Heavy for use.
By United Press Wire

Columbus. o., Aug. 29.-General A.
II. Critchfleld of Shreve. Senator Dicks
political manager. took occasion, while
in Columbus today. to say what he
thinks of Harry NJ. Daugherty's ac-
ton in announcing his candidacy for
the United States senate.
"If Daugherty intends to be bolt
er and refuses to abide by the result
OF the May primary, in which Senator
Dick received the endorsement of 143,
900 Republican voters, / know of no
way to stop him" said Critchheld.
However. the Dick people are not
going to lose any sleep over Daugh-
erty's candidacy. He's been n candi-
date many times in the past for one
thing or another but he hasn't much
of a record as a winner.
Senator Dick stands squarely on
the proposition that the result of the
primary is binding on Republican
members of the legislature. The pri.
mary was opene to everybody but
neither Daugherty nor any of the
others entered. I can't see where
they have a leg to stand on now"
