Number 31
STATE SENATE
During World War 1, in August
1918 I enlisted in the U. S. Navy
Hospital Corps. I am a charter
member of the American Legion.
I have worked very close with all
veterans and veterans organizations
since World War I and during
World War 11. I have helped many
people to draw pensions and wel
fare payments and will continue
to do so.
It is and has always been a
genuine pleasure to me to try to
help some person, when in need of
help.
My opponent in this senate race
said in his letter which he mailed
from BUFORD, GEORGIA a few
days ago, which he mailed to box
holders in Forsyth County that
he was not seeking this office for
any personal gain and that he did
not have anything to sell to the
State of Georgia nor to other legis -
lators If this is true he had
better stay at home and practice
medicine and let us pay him to
keep our families well. I frankly
admit that I do have something
to sell to the State of Georgia anu
Georgians, FORSYTH COUNTY
and the good people of Forsyth
County. Then in addition to pro
moting our Forsyth County 1
also gladly admit that I do have
something else to sell to the State
of Georgia and to as many state
legislators and senators as may
need the product I sell. I have
sold cars and trucks to the State
of Georgia during every admini
stration for more than twenty
five years, as a matter of fact, in
1937 I sold the State Patrol a
fleet of sixty cars being the first
State Patrol car* purchased and
have sold the state as many as
twenty—five to forty cars or trucks
at different intervals since that
time. All cars and trucks sold to
the State of Georgia have been
under COMPETITIVE SEALED
BIDS OPENED PUBLICLY. I
have also sold many cars and
trucks to state legislators and
state senators and other state of
ficials and employees before and
during the time I have served as
your representative and I am glad
to say that the profits made on
these cars and t ucks has always
been brought hack to Forsyth
County and has been used to help
many people as well as myself
and my family and I trust I can
continue to make a little money
in Atlanta. New York, Florida and
whereve ■ else I can honorably and
bring to Forsyth County to be
used in building poultry plants,
pants factory, sausage plants
and other industries that will furn
ish Forsyth County people em
ployment and to help ail of us to
have good homes and good living
and to further promote Cumming
and Forsyth County.
My record for honesty and fair
dealing is equal to that of my
opponent and is wide open for
any investigation or scrutiny by
him or anyone who may wish to
investigate and I assure you that
any sales or any deals as referred
to in first paragraph of this plat
form has not in any way cost the
tax payers of Forsyth County one
penny and to the contrary has
brought additional taxes TO our
county
" 1 -n
I will appreciate your vote for
State Senate September 12. 1962.
And if elected, I assure you that I
will remain sober, alert and on the
Job, and that I will not participate
in anything that will dull my mind
and that will keep me from being
on the job all day. every dav dur
ing the session and during the two
year team I will not be on the
job part time. A part time sen
ator whe is expecting to be called
home at any time with other thing.*?
on his mind. CANNOT do justice
to our county.
Sincerely your friend,
Roy P. Otwell, Sr.
