ance Co. He said over londg- distance

offering for denomination I feel II Is
due nv friends and supporters TO aoVlsa
them of the reasons why l snan not

nance an active primary campaign.
In the first place, the Congress
which is now in session, VIII not mn
ish its work until after the primary
contest is over. The party ana my
Democratic colleagues In the senate
have honored me with important re-
sponsibilities, and regard 1t as lmpera-
tive that no personal considerations

served for the effectual discharge OF

to carry. at the same time. the ADDED
burden of an active campaign on my
part.
Leaves Candidacy TO Friends.
"Furthermore. having spent the best
years of my life in the public service,
I now have no money to finance q

ing only conSecrated service, guided and

for the past 40-odd years. My record
during those years is an open book and
is known to the people of North Caro-
lima. and I am entirely satisfied thus
to leave it to them to say whether or
not they wish me to remain in the
Senate longer than my present term"
