PLANS A DIGNIFIED CAMPAIGN

Rumors of a most sensational nature
regarding the woolwine Good Govern
ment meeting at Simpson auditorium
tonight were in circulation last night
at the various political headquarters,
but would not be confirmed either by
Mr.. Woolwine or the Good Govern
ment organization. There was sufh-
cient belief in them, however, at the
Republican headquarters to occasion
considerable scurrying to see how
prominent Republicans stand on the
Woolwine-F -Fredericks campaign.
Two rumors which have been most
discussed are that Mr.. Woolwine is
to have the open support of. some of
the most prominent Republicans In
the county, on the one hand, and, on
the other that he is prepared to
"smoke OUT the Republican county
central committee, so that after his
speech tonight they will be forced to
throw the candidate for district attor-
ney overheard to save the rest of the
ticket
Although this is being freely dis
cussed by the politicians, Mr.. Wool
wine refused yesterday to anticipate
his speech and to affirm or deny either
rumor.
''WhiIe / intend to make dignifled
campaign and to deal in proofs instead
of personalities, 1 expect to be plain
spoken" he said yesterday. II don't
intend to fire all my ammunition FRI
day night, but there Is plenty of 1t to
last through the campaign. l prefer
not to anticipate what l have to say"
Officers of the Good Government or
ganlzation refused to verify the rumor
that a prominent Republican supposed
to be supporting the party ticket Will
make a sensational speech in favor or
Mr.. Woolwine at tonights meeting.
Lynn Helm and Herbert NJ. Haskell,
who are announced as speakers to-
night, are both prominent business
men but a third speaker of equal
prominence and not officially an
nounced is said to be ready to speak
for Mr.. Woolwine's candidacy.
Good Government workers are dis
tributing Woolwine cards, which give
the following personal statement
about their candidate for the district
attorneyship:
