yers listed. Gle is one up on me. L
only count 78) He has Is signers to
his petition. So, on this theory, 1t
would appear that practically 100 per
cent of the "elect" lawyers of Raleigh
are opposed to the Presidents propo-
sal. And this assumption (presump-
! tom is, no doubt highly gratifying to
, some. But I am not one of them.
! Let us get down to the facts.
They may not be members of the
Wake County Bar Association, or list
ed in the telephone directory, but
there are 1873 members of the Raleigh
Bar, or Whereabouts. So, we can read
/ lily see that the opposition to the
| President on this matter, instead OF
| constituting nearly 100 percent of the
/ Raleigh Bar, only amounts to slight
| ly over forty-One and one-half al I'D
| per cent. And, again 1 say, Hurrah
| for the Raleigh Bar! 1 am proud of
it, and proud of being member. For
| the Bar, as a whole, instead of being
against the President, is actually fifty
| eight and one-half (58 1-2) per cent
for him and his court proposal. AS
J Andrew H. Brown, President, would
it appear to the world that the Ra-
leigh Bar is against the President,
when it is so heartily for him. This
, cutting down of breeches and figures
IS really funny. Anybody, at any time
and in any place can make a fine
showing by changing figures to suit
) the occasion.
1t is "p4uperfectly" ridiculous to tell
the people that there are only about
70 members of the Raleigh Bar. Why
twenty years ago the Raleigh Bar
! had 100 members, and this at time
when Brother Register was, as I I'M
derstand, engaged in the manufacture
of delectable candies and sweets, and
teaching Greek, rather than practic-
ing law, dispensing hot air on fig
ures, and opposing our President in
the noblest effort ever made by NOR
tai man to permanently improve and
better the social and economic lot and
condition of the great masses of the
American people.
And, now, word as to the RELIABLE
ity of Mr.. Registers source of infor-
nation: He says he found only 70
lawyers listed in the telephone book.
And, had he gone on over to the list
of Notorious Republicans" (Notaries
Public), he would have found only two
CD according to the latest edition. j,
whereas it is a wellknown fact that
there are at least 2OO and maybe 400.
NOtaries who would have to be listed
TO represent the actual count. Why,
his listing of attorneys does not even
give the name of the BIG CHIEF, the
senior Senator from North Carolina
lespite the fact that, whatever else
hay be said for or against him, he is
one of the ablest lawyers who ever
pIacticed at the Raleigh Bar. So, it
would seem that Brother Royster in
lis exhilarating efforts to prove his
flgures, consults list which does not
even mention his LEADER. What's
ne trying to do? Put the Senator out
II first, even though the Senator was
he first man to bat? Let the Sena-
or have his due credit, if he wishes
hat kind of credit.
Ihere are three or four Baileys
Who are members of the Raleigh Bar,
out the latest telephone classified di
rectory lists the name of onlv one of
them. They even omitted the name of
your worthy or unworthy, modest or
immodest, undersigned, sometimes
otherwlse denominated "Peteremus
6llllklns. Do you know what billi-
Kin IS? 1t is, or was, a kind of TOW
we mad about thirty years ago, which
Wnen thrown upon the floor would
WaDDle and twist to beat a chorus girl
out, when left to itself, would ALWAYS
settle on it's bottom and come back
20 an even keel And that is inst
what the American people are going
20 DO. After all the opponents of the
president have exhausted every at
tempt In the category to -vabble and
twist and confuse and conglomerate
the minds of the people on one of
me matters most vital to their con-
Germ and welfare ever presented to
mem since Gyp was puppy and Me-
+, thusalah wore three-cornered trous-
ers, they are going to puff at this un-
toward opposition as though it were
chatf which the wind driveth away,
ana settle down to support the man
Wnom they know to be their Friend.
HAD 1t not been for Franklin D.
Roosevelt, l believe this country would
-ong ago have been in the throes and
agony of revolution more terrible
and savage and barbarous than that
which now curses the Spanish land.
Dur people would not have starved,
and the brilliant mind of Roosevelt
omprehended this. It was, therefore,
necessary for him to purchase the
..lost expensive tackle ever known to
nan, and he went forth in the at
-en1pt to raise the people from the
bottomless depths of the sea of ap-
preaching ruin, and succeeded in part
ly raising them. But the job is not
finished. We are at the crossroads.
Our noble and great-hearted leader is
now at the crucial test with his pro-
gram. His aim and vision all the way
through is and was, not merely to
temporarily end the depression, but to |
bring about social and economic Or
der which would ever hereafter make |
depressions and panics impossible. |

ident with the will, the Willingness
