practicing law. A majority of these
gentlemen support Judge Gober. So.
1T will be seen that this statement is
not supported by the facts. A number
OF those failing TO sign his endorsement,
will support Judge Gober. A majority
of the Marietta bar have not failed to
| endorse Judge Gober. Judge Gobpr
has asked no one for an endorsement
ne has requested no lawyer to give him
any; he has such as were voluntarily
rendered him. Twelve members of the
Marietta bar have given Judge Gober
an endorsement. and majority of
those who have signed no endorsement
| will support him.
The statement is made again that
five of the Canton bar failed to en-
dorse him." Two of these five are
Judge Brown and Judge William A
Teasley. Everybody knows these good
men are not now in active practice of
the law. Mr Latimer lives at Wood
stock. The members of the bar who
did endorse Judge Gober do nine-tenths
OF the work in that county.
The statement that Judge Gober was
only endorsed by one-half of the Fannin
county bar is untrue. He was endorsed
by all these except two members, one Of
whom will vote for Judge Gober.
The bar of Pickens and Forsyt tn coun-
ties have endorsed him, with one excep-
ton, and the statement that they have
not is untrue.
Let us ask Mr. Morris, Where are his
endorsements by che Bar? What mem
bers of the bar want him for Judge?
Where are the grand juries that have
endorsed him? The Marietta bar head
ed by such men as Senator A S Clay,
@ d Phillips, @ II Griffin, II Foster
and others, have not only endorsed
Judge Gober, but are working for his
reelection.
But 1T is not necessary to follow out
the many Misrepresentation and erro-
neOus statements made in this circular,
gotten up as it was for the one purpose
OF endeavoring tomislead the public.
This circular calls attention to an &C.
companying circular, that has, among
other things, board of trade endorse
ment, composed of business men and
manufacturers. This is most remark
able production, and it could be resorted
to only in a matter of desperation.
That this endorsement of the board of
ton of the business people of Marietta
is utterly untrue. In fact, it was next
to impossible to find who it was that
got this up, and, in search to ascer-
tain, the following business men in the
city of Marietta were visited:
W Hardeman, merchant; A B Gill
bert, merchant; Baker Il Bruce, mer-
chants; G ? Stephens, merchant; M r
Lyon, merchant; j W Legg, druggist
Manning Brothers, merchants; w S
Kelly, merchant; Fowler Brothers,
merchants; F Schilling, merchant
Northcutt, Stone & Barnes. merchants
@ NJ Crosby, merchant; Lawrence Wig
gins, merchant; w Warren, mar-
chant; Faw & Rogers, merchants; Will
Page, merchant; Ii H Clay, merchant
Goggins Brothers, merchants; w H
Humphries, merchant;J n CAN'T, mer-
chant; VIII RoeseI. merchant; H C
Dohbs, merchant; Lewis Turner, mer-
chant; Charley DuPre, OF Read 4 Du-
Pre-, merchant; Ed Cook, merchant
Grogan Brothers, BARRIERS; Walter
Sans, druggist; r w Boone, president
First National Bank c S McCandlish
cashier First National Bank; J An.
derson, vice-president and manager
Marietta Trust and Banking Company
and of Anderson Brothers & Company
! Dobbs q Garrison, merchants; A 3
Anderson, livery; FL Boston, agent
w & A railroad Mullins & Fleming
/ agents A K & n railway; Wilder Glover
of the Glover Machine Works; E T
Dobbs, of the Marietta Ice Co; Neal &
Massey, of the Marietta Journal; G +
| Henderson, contractor j w Hender
son, capitalist; Ward Brothers, mer
chants: J J Haldage, merchant; J
| Black Lumber Company 2 T Handy
& Co, merchants w w Watkins, man
/ ufacturer Dyson Brothers, merchants
&C Grist, merchant; j I Groves, in
surance agent. These represent every
business on the square in Marietta, witt
two exceptions.
Not one of these was present at the
meeting when this pretended endorse
ment was gotten up, but, instead OF the
merchants and business men, as the lis
hereinbefore shows, there were present
one man from the east side of the
square, one from the north side of The
square, and one from the west side o
the square. These three were all the
merchants represented, and the balance
was a crowd drummed up, a number o.
whom were relatives of Mr. Morris, ir
order to give HIM this wonderful en-
dorsement Of the Board of Trade L
might be remembered further that the
President of this boa-d of trade was N
NJ Sessions, who was defeated in lSO(
by Judge Gober for Superior Court.
In this circular is another endorse
ment, which is headed, Endorsed by
the Manufacturing Industries Of Mari
eta" This pretends to have the names
of seven concerns to it. 1t is pity tC
spoil such presentation, but let u'
look further INTO it. This wonderful
paper is signed by the Marietta Papel
Mills, by the Marietta Water Works
by the Marietta Electric Company anC
b7 the Standard Press Cloth Company
Be it remembered that NJ NJ Sessions
claims to be the president and CRANE
rogul of all these different things, and
of course, it makes finer showing To-
him to have some of his employees slgT
for these different things than to have
80 much Sessions in it, especially WheE
MIR Sessions Nas defeated in 1900.
These things claim to be the manu-
featuring industries of Marietta. me!
