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notifying you that I have withdrawn my intentions of entering the race for tax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.
