E. H. CLAY ANSWERS
CHENEY'S PROPOSITION
. 5
Prefers for the People of
Marietta to Select Their
Councilmen.
MR. JouN P. CHENEY,
Marietta, Ga.
Dear Sir:—l have read your commu
pication in the Journal in regard to
Factional Politics, and asking that a
committee of ten meet and fix the
ticket of Councilmen. I have never
received your lgtter, consequently you
must have given it to the paper and
not have mailed it to me, According
to my way of thinking, the letter
should have been addressed to me
and I should have replied promptly,
but you deemed proper to go into the
puklic press.
I am not responsible for this early
campaign, I did not intend to an
nounce for Mayor until October. Your
friends and my friends endeavored to
have you with-hold your announce
ment in order that we might have a
short campaign, but you declined to
do gO, The responsibility of this early
campaign rests upon you. lam not
the candidate of any faction. If
elected, I shall be Mayor for the entire
town.
I am not an experienced politician.
I intend to bave on my ticket among
the best men in town. I would not
want to be Mayor without a Council
that would carefully guard and protect
every interest of this city. There is
no money in the office, and I aspire to
to be Mayor because I desire to be use
ful and to make a record and career,
I suggest that I am not impressed
with the plan of five or ten men get
ting together in a back room and fix
ing a ticket for the people of Marietta.
This town is divided into wards, and
every citizen in the town is entitled to
have a voice in selecting aticket. The
men who work in our factories and
shops ; who toil for their daily bread,
are interested in enlarging and main
taining our schools, cheap water and
lights, and I am unwilling to deny
them a voice in selecting the ticket.
I believe in rigid economy in the
expenditure of our public money, and
I want a ticket composed of the very
best men in town, and men who know
the value of a dollar. I never did be
lieve in ring politics; I never did be
lieve ;in four or five men fixing up a
ticket to suit themselves. The labor
ing people of this town are my friends,
and I have not only been their friend
during my canvass, but from my boy
hood. I am not in favor of strife be
tween labor and capital, I am in fa
vor of giving every interest just and
due consideration,
The election does not come off yet‘
for months, After the registration is
completed will be ample time for the
people to get together and name the
councilmen, The people will select
between us in the primary. If youare
nominated I shall accept the result,
and I hope you will do the same, I
am willing to see the issue narrowed
down between us without any contest
elsewhere, but I do insist that the peo
ple in every ward shall have a voice in
saying who shall be on the ticket.
After reflecting, My Dear Mr, Cheney,
I am satisfied that you will abandon
the committee business and agree with
me that the people are entitled to se
lect their own ticket.
Very respectfully yours,
E. H. Cray.

Resolutions Adopted by
Meeting Deploring Acts
of Lawlessness.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed at a meeting of colored people held
Tuesday night at the office of Dr.
Thompson:
“MamieTTA, GA., August 31, 1909.
*lt is not because of any coercive in
fluence, but because of environments
and conditions pstent which prohibit
such constructive contact with the rul
ing element of our town aad county as
wouid, at all times, make clear our
position on all vital subjects of law and
order, we think it well at this time to
publish to the world the following:
““Whereas, During the last few
months an epidemic of crime geems to
have broken out smong the lower ele
ment of our race; and
“Whereas, Notwithst-undinf the in
fluence of our churches, schools, news
papers and best people for right living,
these crimes, sad to say, might be re
peated ; and
‘‘Whereas, These lawless acts have
already disturbed the once pacific rela
tions of the races here, and that such
crimes continued might aggravate the
present feeling to a degree of which we
bate to contemplate ; therefore, be it
‘‘Resolved, That the exigeney of the
times demands that we condemn erime ;
that we do not countenance or uphold
it among our peorle here nor elsewhere,
and thus make’elear our position. |
“Resolved farther, That wecondemn
the recent acts of lawlessness charged
to members of our race in this com
munity ; that we, as representatives of
the better element of our people, in
meeting assembled, do hereby put our
selves on record as forever opposed to
all lawlessness, and especially the un- i
speakable crime against womanhood. |
‘‘Resolved further, That we condemn
and deplore the recent cowardly, un
provoked and murderous attack by a
negro upon an officer in the discharge
of his duty ; that we desire this and all
other law-breakers brought to justice
and punished according to law.
‘‘Resolved further, That we urge our
people more and more to draw a line
between the good and the bad ; tocome
out from among evil-doers and have no
fellowship with the guilty.
‘‘Resolved furthér, That we deeply
appreciate the efforts and success of
the authorities in preventing mob vio
lence against negroes, and that we
stand ready to co-operate with them to
promote law and order among our peo
ple in this community.
