name, even if it is not so euphonious.

Motley Morehead, a well to do WOODEN
mill operator who reluctantly &C
copied the nomination, refused TO
campaign and did not expect to WIN
but when the votes were counted, de-
feated Aubrey Brooks, the Democratic
candidate by more than four hundred

willing statesman is now on his way

that he is a business man" and
ignorant of politics.
Despite Mr. Morehead's personal
apathy his campaign managers saw
as the campaign progressed, that he
had a good chance of victory and
laid the case before the Republican
national committee. A liberal dona-
ton was the result and the major
portion of this was developed to work
in the Fifth district with the outcome
that a Republican albeit almost re-
bellious, was elected and will serve in
