Dear Sheriff Mckinney:
In today's Marietta papers | notice
your announcement as a candidate to
succeed yourself as sheriff.
Why did Bro. Kincaid desert you?
You started out together TO be partners
for two terms and he says over his
own signature in the papers that you
have given him a square deal. II so,
he ought to stand by you. If you 20
down in defeat, he ought to 90 down
with you.
1t is none OF my business, ofcourse,
but as read your announcement, /
felt deep down in my heart that, you
are not being treated exactly right and
! am like Judge Morris in.that it does
NE good to shown coIors for a friend.
As a newspaper man for several years
| have come in close contact with
many sherifs, but ! do honestly be-
lieye that you are the best sheriff that
] have ever known. | have in mind
now certain North Georgia sheriff
that catches every negro that gets into
trouble, but he never finds a white
voter, if his friend, You are not that
kind, but do your duty as you see it.
Now. | hope you will 90 ahead and
win this race with big majority, and
l believe you will, for ! have never
known one, who loved his mother as
you did, to 90 down in defeat in any Of
his undertakings.
And ! am glad that you and your
good little wife are saving what you
make out Of your office. 1t will come
in mighty nice in old age
Your friend,

OPEN LETTER TO THE VOTERS

l am a candidate for County Treas

their minds and vote accordingly.

could by my people, privately and pub
licly, and it is the duty of any man who
thinks differently to come out in the
press and say so. Others are aspiring
to this office and il the taxpayers con-
scientiously believe that any one Of
them is better qualified and will more
fully do his duty as county officer than
/, it is their duty to vote for him; and
if you think and one of them is more
entitled to it, under the circumstances,
than it is your duty to vote for him.
l know that town people and mer-
chants have as much right to hold
office as a:country Jake. They have
more time and better opportunity to
see and talk to the people than farm.
er, especially at this season of the
year. | am busily engaged in prepar-
ing.and planting my crop. Therefore
l hope no one will vote against me
simply because l have not been
around to see him.
Most every citizen of Cobb is familiar
with the fight made with those that
were n.authority in the courts of our
countysand state to dissolve the offices
OF Clerk.and Treasurer and give to the
people their rights under the law
There was nothing to compel me to do
this. | believed that where the law had
created different offices that God had
created enough good men to hold them,
without one man holding two or three at
one and the same time. When | was
doing this, we're my opponents lending
me any aid? When | was making the
fight to rid the tax payers of the damn
able, outrageous office ofSpecial BailifI,
did my opponents receive any of the
wounds?
When | made my monthly report, if
any man who had any transactions with
the county while Twas there found it
wrong, Itdon't want your vote, and if
any man believes that 'Lonzo Richard
son told the truth when he accused me
of stealing the county's money, don't
want your vote.
There was no law to force me to tell
you who got your tax money and what
for after it was paid in. | did it be-
cause | wanted to treat you right. Did
anyone ever do that before or since?
If you believe | was wrongfully treat
ed in my last race, please vote for me
this time and put your foot Of disap-
prevail on such conduct.
Now, IN conclusion | want to thank
every man who voted FOR me in my last
race and ask you to vote for me again.
l feel very grateful. for the many kind
expressions that ! have received from
number of people who opposed me
before, but who are supporting me now
on the ground that did not have fair
treatment in my former race.
Very respectfully,
