Though Some Of His Friends
Honestly Disagree With
Him
ON HIS PRESENT ATTITUDE
The Effort in EstiII Quarters to Make
1t Appear That Smiths Friends are
Fighting Brantley Is Ridiculous
Brantley in No Fight

Mr.. Editor: | have been reading
with interest and amusement the lit
tie squhos published for the past few
days in the the afternoon paper and it
must be apparent to every man of ev
en- ordinary intelligence that an el
fort is being made by some OF Mr.
Estill's supporters TO make it appear
that an attack is being made upon
Mr.. Brantley by the supporters OF
Brantleys attitude in the present cam
paign. The effect of this, they nc
doubt hope. will be to gain votes fol
Mh EStill as a retaliatOry measure
for the attack upon Mr.. Brantley.
But. MT. Editor. this method OF
campaigning is too thin to stick; its
fabric is too open to make even a fair
quality of mosquito netting, therefore
the faces of the individuals who are
straining their efforts and shallow
brains at such silly argument are
plainly visible behind the screen. No,
Mr.. Editor. there is no fight being
made upon Mr. Brantley; no fight can
be made upon him. He has his nomi
nation for congress in his pocket
We have all voted for him to return
to congress and if he wants to return
there as our representative he can

him.
It is true that many of Mr.: Brantley's
friends and admirers have advise
HIM to keep out of the present guber-
material campaign and take no part
in it as it was not his fight and to
mix up in it might hurt him politically
in the future. If these can be con
strued as an attack upon Mr.. Branl-
ley, then it is not safe to offer advice
to our personal or political friends
for fear we may be accused Of at
tacking them. rhe people of Glynn
county, and especially those who re
side in Glynn county, no doubt, az
preciate everything Mr.. Brantley mas
t..-sne for them since he has represent
ed them in congress and there are no
criticisms to make of his record. He
has served us as faithfully and as
well as any other man in the district
might have done and we have already
shown our appreciation by sending
him back to congress, but / contend
that it is not part OF the
congressional duties of a congressman
to choose for us our governor or state
house officers and our failure to fol
low the lead of Mg. Brantley in thls
campaign cannot, and ought not to be
construed as en- attack upon M
Brautley. He has 70 right to take aa>
such constructions upon our ACTIONS
and neither have the henchmen Of the
Savannah candidate who appeal
to be the real selt-constituteC
Judges of our actions.
No, Mr.. Editor, We are making nc
attack upon Mr.. Brantiey, but the
people of Glynn county seem to loor
with disfavor upon the proposition t.
cast their ballots for a man such as
