Mr. N. E. Pepper, Editor,
Danbury, Reporter,
Danbury, N. C.
Dear Mr. Editor:
Plleose allow me »pace in youi !
t
paper to correct an erroneous im.
pression of Mr. Dallas C. lviiby
independent Democratic candkluu
for Congress.' In the la.n issue "!
your paper, be stated that I had
said, in referring to the- payment o(
' the soldier's bonus, that payment
Should be made "If possible." ( do
not know where Mr. Kirby reortv.vl
his Information, but I wish the
'People to know that I have at no
time used the worcht "If possible.''
In my platform, which, of course, 'j
necessarily brief, I (have used the
words "pnyrrtent of the soldier's
bonus." In my speeches, I have said,
"The Immedlat* paynntent of the
eoMierV bonus would discharge an
fcstfqtfng obligation, help the ex.
service man and his family, and
eliminate the soldier'* bonus from
politics."
j do not accuse Mr. Klrby of de
liberately misiTprdsenJing me in thi*
matter, 'but I am inclined to believe
that he has been too hasty in acting
upon unreliable information, and
* attempting to make political capital
with the man on this
erroneous and incorrect informs,
lion.
r .
Yours vary truly, •
