Milan A CANDIDATE.
Writes d Letter Announcing His Can.
didacy and Giving His Reasons
for RecOnsideriIlg.

The following letter from Hon.
Frank A. McLain will ba read
with qualification by thousands Of
his friends throughout this coun-
|ty aud district:
House Of Representatives, Wash
ington, April 26, 1908.
Editor Leader, Brookhaven, Miss.
Dear Sir: You wrote sometime
ago asking me If / intended to be
q candidate for Congress. At that
time / did not know what course
/ woiiid take.
Two years ago ] made the state
ment, that If nominated to the
Sixtieth Congress, ] would not
seek an election to the next.
Since then conditions have arisen
which, if i could have anticipated.
the declaration would not have been
made, and to be perfectly frank, /
regret making it.
Many friends are, and have
been for some time, urging me to
stand for reelection, pointing out
that ! could do so consistent with
honor, as I promised DO one two
years ago that if be would stay.
out Of the race then. that / would
step out of bis way at the next
election; and that I had the right
to change my mind upon this
question, with as much freedom
and propriety as ! have upon any
other business matter.
However, have delayed an
nouncing for Congress, feeling
thaE.I should not take the initia-
tive altogether in this matter.
/ have therefore awaited devel-
opments in the district and from
expressions from the people.
Unsolicited, these have been
such that am convinced that
many friends who have heretofore
supported me desire me to make
the race.
They stood Loyalty BY me when
I appealed to them, and | feel now
that / should respond when they
call upon me for further service,
and urge BY reason of my exper-
|ience / can be more useful to the
people than at any time during
my congressional career, especial.
Ily ii view of the political eondi-
Itions confronting us throughout
I the country.
Tie chances are the next House
will be Democratic, in which
event, long service and experience
R0Erd especially be recognized
and count for much.
| authorize you to announce my
candidacy. subject to the action OF
the Democratic party.
Very respectfully,
f. "a. McLAIN.
