tsignd)
Unfortunately for Atlanta much of Mr. Wood
wards unfortunate career and record, as Mayor OF
this city has been given wide publicity throughout
the country. Newspapers from Maine to California
and from the Lakes to the Gulf have printed from
time time, articles which reflected not alone on
the man who was then our Mayor but on Atlanta as
well.
Mr.. Woodward is known not only at home but
he is known abrOad--he has been advertsed--he is
known from reputation.
But the voters of Atlanta not known. AS in
|dividuals, citizens, they have had such free,
but unenviable, advertising has been accorded
Mr.. Woodward
Mr.. Chambers knows, and he has repeatedly
said that many good men have been misled in their
support of Mr. Woodward honest in their
Iconvctions---men with only the best interests of
Atlanta at heart---clean men--but they either
misinformed or ms)ed by statements from the "Mys-
Iterious Woodward Campaign Committee"
Mr.. Chambers says---read it COse-f you elect
Mr.. Woodward you will ADVERTISE TO THE
WORLD that majority of her people of the
Woodward type.
That's the impression the world would naturally
Iget---beCause they know Mr.. WOOdward---they have
|keptup with his record.
But the world don't know you Mr. Voter, and
while you may be honest, ever moral,
ever Clean---ju just Mr. Chambers knows many of
you to be---yet, the election of Mr.. Woodward would
picture you in the minds of the world as of the type
of man you supported which we know you are
mot.
We have purposely refrained from annoying you
by reprinting many of the ADVERTISEMENTS
which we have in possessiOn-clippings from
papers about Mr. Woodward COnduCtabrOad. That's
the kind of ADVERTISING we mean. But since
the "Mysterious Woodward Campaign Committee
has seen fit to miSconstrue and miSrepresent what
was said we felt that you entitled to the cor
