We did this in good faith, and without any idea that such an arrangement would meet with serious opposition from the public. Very soon afterwards I published in my card of announcement two years ago, the result of my agreement in so far as it related to myself. From that time until the pre:ent I have been the recipient of cards, letters, petitions and personal expressions running into many thous ands in the aggregate, protesting against my retirement at this time, basing their objections upon the fact that my ser vices in Congress had resulted in much material good to the District, and that my sccumulated experience had better fitted me for further and more useful service. These objections on the part of the people had grown so numerous that in October last, before his resigna tion from the bench, I wrote Judge Wright advising him that my name might probably go before the primary this vear, and I have his answer thereto, If the matter involved in this ﬂgrc(*-l ment between Judge Wright and myself had been one of a private nature, and over which we had fuil control, without reference in our respective duties to the public, the agreement would have to stand in all particulars, so far as I am concerned; but, inasmuch as the matter sought to be disposed of by that agreement was a public office—a public trust—which it was the right and duty of the people to bestow upon whomso ever they deemed best fitted for the service, when the time arrived for mak ing a choice, and that agreement if ad hered to, limited their right toa free and unrestricted choice of their repre- ! sentative in Congress, it is plain to me now, and I presume is equally so to Judge Wright, that we erred in seeking to restrict or to interfere in any way with this free exercise of theirfranchise by our constituents, We were at that time both public officers in the enjoy ment of public honors and emoluments, and under oath to serve the public to the best of our ability, To whatever extent that or any other private agree ment between us trenched upon the rights of the people to choose their own l officers, to that extent we were wrong. ! Impressed with these convictions, and } in order to ascertain definitely and reli ably the views of the people upon the |question as it related to myself, I sent loul a letter of inquiry over the district some months ago, asking if it was the ‘ wish of the people that my name shonld jgo before the primary this vear. The ‘affirmative responses to that inquiry I have been greater in number than any 'candidate for Congress has ever received .E votes at a primary election in this dis trict. Of this fact I am prepared to furnish indisputable evidence. This direct referendum of the question to the ; individual voter, and the reply thereto, left it no longer a matter of doubt in my rmind as to the course I should pursue. If Judge Wright should insist upon the ‘binding force of the private agreement between us, the issue will be between %him and the people who ask that my ' name go before the primary. 1 am in lg dulging the hope that he will not object 'to our giving the people the greatest lpossible freedom of action in selecting i anyone they prefer to serve them in the | next congress, I The people’s will has been, and shall be my law. | I know of no reason why 1 should re ‘fuse to allow my name to go before a primary under these circumstances, nor can I understand how anyone should ob ject, except for selfish reasons, If the people prefer some other representative, they should have the right to say so, and when they have expressed their wishes in this legally constituted man ner, they shall have my instant and cheerful evidence. The profound sense of obligation that I feel to you all for the honors you have conferred upon me heretofore would not permit me, even were I so inclined, to refuse any command you may lay upon me, GORDON ILEL,.

