Judges- H.A. Morgan. (E J Boynton. Chain Jesigns Shoal Creek. And Fleeting Called for ist. Monday to Fill the Vacancy To the Members of the Demo cratic Executive Committee Of Lawrence County Tennessee. Gentlemen: I hereby tender ray resig nation to you as your Chairman and re quest you to meet in my officee on the first Monday in December for the pur pose of selecting my successor and tak ing such further action a you may de sire. In doing this, I wish to express to you my assurance" of sincere appreciation for the honor which you conferred upon me, and to thank you 'for the loyal support you have given me, and the earnestness with which you have labored for the success of our party. I retire because I prefer a place in the private ranks to a commission, wherein 1 am constrained to believe, others are more capable to lead our party to victory. It is true, that since I was a boy in my 'teens, there has never been a battle in which I did not engage as a private in the ranks, and my friends know how well I did my duty. A few limes have I met my own people in herce .truggltH for party nominations, and with one ex ception was always defeated, but the man has yet to livewho has ever heard of my "sore toe." If I had one I con cealed it from friend and enemy alike. I have none now. I retire from the Chairmanship believing it to he to the interest of the Democratic party, from the fact that my business demands my entire energy and undivided attention and party organization or business must suffer. I am always willing and ready to follow the safe and conservative lead ership of such men as you are, but here after the sphere of my activities must be limited to casting my own ballot. Our administration has therefore been a j stormy and disastrous one for the party, ' but I believe that I can see a brighter j day dawning. I am too old a soldier in the cause of Democracy and have had too many scars in its battles, to desert leadership except to give place to one more capable and "whose surroundings and circumstances better enable us to turn defeat into victory. Under the conditions of our local Democracy, and the stress of my business affairs, how ever I feel sure, after matnre delibera tion, that this is the proper course for me to take. . Yours very truly, L. B. White, Chairman.
