To the Editor:
T. in the name of justice and a clean
Democratic Campaign between the
Candidates for Governor of North
Carolina, humbly request that you
give this article the same conspicuous
space in the Dispatch which was
given to the article published March
Both earmarked Daily Dispatch Blu
reau in Sir Walter Hotel by ]. G.
Baskerville. Or
I am not unmindful of the adage
"Never disturb a sleeping dog, how
ever, 1 am of the opinion that fair
minded North Carolinians who may
have read the article referred to, will
unanimously decide that in this par
ticular instance Mr.. Baskerville is talk
ing in his sleep and should be awaken
ed. The language that he has used is
not ethical and carries with it a
stencil which is obnoxious to the bet
| ter element of North Carolina citizens.
From my personal knowledge of the
| higher character of the Candidates,
am sure that each Of them would not
| only refrain from mudslinging but
will rebuke Mr.. Baskervills insinua-
! tons regarding Ralph Mcdonald not
J being a North Carolinian, as well as
other insinuations comparing him
with Governors of other states whom
Mr.. Baskerville infers are not worthy
| or competent officials.
No one denies or tries to conceal
the fact that Mcdonald was born in
Illinois. Should this disqualify him?
/ Woodrow Wilson was born in Vir-
| ginia, a school man in New Jersey
and President of the United States.
Ralph Mcdonald has long line of
| Scotch-Irish ancestry in North Caro-
lima who have for generations proven
| themselves to be patriotic citizens.
Ralph in his young manhood came to
the state of his fore-fathers and at
| the age of 81 cast his first ballot with
the Democratic party and has truly
demonstrated, not only his ability but
his superior knowledge of the admin
, istration of the Democratic Govern
| ment without favor of class. He has
| devoted his life within the state to
the advancement of higher education
| connected with our better Universities
and Colleges.
For Mr.. Baskerville information I
will say, being born in North Caro-
! lima does not necessarily guarantee
either a good Democrat or a good
citizen.

what you receive from it.
