In the society column of Washing
ton' ID. c., daily paper [ found the
item: Former Governor and Mrs.
Max Gardner have returned to the
May1lower from trip to New York,
Wherc they were guests OF Mr. and
MIS-. ). Clay Williams at the South
erh society ball in the Waldorf-As-
toIia."
Ihls Max Gardner is the man
you farmers and working people vot-
cd to make Governor of North Caro-
INA some years ago. He lives now in
lne Mayflower hotel Washington 8
finest. He goes to a ball with Clay
Williams in New York at that towns
llneSt hotel. He is living right at the
top, while a million or more of his
leltow citizens, in the State he used
10 govern, are fighting the wolf of
want, day in and day out. This man

read in today's paper that our
| present Governor saw a prize fight in
new York some days ago, and said
ne was much pleased with it. A week
or so ago he was too interested in a
football game to go to Atlanta to help
mold up the hands of the best Presi-
dent our country ever had. It is quite
! patent he is against any move to help
the farmers and working folks, and
like our representatives in congress
would be glad to have us go back to
the old deal so they could have q
plenty in security while the multitude

thus Is the man who is holding back
from thousands of old people in this
, Stale the little pension that the last
Congress made it possible for them to
have. While it. is true, it is only a
slave pay, as Father Coughlin calls
it, yet thirty dollars month will
help some and these poor people
would get it but for the powerful in
fiucncc Of the rich. who arc afraid
they will have to pay a few pennies
more in taxes. Yet they know, as VIC
all do, that all taxes are produced
by the farmers and workers
Next June. if God spares us, We will
name another man to be Governor OF
our state. Three have said they want
the place. CLYDE Hoey. Gus. Graham,
and DIR. Mcdonald. All three have
held public office, and shown very
clearly who is their master. The big
rich fellows who own the power and
light companies and other large con-
Germs want Clyde Hoey. While the
big tankers and those who are sitting
back and taking it easy on the toll
Of other people, want Augustus H.
Graham. While I would rather see the
State grow up in weeds. than keep
the present administration we have
in Raleigh. yet we had just as we'll
do it as to put either Hoey or Gra-
ham in the Governors chair. They
are both tarred with the sameb rush,
that all our Governors have BEEN
since Zebulon B. Vance.
DR.. Mcdonald put up mans fight
in the last Legislature for the far
mers and wOrkingmen. He champion
ed their cause on every question. He
comes out now squarely against those
who have been running the State
with their money, for their interest.
lie docs not believe those who work
and produce every thing should have
to bear the unjust sales tax burden
to lessen the taxes Of the rich. Meth
f. or does he believe farmers and work.
ers should have to pay interest on
bonds on which the wealthy grow
rich None Of the big rich boys want
DIR. Mcdonald for governor. That
alone should be a sufficient reason
why every farmer. and every work.
ingman should support him.
We arc less than seven months
from election day. There are many
reasons to suppose that we arc that
near to choosing whether the COM
munism of Russia. the Nazism of
Germany. or the Fascism of italy. or
the Democracy of Jefferson and
Jackson. is to be our form Of Govern
ment. These are serious and danger
Gus times and it behovcs those of us,
who have all our lives, borne the heat
and burden OF tho day to bcstir our
selves in order that We may be in
formed and thereby be able to vote
Tor honest true men and women to
administer tho affairs of our State
| and Nation.
