Editorial notes on Congress and state politics
Miss Pollard and the public should sue Congress for breach of promise as a sugar stock probe is tabled led by Senator Gorman. Raleigh Chamber favors city ownership of a telephone exchange and streetcar system, while tobacco interests press Ransom and Vance. Congress acts like a Chamber of Commerce as Contentnea Creek and streetcar lines are debated. Josephus Daniels opposes severing the state party from the national one, arguing the national end has fulfilled promises though not convincingly.
