statement: As to tho race between
Judge Ii. E. Cox nnd Judge . Frank
Bark, for congress, I have had no
intention of taking an active part
in this enmpaigh, desiring to leave
it with those gentlemen to fight out
on a high plane between them
selves
So far ns I know both gentlemen
have as to their own acts conducted
tv high class, clean campaign, but
from rumors now afloat Mr. Walter
Park, a brother of the congressman
instead of following legitimate poli
tics is seeking to aid his brother by
a wide spreading of slander. If he
t ikes t he stump for his brother and
fails to conduct a campaign on- the
samo high plane as is conducted by
the candidates themselves, I shall
meet him on tho stump.
