It Is necessary for me to say but

“I feet sure that the public under-

Iidgrd fairly whether T or the man-

ubfut not yet hinted at. In public, and
conduct has proved that this Is no
mpty sssertInn.
"At the same time there has been
i''thing In my connection with the ae-
viatlon that I am ashamed of or un-
llling that the public should know, If
cures to.
It Is now two months since I was
ated from the supposedly responsible
osltlon of secretary—since I wa*

who are stockholders, have re-
•ledly Insisted that I should make a
' statement of the,facts In Justice
self.
The public know*, without my lall-
tt. that I am as much responsible
the building of the Speedway as
other one man. It la true I did not
tupply th» money, and Mr. Candler, Sr..

try directors who now ask me to

hard share of the planning and
erlt that fell to my hands. I had
so put considerable money Into the
iittMTrlse. and. denying me credit for
nythlng but selflah motives, I re
tained from saying or doing anything
might hurt the future prospects of

ugh to think that there are quite a
who will say that the Speedway
lost a good "hired man,” anyway,
In these days of scarce labor Is
