Candidacy For the United States Senate
Xetres It to Els Friends.
Special to Journsir
Rauuoh, Aug. 18. Democratic State
Chairman Simmoos today Issued the fol
lowing: - Vs v , ' -
To the Democratic voter of North
Carolina: More than a year ago, in reply
to a latter written to me by he editor of
the Ashevllle Cltlien Inquiring whether
would be a candidate for United Btstes
Beaite to -eucceed Hsrion Butler. 1
stated Iwas a candidate and would be
profoundly grateful to the voters of my i
party If they should see fit to elect me to
that exalted position. My reply to the
Citizen was not only published . In ..that
paper, but generally, copied by the press
throughout the state. - This declaration
together with the general understanding
that I was a candidate, I had : supposed
would preclude the necessity of anj
further announcement of my candidacy,
but letters of inquiry upon this subject
recently received would seem to make
it proper for me to again make the an
nouncement of my candidacy before the
primaries to be held Mot. 8th.
As Chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee my first duty will be
to the party, and from now. until the
election in November I shell devote mj
time almost exclusively to the work ol
aiding the election of Bryan and Steven
ton and the Democratic nominees for
Congress- I shall therefore have little
lime to devote to the promotion of my
own interests. After the campaign It
thoroughly organized I may be able t
make a few speeches, but they will 1
made for the party and its nominees
Under theseclrcumatanoes I commit my
cause to my friends and supporters in
the different couuties and precincts with
entire confidence that they will not per
mit it to suffer from neglect, either in
caarass or at the polls.. If their efforts
are In vain I aball be none the less ap
proclatlve. If they are rewarded with
success I cannot better attest my grati
tude than by bringing to the dlschargt
of the duties that will devolve upon me
all the virtues of head and heart that 1
may possess.'
