Mr. R? vn old's itinerary for today
includes a trip from Asheville. with
short addresses at Canton, Clyde,
Wayn* s :lle, Franklin, Bryson City,
Andiev with his closing speech of
the can., aign at Murphy.
Among outstanding developments
in the campaign during the last few
days was the endorsement by more
than ">00 women of Buncombe coun
ty of the Asheville candidate for the
I'r.ited States Senate. The resolu
tion. ijrned by the women, and car
ried in the Asheville Citizen, follows:
"All sorts of inuendos attacking
the haracter of Hon. Robert R.
Reynolds have been circulated
throughout the state by his enemies
during the present campaign, and it
has been openly and falsely charged
thai none of the good women of his
home county are supporting his can
didacy for the United States Senate.
The following women, all residents
of Buncombe county and his neigh
bor?, resent these charge? as false
and unfair, and cheerfully and pub
licly testify that they are supporting
Buncombe county's favored son, the
Hon. Robert R. Reynolds, in this cam
paijm, and are doing all they honor
ably can to bring about his election
and urge their fellow-women of the
state to join them in their efforts."
In an announcement from state
Headquarters from Raleigh, Mr. Rey
nold*- said that attempts to connect
his campaign with that of other can
didates for other offices "will not
fool the Democratic voters of this
state."
'The people know I am running i
under my own stam," he declared,
"and it is absurd for the Morrison
henchmen to believe they can make
the people think 1 would hazard my
own chances in this great fight just
for the purpose of aiding some other
candidate for another office."
Reynolds said he had strong sup
port in the camps of both candidate?
foT governor and "it would be utter
ly ridiculous for me to take sides in
that race."
"The Morrison men," he said, "are
in such desperate straits to stop the
vast tidal wave of support which has
turned to me in this second primary
that they are grasping every straw
they .see, no matter how absurd it
appears."

ing candidate for this office in the
first primary, Mr. Norton having en
doivcd Fletcher for the position in
the second primary.
Dr. K. K. Bennett, of Bryson City,
was here Saturday in the interest of
his 'run-off with R. A. Patton, of
Franklin, leader in the first primary
for state senator from this district.
R. A. Dcwar, of Andrews, was also
here this week in the interest of his
campaign for the Republican nomin
ation for representative from this
county against S. A. Voyles, run
ncr-up in the first primary.
The Campaign between Mr. Rey
nolds and Mr. Morrison for the noni- ,
ination of United States Senator from
North Carolina is attracting nation
wide attention from the fact that'
Morrison is a dry, and Reynolds is
a wet. The campaign takes on more J
significance since the Democratic
National Convention, meeting this
week at Chicago, has gone on record
as favoring the repeal of the 18th
Amendment, and immediate modifi
cation of the Volstead law.
