In The City Is Reviewed
May Enter The Race
For Mayor
To my friends who have ever stood
with me for the good of our city:
I have just returned to tho city of
which I am Justly proud and ba”0
carefully gone over the petitions and
requests that you have sent me, and
in the beginning I must admit that I
am In somewhat a quandary over the
situation which confronts our fair
city today. While away my attention
has been called to the many press
Items regarding the Insurgency move
which fell upon our people a night or
two ago. While in the city of Atlan
ta day before yesterday a very prom
inent gentleman of our fair state
asked mo “Bowden , I thought that
your folks down in Waycross were all
good Democrats, hut I see that some
of your citizens has boon Aroused
to Insurgency.” I hardly know what
to reply to him as I felt that there
ntm»t be some mistake In the nows
Items which went out from our city,
but on returning last night I was in
formed that It was t'rue that some of
our citizens, before mature thought
has come together clandestinely far
tho purpose of subserving our peoples
interest to the Interest of tnreo oi
four candidates.
I want to assure my mends thaf
this Is one of the most regrettable oc
currences that has ever' visited our
cify. I have over foliowod tho ban
ner of democracy, which banner was
flown by the distinguished Jefferson,
Jand I deplore very much that some
| few of our citizens are trying to
•raise the flag of lnihrgency, and are
j trying to bolt all principles of con
scientious and conservative demo
crats.
Now In roply to the petitions In
reference, to my entering tho race
for mayor, I wish to state that I felt
that it was the desire of my people
that I should enter the race for the
Stato Senate, which rsco I Intend to
make, but my people* wishes shall
always stand foremost snd If It is
