The latest candidate for governor
is "Little "Charlio" Wost-thopfes-ont
Incumbent of tho attorney; gen-
eral's office whose "first political
movometit was. to flood the malls of
tho Democratic press with his- an-
nouncement which thay "are at lib-
erty to publish." - West during his
tenure of office has been a great
seeker after publicity ad it- camo
to the point that many newspapers
heralded bis every movement this
much sought after publicity befng
about all thero was to Charlie West
and his administration. West also
approves the using of state militia
tofinforco laws .for tho rogulatI0nsof
the public morale and the commuta-
tion of tho sentences of eonfossod
negro .murderers whoifi tho courH
nave condemned to die.
Merely a cursory observation will
reveal the fact that all the other
persons who aspire to tho Democrat-
ic nomination for governor are ceh-
torlng their guns on Dob Williams
which is about tho bost proof wo can
find that tho othor candidates and
the politicians know that Dob Wil
liams has tho bunch of them skinned
a country block and if tho primary
werd to bo hold tomorrow Williams
would poll more votes than tho rest
of them combined. This seems to
be -a day of dirty pollltcs but tho
people nro gettlbg wise Just a littlo
fnBter than the politicians and tho
choap tricks that used to work: don't
cut much ico any more.
Tho Vlnlta Leader ono of tho
State's leading wookllds is also ono
of tho very fow newspapers of the
State that .has tho brass to editorial
ly uphold tho administration of
Governor. Cruco to his every act
Of course Editor Amos holds a State
Job handed him by Mr. Cruco' and
pwes the -governor a debt ofgratl-
tuilo if nothing else Which perhaps
accounts for tho many editorial ex-
pressions favorable to the adminis-
tration. An lngrate is a pretty
small chap after nil and Amos is
not to be blamed.
