CARD FROM MR. J. M. H TILING
To the Citizens of Harris County:
For what reason 1 do not know, the
rumor persists that Mr. J. H. Hadley
is making the race for Sheriff for the
purpose of giving me a place as his
deputy. In justice to the candidates
for this office, I take tins method of
saying to the public that I have no in
clination or desire to held any office
in Harris county other than that of
Chief of the County Police. If I
wanted the Sheriff’s office I certainly
would have nerve enough to say so
in the usual way. I, like every other
good citizen, have my preference for
who should serve the people as Sheriff
and I expect to vote my convictions
But I wish to make it plain that 1
have nothing to do with Mr. Hadley’s
campaign, and am in no way connect
ed therewith.
I might add that I have been ap
proached by a delegation of influential
citizens who sought to persuade me to
enter the race for Clerk of the Super
ior Court; but I positively and abso
lutely refused to entertain the sugges
tion for the reason that I have no
desire whalever to get into Harris
county politics.
Respectfully submitted,
J. M. Huling.
