' of *" Senatorial Race Attracting interest Big Boys In State Llilu Up Behind Favorite Candidates For Second Primary During the past week the Big Boys ot the State have been aligning themselves behind their favorite candidates (or the United States Sen atorial nomination. Among those giving out letters or Interviews are .the following: ' Bowie for Reynolds West Jefferson, June 14. ? Judge Tarn C. Bowie, who ran third in the race tor the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate, said today he would be unable to attend the caucus ot supporters of Robert R. Reynolds, who was the leading candidate in Raleigh Wednesday evening, but announced that he would "actively" support the Ashe vlle man in the second primary campaign. Up to today, he had made no statem ent as to whether his sup port of Reynolds would be active. In a statement issued this after noon, Judge Bowie commented sharply upon the statement given to the press last week by Governor Rufus A. Doughton of Sparta. He thought the Doughton announcement so worked that It might be construed as Indicating "a division in my own household." The statement, which also tak9a note of what Judge Bowie thinks is a change of front on the part of some newspapers, follows: "I have read with much interest the statement of my good friend and neighbor, Governor R. A. Doughton, giving his reasons for supporting Senator Morrison in the second pri mary. I have no objection to Gov. Doughton's announcing his person al decision, as Is his right. However, hli statement, coming so soon aftor my own announcement of my sufr port of Reynolds and containing, as it did, an averment of his 'loyal support' of me In the first primary, might be construed as almost a di vision in aiy own household. "I do not doubt that my good Mehd and neighbor supported me, If he says he did; but none of my friends heard him saying much in my behalf. Certainly, I did not have the benefit of a public statement from him In my favor through the press as Senator Morrison has had already. And the governor made a political speech in my home town before the primary In which he did not once mention my name. Which would almost lead one to believe that he has not had any violent change ot heart in being transform ed from a silent supporter of mine Into a vociferous champion .of the senior Senator. ~ "One other unique development since the results of the primary have been made known Is the very appar ent change on the part of some of the newspapers supporting Senator Morrison in their attitude toward Mr. Reynolds. Although lie Is the same Bob Reynolds now that he was then, with the same character and the same ability and the same views on public questions, where once they boosted, they now boo. Then he was a good fellow; now he is a sin ister Influence. Then he wa* a chief contender; now he hasn't a chance. Then It was merely a friendly party contest; now It as sumes characteristics of a great 'moral' crusade. "I do not believe the public will be misled. This change ot front Is too transparent. I predict that It will react against Senator Morrison as it onght to." Grist (or Morrison Rqpelgh, Juite IS. ? Frank D. Grist, who ran fourth in the June 4 Democratic senatorial primary af ter a heated campaign against Sena tor Cameron Morrison, tonight said he would support Morrison, who trailed Robert R. Reynolds, Ashville wet, by 16,000 votes in the second primary. The announcement came out of a clear sky and followed Reynolds' claims that both Tam C. Bowie, who ran third in the first primary and Orlst would support him in the July 2 run off which Senator Morrison is demanding. iBowle issued a state ment confirming his support. Attacks War Record "A man who deserts his country in time of war, after being trained tor military service at the expense of the country," Orist said in a formal statement, "has no right in time of peace to be honored by election to the United States Senate as Bob Rey nolds has done and Is now doing." He declared he was "laying aside my personal feelings In this direc tion and am looking to the best in terest of the state and nation." "As ? world war veteran who suf fered the loss of my blood on Flan ders field, I appeal to the patriotic sln?ferH^ M all true Americans to defeat * slacker who fallad to serve his country In time of need," Orlst declared.
