BOB STEELE, III, ENDORSES
W. 0. BURGIN FOR CONGRESS
Rockingham, June 18—Bob Steele, III, who ran third in
the first Democratic Primary, in tte five man race for Congress
in the Eighth iCongreseional District in which the present Con
gressman W. O. Burgin led C. B. Deans by* more than 2^, re
leases the following statement for the press of the district.
“I think it would be wise for me ,to remain neutral and
refrain from taking sides in the second primary, but there has
lieen so much pressure brought upon me and so many political
threats and intimidations by Deane supporters that I am unable
to remain neutral. I wish to inform my friends over the dirtnct
that I am supporting and endorsing our Congressman, the Hon-
W. O. Ba^n. I am fully aware that I can not tell my
supporters how they should vote next Saturday, but I can tell
them how I shall vote and the reasons why.
In the first primary I was the only one of the five can
didates that received any political mud and it came from the
Deane side. They seem to forget that the first primary was over
on May 25th, but continue with slinging the mud and other de
ceptions. On the deceptions—below I am quoting a letter signed
by my first cousin’s wife. Mis. Robert L. Steele, Jr. In order to
show to the people to what extent the Deane supporters >» ill. go
in order to carry their point.
Rockingham, N. C.
June 18, 1940.
Mr. Bob Steele III.,
Rockingham, N. C.
My dear Bob:
It is my understanding that several newspapers over the
District carried an item whereby my husband R. L. Steele, Jr..
claimed that you had made a false statement to the Press when
you said you did not know a Bob Steele, II.
Some time back Mr. Walter L. Parsons came to my
house and requested Robert to endorse C. B. Deane for Con
gress, telling him that it was most important for a Steele’s
name to be on the endorsement. Robert started to sigrn the pa
per, the same as he always signs a paper, R. L. Steele, Jr., but
Mr. Parsons insisted that he sign as R. L. Steele, II. At the
time he insisted he sign that way Robert and I told him that he
always signed papers as R. L. Steele, Jr. When Mr. Parsons
was at our house Robert was not well enough to sign any pa
pers and I feel that Mr. Parsons took advantage of his condition.
Some time later, it is my understanding, you stated in the
press that you did not know a Bob Steele II. Mr. I. S. London
sent a stack of papers, by Jack Covington, for Robert to sign
and in which he stated that you had made a false statement, in
which you knew he was Bohl Steele II. Fr.mkly, I do not know
a Robert L. Steele II., R. L. Steele II., or Bob Steele M., as Un
cle Bob did in May, 1926 and was Robert I.. Steele II.
I married Robert in 1914 and I have never known him
to sign his name as Robert L. Steele II., R. L. Steele II., or Bob
Steele II., or even spoken of by these names. He has always
been kno^m, as far as I know, as R. L. Steele, Jr., Robert L.
Steele Jr., Pete and Chicken Steele. I can also state that all the
legal papers I have known him to sign bear the signature R. L.
Steele, Jr., or Robert L. Steele Jr., as records at the Richmond
County Court House will show.
It is true that Robert’s Grandfather was Robert L.
Steele, his Uncle was Robert L. Steele IL, and I had known you
as Robert L. Steele III., or Bob Steele III., and I am reliably
informed records at our Court House will show this to be true.
If this letter will help to get “Record Straight’
feel I have done my part.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Robert L. Steele, Jr., (Signed)
In his paper “Eight the Wrong’’ he flatly states that he
will not support the Townsend plan, yet Dr. Townsend has ad
vised his followiers that ho is endorsing C. B. Deane for Con
gress as he, Deane, has pledged to support his bill if elected to
Congress. Deane is either misleading the voters of this district
or Dr. Townsend.
In this great crisis and world upheaval we need a man
in Congress that has all the people at heart and most of all the
welfare of our great nation. Congressman W. 0. Burgin is a
member of the very important Foreign Affairs Committee, in
Congress, and in my opinion we need to keep him in during this
nreaent crisis. His record will show that he has stood by “OUR
GR^T PRESIDENT, FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT,
and no one knows who C. B. Deane will support if he is elected;
he says he will siwort Mr. Roosevelt, but Dr. Townsend says
that ke pledged to support his plan. How can you place your
fiaga on Mr. Deana^”

mOro than tiro years, ago;
‘ wcceffltfoHy, proved by
- ' — 'tfs^i^snivice miles on the
mZ.iL. aa:«dli» the recently announeeil
dveto; Swofford ^ tiro, built to
.ft tttt'cmnt of the majority mark
et of users, Mr. Swafford said
that, currently' he was able to of
fer the Marathon In sets of two
four tires to meet the peak
market in which there should be
more replacements, either in s'eU
or units, of worn out cuings now
niimlag on the highways.
"ft it tine,' as everyone in the
great middle class group of car
owners realises, that tires ought
to be replaced oftener,,,eepecUlIy
in the best of Summer driving
when there are more cats moving
on the roads' and tire failures en
danger a greater number of per
sons, ibut the matter of cash out
lay has prevented buying over
one tire at a Itme,’^ explained Mr.
Swafford. ‘“Tbat la, owners could
not buy the tire of a recognized
manufacturer et a ' price • that
would permit replacement of two
or four tires, and the thrifty per
son wants to get as much in
quality lor his outlay as he can.
So, when we offer the Marathon
with Its high-wide tread, new
roll grip non-skid and dual cord
breaker protection against bruis
es and punctures, and stand back
of It with a lifetime guarantee,
we believe we are doing our part
to put good, lower-priced tires
within the reach of the majority,
thus furthering highway safety.”
“The new All-American, Good-
year’s contribution to the rock-
bottom price range of tires Is a
great guaranteed value for thia
field,” declared Mr. Swafford,
who urged that car owners Inves
tigate their own tires’ safety, or
drive in for a no-charge, no-obll-
gation inspection, because he
wants to continue his part In
helping reduce motoring accidents
due to tire failures.
