Political
Announcements
For Congress
To The People of the First Congress
ional District of Georgia:—
1 hereby announce myself a candidate
for reelection to Congress from the First
Congressional District of Georgia subject
to the Democratic Primary that is to be
held in said District on September 12,
1934.
1 ask for your support on my record
of service in the two short terms (eigh
teen months and twenty two months)
that 1 have served as your Representative
in the 72nd and 73d Congresses.
Yours sincerely,
Homer C. Parker.
For Congress
Hcnestly believing I can be of real
service to the people of the First Con
gressional District of Georgia, I announce
my candidacy for Reprentative in the
Congress of the United States. In offer
ing as a candidate 1 will abide by the
rules and regulations of thqjfDemocratic
party that shall be agreed ypon for the
forthcoming State Democratic Primary
to be held on September 12th I will
wage an active campaign and • hope to
have the pleasure of meeting personally
all of our citizens. Should thp people
of the First District honor me by‘ eledion
as their Congressman I will endeavor
faithfully and conscientiously to serve
them to the very best of my ability. It
has been my dearest ambition to take up
the work where my father left off and to
work for and with the people of this
District who honored my father and
whom he served so long and loved so
well. The training and association with
my father in Congress has familiarized
me with the affairs of Congress as well
as with other affairs of our National Gov
ernment which will enable me to begin
the work without the handicap which
new man would have. 1 will state at
this time that I will so nearly as humanly
possible suppdrt our great leader and
President, Franklin D Roosevelt. How
ever, I shall conscientiously represent the
First Distritf and their welfare as I see
it and at no time for the sake of political
expediency will I follow anyone or any
group and stifle any of my convictions.
Whenever 1 make a promise to whom
soever given it will be carried out I
earnestly solicit the support, vote and
influence of our Democratic citizens and
will appreciate and be grateful for them
In the course of my campaign I shall
confine myself to issues and will indulge
in no personalities The only real issue
before the people is this question "Who
can best serve our District as its Repre
sentative?" The people arc the jury and
the office is theirs to give. I place my
case in their hands with every confidence
in their verdict and faith in them
CHARLES BEACH EDWARDS.
For State Senate
I hereby announce my candidacy for
the State Senate subjert to the rules of
the Democratic White Primary lobe
held on September 12th. I am deeply
grateful to the people of Burke County
for electing me as their Representative
for the past three terms, and I hope I
have proved worthy of your continued
support.
It has been my privilege to serve in
the Legislature under three different gu
bernatorial administrations, and during all
this tune I have striven to cooperate in
all measures conducive to the welfare of
the people. There have been certain
parts of each administration’s program to
which 1 could not conscientiouly sub-
scribe; but I want you to believe that I!
have never sought to obstruct any meas-!
urc for selfish or personal motives, be
cause I hold that in legislation, as in all
else, principles are greater than any indi
vidual I believe the people elected me
to represent them according to the best
of my conscience and ability, and I have
never dodged a vote or evaded an issue.
Please permit me to emphasize one
thing. I ask that you consult me in re
gard to any legislative matter in which
you may be interested; but please do not
accept heresay evidence as to my attitude
on any question.
It is upon the principles above enun
ciated that I announce for the State Sen
ate. From my youth I have been vital
ly interested in politics, and have done
m ( y best to inform myself as to the science
of government. If you think I am qual
ified for the position I am seeking, I shall
appreciate your favorable consideration
of my candidacy. Respectfully,
JOHN J. JONES
