HODGES HOGS SHOW
The Public Appeal, Durham, N. C.

If there were ever any doubts about Governor Hodges' political ambitions,
recent developments put them to rest.

Old Hogwash, the gigolo Governor - the globe-trotting traitor who
betrayed the South-has put "self" before everything else, and his every
act is designed to build himself up to insure his own political future.

This irresponsible spender of public funds is the greatest political
fraud of our time. He is incapable of public trust, unworthy of the high
office he holds, and he has single-handedly, dictatorially and arbitrarily
caused the secession of this great state from the union of Southern States.

The "governor" is a publicity hound of no mean ability-and he
always "hogs" the show.

This gubernatorial hypocrite lovey-doved with the black Negro Communist
from Guinea-and his staff of publicity pluggers portrayed the
royal reception given the foreign coon as "typical" of North Carolina.

The truth of the matter is that the whole show was a Hodges publicity
stunt to promote himself as a Negro liberal and was alien to
everything North Carolinians stand for. They had nothing whatever to
do with inviting the Guinea president here, and the people themselves
per se, had nothing to do with entertaining him! It was a rigged show
-unnatural, unSouthern and un-American.

The current publicity gag by the bored playboy "governor" is his
gallivanting in Europe with his fellow millionaires. On this escapade
he has with him the most capable (for a price!) publicity man in Dixie
—John Harden-maker of governors. But even Mr. Harden can't make
a president, or vice-president or anything else out of Luther I. except
a "Hog."
