COL. STRICKLAND TO THE
VOTERS.
To the .voters of the Flint Cir
cuit: In my announcement for
Solicitor-General of the Flint Cir
cuit a short time ago, I stated
my i>olicy would be to run a clean
campaign, and it would be a
clean victory or a clean defeat. I
have not whispered in private
anything whatever but what I
have spoken in public. I believe
in clean politics and shall without
a single reflection persue this
policy to the end.
From assurance of support I
have*received from the good peo
ple over the circuit I believe that
I will win the race. The friends
that I have made in the race are
a host and my old ones have
been as true as steel.
I only ask that those who do
not know me investigate my
record in the past.
While going to Mercer, during
vacations I taught school.
When I finished I was appointed
secretai yto Congressman Bart
lett. Resigning from this posi
tion, I then purchased and edited

editing the paper in 1899 I was
appointed a supervisor of the U.

and removed to Griffin to engage

Two grand juries, Spalding and

If elected I will enter the office

Some stores offer you lucky
things some days; here you get
