Congressman Weaver takes excep
tion to a statement from J. J. Britt
published in the Greensboro News and
goes after the gentleman with his
gloves off. The interview from Mr.
Weaver is said to be a master piece of
convincing evidence.
Mr. Weaver's statement in full fol
lows: "Yes, I have read the recent state,
ment of Mr. Britt in the Greensboro
Daily News. It is of the usual Britt
type. I do not. wish to place myself
on the level of this man by bandying
epithets in the newspapers, in regard
to the controversy in the 10th district.
His unprincipled assertion that I have
acted in this matter from lust of sal
ary, is too low flung to merit reply.
What I may think of Mr. Britt I am
abundantly able to say elsewhere
than in a newspaper. I have tried to
avoid newspaper controversy. His
article of December 24th, I allowed.to
pass, knowing or believing that his
intemperate - language carried its own
'condemnation. But later he had this
same article, with amendments, print
ed in "the Congressional Record, for
the purpose evidently of influencing,
his contest, fn advance of proof, and
to be 'franked' out at the government's
expense. I merely stated in reply in
the Congressional Record some facts
relating to this controversy to meet
the unfair advantage he sought to ob
tain. , But for .this course taken by
him, I should have said nothing, and
presented my case to Congress in thn
contest. He say3 I did not tell the
truth about the decision of the Su
preme court. He stated in the Re.
cord .that 27 illegal unmarked ballots
w.ere counted for me in Buncombe, and
I charged him vith not stating that
the Supreme court had said in te case
of James J. Britt vs. Board of Canvassers,-
that these ballots; were legal
and ought to have been counted. ."Mr.
Britt is the man who. attempted to
palm off a statement on Congress
omitting this vital decision. He had
this opinion before him, when he print
ed his statement, and in the face of it
still contended that these ballots were
illegal.
, "How is an election to be determin
ed, if not by a majority of the legal
votes, cast by the electors? A major
ity of these votes in the Tenth district
were cast fo rme( and Mr. Britt 'lusts
for congressional salary' vhen he
knows that a majority of the voters
did not vote for him. Strip the cas?
of all technialities and get at tile
truth this is all I ask. Facts are th3
essential things. Ho w was the vote?
Who had the actual majority? This
ought to interest the Greensboro News
and Mr. Britt and, but evidently this
essential and vital fact has no attrac
tions for theml If enough legal votes
fbr me are thrown out, then of course
Mr. Britt can be counted in; There
was no statute requiring the congres
sional ballots to be marked. This has
been judicially determined, but still I
must lose a seat in Congress when a
majority of the legal votes were for
me, and if I do not meekly concede to
this man Britt, I am a robber. And
this, although I had nothing to do
with the canvass of the vote. This
was done by the county and state can
vassing boards composed of as honor
able men as James J.,Britt , -I
'Yet 1 fear this is rank treason to
eay that anyone is as ohnorable as
Mr. Britt. He . is obsessed with him
self. His mind is over-wrought. He
no doubt Cannot understand why he
did not get every vote in the Tenth
district cast their ballots against him
why; more than 18,000 voters in the
district cast t.ieir balolts against him
a majority of the voters. His wrath
is awful. It is terrible: It is stupen
dous. It is' immeasurably immense.
He hands out his denunciations with
startling terror. Who can stand be-
gore the wrath of this man, who ad
vertised himself in the - daijy press
during the late campaign as 'a states
man without a superior in Washing
ton.' He said President Wilson 'lack
ed vision; did not have the courage to
perior in '..Washington:: . Ij am
to be pitied for faring incurred the
displeasure of this super-dreadnought
among statesmen. ;
And a big Democrat has just fallen
on' his "bosom and wept bitterly wept
over the fact that he Britt, is not to
go back to Congress. It must have
been a big Democrat, for no little
Democrat could have - approached so
stupendous'a figure. Of course, every-
body' believes- his statement' that 93
out of every 100 Democrats are for hfrn
This would leave me a bare 180' in tl"c
Tenth district. I should like to know
the name of this strong Democrat it
would be Interesting to have a picture
of that, affecting scene at Washington.
But Mr. Britt has a penchant for
.... - t
chvming Democratic suDport. This is
his stocy in trade. He always leaves
his Repubilcan brethren out of consid
eration. H is fOTie Demo3?af always.
And yet, ! have had som few .little
Republicans no" big ones, of ,course-.
to tell me that they hoped I would re
tain my seat in Congress.
: "He says ; that I 'bellowed' in my
statement. ; This is wonderful. I
should be glad if those . interested
would compare- - my statement with
Britt's and. say . who 'bellowed.'. All
along he has. bellowed like the 'Bull of
Bashan.' In Met Britt, is getting to
be ' known as the. rCry Baby of the
Tenth,' I have heard Republicans so
express their feelings.
v Iclaim simply this, that I received
a- majority T of the votes cast in - the
district. I was not responsible for any
opinion rendered-by' the assistant at
torney general, and it cannot' alter my
legal Qr moral rights, especially since
the Supreme court has. said all vote3
ought to have been counted, and thai
the, statute dfd not apply to a ticket
with one name only on it. But many
unmarked tickets . were ' counted for
Mr. Britt. The Greensboro News says
I will have to produce evidence from I
Democratic judges' and registrars, and
intimates they would not tell the
truth. Yet. horrible to relate, I have
some voluntary affidavits made by: Re
publican judges both as to unmarked
ballots not having been Counted for,
me, and -unmarked ballots having beon
counted for Britt. The Asheville cor
respondent of the Greensboro , N.iws
some time ago reported In a news item
that a large number of unmarked bal
lots were .counted for Britt in counties
other than Buncombe But this did
not interest the News. As to the ac
tion of the " Buncombe Canvassing
board, I of course, shall not attempt;
to argue the case with Editor Hilder
brand. I regret that my statement
did not throw any light on the subject.
A decision of the Supreme court could
not illumine the mind of the editor,,
upon the vital question, to-wit, the
legality of the ballots. ' The finding of
fact by Judge Adams made against Mr.
Britt In the mandamus suit held no
