Robert R. ("Bob") Reynolds
Candidate for U. S. Senate
Democratic Primary June 5
Reynolds Campaign
Going
Strong
Raleigh April 26,?With the Statf
Democratic Convention only a lev
days away, the political atmosphere if
distinctly more intense, in Raleigh
the Convention makes no nominations
but it is a gathering of the 'faithful'
and their coming always awakens in
terest. Quiet a number of leading
citizens from anumber of counties
have been in town during the pasi
few days and the unanimous openioc
is that "Bofi" Reynolds is making s
canvess that counts. Even those whc
are pledged to vote for the presenl
incumbent?Lee S. Overman?acknow
ledge that Reynolds has been making
much progress. Of course, these
same individuals insist that they are
getting ready to stop the Reynolds
procession, but so far they have not
been able to do much.
- ... _1_ 1_
One or tne state omcmia naiu iccently
that Reynolds had certainly
tilt the popular mind and made a
distinct impression. Everywhere Bob
soes, he finds the ready ear and open
mind of the people. It may be thai
the "Old Guard" is determined tc
keep Reynolds from the Senatorial
chair?but the people do the voting
said a leader in one of the eastern
counties.
"Bob" Reynolds will be in Raleigh
this week?ready to meet friends 01
Dpposer, right on the central ground
His friends will be at the Conventionmany
of them.
"After all Is said" remarked one
sf the Mecklenburg county visitors tc
Raleigh," why wouid It not be a good
idea to nominate Reynolds? He is
equal to the task, he is in the prime
of life, he is a man of convictions and
a hard fighter. Many of the Mecklen
burg voters think it is a good time
to send a new man to the United
States Senate."
A prominent Labor leader says thai
Reynolds is "Just the sort of mar
that the people delight to honor." A
woman, begining to think seriously ol
lolities remarked Saturday that she
thought the women of the State should
give Reynolds a solid vote-maybe thej
will not , make it "solid" but judging
from all reports, Reynolds will gel
a good vote amongtha women, especi
ally those who remember their hare
fought battle for the suffrage.
