To the Democrats Of
Montgomery County

Several weeks ago, as is known to
you all, I announced myself as
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Sheriff Of Montgomery
county. Since then, however, the
complexion Of the political slate has
been changed by another candidate,
Sidney ]. Calk, entering the race,
and declaring that il he is success
full Messrs. Ben Fl. Scott and Roger
O. Greene will be his deputies.
These three men served in the
military forces Of the United States
curing the World War; and white
they. with commendable modessy,
are not making that service plea
for your support in this campaign,
it is my firm conviction that it does
merit for them every consideration.
Leaving their homes and businesses,
as did hundreds Of other boys from
this county, they endured hardships
and hazards and suffered financial
loss and mortal anguish, that we
might have peace and enjoy the Sc
curity which we do today.
Mindful Of that, as well as the
personal integrity and ability of SOL
der candidates, I cannot as a matter
of principle and patriotism oppose
the soldier ticket. To do so would be
contrary to my family traditions and
my own sense Of duty. Therefore,
take this method of notifying my
friends that I have withdrawn from
the race. thank them most sincerely
for their support and encouragement
which I shall never forget.
Gratefully yours,
WARREN w. STONER.
