Two Candidates Were Running

Will Do in Few Days Not Likely

Judge Clark's Announcement in
- Fllll.'
The entrance of Chief Justice
Walter Clark Into the senatorial
race will have the effect, 11 was
agreed today, of giving North Caro
lina a mild campaign next summer,
when the various candidates for tne
honor get on the hustings. With
only Senator Simmons and Governor
Kitchin In the race, it was expected
that the hottest fight ever waged In
the state ., would follow, but with a
third candidate the situation is en
tirely altered. It is not improbable
that former Governor Charles B. Ay
cock, who has been besieged to en
ter, will announce his decision in a
tow days. With three or more can
didates entered, .Messrs. Simmons
and Kltchiri,' strong '""political foes,
will not wage the campaign they
would likely wage were they the only
contestants, but both gontlomon will
so conduct their campaigns as to
mako It possible to draw strength
from the other In the event of the
elimination of cither after the first
primary. Hut the, campaign will be
warm enough it will simply not. be
as acrimonious as if only two hitter
political enemies were -making the
light.
I'ridyldy One .More.
'There shotlld be only one . more
candidate in the field. Former Gov
ernor Aycock is the 'titan most dis
cussed in this connection. Mr. K.
J. Justice, of Greensboro, who was
thought to he grooming for the race,
is not expected to enter. Judge
Clark and Mr. Justice think along
tne same line. Hoth are avowed pro
gressives, and Mr. Justice could hope
Tor no support other than that winch
Chief Justice Clark will got tram
those people who agree -with him. II
Mr. Aycock should enter, political
alignments would be changed some
what, for the ex-governor would take
some support from all of tne other
three. How the campaign would re
sult no man can loresec. but It may
bo taken for granted mat each of the
three entrants is- .satisfied with his
chances or else he would not talk,

Representatives of the lumber in

the senate finance committee in op
position to the Canadian reciprocity
bill.
Geo. W. Jones, of .Norfolk, de
clared reciprocity "should not be

were W. B. Roper, secretary of the
North Carolina Pine Association; A.
