to agree, but failing, he marshaled the
delinquent jury from the room 20 their

Copies of the same circular were
recently distributed by night about

stating that the statements contained
in the circular were true presentations
of facts pertaining to the causes of
opposition to Gray in Wayne county.

result OF pressure brought to bear on
Mr.. Lontz by practically solid Dem
ocracy in Wayne county, Democracy
which realized that If the sixth dis.
trict was to remain Democratic it
would have to discard Gray and select
as a congressional candidate man of
the type of Mr.. Lontz. 1t seems
strange that Gray should send out a
report that only disappointed Wayne
county job hunters were supportin 6
the Lontz candidacy in the light of the
fact that several OF Grays closest
friends and ablest supporters in
Wayne county have repeatedly urged
him not to make the race against Mr..
Lontz." ~.
Lontz spent today campaigning in
Rush county and will address a nigln
meeting at Raleigh.
