Will Not Be A Candidate
~~~~~

    To My Friends in Falls County: I take this method of notifying you that I have withdrawn my intentions of entering the race for tax assessor.
    I repeat my thanks to those who have shown a willingness to help me.  I make this public so you may know my intention, that you can make your choice among the other candidates.

Calvin W. Bratton.
