\ Real Statesman
Governor Aycock was not only
| political stumper but real states
| man. He was broad minded and inde-
! pendent
| IN the splendid speech before the
/ convention that nominated him for
governor. Mr.. Aycock said: We IN
| scribe thereon con the old banner Of
| Democracy White Supremacy and its
| perpetua ton. Under that banner we
shall win, and when VIC shall have
won we will have peace in the land
| There will be rest from political bit
| terneSs and race antagonSm. Industry
will have a great outburSt Freed
| from the necessity of voting accord
ing to our color, we shall have intel
lectual freedom. Error will come face
to face with truth and shall suffer
that final crushing which the poet de-
| MES to truth With freedom of
thought will come Independence of
action. and public questions viii stand
or fall in the court of reason and not
Of passion

grand old State are to be ad
