Editor Of the Statesman:
! Dear Sir "A Communication in the last
issue of the Statesman announcing me as a
possible candidate for the State Senate, has
| been received.
Realizing the fact that no man can be nom>
mated or elected to office without personal
canvass, and being comparatively unknown
throughout the Senatorial District, and real>
iz'ng that have no time to spare from my
many private duties to make such canvass,
shall have to decline to enter the contest
for Senatorial honors. I may say this, how
ever, that the paramount interest of this Dis
trict is Agricultural, and as a general rule
the prevailing interests of all communities
| should be placed in the hands of its repro
| sentative men and although farmer NAV
not be versod iu law, he will at least under>
stand the wants of the people with whom he
mingles in the daily walks of life, better than
any other class of men from whom his con>
stituents might select. Such seems to be the
rule with our prosperous neighbors of the
North. With them, controlling local inter>
ests to large extent prevsil in their choice
of public representatives.
L do not claim the monopoly simply for
class to the exclusion entirely of intelligent.
active mon to bo found in every community
men alive to overy material improvement;
but am stating general principle, like one
OF the axoms of the old American party
Americans must rule America"-reprosen-
tative men of prevailing interests should rep.
resent the people where that interest prevails:
hence am glad to geo that in the naming of
candidates for Senatorial and Legislative hon
ors, our agricultural and mechanical interests
are receiving just recognition.
! Trusting that the mantle of Office NAV fall
upon some man who combines intellect with
industry. and thanking my Morgan County
friend for his kind intention and good wishes,
and you, Mr.. Editor, for your uniform kind.
ness, l am very truly yours.
