Vex the people of Georgia with an un¬
timely canvass for the nomination.
' Having served the
state a# speaker
of the house or representatives and us
president of the senate, I have felt a
sincere and, I trust, a pardonable de¬
sire to receive at their hands the ailcieu
trust which callows the next promotion
in public service, the office of gov¬
ernor,
"it la an honorable position, and one
to which I recognize tho right of every
citizen to aspire. My purpose in giving
early expression of my intention to uv
come a candidate was to take the pub¬
lic fuiiy into my confidence and to in¬
vite the democratic voters to retrain
from committing - their support tv any
candidate until full opportunity hint Ut-n
