This campaign seems to me to be
merely an effort on the part OF tv,
very ordinary Congressman to sccur.

was the summing up of former Mayor
Carlton Mccarthy. In an address on
political issues last night before the
East End Citizens Association of Mar
shall Ward.
II never heard OF Mr. Jones before
this campaign" continued Captain
Mccarthy Il had heard of Mr. Glass
only as newspaper editor. and did
not know he was In Congress. ! don't
believe either OF these candidates has
achieved anything as a representative
of the people. which should entltle
him to especial recognition
Il have no personal acquaintance
/ with Senator Martin. but I do not be-
lleve he is Il liar. Nor do I believe
that II he was traitor to his party
or trickstcr, or a railroad agent. or
acklng in real ability, he would have
been selected by the Democrats OF the
United states Senate as their leader
Il is an insult to the party to the
state and to the Senate to make such
charges against him.

man could enter his office while he

reproachable. his whole record gives
the lie to n charge that he would do

man who will grow and develop into
one better and stronger and drawer
than he is now / cannot believe this

Captain Mccarthy said he had au-

He thought he had the reputation Of
saying just What he thought. and he
proposed to do II on this occasion
He said II might be said OF him that
he had sold out for a stnto job-that
