HAS FORMALLY ANNOUNCED FOR
THE OF1FICE OF COMPTROLLER
GENERAL OF THE STATE.
The following communication go
the Banner from Hon. ri. P. Dobbs, of
Marietta, is self-explanatory:
Marietta, Ga., July 2»th, 1916.
To the People of Georgia:
Some time ago my name was cas
ually suggested by a number of news-
papers of the state as a possible can
didate for comptroller general and
ex-officio Insurance commissioner, to
succeed Hon. Win. A. Wright. This
published suggestion has, for the past
several weeks, overwhelmed me with
letters from cltlxens of all sections of
Georgia, with many of whom I am
personally unacquainted, urging me
to become a candidate for this most
Important office, bat I have been re
luctant to enter the race on account
of the age and Infirmity of the pres
ent Incumbent who has held this po
sition for forty years.
Facts brought to my attention by
some of those correspondents have
convinced me that these very condi
tions make it imperative that this de
partment should be administered by
an active official, who can bring tc
the dlecharge of the responsible du
ties of the tax and insurance offices
of the state, good health, modern
methods, energy and activity.
The admitted record ot unfortunate
results following the administration
of this department for the past tee
years will. In my opinion, amply il
lustrate an absolute public necessity
ter a new comptroller general and in
surance commissioner, and the in-
etallstlon-of energetic and progress
ive methbds for these combined de
pertinents.
Having been successfully engaged
for more than twenty years In ths
manufacturing business In the city
of Marietta, and having been at dif
ferent times connected with the op
oration and administration of the af
fairs ot a number of other Industrial
and public enterprises, my friends In
sist that my business experiences
are such that I am fully qualified to
discharge the responsible duties oi
this office, and that I can render to
my state and Its people a measure of
efficient public service Which has
not characterized the conduct of the
business of this most Important de
partment of the state government for
some time in the past. -
I have, therefore, decided to an
nounce my candidacy for the office
of comptroller general of the state,
subject to the democratic primary to
be held September 13th, next, and In
this preliminary announcement
shall content myself by asking the
support of my friends, and of all
those citizens of Georgia whose re
cent contact with this department
convinces them that my announce
ment is opportune and of those who
believe that there should be a rad
ical change In the administration o!
the tax and insurance departments
ot the state.
I will, at an early date, furnish the
public with the official records of re
sults, above referred to, and which
will astonish the uninformed by die
closing the amaslng number ot pre
ventable losses soffered by .the peo
pie of Georgia on account of tax ad
ministration,—a record in which
Georg»l leads the black-list of all the
states In the onion.
Respectfully,

New York.—W. T. Forbes, Y. M. C.

Mexican border; tremendous need for
service, but must have help of high
grade secretaries; international com
mittee will provide transportation;
wire prospects.—R. P. Kalghn.

meet this afternoon and at that time
tl>j request from the International

possible that matters here may take
a turn that the secretary may be re

Mr. Forbes has In the past*several
years fecelved half a dozen or more
flattering offers from larger cities
take up the work In most promising
fields of effort, but he elected to stand

ferent proposition and It may be that
be can be spared for border duty for
a short time.

lieve It Is only through a responsible
budget proposed by the- executive
that we shall avoid financial waste
and secure proper administrative ef
ficiency, and a well balanced consid

true sense the contest for the preser

We must still be Imbued with the
spirit of heroic sacrifice which gave
us our country and brought us safely
through the days of civil war. We
renew our pledge to the ancient ideals
of individual liberty, of opportunity
denied to none because of race or
creed, ot unswerving loyalty. We
have a vision of America prepared
and secure; strong’ end Jnst; equal
to her tasks; an exemplar ot the ca
pacity and efficiency of a free people.
I endorse the platform adopted by the
