connected with it at all. But it
is written in behalf of a friend,
unsolicited. This risrht any cor

objected to have this right if they
want but it is unfair and untrue
to put Mr. Britt down as this or
that bank's candidate. The
friends of Mr. Britt who put his
name before the people had it in
mind to beat both factions and
any otner reason assigned for
bis being in the race is a misrep
resentation. The main object
was to beat all of those whoare
considered factional candidates
and to elect a people's mayor. If
these same men who are objected
to by Mr. Britt 's enemies had re
mained in the race it would have
been two scalps that the inde
pendent voters would have taken
rather than one.
Everybody knows "J" Britt
too well and no man should so
far forget himself and all sense
of fairness as to, say he is any
private men or institution's cand-
No one should dare to so
pervert the truth. A thousand
times would 'J" Britt rather his
name had been left out than to
have any man make any such
charge against him. It may be
politics for his enemies to claim
this and try to use it against him
but it is unfair and untrue. If
any one fails to vote for Mr.
Britt on such misrepresentation,
knowing the man as they do,
they are hard up for an excuse
to defeat so honest and so worthy
a man.
