To The Public:?Some time ago I authorized the announcement that I would bi a candidate for Congress. I believed then, and still believe, that a change should be made. Flattered by friends holding like views, who thought they saw in me sortie qualifications for the position, I and moved by an impulse, not un common to South Carolinians, commonly called ambition, I made the announcement without as full conQC tn ooctc nnH pons#1 91UCiaV/lUU ao vv vv^vw v>..? | quences as I have since given the matter. I believe I have a fair chance to win, but no certainty. I see this aspect of the matter as I saw it from the first. But certain | * it is I am shirking no public duty ?did it appear in that light I would not count the costs or consequences. Nor do I question the loyalty of my friends, some of whom have stood by me even in my errors. I have but little money?none to waste; I have a fair business,yielding a moderate but comfortable income; I have many responsibilities. To go into this campaign will mean necessary neglect of both; to continue in poli- ( tics may be the ruination of the; former and consequent failure to; discharge the latter. Other reasons move me: I could not ask that an- j other be displaced only to make room for me, and would therefore 1 be compelled to give reasons why I think the incumbent should be supplanted. I have reasons plenty to i move me, but know not how others may view them. My motive may be questioned?probably will be by some?but my friends will believe me. These are my reasons candidly expressed for abandoning my purpose to run. T I Rodgers.
