WH HENDRICKS DID, NOT
CONTINUE ilTHE RACE
.,-t..v
I have had so many enquiries why
I did not continue in the race . forW. A.- West substituted. It is true
representative, I have thought, in
justice to my friends, a short expla
nation would be in order.
, First, I was not a self -constituted
candidate. I had been asked to run
by people from all over the county
and from different parts of the
State, and this request came from
both, political parties. Friends from
different sections voluntarily propos
ed my name. The only reason I per
mitted my name to be used was that
I believed I could be of some real
service to the people of Madison
County. My former acts had been
for the common good of the people,
which seemed to conflict with the
Srivate interest of a few people, who
eeame very vicious to my candida
cy, and succeeded in fooling some of
my friends.. Lata Saturday .evening,
May zz, a number or mends came to
my office and stated that Parties were
flooding the county with false reports
anout me, and were greatly preju
dicing the minds of people against
me, and unless these highly colored
false representations could; be i run
down that I would be "slaughtered"
in the ' primary' . Court convened
Monday and I explained that in jus
tice to my clienta that I could not be
a went irom court, , and that I was
utterly, unable to peddle over tHe
Caunty from house to house for the
r irpose f running down and tontra
ducting false and fraudulent repre
sentations. I very reluctantly told
the parties to do as they liked,-but
I could not believe . that conditions
were as bad as represented. I had
rot been out in the County, but I be
lieved a large majority of the neo-
je were for me. I did not know un
til some time Sunday that my name
