Bladen Lowndes) at the expense of party harmony and welfare." Mathias Statement. The statement is as follows: "A press statement of Saturday, from an evidently inspired source, was as follows 'One of the conditions for party leaders said, 'was the complete elimination of Senator 'Republicans generally regard the nomination and election of Herbert Hoover for President and Phillips Lee Goldsborough tor Senator, as the para mount issues of this campaign.

"The party owes a duty to Governor Goldsborough for Senator and Herbent Hoover for President and should have in view the prospects of electing a Republican Governor in 1930. In the face of this duty the brazenly ''adver tised plan of splitting the party and proscribing Senator Weller and his many friends is both foolish and dangerous.
