VIEWS
FROM MIR. WRIGHT

To the Editor:
Looks as if our next Governor will
be appointed as all of them have
been for many years. I see by the
papers the governor and his hench-
men want no candidate to announce
himself for office until nearer the
election next June. Their scheme
is, evidently, to let as few people as
possible know there is voting to be
done in a little over eleven months.
AS long as they can run things with
out the people knowing about it the
better for them and their wealthy
sponsors. There is one thing GER
tain, those who manipulate the Demo
cratic machine in this State want
no more such men as Mr.. Mcdonald
IN the campaign next year. That
fellow told more than they wanted
told to the plain people of our State.
He came very near upsetting their
apple cart and sending them back to
private life, where God knows they
every one should be.
What farmer and workingman has
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-06-08

been benefited by the bunch in Ra-
leigh who defeated Mcdonald? Not
one They did give more pay to
some who were getting more than
several farmers or WOrklngmen.
They throw their influence to the
big power companies in order that
none may have light but the rich.
They, led by your governor, are as
opposed to organized labor, which
has been the salvation of our cOun-
try, as his satanic majesty is pur-
ported to be against holy water.
They left the sale tax still on the
statute books to help the rich pay for
the running of the State which gives
them comforts and pleasure while
you who work get only the same old
crumbs your fathers got. They did
raise the pay of the teachers, but. it
was so small it was insulting, and
God would nearly have to put on
glasses to discover it. In short, they
did nothing to help those whose labor
produce the wealth, but such as the
head of one tobacco company who
gets about a hundred thousand dol
lars each year are we'll pleased with
the management of the State of
North Carolina.
That makes me say, every school
house, every church and every place
men and women can assemble should
be crowded, at least twice each
month until next June election, with
people seeking to free themselves
from Fascism that soon, if allowed
to continue, will be as cruel as that
of Italy or Germany.
The New Dea1 is very unpopular
with those who run our State. I
firmly believe that the Democratic
machine in North Carolina would
rather have Republican, even if he
is another Hoover, in the White
House than Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The big Democrats, as we'll as Re-
publicans, hate the president for
the same reason Wall Street does,
and that is because the President is
tired of seeing the producing class
robbed by the money class, and he
proposes to do something about it.
They thought he would after a year
or so in office change and do as all
his predecessors have done; turn the
government over to organized wealth
but he has not done it, for today
after more than six years he is fight
ing harder than ever for the 40 mil
lions who are i'll fed, i'll housed and
i'll clothed. Just a few days ago in
the last speech he made he said:
Never SO long as I am President of
the United States will 1 condemn
millions of men and women to the
dry rot of idleness on a dole" The
leas.ers of the Democratic party in
this State don't like such talk. They
don't want to hear of the poor work.
ing people. Let them stay out in
the fields and factories and work
and not bother us with their troubles

Carolina and all other states. The
