Mr. W. C. Wright
Thanks Supporters
Newnan, Ga., Aug. 24, 1914.
To the people of Troup County:
I wish to sincerely thank those who
favored me with their support in the
late primary election for Congressman
in the Fourth District.
When I announced for this office
war between the European powers,
inow engaged in a terrific conflict, had
not been declared. I soon realized
that conditions brought about by the
war would prove a serious handicap
in the prosecution of my canvass, and
so it resulted. Many people who
openly expressed themselves as kind
ly disposed toward me and my can
didacy seemed to deem it imprudent
to change our representative in Con
gress at this time. Many others,
however, gave me a loyal support,
regardless of the conditions describ
ed. Profoundly grateful to these
friends, and with no unkind feeling
toward any citizen of the district who,
for one reason or another, voted
against me, I am,
Truly and sincerely,
W. C. WRIGHT.
