To the Democratic Voters
of Richmond County:

There has been some criticism
that I had not made a canvass of
the county in my own behalf.
To this charge l wish to explain
and ask that you do not hold
same as anything against me.
In my announcement | gave
my views along this line. / think
now, that very soon we will begin
to realize that neither time or
money belongs to us, that we are
only agencies to put it to the
proper use. Therefore, would
be very wrong to waste or to
spent unnecessarily.
1t would have cost me a con.
siderable sum to have hired con-
veyance and make this canvass,
and also the loss of time from my
work.
l think the eight years service
in the Clerks Office, to which
have invited comparison, should
be sufficient for the voter to pass
upon. have nothing new to of.
fer. No promise to make that
will do better next time. lido my
best all the time. l shall not
want the office if the Kaiser wins
| do not anticipate to make it
job of graft. If I get it, | shall
expect to render value received
in service.
shall highly appreciate al
efforts made in my behalf, but
let me implore you that you make
your pass word DEMOCRACY
whether you are for lne or agains
me.
Very truly,
T. L. Covington.
