I had nothing to do, directly or indirectly, with the preparation of the complaint In this action, nor with any other feature of the case. I do not know when the complaint was filed. If I was In Waynesville on the day It was filed, as stated by Mr. Reynolds, my visit had no connection with the matter. I cannot understand why Mr. Reynolds-should charge me with be ing connected with this litigation on the strength of a mere, vague rumor, unless it is for nt purpose of shift ing the responsibility of this awsult unuer the united states statute all candidates for" congress are re quired by law to- file with the clerk of the house of representatives, with in 15 days after the convention, a sworn statement of all expenditures and liabilities Incurred In connection with the campaign.

HACKET FAVORS 1 Says Statewide Primary Law Will Make Wilkes County . Democratic. Gazette-News Bureau, Wyatt Building, Washington, July IS. Former Congressman R. N. Hackett of Wilkes gave out an interview last night in which he stated that he was in favor of a statewide legalized pri mary for all parties on the same day, providing a corrupt practices act can be enacted which will properly safe guard the primary law. Mr. Hackett says he would suggest a corrupt prac tices law which would suggest a cor rupt practices law which would make It a crime to buy or attempt to buy, sell or offer to sell votes, or to coerce or In any way seek to prevent a fair and Impartial expression of the elec torate. He would have the present corrupt practice acts changed so as to make the penalty for . violation dis franchisement and disqualification for holding office. ' If the legislature will pass such laws, Mr. Hackett says his own county of Wilkes, which Is largely republican, wll In a few years be strongly demo cratic. He has great respect for some of the gentlemen living In the western counties who say that a primary would lose certain counties to the republi can, but he Is sure they are mistaken and when the law Is finally enacteo and he Is sure It Is coming tn the near future these gentlemen will find that they will have a stronger democratic foothold than they now have. Mr. Hackett believes the state-wldn prlmary le aa certain to become a law In North Carolina as the sun Is due to shine. It Is coming, he thinks because the people have become convinced tbat In this way they can have honest elei Uona ELKS BEGIN GOLDEN JUBILEE SESSION Denver, Col., July 11.
