nomination.
Further enquiry into John McPhillips'
references confirms the impression that
they. are all bogus. Here is second
batch of results:-
NJ. t. ROSENBERG.
Mr.. M. T. Rosenberg said that he enter
tanned regard for Mr.. McPhillips per-
sonally and the manner in which he had
performed his duties as Under Sheriff but
he did not endorse his candidacy for
Sheriff nor did he intend TO support him.
FLAvEL M'GEE.
Mr.. FIavel MCGEE of the firm Of Bedle,
Muirheid, MCGEE & Beedle, said that his
name as attached to the letter published
by Mr.. McPhillips must not be taken as
an endorsement upon his part of Mr..
McPhillip's candidacy for Sheriff. II
have never supported Mr.. McPhilips for
that Office and do not intend to-" con-
tinued Mr. MCGEE with warmth.
WILLIAM MUIRHEID.
Mr.. William Muirneid, one of Mr..
McGee's partners said that all he knew
about his name being attached to the
letter was when he saw it in the news
papers. He did not support Mr.. McPhil-
lips for the Shrievality, he said, and the
use of his name in that connection was
without his authority.
CHARLES W. FULLER.
Charles w. Fuller said:-''The use OF
my name was wholly unauthorized. Mr..
McPhillips has made a good clerk In the
Sheriff's office as far as I know. He has
OeeQ ODllSiHg w memUoIS VI tuc OdI thu
has shown us great courtesy But I'm
going to do all can to elect Farm"
Wanser."
J. G. RANDOLPH
Joseph c. Randolph said:--"I gave no
one authority to use my name in this con-
nection. haven't read the letter. I'm
a Democrat and not a Republican. More
than that have no voice in the county.
Pm not a resident"
HENRY EWAID
Mr. Henry Ewald said:-ssMr. Nc
Phillips never had my consent to use
my name in his letter of acceptance. ]
have not met him over half q dozen
times. / have heard great many com
plants about the manner in which the
Sheriff's office has been run under Mr..
Davis"
JAMES FLEMING.
James Flemming said:--sI did not
know that Mr.. McPhillips had used my
name. l never gave him any authority
for it.
WILLIAM A. LEWIS.
William A. Lewis said:-"1 have read
Mr.. McPhilipps' letter of acceptance. In
it he is very careful to omit saying any
thing about his fitness for the Office of
Sheriff. Mr.. McPhiflips personally is all
right, and is very courteous. He has per
haps made good Under Sheriff. but
when he becomes q candidate for the
higher ONCE OIL DuerIu, anu IL Il CduQlQdIe
of the Ring which it is said Bob
Davis controls, and which is directly re-
sponsible for the gross frauds which were
perpetrated. then McPhilipps loses his
self respect. AS candidate of that
Ring he should be beaten"
j. w. BISSELL.
j. w. Bissell said:-"Mr. McPhilipps
never consulted me with reference to
using my name IN his letter of ac-
ceptance, and, therefor, he has no author
ity to do So / don't like the manner in
which the Sheriff's Office was run during
the past three years, aud think that If
the other lawyers will tell the truth they
will bear me out In this statement"
JOHN w. HECK.
John w. Heck said:-.Personally am
friend of both candidates, but am a
Republican and shall take the stand
adopted by my party and the bulk of the
citizens. Mr.. McPhillips did not ask me
to permit the use of my name. If he had
/ should have probably asked him not &c
use it,"
Republican Headquarters.
Judge r. B, Seymour, chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Repu blican
County Committee, has procured rooms
on the fifth floor of the Weldon Building
to be used as Republican headquarters
until after election. The rooms will be
open every day until six p. m. The com
mittee are preparing for an aggressive
IA mnaiUn and will be ready to give in
