 However. do not blame him for this, and think that he is excusable upon the grounds stated heretofore and especially since the roll of that Coun- ell is called so often.
 I have not examined the journal of the House of Representatives of which he was a member but daresay that more than once he was present and did not vote.
 do not intend to hold the sins of commission against him. His sins of commission as a public servant are suf- fcient.
 He was largely responsible for the drastic provisions of the municipal code. He fathered that bi1 Ithrough the House of Representatives.
 |. He voted $s.o00 of the peoples mon- ey for a gravel pit. when strong min ority report states that it was not worth more than $5.O00. Page 202 of minutes. It has developed that the pit Is not worth $1,00o.
 He voted to sell a part of the bonds of the city at par and gave $12,50o of the peoples money as commission to an agent for floating these bonds which was equivalent to selling them below par, when the law said they must be sold at par.
 He voted four times to give the off, flcial sanction of the law making body of Montgomery to run saloons for the sale of liquors by negroes, the breed ing place of every form of vice and crime.
 The City Attorney states that my record is as blank as a sheet of paper. I am delighted that 1t is as white. I voted against all of the above prop ositons and fought them to the bitter end, except the gravel pit and I was not a member of the Council at the time this famous pit was bought, and every one knows that I was not member of the Legislature that passed this municipal code biii. There are other things that I might mention against the record of my opponent. but I desire to state the platform upon which I expected to make the race for Mayor. and upon I expect to stand or fall.
