Carolina BAPTIST laElnan Who
is going to be 1 candidate for
Governor OF North Carolina in
the Democratic Primary next
year is going to make a hard
headed bid ior votes. The kind
OF campaign Mr.. Bailey is go
inc to make was clearly indl-
Gated in his speech TO the HI
wanians in Elizabeth City last
Friday night.
OF course Mr.. Bailey didn't come
here To max" Il political speech. but
every speech made by an aSpirant
for an office is constructed with a
view 10 votc-gctting. Josiah VIII

/ -. Mr.. BAILEY will be for prohi'
hition law enforcement i'll way thai
will interest and enlist the Suppor'
of the churches. He didn't say
word about prohibition in his Srr"cl
hero. but he did not stress the p0!n
time and again that the state ha'
failed when il can not enforce il,
laws. Ills Silt'tU III lI't NN> N'HN

Il state can not enforce its laws. th'

To call attention to the failure OF th'
state in the enforcement OF prohlol

cracy to another. There are as m"E.
ideas of justice as there are type
of men. }. W. EalI"y Is not I'LL "o
normal type Of man. He is an a2Ic
brilliant lcvcl-hcadcd. proud cItlZc>
who has taken very good care "
himself and is perfectly willing 10
the other fellow to go as lar aS Ii
can in the same direction 5" long Il
he doesn't interfere with the pro
grcSS or prcrogativcs Of J. W. l'all
cy. And he is shrcwd enough to CUES
that thc security of Mr.. Bailey an,
= lot of the rest of us depends up
ON the security and contcndcdnc>s o
the rank and file. lie will therefor
exert himself to tighten the burdc>
