The Roanoke Rapids Herald reviews North Carolina politics ahead of the July 3 primary. It mocks Cameron Morrison and the Democratic platform while praising editorial stances from The Roanoke-Chowan Times and commenting on women suffrage, tax debates, and party machinery.
The paper, after initially saying it would not take sides before the primary, now supports O Max Gardner for the Democrat nomination and election. It cites Gardner’s ability, training, experience, party adherence, and connection with working people as reasons he would promote peace and goodwill among all citizens.
This paper denounces rewarding office seekers with party support. It condemns Senator Simmons and many revenue officers chosen by him for trying to dictate voters choice for governor. Though loyal to Simmons in his senator race, the paper opposes a Simmons Dynasty.
