Mr. Woodward's Staiomant.
Ills statement follow*:
To tb<* People ».f Atlanta:
In Jufttlre to myN'-if and on urrount
of the esteem that I have for the peo
ple who -have i frequently honored
n»e. I desire, without further reason,
and with no suacosMon of apologetic I
truckling to indite this statement to
the grn*r»l public.
Recently 1 have been mrul*- the vic
tim of probably the most unjust as
ue|| M |i the most cruel pollttoal war
Hint was ever waged ufam a < It Iren.'
Norn' that 'certain forces have succeed
ed in -*hfU they moat desired, to wit:
to secure control of the city govern
ment at a time when It votild better
serve their plans. I sup|s»se that «
forbearing and thoughtful people will
rein) and weigh what I may here
write with calm and dispassionate
Judgment.
A Word to ths Papers.
The Incident which was employed
against nte In order to envoi upua* my
defeat for mayor after iny third nom
ination. (the regularity of which so-,
lection had never been questioned)
should have never been used to my
hurt, and I tru.-t. .or the sake of
home life In Atlanta that no paper
will mIiow ho llttb regard for the In
nocent and so lit11«. concern for the
delicacies ns to publish any like Inci
dent against nrty other living man.
In the midst of the active cutnpnlgn
1 addressed a card to the people In
which 1 assured them that mv pr*a-
mu-e nt certain houses under the
Washington streef viaduct -vu* neither
Illicit nor Improper. That statement
wi»h not full and clear ns I would
have made it hail 1 hern fr- e from
the critical scrutiny of nn opposi
tion that wag ready to dUrrudlt any
thing that came from my pen. Fur
this-.reason I did nut go into matters
of detail.
Talks Frankly of Inoidsnt.
Now that the campaign Is closed
and my, worst enemy Is sat failed. I.
wish at a time when political patch-
work Is not needed to hrlelly and
frankly give t » the fieople mv reason
for being at the place named.

mant af this nceessary evil wAs u mattet

"Moralists" and ftsalty.
I toad reason ti> l»*ll«vr that the
nioaHtsed desire to help the aoelal Ilfs
of Atlanta by running tlieae houses from
this partleulsr strset was not the real
purpose of the so-called moral campaign,
mol that It wan luslduously begun by
sugasathm of men who are y®t In tin*
ImckariHiitd. On the other hand the Ini
tiative In this movement was due to the
mpaclty of capitalists who nasded the
ground on which some uf these lotuses
are .liullt. and who knew that If they
could Is* run away, tt wuuld greatly
reduce the market value of the same, In
which event they would be the tumetl-
claries Within the | M st Pm days I have
had (Ids view oorroljorated by the report
that a leading real estate dealer has al
ready made overtures to one of these
owners In behalf of a moralist at
tcreat •
imrlng my second administration
ntayor these same houses were under
criticism, and before entering upon the
work of building the Washington street
Viaduct I called It* consultation Alder
men gullllan and Unutirllmnn Martin,
who were Hie mcmls-rs represnnttng the
ward most affected, and also discussed
the matter with the beard of police com-
intastnners^and I. was the cottcensua of
opinion tltat tlo-sc houses should remain
where-they were until tlie natural growth
of tin* city forced them sway. Person
ally. 1 was averse to scattering them ovoi
the city.
Reason of Visit.
Theee Itelng tit*- Impressions that were
In control of my mind at the time, ntul
desiring to leave tin- city the following
day for a short sojourn In Florida, with
er I had planned to go on account of fall
ing health. 1 visited these houses, on ths
evening named and. s.-eldng out tho
matrons talked n few minutes to each In
order to learn where they hiten«ted going
If a change were ordered, nnd whether
eertaln capitalists were consnt-lng to ae
cure their property under the closk o
moral welfarr.
II aAtUfled myself that both reports
Were correct, and with this wtnuMncnt put
the people on noth* that much harm Is
likely to result front aov move that will
cause throe houses to coutandnate the
atmosphere of other localities.)
My conduct on the «»i-t.»lon of thl*
visit, which I considered one of official
Inquiry, was not bolutermm. os lias Itecn
reported, nor was It otherwise emits r-
raosed by Improper dlstttay. I was a
party to no pnwonnl row uetlluM' did 1
wltneas any riotous behavior on tlm part
uf another. The Incktant was magnified
for political effect, and now that point-
clans liave nuteil tbelr reward at the
expense of a disrupted primary ami to
the need loos advertising of our great
city. 1 trust that all the people will do
(dimple Justice by considering this final
• atatemrnt ftom oik who. whatever his
peraocal faults, has given to Atlanta hon
est and efficient public service Sincerely
WOODWARD.
