A Wilmington window dressing contest is praised as a worthwhile, publicity boosting event. Merchants and the Chamber of Commerce celebrate the display as a happy, logical affair attracting crowds to view creatively arranged storefronts. The piece also notes national politics with reference to President Wilson and cross party civility.
The piece predicts Wilmington will form a local suffrage league as part of a broader Southern trend. It argues the movement is logical, not militant, and notes support from national leaders like Bryant, Roosevelt, and Hughes, with the South gradually embracing enfranchisement.
The New Bern Sun argues against pardoning B S Thomas who was sentenced to a year for assault in a Raleigh Pullman station. It lambasts lenient justice, calls for hard labor, and warns of incentives to commit crime. The piece also endorses women voting and criticizes anti suffrage arguments.
