To the Voters of Polk County:—I have, lor some time, contemplated en tering the race for - Sheriff of' Polk county. I have withheld a public an nouncement for a settlement of the question as to whether or not a white primary would be held tor the selection of county officers, being unable to buy votes, and also opposed conscientiously to vote buying, even if I were able to buv them. That question being settled, since nearly all the people of the county who have expressed* their wishes anil opinions on the subject have pro nounced in favor of a white primary, and the Committee the people elected to manage it have called lor a white pri mary to be held on August the 15th for the selection of county officers, T feel that there is an open field and a fair race for all, whether rich or poor, upon their merits and qualifications for office. I, therefore, announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff, subject to the white primary on the date aboye men tioned. If I am not the nominee of the white voters of the county’ for that of fice, I am for the man who is. If elected. I shall endeavor to show my apprecia tion of the confidence my fellow-citi zens repose in me by making the best officer in my power. My Deputies will be announced later. J. C. Knight. CEDARTOWN, GA.
