ROTENONE SPRAYERS ami DUSTERS MARTIN Supply Co. Old Undated Endorsement USED BY Candidate For Congress ? Greenville, N. C. May 21, 1942. To the voters of the First Congression al Distriet: It has come to my attention that the newspapers of the Distriet are carrying an endorsement of Marvin K. Blount bearing my signature; This endorsement was cir culated among the ministers of Greenville a long time before the entrance of Jack Edwards into the race for Congress. I was led to believe that this endorsement would not be published and, as a matter of fact, I was busy at the time it was presented to me and not fully conversant with its con tents. The advertisement is misleading in that it appears that the endorsement was made by the Ministerial Association. To my knowledge the Ministerial Association did not act on this matter in open meeting nor was it ever presented to the associa tion as a body. The petition was brought to me long before Jack Edwards entered the race and I signed it as an individual voter after much pressure had been brought to bear upon me. It should also be called to the public's attention that the ad vertisement in question has not to my knowledge appeared in any of the Green ville or Pitt County newspapers. It is my desire now to correct the impression it might have made on the voters of this dis trict. I shall cast my vote for Jack Edwards in the Democratic Primary and commend him to the voters of the District as a gen tleman of high Christian character, mark ed ability, and a servant of the people. (Signed) John S. Armfield, Rector St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Greenville, N. C. May 22, 1942. The endorsement of Hon. Marvin K. Blount for Congress was before it was known that another Greenville man would enter the race. In endorsing Mr. Blount for this high position it was not the intent of this minis ter to discredit either man in the race. So far as I know the three men are splendid, capable Christian gentlemen. (Signed) Rev. G. W. Perry, Minister, Jarvis Memorial Methodist Church. The endorsement referred to was eirenluted some time in November, 1941. Jack Edwards entered the race for Congress in February, 1942.
