DENIES THE STATEMENT
OF COL. W. O. DEAN.
Slicitor Gamble Says It Is Not Cus
tom in Western Circuit to Give
Solicitor Only One Term.
TO THE WHITE CITIZENS of THE
WESTERN CIRCUIT:
My opponent in liis recent adver
tisement claims that it Is the cus
tom of the Western Circuit to elect
the Solicitor General for one term
of four years. It is not the custom
in this circuit to elefct the Solicitor
General to only one term of four
years.
Judge Brand held TWO terms—B
years.
Judge Russell held TWO terms 8
years.
And others held the office longer
than one term. Mr. S. J. Tribble
was defeated by Mr. Clifford Wal
ker. Mr. Walker did not offer for
re-election. This did not establish
the custom of one term for Solicitor
General.
It has been the custom in Georgia
In all offices front the lowest to the
highest that service to the people is
the'first essential and prerequisite
to entitle one to re-election. I am,
therefore, asking that law-abiding
God-fearing citizens of the Western
Circuit to say on the 12th day of Sep
tember by their ballots whether they
will reward me for the efforts that
f have put forth in endeavoring to
suppress crime and lawlessness in
our circuit.
I have endeavored after defendants
were tried, convicted and sentenc
ed to the penitentiary to prevent the
Prison Board and the Governor par
doning them. I stand for a stinct ob
servances of the courts’ sentences
and decrees in felonies and high
crimes without their being interfer
ed with by the Prison Board and the
Governor.
Due to my courts being in session
.and in view of the extraordinary Mo
tion for New Trial that has been fil
ed by J. W. Griffin and his counsel,
1 will tyj unable to see the voters
in person from now until the elec
tion as I would like to have done.
The Griffin case is of paramount im
portance at this time. Everybody is
familiar with the wrecking of the
Athens Trust and Banking Company,
and the money the widows, the or
plians, the blind and others lost in
that bank, and I cannot neglect my
duty in preparing an answer to this
Extraordinary Motion in order tc
electioneer. I, therefore, plead witl
ty stand by me and aid me in en
deavoring to enforce the law' and pro
tect the rights and liberties of our
citizenry.
I trust that you will take care of
my interests on the 12th cf Septem
ber while I am In the Court house
fighting your battles and endeavor
ing to get the verdict and sentence
of this famous case sustained and
executed.
Thanking you for your past support
and believing that you will reward
me on the 12th of September, 1 beg
to remain,
Your servant,
John B. Gamble.

dent is considering a public appeal tc
