To the Editor of Th* News:
Ob roturaiag home today I found a

Av* pointed questions, to wit:
(l> I* it true that 1 you managed the

AJtiwer—A few weeks qfter Harding

arose a a to whether thor* was to bo

1 tank a last chance to etay the damnable

secretary of agriculture. W* had been

our asking his appointment. There was

(I) Is it trur that you did net vote
sos Jos. W t ox. Democratic nominee
for president in IRffO, and opposed
President Wilson's League of Nation*?
Answer—l did not vote for Cox nor
againtt him, nor did - I persuade any
an# elao either way. I quietly passed
him: lot, as I understood it, Cox was"
the exponent of the liquor people. I I
am a prohibitionist in principle aqd
practice, neither I nor my four grown
*onx touch a drop. 2d. If I understand
it correctly Cox has two living wives
- may be not legally. But I hold that
the marriage tie la oocred and must b* '
held a* such by any man who aspire*
for my vote to become president of
tb* United States. 3d. I am not op- j
Posed t* »h* League of Notions *# a
great principle, but doubted th* wis
dom of the guaranty feature of it at
that time while the Japanese army wo* {
still upon Chinese and Rssaian terri

(I) Is it true that you new«-taftrr the 1
position that the League of Nations '
lie Impractical ?
Answer When all eivlliied nation* ]
establish the boundaries according'
with ethnographical lines, and actually
withdraw thoir military forces from
| each others territory then I think that 1
l l *>* League of Nations entirely practical
and will keep all boundaries intact
hene* maintain universal peace. The
groat principle la eminently correct.
(J) Is it or is it not true thot you
voted against the Democratic noniinoos
a few year* ago, and ran aa an Indo
pendent candidate for office
Answer—l have never voted against
Democratic nominees for any office
{whatsoever at any time. ‘However, I
i did run as an Independent for th* leg
islature Un or twelve years ago. but it
was against the Republican party, and
| office holders in the room house, and
not against the Democrats, and the
purpose wss to put asid court house of
j fiferk upon a straight salary, and to
abolish the fe* system, and If it had
not been for a few foolish Democrats
And the very ones who seem to take so
{much di-l.ght In attacking ms now, I
j would have accomplished my purpose.
{However, I did succeed in making them
i abolish the office of county treasurer.'

ocrnlte party of Hsmpson county had

publican party was split wide open as
to whether the oyurt houie officers
who Were all Republicans, should be
put upon s salary basis or remain upon

*d to me that it wss s mighty good
time to save s lot of money for the
