county is moving in a direction that
could we'll be followed by every oun
ty in the State-the organization of a
live, active county First Voters
Club" The purpose is to have as
many as possible OF the young men
who will cast their first ballots this
year join the club and to vote the
Democratic ticket straight from pres
idential electors to township consta-
bic. 1t is very properly suggested
that by enrolling as members of the
county club all young men will be-
come more fully impressed with their
evident duty to help, from the very
start, in the pe~rpetuation of good
government. At the same time they
will make the right start IN life for
themselves, whose future nav open
great possibilities to some of them
politically, by Identifying themselves
with the only party that is as old as
the government itself, and which will
live and figure actively in the future
life of the nation, as no other party
will.
This is a matter that should be tax.

counties, for it a be made an active

DeceiVing the People.
candidate Linney (who is also run
ming for Hammers job of United
States District Attorney, in case
Hughes should be elected has been
thrown down again in one of his pc
rlod1cal political wrestling matches
with Champion Facts. Linney is
over the Democratic showing
of lower governmental cost per capita
in North Carolina than in n other
State of the American Union-that is,
at present, and since the Democrats
recovered control of the State govern
ment from the fusionists sixteen
years ago. (Of course no such claim
could have been made under Repub-
lican rule.)
Candidate Linney, therefore, set
about to juggle the figures in order
to confuse the facts and make them
less understandable to the average
voter. So he added the average per
cost of the county governments
in this State, of 2.99, to the per capita
State cost Of Las and shouted to his
audience that the figures of the Demo-
Gratis werent half right that the
real figures should be AS instead Of
]. As. The like Of this are familiar
tricks of the Republican spellbinders.
And he stopped right there-leaving
the impression on his audience that
North Carolina was way up in the list
Of high priced states.
He wouldn't explain to the assem-
bled voters that the claim of lower
governmental cost per capita in this
State will stand the test of analysis
into. And this is where the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nominee gets his
shoulders pinned to the mat by the
wrestler-Facts:
Combine the State and county fig
ures of all other States. as Mr.. Linney
has in the case of North Carolina and
we find that this State still has the
cheapest, most economically admins
tered government of all the 4S States
of the Union, with the single excep-
ton of South Carolina, the cost OF
State government alone being Las in

figures are a little smaller than ours
and that lets her down a peg below
us when the figures are combined.
That is all that Linney's juggling
accomplishes in fact. But be led his
audience, to think that he had deliv-
ed a Knockout blow to Democratic
Don't take the word of these
Republican spellbinders unsupported.
Think for yourself and
will easily discover their tricks
to fool the voters" Don't be fooled!