MOSES WRIGHT i # { - 10 HON. GORDON LEE | ‘Says Mr. Lee Promised Not - To Run Against Him 1 For Congress. | The Hon. Gordon Lee, Chickamauga, i G | Dear Gordon: Having read your so 'called announcement, it is clear 10 me |that this open letter should be ad 'dressed to you, and not to the people. Your whole article is .taken up with statements of your solemn promises I’to me and with a ludicrous attempt to explain your right to break them. ; You tell the people, for the first time, ‘about your agreements with me, and then make the remarkable claim that they have instructed you to break them. Don’t try to throw the burden of your broken pledges on the shoulders } of the people. | You wrote everybody a letter about | five months ago; sent them a postalg card, on which to write ‘“‘yes’’ cr‘‘no ”’ l You asked the people to reply by ‘‘re- ) turn mail,”” in order that you mighti make up your mind ‘‘right away.”i That was five long months ago. What | has been troubling you all this time, | Gordon? ' At last you have spoken, but you haven’t yet said what you are going to do. After taking more than a column explaining away your promises, you then say: “If Judge Wright should insist upon the binding force of the private agreement between us, the is sue will be between him and the peo ple, who ask that my name go before the primary. lam indulging the hope that he will not object.”’ What do you mean by this-state ment, anyhow? The people are not responsible for your promises to me, nor for the personal sacrifice I made for you two years ago. But as between you and me, Gordon, there is a lively question of honor, a question of good faith between man and man. | Sow,as to our agreements, which lyou take a column to explain; you could have told it all in a few lines, as follows: You sent the Hon, W, W. Brookes to see me, and I would not listen to Lim until he had come the third time |at your solicitation. When we met in iMr. Brookes’ office there was present Mr. C. A. Hight, your brother-in-law, Iwho is now dead; the Hon. W. W, Brookes and Mr. J. N, King, then your ’warm supporters. You signed your { name to a paper, with these men as iwitnesses, ‘‘pledging your honor’’ not ito run in 1910, but to give me your ac | tive support then. Didn’t you do this, Gordon, The only promise I made was not to foppose you in 1908, I lived up to this 'like a man, | Again, you say that before I resign 'ed from the bench you wrote me that !_vou ‘““might probably run in the pri 'mary.” That was after I had publicly 'announced that in a few days my resig 'nation would be in the hands of the | governor. In reply to this letter I wrote you: ‘‘My action was taken in ‘absolute confidence in your integrity, in perfect reliance upon your state ‘ments, which you say you made both jpublicly and privately, and which, my ’dear sir, you never so much as inti ' mated to me you would not live up to 'until this late hour.” But the most amusing thing to me! about your letter is the statement in | effect that you had referred all ouri agreements to the people and that they | had told you to run anyhow. ‘ Why, Gordon, don’t you know that‘ in that famous “referendum letter and | post card’ you never even intimated | that you had promised not to oppose | me. Gordon, you contradict yourself. 1 You say you ‘‘wrote me in October'’ | that you would probably run. You ; sent out your letter and post cards in | December. You admit, then, that you 1 ‘'made up your mind to run two months i before you ever wrote the people. | But in your letter with the postal card inclosed you know you never said | one word about sending Mr, Brookesi ‘to me and about my refusing to run in 1908 upon your solemn, written prom-i ‘ise not to oppose me in 1910, but to | give me your active support. - This is ridiculous, Gordon. You l say: “It is plain to me now, and I | presume equally so to Judge Wright, | that we erred in seeking to interfere in l any way with the free exercise of their| franchise by the people.’’ Well, well! I Why didn’t you think of this in 1908, | when you got me out of your way? It was all right to get me out in 1908, but | it would be awful to get you out by thel same process in 1910, . In conclusion, I really wonder, myf dear sir, if you think that, if you had | let the people alone, they would ever have insisted on your running? When Jim Nevin, your closest polit ical friend in Washington, more than a year ago wrote a letter to the Tribune, | praising you to the skies, and saying: ‘“‘Send Lee back,”” that was an acci-l ;’” ~ 3 ’ @@@ O ‘ ol : &)\’ .;‘?u' BOY inon, \\ TR or plain food, g -'1 r :“equaﬂy Valv‘;::le e éﬁ?

You had no knowledge of it, did you? When your closest and strongest political friends, more than a year ago, commenced active work to ‘‘create a sentiment’’ for you, and your news paper friends were clamorous in the ‘ same cause,”’ you had nothing to do with it, did you? Now, Gordon, be a man, When you announce, don’t pnt your mistakes on the people. Admit that it was an act of your own free will and accord that you broke your solemn promises to me, There is at least one difference be tween you and me; I say it without boasting. I would not betray a per sonal and political friend as you argue you have the right to betray me—l would not do it to be president, Sincerely yours, MOSES WRIGHT. Stomach Misery For Over Six Years.
