Is 26 Years Not Long Enough for One
Man to Hold a Lucrative County Office?
A
| L A CARD FROM
W & HenryM.Wood
o 7 w gL As is generally known, I have offered for
- v : the office of Tax Receiver of Fulton County,
i b e 4 4| and have associated with me Paul 8. Pause
| T ‘| and W. Tom Winn.
B e . We have endeavored to conduct this cam-
B ;-; g paign on a high plane, free from any bitter
| T & | ness or criticism whatsoever.
| o . But as the present incumbent has appeared
. | recently in the daily press and based his claim
| ' | . for re-election on his proficiency, I think it
‘ A | but proper for me to state that in case lam
‘ - | elected you will be equally wel served as
7 ' in the past. My uniform courtesy and ability
is a guarantee as to the manner in which the- office will be conducted.
The present incumbent has held this office for the past 26 years, and,
in fact, Mr. W. H. Abbott, who opposed him two years ago, used the argu
ment that 24 years ought to satisfy Mr. Armistead. Mr. Abbott himself has
held a clerkship in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court for the past
12 or 15 years. The following appeared on the campaign literature of Mr.
Abbott two years ago:
“MR. T. M. ARMISTEAD, PRESENT ENCUMBENT, HAS
HELD OFFICE FOR 24 YEARS - SHOUL®D HE NOT BR SAT
ISFIED?”
Strange to say, Mr. Abbott is now on the ticket of Mr. Armistead and
begging his friends to again elect Mr. Armistead, thus giving him 30 years
in office. Two years ago he thought 24 years was enough for Mr. Armi
stead, and now he wants to make it 30 years. ,
During the past several years Mr. Armistead has constantly had two
of his sons in office with him, thereby preventing other worthy young men
from getting jobs which rightfully belong to them. For some reason the
names of Mr. Armistead’s sons have not appeared on his campaign cards.
We most respectfully submit, in all fairness and sincerity, that some one
else should have a chance at these public offices, and that no one man and
his family should sit astride these opportunities for the promotion which
should be equally distributed among the people. :
I respectfully ask your support, and promise if elected that you will not
suffer for lack of efficiency and courtesy.
Yours Very Truly,
HENRY M. WOOD
Candidate for Tax Receiver
. Vote for Mangum and
show him and his deputies
that you appreciate
promptness, courtesy and
efficiency.

(1) For the last ten years I have been boosting for (‘;Q()T)
ROADS—and, as a County Commissioner, T would be in a
position to do a:great deal for the advancement of GOOD

(2) I want the youngsters of Fulton County to have the
very finest opportunities for a thorough education—and, as

better schools and a University High School. :
3) Many streets of ‘Atlanta and subnrbs and the four main
highways leading into Atlanta need fixing, and need it ur
gently. As a County Commissioner, T could and would in

(4) While it is true that conviets have wronged, it is also
wrong to treat them in an inhumane manner. Two w rongs
do not make one right! As a County Commissioner T would
see to it that the convicts are humanecly treated, properly
housed and substantially fed! 1 believe that JUSTICE
