Just back from stops in Craven,
Brunswick, New Hanover and Dupiin
counties. Governor W. w. kitchin is
!nanitesting a highly satisnod state oil
mind with reference TO the status of
HIS campaign for the United states
Senate as successor to Senator T., ~.
Simmons. Governor Knchin is as
sorting that he found friends In Cra-
ven. who predicted that he would car
ry the county In the senatorial pri-
mary. While he is not counting OH
this he insists that he has surprisingly
large following there. The Governor
has been out OF the city for several
days. and quantities OF mail accumu-
lated. including letters from every
section of the state rejecting the con-
ditions in the locality OF each writer
The Governor talks enthusia stically Of
his prospects for victory, as he says
he rnds them reflected in these hun
dreds of letters.
United States Senator L. NJ Sim
mons was in Raleigh for a short while
to-day, and talked confidently of
steady gains being made in his fGnt
to retain his seat in the senate AS
he 81 Car
ments are highly satisfactory. and am
gaining strength all the time" He
seemed to have neither the time nor
inclination to go into details.
In the meantime as the activities In
the Kitchin and the simmons camps
are quickening perccptibly there is
nothing lagBard about the calnpa ign
work for Ex-Governor Aycock and
Chief Justice Walter Clark. They and
thar friends are pushing campaigns
with vigor. and It is positively assert
cd that there are most encouraging
rnllyings to the standard of each.
Governor Aycock scorns the idea that
he Will ever retire from the race, In
sisting that he will win: and Judge
Clark Is equally positive and confident
about the contest he is waSinS lor this
much coveted seat.
