Charlotte. Nov. 22 Edgar W. Pharr, of. Charlotte, member c.f Mecklenburg’s delegation in the hojisp of representa tives,' is very mueh ifi the race for the enpekeiship of the nett house, according to a statement issued hero today by Thad deus A. Adams, member of the -local bar, and in an unofficial ( way Phqrr’a cam paign manager. ■ Mr. Adams issued a statement desig nating as "propaganda" stories mostly out of lialeigh that “Air. Pharr will not be elected speaker of tbe next house.” “Farmer Bob” Cog, of Forsyth, is said to be Mr. Pharr’s leading opponent for the house job. although Tam Bowie, c.f Ashe, recently has been mentioned as a contender for the hpnor. Mr. Pharr, according to today’s state ment. mtw lias 69 mej(pbei-H of the next legislature pledged to jniin. And, says the statement, he has their pledges above their signatures. I Mr. Adams has put his calculations in writing, civing thfl number of votes pledged to Pharr in each of the ten con gressional districts. Tlie statement follows: “1 have observed from time to time in tlie various state papers tlie propa ganda principally sent out by Raleigh re porters intimating that Edgar W. Pharr will hot be elected speaker of the next house of representatives. For that rea son I wij state the facts bused upon my own knowledge. I bavo hclpi-d Mr. Pharr in his campaign for mow than a year and 'have therefore kept in dose touch with its progress and have handled my self much of the correspondence. There will be about 100 Democrats iu the next house of whom Mr. Than- has more than (iO comm if ted to him by direct statements in their various letters. “In addition to these positive and in most cases enthusiastic commitments, we have most favorable reports from fifteen others and which would lead any one ex cept conservative map like Mr. Pharr to regard those as certain to vote for him. i “Going by congressional districts, his pledged 'strength is as follows : “First district, five fvotes; second dis trict, three votes; third district, three votes; fourth district, eight votes; fifth district, iu which Mr, Cox lives, 12 votes; sixth district, seven votes; seventh dis trict, seven votes: eighth district, seven votes; ninth' district, Where Mr. Pharr lives, eight, which are all, the Democrat iJiUrtMyI d&fgjjL,'. three votes*. next legislature Will be the fifth consecutive term of Mr. Pharr's service as one of the representatives of Mecklen burg county, and be led our legislative I ticket in the last election. That ex presses what we think of him here, and | excluding the candidates for speaker, I there will be 28 members in the next house who were in the last house and all of them with the exception of four are enthusiastically supporting Mr. Pharr for speaker. That shows what the gentle- I men think who have served with him aqd know his qualifications for speaker. “In conclusion I positively state that Mr. Pharr already has enough votes to make his election as speaker a certainty, and it is my opinion that he will enter ; the caucus with something like 75 votes definitely committed to him if the con test lasts that long."
