OTHERS VIEWS
FROM MIR. WRIGHT

TO the Editor:
Feeling that Mr.. and Mrs. Average
Voter take too little interest in the
political affairs of our State and ma
ton, am moved to do my little bit
to increase their Solicitude for our
countries welfare With a little Sc
rious thought we all must admit moth
ing is more important than to know
TO vote in government like ours. For
the past five years. at least, our coun-
try has been on the brink of civil war
and cause of which was the careless
ness of the people about voting. That
disregard for the highest privilege of
an American citizen has for many
years caused men to be sent to the
Congress and Legislature who did the
bidding of organized wealth to be de-
triment of the great producing class
BY that means organized wealth has
pushed back and plundered this great
producing class to the last ditch. IN
der the leadership of our noble Pres
ident and such valiant leaders as John
L. Lewis the producing class does not
intend to give another inch. Under
that grand and noble leadership the
farmers and workers intend to have
far better share of the wealth of our
country or spill their blood.
Now all this could have been pre-
vented had the voters only known
what they were doing, all through the
years, when they cast their ballots.
1t must be the wish and prayer of
every right thinking person that we,
one and all bestire ourselves from the
horrors of civil war.
Don't think me. an alarmist for 1
am not, but l venture to say men and
possibly women will be shot down
right here in North Carolina within a
year for seeking to get a better wage
and better living conditions, unless
Mr.. Roosevelt can do something with
the Supreme Court so he can get laws
to help these workers. One of the
men who is fighting the President in
his efforts to better the condition of
the farmers and workers is Josiah
Bailey who misrepresents the people
OF this State in the U. S. Senate. Last
Fall the Democratic Machine in this
State told you to vote for him and
you gave him another six years to
try to keep you in the grip of poverty.
AND he is doing all a man with a lit
tie brain and no heart can do to that
end. Senator Bailey is a Republican
ike all those who are opposed to the
Presidents Court plan. He could not
have been elected last Fall had the
people known him as well as thew
should and as well as 1 did. I fol-
lowed him during his first six years
in the Senate and found him with the
Republicans on all important cues
tons. He has shown himself mean
er man than Judas Iscariot, for after
Judas betrayed his Lord he repented
and brought back TIE price he was
paid and had the courage to hang him
self, but Senator Bailey has done
neither for his rascally betrayal of
the great majority of the good people
of North Carolina and the nation.
When l was a boy 1 went to pro-
tracted meetings, and one old preach
er told the sinners if they wanted to
go to hell just continue to sit away
back in the church making no eff
fort to seek forgiveness for their sins
and there they would go. So if we
want to continue in the slavery that
has been ours through all the wears.
just continue to ca, s.v:n1ns for the
affairs of our government and our
wish will be granted. Do that and
Senator Bailey and his rich sponsors
will pat us on the back and tell us
what noble patriotic citizens we are
FOR doing all the work while they and
theirs 1--we in an earthly heaven.
