Being solicited by my friends to
make the race for town Alderman, I
have agreed to offer myself as a can
didate for the office again. I had not
desired to make the race but my
friends have been so insistant that I
felt constrained to obey their wishes.
If I am' elected I promise the people
of Waynesville to give them an hon
est and conservative administration.
I stand for progressiveness in all
civic matters, yet I will feel that
before any important improvements
involving the expenditure of vast
sums of money are involved that the
tax payers be duly consulted.
In offering myself as a candidate
I want the people to know that I
am not 'making a fight for this office,
but I am only offering myself as a
citizen that has the welfare of the
town at heart and willing to do any
thing in my power for the betterment
and upbuilding of our town.
Thanking you for your support, I
am.
Sincerely yours,
