Announcement. To the Voters of Decatur County: 1 hereby announce my candidacy for the honorable position of Judge of the City Court, subject to the result of the white primary. I make this announcement with many misgivings as to my competency to ac ceptably fill this important and trying nosition. To properly adjudicate the rights of the intelligent' citizens of this great anil prosperous county might well tax the brain and heart of any man. I can only promise that if ho-ot«d In y< ur choice I will bring to the discharge id my duty eyery taoulty of my being and wi'l feanessiy and impartially dis charge the same, as God gives me the wisdom to see. and the power to per form it. 1 have no criticism to make on eit er of the other gentlemen who are candidates for this position, save ta say that if rlis'inguishod by your choice, I shall the moie highly esteem the honor because chosen before such able compet itors, and if beaten by either. I shall find in such defeat no sting ot disgrace, hut shall continue to practice my profes sion with grateful recollection of those friends who voluntarily bestowed upon me their confidence and support.
