, the
Democratic state chairman. for ap-
pointment as district attorney. Those
who subscribe to the theory that in
politics, as in all other things, the re-
ward should go to those who work f.or
it, will admit that Chairman Webb, by
his long service to his party and par
ticular1y by his work as state chair
man, has certainly merited recogni-
ton. While the majority Of North
Carolina's congressional districts have
Jared we'll in the distribution Of official
appointments, the Tenth has received
practically nothing, yet no district in
the state can be said to be closer In
political struggles than own.
The organization that holds it, and the
men at the head of the organization.
should be rewarded by the party
whose victories they make possible.
Chairman Webb's record of political
achievement in the ranks of North
Carolina Democracy is n to be proud
CT, and one certainly deserving OF re-
cognitions as political service is now
recognized.
1t has been pointed out that as the
Tenth district has the governor of the
state the Democrats of this district
ought to be satisfied with that There
is very little force to that argument,
since Governor Craig was the unani-
mouse choice of the Democratic cleo
torate, and his occupancy of the chief
executives chair can in no sense be
looked upon as a political appointment
in the way of reward for party SER.
vices. The Office of district attorney
comes within the power of party lead
ers to bestow and the appointment
should fall where it will do the party
most good. Plainly then, it should
come to the Tenth congressional dis
tIict for the sake of party preserva-
ton in the district, if for no other rea-
son. But, as previously stated, the
state chairman has a strong claim for
recognition at the hands of those who
have the appointive power. Indeed, in
the majority of states the party chair
nan by reason of his Office and the
work performed, is one of the first to,
be considered when the plums begin
to fall.'1Citizen.
