He issued a mollyfying statement to the effect that Senatorial duties would keep him in Washington, that his physical strength would not per mit him to carry on his Senatorial duties and at the same time engage in an active campaign, and that he had no money to finance a state-wide campaign. There is not a scrap of fight in the announcement of his candidacy. The nearest reference to the last Presidential campaign is the state ment that more than a year ago he announced he would be a candidate for re-election to the Senate. That announcement was made in the midst of the Presidential campaign, when the Senator was actively opposing the election of Governor Smith, the Democratic nominee for President. (While making it clear that he re gards himself as strictly a Democrat the Senator treads very softly There is only the faintest suggestion that he still regards, himelf as leader of the Democratic party in North Caro lina. This is expressed in the hope that nothing may occur in the cam paign to create or revive division in the party ranks. The announcement makes it clear that Mr. Bailey or any other op ponent w’ill have to take the fight to Simmons.

The Royster company’s business in eastern North Carolina made it nec essary for the company to build a factory at Wilmington about a year ago and Mr. Parnell’s promotion in dicates that he has had no small part in increasing the business of the company to the present proportions, since he has represented the com- pany_ over several counties.
