A CARD FROM
JAMES G. WOODW ARD

To the People Of Atlanta
! am going To ask to be allowed To
trespass on your time for Just a few
minutes-just long enough for you to
read the short statement that follows
l am going to be bit personal in this
statement, in other words am going to
tell you just how | feel about the second
race for mayor that ! am now being
forced to make after having been really
elected a few days go.
To begin with, ! am IS years Of age /
have been honoTed by the people Of At
ianta more. perhaps, than any man who
has ever aspired for public Office. But
there has been an element against me.
That is but natural Tor two reasons.
The first is due to the fact that no man
can expect to get all the votes in any
community. The second is due to the
inability Of the other branch Of the OPP
posing element to use me.

most cruel attacks, perhaps that any
man ever had to combat Nothing has
been spared me. Every effort has been
made 10 Wrest from me the honors that
my people have accorded me. And now,
in the twilight Of my life another at
tack is being planned. There are those
who would rob me Of the privilege Of
rounding out my public and private life
with an honorable and an enviable rec
family the most cherished thing in all
the world TO-DAY is the desire to end my
political career as mayor Of Atlanta
with the best administration that has
ever been known In its history. This j.
an honest desire of which any man
should be proud. but in my case it is
particularly near and dear TO my heart
The 6S years that have passed over my
head have been ripe in experience, put
ting me closely i'm touch with public af-
fairs but lightly they have dealt with
me physically they have naturally
Brought me face to face with the Ger
Iainty that there are not many years Of
active life before me so far az strenuous
politics is concerned. Dearer to me al
most than life itself is the ambition to
which ! have Just referred.
Just now. more perhaps than ever be-
fore, Atlanta needs guiding hand that
is steady, careful and experienced.

fairs Of the city, urged on by the
thought Of making the next two years
the most valuable Of my life, / feel that
