To White Voters of Decatur
For some months my friends
from all sections of the county
have been insisting that. I make
the race for Representative going
so far as to announce my candi
dacy in both papers without my
knowledge or consent. My busi
ness interests have kept me busy
and I have up to this time made
no move in the matter. Now I
sec that one Candidate comes out
for the new county and then a
certain convention was called to
meet in Bainbridge where one
new Candidate was brought, out
and one other formally indorsed,
as against the movement. To
the balance of the county it ap
pears to be a “scrap” between a
small portion of Bainbridge, Iron
City and Donalsonville wherein
considerable Vituperation and
intemperance of speech was ex
emplified.
Now if 1 understand any
thing about the needs of a
county, they want men broad
enough and willing to serve the
interests of the Entire Count y and
not factional interests and on ac
count of continued solicitation on
the part of my friends 1 here
and now submit my name to the
consideration of the voters and
earnestly request your support,
promising if elected to serve
you with all my ability, to
know no faction, to work for
the interest of the County ns a
whole and to assure you that I
will go absolutely untrameled
and under the domination of NO
MAN or set of men.
My past efforts in behalf of
pure Democracy in this County
is a matter of record.
Thanking my friends for this
high testimonial of confidence.
I earnestly ask your support.
Respectfully
