Il understand that you have filed
your resignation as a candidate for
the office of mayor of the city of Ard
more with the county election board,
is this a fact?" Was the question
propounded to Harry o. Johnston by a
representative of the Ardmoreite, this
morning.
In reply he stated: Il have had un-
der consideration for the past several
days my withdrawal from the race for
the office of mayor of the city of Ard
more, and you may tell the many read
ers of The Ardmoreite that it is a
fact that l have requested the county
election board to omit my name from
the primary ticket to be voted next
Tuesday. In determining to withdraw
have good reasons for the action that
| have taken. First, and foremost,
consider that the vital interests OF
Ardmore and all her people hinge on
the outcome, and center around the
mayorality contest. l have chosen
Ardmore as my home, and expect to
live here as long as the good people
will permit me. I love Ardmore and
I love her big-hearted and progressive
citizenship, and would not be par
ty to the act of impeding the progress
of the city or the contentment and
welfare of her people. I want TO dc
everything within my power to pre-
vent the widening of the breach be
tween her citizens and the creation OF
factions, because no city can grow
and develop where the people do not
