NORTH WILKESBORO, N. Cj
COPY OF ADVERTTSEMENT
WATERWORKS
North Wilkesboro, N. C., May 14, 1934.
To the Editor of Journal-Patriot,
North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.
Dear Sir;
I was in North Wilkesboro this morning and my attention was called
to a political advertisement which was carried in your pape’* Monday,
May 14th, 19.34, to the effect that J. C. Reins, chairman of the Democratic
executive committee of Wilkes county, J. G. Hackett, F. C. Tomlinson, T.
B. Finley, judge, and J. A. Rousseau, mayor, endorsed nie in a telegram
addressed to Senator J. W. Bailey and others urging that I be appointed
as chief deputy marshal for the middle district of North Carolina.
After seeing this advertisement, I am compelled, out of fairness to
the gentlemen who endorsed my telegram, to state the facts about this en
dorsement. I did secure the endorsement of these gentlemen for the of
fice of chief deputy marshal and at the time they endorsed me they
stated that there was no one in Wilkes county seeking the office of chief
deputy marshal, but that the Democratic executive committee of Wilkes
county had endorsed Mr. Odell Whittington, of Wilkes county, for the
office of deputy marshal and that some other Democrats of Wilkes county
had endorsed Mr. W. A. Jones for the office of deputy marshal, and they
told me that they would not endorse me for any office w'here Wilkes
county had an applicant for the office, but that there was no one from
the countv of Wilkes seeking the office of chief deputy marshal. Tlie
office of chief deputy marshal and deputy marshal are two separate and
distinct offices. The office of chief deputy marshal pays considerable
more than the office of deputy marshal and the chief deputy marshal
is located in Greensboro. I, at no time, sought the office of deputy
marshal and if the office had been tendered me at that time I w’ould
would not have accepted it. j. u i
Mr Jim Rivers, of Boone, was appointed chief deputy marshal,
and for some reason did not accept it and a gentleman from Rocking
ham was appointed and it is my information that he is now serving as
chief deputy marshal. I am also reliably informed by the chairman ot
the Deipocratic executive committee of Wilkes county _ D. J. Brook
shire, that the Democratic organization is backing Odell Whittington at
this time for the office of deputy marshal.
At the time I secured the endorsement of the Wilkes county Demo
crats who signed my telegram, I had the endorsement of the Democratic
organizations of several other counties surrounding and adjoining Wilkes
county and I am informed that some of the gentlemen who signed this
telegram and other Democrats of Wilkes county had endorsed other can
didates for offices outside of Wilkes county where there was no Wilkes
county man seeking the office. At the time these gentlemen signed this
telegram they told me that there was no candidate in Wilkes county seek
ing this office but that if anyone in Wilkes county did become a candidate
thev would endorse and back the Wilkes county man.
I have been acquainted with J. C. Reins, J. G. Hackett, F. C. Tom
linson T B. Finley arid J. A. Rousseau for a number of years and I
know that they have at all times had the interest of the Democratic party
of Wilkes county at .heart and have been active Democrats and loyal to the
Democratic organization of Wilkes county.
I notice that the name of Mr. C. T. Doughton did not appear as one
of the signers of the telegram. Mr. Doughton, cashier of the Deposit &
Savings Bank, and son of Hoi). R. L. Doughton, congressman of the 9th
cOTgressional district of North Carolina, signed the telegram endorsing
me and signed this telegram as chairman of the Young Peoples’ D«no-
cratic Club of Wilkes county. I have known Mr. Doughton for a num
ber of years and know that he has been an active Democrat and is loyal
to the Democratic party of Wilkes county, where he has been living
for se)^^^ tTSpeat, so that the voters of Wilkes TO^y w^know
the true facts concerning the political advertisement, that I did not seek
the office of deputy marshal and would not have accepted this
it been teiufered to me at that time. I have been reliably raformd
^Ka» the office of deputy marshal is still open and that there has been
„o .ppointment made for this county.
