MFs W naAAey'h Reasons Tor Not Being
Delegate Personal.
Mr.. G. 3. Whatley wishes it understood
that in declining to serve as a member
Of the congressional delegation elected by
the democratic mass meeting, he has not
gone back upon or withdrawn from the
Liberal Club. To a Morning News re-
porter yesterday. Mr.. Whatley said:
The impression seems to have gotten
out among my friends that my declining
to serve on the congressional delega ton
Is recognition of the uncertainty of the
democratic mass meetings. delegates be-
ing seated in the convention, and that
had gone back on the Liberal Club This
is a mistake. My reasons are purely per-
sonal, without any political significance
Whatever. / wish to say that l am with
the Liberal Club, If l live, until il wins
as ] believe it TO be the only true democ-
racy Of Chatham county, as ] understand
1t. That our cause will ultimately tri-
umph in October next / have not the
slightest doubt provided we stand to-
gether shoulder to shoulder, in the cause
of right and truth and make no blunders
I sincerely appreciate this honor, the
second time conferred upon me, as 1t is
a source of qualification to feel that I
have the continued confidence and esteem
Of a cons tituency, whom to serve should
be ones highest honor.
