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.
