There on 1 the very top of the still unfinished smokestack were a group of workmen ' pulling off a song and dance act, 200 feet in the air.

Deese, w ho had quali 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.
