THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
TUESDAY, AUGUST «. 1507,
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC!
I had hoped that the race for Alderman from the Third
ward would be finished without any card writing to the public or
any unnecessary letters to the voters denying false rumors that
are usually circulated in campaigns of this kind, but my 'oppo
nent, or his friends, have seen fit to circulate several false'rumors,
all of which, are absolutely without foundation whatever, and
done simply and solely for political effect, among which are:
First: That I would attempt, if elected, to raise the license
of all soda water, stands in the city to the sum of $500 per an
num. v
Second: That while in the building business in Atlanta for
eleven years, before my election to the office of City Building
Inspector, I had used negro carpenters 'on my buildings.
Third: That I had opposed and always fought union labor.
Fourth: That I was out of the race for Alderman..
Fifth: That I had used my office as City Building Inspector
to further my private interests.
I wish to deny positively any and all of these rumors as' ab
solutely .false and without any foundation whatever. In-the first
place, it never entered my mind to raise licenses of any kind, or
class of business.
In the second place, during my eleven years’ experience as a
contractor I used white carpenters exclusively, and never had
a negro carpenter on my pay-roll in my life.
Third: I have never opposed union labor in any form what
ever, but always in employing my men employed them according
to their ability and experience ns skilled mechanics, without
ever asking the question as to whether or not they were union
men. I do know that a number of men employed by me for years
belonged to the union, and at one time the President of the Car
penters ’ Union was in my employ.
Fourth: I am not out of the race for Alderman from the
Third ward, and will not be until after the election Wednesday
night, at-which, time I expect tp be elected.
Fifth: During my term of office as City Building Inspector
I faithfully and impartially enforced all laws pertaining to that
office without fear or favor, and have never received the benefit
or value of one cent, directly or indirectly, other than the salary
thereto attached.
This card will be unnecessary to my friends who know me,
but I write it for the purpose of letting those who do not know
me see to what steps some men will go in order to be elected to an
office. Respectfully,
FRANK A. PITTMAN,
Candidate For Alderman From Third Ward.

has already covered about 120 acres, have
been phenomenal, according to the reports

LINE ....
Are you in that discouraged line of
men who week after week find
that their pay envelope and their
expense accounts come out just even?
The one ray of hope of something better is the
Savings Bank. It trains men to.make the pay
envelope do a little more than just pay each
week’s bills. It helps you to save some portion
for a “rainy day.”
