ANSWERS MIR. HOLLOWAY.

To the Editor:
According to the letter of James H
Holloway, Of Raleigh, which appeared
in this column last Friday, Ralph W.
Mcdonald candidate for governor had
small crowd to hear his speech last
Tuesday night, in Raleigh's largest
auditorium. I read the newspapers
account of the meeting and they
agreed there were more than three
thousand and five hundred there. In
glazing headlines, one paper said:
Vast hall here damned for speech by
Mcdonald Mr.. Holloway says there
was not much applause. Another head
line in the paper said: "Anti-Salestax
candidate keeps crowd of over $500
cheering and yelling"
In his letter to the Dispatch, Mr.
Holloway said: "The idea that Mr..
Mcdonald is now on the way out Of
the picture is gazing credence all over
the State. Two days after MIR Hol-'
loway's letter was written all the aft
ernoon papers said: "McDonald makes
gains for the week and Hoey drops
some"
Mr.. Holloway says voters want to
know where Mcdonald got his train
ing and experience to qualify him for
the Governorship of North Carolina.
No one, 1 think, has any doubt of Nc,
Donald being thoroughly qualified to
fill the office of Governor, but there
are about a million in this State who
hope he did not get his qualifications
from the same source our other Gov
errors have been getting theirs For
about their qualifications was always
a strong Odor of the plutocrat, and
it is quite plain to me that no honest
intelligent farmer or working man in
our State wants any more of that in
any office in our State or Country. In
this connection I wish to say Mr.. Nc
Donald is the only man who ever ran
for Governor of this State who was
not affected with faulty vision. All
the others, for at least forty wears.
have been nearsighted. They could not
see all the workers in the factories.
the shops, the fishing boats and on
the farms, toiling away their lives
for a scant existence while the few
rich enjoy all the comforts of plenty.
Mr.. Mcdonald sees them as they
struggle for a slave wage and out of
that have to pay Sales Tax in or
der that the tax on wealth may be
less. And the fear that he is going to
do something about it is what is caus-
ing all the noise.
Mr.. Holloway like all the big rich
fellows and their puppets in this State
wants to know where MIR. Mcdonald
will get the money to run the State
Now that is the rub. That is where
the shoe pinches the "big boys who,
know, quite well, they like Ananias.
of old have kept in their own pockets
other peoples money. They know they
have not paid the farmer and laborer
fair and just share of the proceeds
of their work. They know they have.
always had a friend in the office of
Governor of this State, and that they
have also had their servants in the
Congress and the State Legislature to-
work their nefarious schemes where
by they have robbed the great pro-
ducing class of our fellow citizens
of their just income.
Our rich masters fear Mr.. McDon-
aid is honest, and if elected Governor
of North Carolina he will try to ad-
minister the laws justly, ana nave
the strong hear the burden or TIE
weak, as God in His holy Word says
they should. Mr.. Mcdonald has gone
into every nook and corner or the
State and told the people Where nc
! would get the money to finance the
State He is going to get the money
from those who are backing r1oey
