CONGRESSMAN LEE
WILL BE IN RAGE
Is Considering Offering for
Re-Election Now.
NEWS IS AUTHENTIC
Moved By Action of People of His Dis«
trict, He Will Make The
Race Again.
Congressman Gordon Lee will
make the race for congress again.
This is the first authentic state¬
ment concerning Mr. Lee’s candi¬
dacy for re-election to congress.
It comes from a man who is in
close touch with Mr. Lee and the
person who informed a Citizen
representative of |ir. Lee’s de¬
termination, stated that this pa¬
per could make the announce
ment as positive.
Congressman Lee, who was in
the city, would not commit himj
seif. When asked, lie refused
to state that he would be in the
race; but lie did say ho was se¬
riously considering the question.
Among otner tilings, lie said :
“I have been deeply moved
by many waim expressions of
interest in my course from all
parts of the district, and espe
ciaily the good old counties of
W bitfield and Murray,
everybody seems u> be m *'
Having stated, botn publicly
privately, tliat I did not intend
standing lur eH ctlon again, aha
have made all my bmsi’ness ar
raiigements ac< . nlingly, it is
with reluctance that 1 even con¬
sider a change irum that course.
Nothing but the ccnvi.dio : tlmf
it is my duty to answer tin- call
ot the people and solve men
another term, if they so desire
shall move me to announce ^ or
re.election.
“I am giving the attention
careful and painstaking investi¬
gation and consideration its im¬
portance demands, and will verv
soon give the-good people
have so signally honored me a
final answer.’.
J he person who informed 4 he
Citizen that Mr. Lee would make
formal announcement of his can
didacy within the next few weeks
Knowing the man from whom
this information comes, the Cits
zen is willing to stake its repu
tation as a newspaper that Mr.
Lee will be in the race; and
who have been on the anxious
seat lor fear that Mr. Lee would
not again stand for election can
rest assured that he will.
Mr. Lee has made this district
an ideal representative in
gress. Hard working, determin
liYT Yore h L S 7L‘ l ,!”tn
daring the time he hu terred it
than any other congressman ever
did in the same length of time,
From all over the district have
come requests that he again offer
for election. When any news of
Gordon Lee appears in a news
paper in the district, every other
paper in the district copies it.
It is safe to say that the dis
trict has never bad a more popu¬
lar congressman, and his popu
larity is going to be shown be¬
yond a shadow of a doubt when
his majority is made known af¬
ter the next election.—North
Georgia Citizen.

TO IIMSEHT
Governor Brown Thursday af¬
ternoon commuted the death sen¬
tence of John Harper, convicted
of the murder of Sheriff Keith,
of Murray County and
to be hanged Friday, to life im
pnlonment. The commutation
came after a long and bitter fight
for Harper.
The case has been before all the
state courts and the supreme
court of the United States, While
the courts affirmed the first sen¬
tence each time that it came up
p]eus for execulive clemency
vve ,. (! ma( i e eight times before the
state pardon board. The governor
heard the case a similar number
of times, but it was not until
Thhrsdry afternoon that he de¬
cided tc commute the sentence
of death to imprisonment fur life.
Harper was in the very shad
dovv of the gallows as he had been
respited until Fridap. In addi¬
tion to the last respite he had
been given several new leases
on life.
