MIR. WRIGHT WRITES AGAIN.

u.
To the Editor:
During our late political contest Mr..
James H. Holloway took an unusual
interest in trying to defeat Mr.. Nc
Donald who was fighting the Gard
ner, Ehringhaus, Hoey Democratic
State machine. In every article, and
he wrote several for this column, he
flayed Mcdonald and extolled the
State machine and its candidate Hoey.
l replied to some of his articles in
which 1 said there were two classes
who supported Hoey. One knew no
better and the other had an axe to
grind. Ignorance among many who
vote in our State may be eXcusable,
especially since great many of the
we'll informed-our professional peo-
pie; Lawyers, Preachers, Doctors, and
Editors-do their utmost to keep the
unfortunate ignorant, in the dark about
what is best for them at election
time. But there is no excuse for we'll
informed person to sell his vote and
influence for a mess of pottage, there
by putting in jeopardy the happiness
and best interest of the all in the
State except few rich folks.
see by the papers that this James
H. Holloway of Raleigh who wrote so
disparagingly of Mr.. Mcdonald has
been appointed a director of the North
Carolina Railroad. He was appointed
by the Governor of North Carolina
acting for the Democratic machine.
Regardless of their fitness, the poll
ticial machine puts in office those
who will help them keep the ignorant
masses in line in order they may be
more easily plundered.
That is the way this State has been
managed during the more than fifty
years 1 have known something of it's
affairs. That is the way our National
Government was run for at least
about seventy years, until President
Roosevelt took a hand in 1888. But he
with all his humanitarian efforts has
! failed to get as much relief from the
| tyrantical rule of plutOcracy. Mr..
| Roosevelt knows the only need of this
! country is more money in the hands
| of the great producing class. He
! knows that wages and the income Of
! the farmers should be about five times
, more than it is. He knows there is no
constitutional law for the way our
Government is letting the money pow
| er have complete CONTROL of our
money. He knows they do it to rake
| off the more than thirteen billions of
dollars in interest each and every
, year He knows that tremendous in
terest has to be produced by the far
mers and other workers in our coun-
| try. He knows not one cent is pro-
+! duced by the rich who enjoy the fruits
| of those who toll. Yet Mr. Roosevelt
J is powerless to do anything about it..
He is powerless largely because of the
men in the Congress from the South.
! When ever a bill comes up in Con-
! gress to right these matters every
man in Congress from North Carolina
! and nearly every one from the South
votes with the big money crowd.
Why? Because they belong to the
| great Democratic Machine. The ma
chine Belongs to the money power and
pays it's hirelings, who get the little
fellows to vote to keep it in power, by
! giving them jobs, that are paid for by
our tax money thereby paying their
servants without any cost to the ma
chine. MIR. James H. Holloway of RAJ
leigh has got his. Now how do you
dear good people feel who voted for
his man after turning a deaf ear to
the pleadings of those who sought to
!; free your State from the damable in
fluence of our Democratic Machine?
