TO OPPOSE
COL. LIVINGSTON
Hon. Jas. L. Mayson, Prominent
Atlanta Attorney, Enters
Race for Congress From
Fifth District.
Hon. Taines L. Mayson, oue of
Atlanta’s most prominent attor¬
neys and influential citizens, made
announcement Wednesday of his
candidacy tor congress from the
Fifth district in opposition to the
present incumbent, Hon. Lon F.
Livingston.
Of Mr. Mayson the Atlanta Jour¬
nal says: “He is universally rec¬
ognized as a man of sterling char¬
acter and high ability. He has
been identified with the local bar
for a number of years, and has
taken rank among the leading
members of the profession. Ap¬
plication and capacity have
b'ought to him the recognition he
deserves.
*
“He has never been particularly
active i.o po'itics, at least in the
less worthy sense of the term, but
has been devoted to the cause of
good citizenship. For many years
he has served as city attorney of
.Atlanta, bringing to that important
office the diligence aud skill su
premely necessary in a public of¬
ficial. He has uniformly dis¬
charged the duties of the position
with credit to himself and with
great satisfaction to the people.”
t » Uncle L ( >n » J has served the
the people of the Fifth faithfully
and well, and Mr. Mayson has a
hard task before him if he expects
to represent his district in congress
while Col. Livingston holds the
reins.
