The endorsement of Senator Nc

shaw county shows that the move
mcnt Tor broad guaged executive is
growing.
We believe that the letter written
by Hon. Lowndes Browning has had
tremendous effect. Mr.. Browninp.
set the matter forth in such clean,
clear, convincing style that no think
ing man no blinded by either per
sonal or political prejudice could fail
TO be impressed.
The people want change i'm the DO
lltlcal conditions in this state. They
are tlrcd OF personal politics. Nc
Laurn means change. Mark our pre-
alction, the conservative element in
both factions can agree on Mel aur;n
an; ana they will agree on McLaurin.
They may fight over the senatorial
race, but sensible business people
want business mans administra-
ton and they know McLaurn will
give It to them. The masses have seen
nm demand and get six per cent
money. They silently creep back to
cight per cent since McLaurin left
the warehouse. They have seen in
Surancc go back higher than ever.
they know McLaurin will not do any-
Ihing wild or foolish, that he will
demand what is right and see that
thc public gets "a square deal" We
look for McLaurn to win the first
primary, no matter who runs for gov
crnor.
rms is one year when there will be
lot Of busted states.
The people are angry and alarmed
at the increase of taxes. They see a
lot OF new offices created each wear,
and work being duplicated by various
state departments. They read in Gov
ernor Manning's message a recon-
nencation of merger Of these de-
i'lsles, the administration flor leader.
Introducing a bill for state insurance,
ihcy know that these are McLaurin's
ideas and they also know that he is
the only nan in sight with the ener-
%y, enthusiasm and brains to put the
IDEAS into execution. They have not
forgotten what he did with weak
warehouse law and a niggardlv annro-
prlation. Exchange.
