Views AS Candidate
For Mayor

The primary is only a few davs
off, Tuesday, April 10Th, being the dav
when the voters of High Point will
eliminate, as far as their particular
choice is concerned, all candidates but
one mayor and four councilmen. How
ever, as each of the several candi-
dates will receive a number of votes
from their supporters and according
TO the primary law as it affects High
Point, the two receiving the highest
vote for mayor and two councilmen
from each of the four wards, who re-
ceive the highest vote, will be the
nominees to enter the election on May
3rd. The election will, of course, de-
eide who is to beAlrlayor as we'll as the
iour councilmen.
1t is imperative that every one reg
lister before the primary on April 10
tand as this is an entirely new regis
tratiOn you cannot vote without reg
isteTing.)
The real battle is the primary and
here's where I'm counting on nv
friends and supporters to do their best
as there are four candidates for the
mayorship in the field, and only two
can survive the primary. Then of
course the same good work must be
done on election day. The payment of
poll tax or any other tax is not re-
quired as heretofore to be eligible to
vote in the primary or election. In
the primary as we'll as the election,
you vote for only one mayor and one
councilman from each ward.
[ have and will continue to conduct
my campaign in clean, straightfor-
Ward manner, speaking not unkindly
OF unjust of my opponents, knowing
that my fellowman is the best judge
of all and that in so doing I'm in ac-
cord with his views, and feeling that
| can safely place my case in his
hands,
l have always tried to be true to
every trust imposed in me and have
endeavored at all times to faithfully
represent the people and give every
man and woman, black and white,
conscientious and courteous considefa-
tion. Thousands of dollars have been
saved the city over contracts that eX-
listed at the time | took office in get
ting better prices from public utilities,

1 have jealously guarded the good
name of High Point as one of its pub
Tic servants and have always stood
for what / thought was just, fair and
equitable to all the people, even at
some little sacrifice. 1t is humanely
impossible to please every one, from
the fact there is almost invariably
two sides and sometimes three to al
most every matter up for considera-
Cion, but there is always ONE best
road and this. l have tried to follow.
My whole service and ambition has
been to give the very best in me for
the city which has been so good to
nd n fn
needed and had not the blessings and
conveniences so long denied them, to
spread the gospel of ~brotherly love
by a united and contented people
through a practical application of
what has been preached SO often, but
denied the many so long. My heart
has always been and will ever be
with the great masses who merit
every just consideration we can show
them. Herein lies the secret of peace,
happiness and plenty in the differ
ences and struggles that beset lnd1-
viduals and organizations.
l want to still be a friend to all
mankind after the election, hence L
shall not canker my heart with sores
of hate, envy, ridicule and slander to
gain any unjust advantage. l would
rather not have any office than 90

around my family hearthstone among
nv loved ones with a clear conscience
and peace in my heart, and L Would
rather have the love and respect OF
nv fellowman than all the purple
robes of office.
[ felt like l wanted to say this
much.
The past two years of my service
TO the people is in evidence all over the
city, through improvements and con,
veniences, given and provided for and
mentioned before by me.
AS you know the Free School BOOK
resolution was introduced by me and
passed the council unanimously, nuC
as it took an amendment to the chaF-
ter to provide fund for this al
that is needed now is for the CITY
council to pass the measure. nave
not presented the matter Tor nnal con.
sideration on account OF the 1acL Gha.
the proper time to do this is the first
of June when the new tax vote is hxed
and the budget for the year made out
and for other good reasons. snail
Immediately push the matter II I'm
elected mayor and l feel confident
free school books will be reality be-
cause public opinion would force ac-
ton on such a splendid measure
sooner or later, in. fact l do not be-
ieve any council would dare turn 1t
down-if they did the next election no no
doubt would find a council who wonld
be pledged to it. The law for tne
identifying and maintenance OF the
cemetery was also my resolutloh'
porters 'I Will do all they can for me
and to get the people to register and
assuring ? one and all of my heartiest
appreciation, cordially and sincerely
