accept the republican nomination for
congress in the event that Mr.. James

nomination, but that he will not make
the race for the republicans if Mr..

look significant?

Why Bob's For Congress.
.(Forest CITY Press.

NEOIOOL S1Ly 44O0S'
Mr.. Robert r. Reynolds better known
by the sobriquet, "Our Bob" spoke to
a large crowd here Monday night in
the interest of his candidacy for the
congressional nomination. Mr.. Rey-
holds spoke from the steps of Hotel
Mabree and delighted the men, women
and children who gathered to hear
him.
The issues were cast aside by Mr..
Reynolds and he launched into his
reason for entering the ace. He was
g candidate, he said, because our fore
fathers had said that any man 20 years
and old and over was eligible to a
seat in the United States Congress;
he was a free born American citizen
and, he added, he wanted the $500
lust as every other candidate wants
it," Mr.. Reynolds is a typical Amer
ican-young, vigorous, strong and a
good mixer. He was perfectly frank
throughout his talk and this fact
seemed to win him friends.
Mr.. Reynolds had no word of con-
demnation for any Of the other can
didates; said thy no doubt were good
men, but believed that he could come
nearer earning that $500 than any
man in the race. Before closing his
speech, he told his hearers that he
was the captain of Troop B and that
he was expecting a call to go to the
front, "I do not want to CO." he said,
81 am not seeking bullets; what / am
looking for is votes, but if the call
comes, boys, I will go. If the call
comes 1 ask that you do not forget me,
for | will come back. Keep fighting
for me while 1 am fighting for o and
] will come back to take my place If
you elect me to congress-"
Mr.. Reynolds was introduced by x
Sheriff Martin of E~llenboro, who came
over to hear him and accompany him
to Ellenboro, CIiffside, Henrietta and
Caroleen where speeches were made
yesterday and today. The Forest City
band furnished music and put the
crowd in the proper mood for listen
ing to a speech.

MIR. Moore is one OF the best known

He has practiced in the courts of every

N0dAOIIS GNOW6sJ Dr.
Judge James III. Merrimon of this
city today makes formal announce
ment through the columns of The Ca
zette-News that he will be a candidate
before the democratic congressional
convention of the Tenth North Caro-
lima district for nomination, and that
the voters of Buncombe and Haywood
counties, as we'll as those of the re-
naming II counties in the district
which hold primaries, will be given
an opportunity to cast their ballots for
him in these primaries. He states in
his announcement that he will not be
able to carry on an active personal
campaign, as he has obligations that
will consume all his time until July (,
but that he is confident that his
friends will look after his interests.
Judge Merrrimon does not claim to
have qualifications above others in the
race, or above others who may enter
the race but states that he enters sim
,ly because he is qualified for the posi-
ton and is following out a constitu-
tional right. He points to his record
of 45 years as a democrat and says
that he has always stood stanchly by
the democratic standard, through sue
cess and adversely. He gives his ca
dorsement to the Wilson administra-
ton.

from friends in different parts of the

aggressive a campaign as he would
like to make, he is doing what cam
paigning he can find time to do and
that his friends are working for him.

Gudger's Appropriations.
(Waynesville Courier. }


One of the strong claims advanced
by the friends of Congressman Gudger
why he should be returned was that
he Is now il a position, by reason of
important committee appointments, to
greatly aid Waynesville p~ostofice, for
which purpose an authorization of
$65, 900 was made some time ago. 1t
has been argued that a new man
would be helpless to aid Waynesville
II this matter, and that Mr.. Gudger
was now able, or account of his place
on the committee on public buildings,
to do what Waynesville people are so
anxious to have done.
This confidence in the powers OF
Mr.. Gudger. seemingly are misplaced,
however, for Mr.. Gudger himself in a
letter some days ago to a prominent
citizen of Waynesyille admits that he
Is poWerless to move a hand toward
getting Waynesville the building
which is so badly needed. When MI.
Gudger was in WaynesvilIe week be-
Tore last he personally made the same
statements to citizens here, and he.
ought to know what he is talking
about.
The letter from Mr.. Gudger men
'1cned was mailed in an envelope
carrying the congressional frank of
MT. Gudger which the law says shall
De used only for Official government
business.

With ave candidates In the race for
congressional domination and prima-

Congressman Gudger has taken up

nolds.
