“IN BEHALF OF JUDGE PENDLETON”
To the White Voters of Fulton County:
After expressing a determination to relinquish the
judgeship upon the expiration of his present term. Judge
John I. Pendleton was prevailed upon by a caucus of at*
tornevs practicing in his court to allow them to put him
in the race for still another term of office, coupling his con
sent. howe\er. with the expressed condition that the cau
cus should not require him to ask the people for their
suffrage.
Recently I* niton county has been Hooded with circu
lars over the signatures of Charles T. Hopkins. Burton
Smith, and other partial friends of my opponent. Judge
John I. Pendleton, suggesting clever argument win he
should be permitted in public office despite his reluctance
to present his claims direct to the people.
These circulars, in emphasizing the remarkable zeal
and personal activity all these gentlemen have manifested
in procuring votes for their friend, serve to confirm the
platform upon which I have made my direct campaign
among the people of l-'idton county, who are entitled bv
law and b\ natural right to select their judges lor them
sei i es.
The remarkable circular concludes with this peculiar
expression: "In behalf of Judge Pendleton, we assure
you that he wishes your vote. etc., etc., etc. In view of
other expressions contained in the circular. I assume that
Judge Pendleton has conferred upon his caucus the.right
to pledge his assurance, and if these circulars were pub
lished and posted at his personal expense, the pledge of
the caucus has been sealed with his approval.

alone, will approximate $2,000.00. and if borne by the
caucus, creates an obligation that the candidate will find
it hard to repay, if defeated, and still harder to cancel in
good conscience, if elected.
On the other hand, if the burden is ultimately to be
borne personally \v Judge Pendleton, the people are en
titled to know why these frantic, if belated, appeals for
their suffrage were not made by the candidate direct to
the voters instead of through the unnecessary and unusual
intermediary of either counsel or caucus.
I have gone to the voters of Pulton county with a
frank and open statement of my record, views ami pur
poses, and have received enough assurances of popular
support from every class of our citizens to justify the be
lief that 1 will be elected.
II these assurances should fie confirmed at the polls
tomorrow. I will owe my election to the whole people
of Pulton county and will earnestly strive as judge of Pul
ton superior court to di scliarge my obligation to the people
by whom the honor is conferred.
I will feel that the honor has not been bestowed sec
ond-hand. through the channel of any self-constituted cau
cus or committee, and will be spared the gruelling strain
1 hat often comes to all mankind upon the bem-h and else
where of st riving to maintain the balance even, when one
side is already weighted down with a heav\ load of per
sonal pecuniary or political obligation.
My support comes equally from men who work with
their brains and those who labor with their hands, and I
do not conceal the fact that many of ni\ ardent supporters
are disinterested lawyers who have labored b\ mv side in
the courts of Georgia. but no caucus, no committee, and

To the Voters of
Fulton County
Since making my [
announcement for the I
Legislature, I have
endeavored to see Inf lL JKif /
every man in Fulton SR?
County and person- \BbKF' 1
ally ask his vote and BB®
support. But it has
been impossible for J V
me to do this. I hope W ’ /
that this statement v
will be considered as V
a request for the vote 1
and support of all I
have been unable to
see personally. as,,
Fulton County is
ever increasing in
population, manufac KB
turi ii g enterprises
and other lines of BMK
business and in mat
ters of legislation. At \ \
lanta and Fulton '
County have peculiar ’Wa” $
needs. It shall be my
purpose, if elected, at
all times, to stand and work for those measures which are supported by the
sentiment of the people. I shall, therefore be guided by the wishes of the peo
ple; the people are, and of right should be supreme in all matters affecting
their general welfare.
If you give me your support and elect me to the legislature, I promise
you that I will not prove ungrateful or recreant to your trust and confidence.

fied as a candidate, withdrew after the
legislature had authorized the creation
of the new county of Bleckley, he be
ing a resident of the north part of Pu
laski.
no one save myself has. or can have, authority to pledge
my assurance on any subject.
On this platform I earnestly and respectfully solicit
the vote and support of every citizen of Pulton county
who believes that the courts, like other departments of
public government, should be administered bv and for
popular rule.
I shall not dignify by discussion the unworthv refer
ences to myself copiously advertised by the caucus'bureau
in the Sunday papers, further than to say that by the
adroit use of the printer's art it was made to appear that
tiie circular was signed by the citizens whose names ap
peared henealh the ads.
Many of these citizens have promptly assured me
that their names were used without their knowledge or
consent, ami accounted for by the explanation that their
names were advertised ‘merely as a campaign commit-
Jee" appointed by the caucus.
1 believe Judge Pendleton should and will repudiate
responsibility for the unfair, hitter and personal attacks
upon even his opponents for oiflee.
If I over-estimate his sense of justice and fair plav,
I believe the people, who are properly the final arbiters tn
the election, will by their votes overwhelming!v rebuke
the caucus lor its conduct and right the wrong attempted
against one who was never made the target of ambuscade
until he asked the aid of his neighbors in his honorable
ambition to attain an honorable office.
Respectful ly,
