My decision to support Mr Aldine Chambers in his race for
Mayor of Atlanta was reached after a careful investigation of
his official record I became convinced that he w r as one of the
most thoroughly informed men connected with the city's as
fairs. He is a man of sound judgment, and that he was prompted
by the best of intentions in all of his acts. At a great personal
sacrifice to himself he has given unsparingly of his time to the

the full approval of the unprejudiced, thinking people of our

To the Voters of Atlanta
When I first knew Aldine Chambers, ten years ago, he was
a struggling young lawyer recently from the country. His stur
diness of character, his ambition to make his way as a lawyer
in the city he had adopted as his borne, his energy and earnest
ness. his thorough and capable attention to such business as I
was able to give him, his sincerity and singleness of purpose, his
straightforward wavs in everything, convinced me that he de
served success, and I knew he would win success
I have known him well all these years, and can say that he
ir worthy of all confidence and trust.
I am satisfied that the people of Atlanta will on next Tues
day make him Mayor.
Respectfully

To the Public:
I have known Mr. Aldine Chambers intimately for the past
two years, our work as members of the City Council having
brought us in almost daily contact, and I am, therefore, 4 in po
sition to speak intelligently of his business qualifications.
There are in the City Council some of the most capable
business men in Atlanta, and of the whole number there is no
one who has a clearer or more comprehensive grasp of the in
tricate and difficult questions constantly confronting that body
than Mr. Chambers. He is eminently fitted for the office of Mayor,
not only by experience and training, but also by his high charac
ter as a man, his strong common sense, his excellent ability and
his readiness and effectiveness as a public speaker.
I know him well, and in my opinion, he will make one of
the very best Mayors Atlanta has ever had.
JAMES R. NUTTING.

Atlanta will honor herself next Tuesday when she puts Mr.
Chambers at the head of this city for the next two years.
Respectfully,
J. C. HARRISON.

scientious belief that your election to the office of Mayor of At

Your faithful, efficient work in Council through the years

ment.

To My Friends:
I have known Mr Aldine Chambers for several years I know
him as a loyal son, his father having lived next door to me, and I
know something of Aldine Chambers' trueness as a son. when his
father was burdened with great responsibilities I admire Mr
Chambers’ type of man, for such men “love their fellow-men '
Aldine Chambers' election as Mayor of this great City of ours means
that we will have a man on the job when you call and will not be
led off to “play marbles” on his way to duty.

To the Citizens of Atlanta.
I am intimately acquainted with Mr. Aldine Chambers. He is a
gentleman in the true sense of the ”.'ord. He is straightforward,
honest and capable; and, in my opinion, has the stalwart character
and business capacity to make as able mayor in every way as At
lanta has had in twenty-five years. R J. GUINN.
To Atlanta Voters:
Mr. Aldine Chambers has been well known to me for many
years. I regard him as an excellent business man, and as a member
of council one of the most useful, conscientious and progressive men
who has ever been in that body.
Mr. Chambers gives careful attention to every matter which
comes before him and brings to bear intelligence, firmness and integ
rity upon every municipal problem with which I have known him
to deal. In my opinion he would make an excellent mayor.
REUBEN R. ARNOLD.
Hon. Aldine Chambers:
Some four months ago I wrote you a letter urging you to enter
the mayoralty race, for I believed that just at this time the city
needed a man in that position who understood the municipal prob
lems, who was in close touch with the city’s affairs, and who really
were such a man. So firmly do I believe in your splendid qualifica
tions for the place that were I not pledged to you in that letter I
should vote for you anyway.
Sincerely hoping you are successful in the coming election, I
am, Your friend,
EARLE E. GRIGGS.

I have watched his public career, and his active work in the

best informed men in municipal affairs in Atlanta. I believe him to
be thoroughly competent to handle the important matters which
will come before the city in the next two years. There is no ques

will make while serving us at the head of the City government.

To Atlanta Citizens:
Man is the noblest work of God, and all men admire a man
who sprang from an humble home and pushed himself forward to
merit the confidence of his fellow-man, and I am constrained to be
lieve that the men in the humble walks of life, like myself, will al
ways honor such a man and be proud to cast a ballot for him. lam
no politician, neither do I belong to any ring, and I appeal to my
friends and to those unknown to me to cast their ballot for Aldine
Chambers for Mayor, the man who has certainly won their admira
tion by working himself up to this high standard, and may the At
lanta spirit be heralded abroad that our new Mayor will be pushing
our City forward in like manner that he has done for himself.

then that we should stand by him on the 15th? F B EAVES
