This trip" he continued, ais large
ly for the purpose Of shaking hands
with old friends and in getting a
slant on the political situation here"
Governor Moody refused to com
ment upon the barring Of the names
Of party jumpers" from the demo
cratic primary ballots By the Cam

No Speeches
He also refused TO comment on the

AS spokesman, Milton West an

or" he said. eve are all his friends
and supporters and there Is no need
70 tire him now BY expecting him to
make an address on this occasion
when he must deliver addresses in
two Valley towns today. 1t would
be unnecessarily firing on him."
Immediately after breakfast, Moody
went 70 his room in the hotel and
when he returned TO the lobby where
a group Of admirers had waited TO
talk to him, he was Immediately at
tired in a white linen suit and
seemed considerably more rested
than when he arrived.
Talks With Love
AS he stepped from the train upon
its arrival in this city, II was APP
parent that the trip 70 the Valley
had tired him considerably. His eyes
were red as though he had not slept
well during the night and the usual
springiness was absent as he walked
slowly the one block 10 the hotel.
Upon his retur TO the lobby from
his room, he was met by Thomas B.
Love, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, who had previously requested
a short interview with him.
This interview lasted only a few
minutes.
Love refused to say whether he had
requested the governor to take steps
20 force the Cameron county demo-
cratic executive committee 70 place
his name on the primary ballot.
II the request vas made, II Is be-
lieyed that the governor refused to
take a hand" because of the fact
that he had previously announced
that he would take no part in the
controversy.
