my attention has been called to
the statement OF Mayor Buschemeyer

following language: There is no
contest in the Republican party. f.
T. Morrow, the choice of Republi-
can brewer at Newport. and Repub-
lican distiller at greensboro, has that
nomination secure. thanks to the
support of a well financed campaign
committee. whose affairs were man
aged by Phil w. Grinstead. late of
the American School Company.
most adroit politician.
Has No Committee.
II have had no campaign COM
mittee. l have no campaign head
quarters save the law Office in the
town where | live. My campaign
fund has been so pitifully small that
/ am ashamed to state its amount
when realize the tremendous ex-
penditures of money which has been
and is now being made by Demo-
cratic candidates.
"The total of all contributions to
my campaign fund from every source
has been the tremendous sum OF
eight hundred and ten dollars. This
sum came from the following sources
OF which / am not ashamed but very
proud. because. small as 1t is. 1t

my campaign has been managed
in my absence by my brother. w. b. !
Morrow, with the assistance OF the
regular stenographer in my office, Mr.
Otis Waddle, assisted by two young /
men, my personal friends, who with
out pay have helped to prepare for
the mails the few letters which
was able to send out.
my nomination has been made
certain by the overwhelming and
spontaneous sentiment coming from
the rank and file of the Republican
and Progressive parties. without re-
gard to any business or interest I'M
bribed and unbought
"While 1t is Illuminating to me to
be compelled to state the meager-
ness of my campaign fund. yet to me
il is a source of the deepest salts
faction that when the nomination OF
my party comes to me, my outstretch-
ID hand shall be clean to take and
hold It, and my heart will be glad
because my conscience will be clear.
