Reynolds Charged
With Intimidation
BY Frank Hancock
First Big Campaign Shot Fired
"a Senatorial Race. Early
For Action.

Washington. Feb. 10. Representa-
tive Frank Hancock today charged
that Senator Reynolds was seeking
to intimidate federal employees by
having circulated among his patro-
mage holders cards pledging their
sco-operation" in the North Caro-
lima primary.
The fifth district representative,
who IS opposing Reynolds for the
nomination branded the tactics OF
his opponent in rallying support Of
federal employees as cheap" and
beneath the dignity of any man
who preslImes to hold the Office Of
United States senator"
Hancock enclosed with his state
ment one Of the cards, which he
said were being passed out in fed
era1 departments by supporters of
Senator Reynolds The card pro-
vides a blank space for the en-
ployee to sign as "a Bob Reynolds
Renominator." The pledge reads:
81 hereby pledge my active sup
port and cooperation in behalf of
Bob Reynolds candidacy for re-
nomination for United States sem
ator in the North Carolina primary
on June 4, 1888"
There is no mention of a cam
paign contribution on the card, but
Hancock Observed
eff they do not sign the cards
pledging their support and coop
eqation' to Senator Reynolds, the
plain inference is that their jobs
may not be safe. 1t is also quite
easy in interpret the meaning of
cooperation involved in this
scheme"
81 will not only 60 to bat to pro-
tect any efficient worker who re-
fuses to sign such card" Han
cock said in the statement he is
sued just before leaving for North
Carolina to resume his campaign
activities, "but after I am elected
SENATOR I shall want to know both
the first and last names Of federal
employees who have so little to do
that they can take time to play
cheap politics during government
hours anr in governmtnt buildings
Perhaps there are other North Caro-
linians who would regard federal
employment more seriously. Surely
no fair-minded person in the state
will fail to condemn this form of
political intimidation of federal en-
ployees.n s-5-.s
