MADDOX EXPLAINS
WHY HE'S IN RACE
FOR j. s. SENATE

The secret is out Tom Maddox has
at last taken the public into confidence
as to why he entered the race for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator after three others had a
long start Tom wants to go to the
senate For this and no other reason
he has thrown his hat in the ring
This he makes clear in a statement is
sued yesterday in response to de-
mand from a reporter that he dis
close the motives back of his action.
The statement follows:
I have been accused of entering the
senatorial race in order to muddy the
water and beat someone. This is only
a part of my transgressions. 1 am
trying my best to beatty any honor
able means-three Republicans for the
nomination, in order to beat the
strongest Democrat at the election.
1T is said that 1 desire to compete
with Captain Robson for the ex-
soldier vote: that l am trying to split
the progressive vote to defeat Mr..
Clark; and again they say that I am
trying to cut into the standpat vote
in order to hurt Mr.. Cameron. I am
absolutely impartial in my desire TO
defeat the other candidates; in doing
this, [ am asking the support of no
particular group or clique.
1T is the fortune of politics that
some of US will be defeated. If the
Repu bIican voters of this state are of
the opinion that any of the other can
didates has done more for his party;
would be of greater service to the
state ticket in general; that he is bet
ter qualified for this high office and
in it can do more for our state; that
he has a better chance for election;
that he would be freer from outside
influence or that his integrity or word,
in business or politics, is better than
mine; L hope they will support him.
Regardless of any ambition of my
own, 1 desire him to win, whom the
party, as a whole, considers the best
man.
The fact that 1 have been but a
short time in the race is to my dis
advantage, only, and should not be
used by any other candidate as an ex-
cuse for HIS possible defeat"

They Did Not Heed the Call

Consequently they missed one of the best
lectures that Richmond has had an oppor-
tunity TO hear in many months. The min
isters were there; they laughed. they ap-
plauded, and they learned. Others were
there. and they did likewise
IL was only members OF the Advertising
CUB who were not there.
1T was members OF the Advertising Club
who missed the best thing we have had this
year-the speech by DR.. w. Warren Giles last
Thursday evening at the John Marshall High
Why weren't members OF the club there?
Well, why?
1t probably is attributable to the fact that
Or. Giles announced subject was that of
church advertising. DR.. Giles didn't have
great deal to say about advertising on any
subject, but he did have a great many things
10 say about many other things, and he said
II IN such a way that when he finished, round
after round OF applause greeted him.
But few and far between were members
OF the Advertising Club who can tell you
about his address. because they we're not
there.
All OF which leads to wonder why the
apparent lack of interest in programs that
the club has gone to unlimited patience and
great expense to arrange. Is it that the
members want other things? If So what?

terpret your wishes as best they can, but being
