I think it Is because I’ve written and have talked for years To deafening applause. —New York Tribune. 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.
