EMMETT R. SHAW
Candidate for U. S. Senate, Issues Formal Platform.
1. I have ever been and will ev
er be loyal to my-ilag and coun
try and if elected to the United
States Senate will use my every
effort to contribute my most to
the end that German Imperial
ism under the leadership of the
Kaiser who claims divine, right
to i me shall pensn irom me lace
ot me earth.
2. i am ihorughly oppohed
to ~the doctrine oi "uivuie
•lights," claimed to he vested m
man. I believe that God creates
ah men equal and am opposed to
the teachings or the Pope, and
especially am 1 opposed to the
fimiuence of Catholicism over
governmental alt airs in Georgia
and in America. 1 stand ior
complete saparation of church
and state.
3. 1 am oppsed to foreign im
migration. they come here
.without the love of liberty in
their hearts, representing the
very scum of Europe, to tear
bown our civilization, invade our
homes and mongrelize our race.
When 10,000 arrive, in addition
to the class of men they repre
sent, 90 per cent, if not the
whole 100 per cent, belong to the
Roman*Catholic faith, and with
the great-influx of the halt and
maimed from Europe after the
war our country would be Cath
olicized and our civilization de
stroyed. The average man’s
child would have as little chance
as a calf.
4. I stand for public owner
ship of public utilities: Rail
roads, express companies and
telephone lines. The govern
ment must own these corpora
tions or be practically owned by
them.
5. I am opposed to acquiring
foreig npossessions. I believe
America would be better off
without the Philipines. I am
opposed to entering into squab
bles /ibout Oriental trade. 1 fear
our commercial giants and finan
cial pirates would get us into
war with China and Japan for
the sake of a little trade which
would earn them a few dollars.
The trade gamblers should not
be allowed to lead us into unnec
essary war and bloodshed to suit
their appetites for profit.
6. I favor the strongest coast
defense possible. A navy equal
or superior to any in the world.
We should have learned a lesson
from this war, and while the
coast of thorough preparedness
will be billions, we should be pre
pared to defend ourselvesagainst
me world. The country is worth
cue money, and our homes are
worth the price.
7. There is a tendency grow
ing to centralize power, it is
necessary to- delegate, tempo
rarily, great power in time of
war so as to get the quickest
results, but this power should
not be allowed to exist after the
war.
8. Financial, social and creed
power is playing a heavy hand
lu our politics. It must be
curhed. The Jews own a great
portion of the banking business.
Nearly all the clothing business.
They control a large percentage
of the advertising business.
The selected politicians play to
them and to the Roamanists and
the daily press represents the
combinations’ organ. Knowing
my past record and views, I am
being treated worse today by
the daily press than was Bishop
Turner or Booker T. Washington
for their deeds were heralded t'd
the world. The cold knife of
silent contmpt is placed on me.
9. The class, through their
politicians and organs,will strive
to control this government after
the war as never before. They
are striving to elect their tools
now. They take weak men with
out recopds who will do their bid
ding and whom they hope to
elect on a “loyalty” plea.
10. This w r ar debt and the
intei'est and sinking fund should
be paid by the levying of*a grad
uated income tax. Wealth and
not toil should bear this gulden.
11. If you are w illing to
stand by a man who will live or
dieb by the above platform 1
would appreciate your support.
The influences of evil mentioned
above would hush my voice.
They would close the door of op
portunity in my face. The boss
es and allies of big business
would centralize your govern
ment, milk the golden calf, rob
thhe treasury of human rights
and deliver us and our posterity,
body and soul, into the hands of
the aboveinfluences and have the
future Americans socially, com
mercially and religiouly the
slaves of a most despotic despot
ism.
My country and my future are
in the hands of my fellow 7 coun-
trymen. Your verv truly,
EMMETT R. SHAW.

Housewives Freed
ot Wheal
Washington; July 29.—Another
step toward partial resumption by
the nation Of its oid habits of eat
ing, was taken today by the Food
Administration in releasing house
wives from voluntary pledges to
curtail the consumption of wheat.
This follows closely the release of
hotels, restaurants, clubs, and
dining car service from their
pledge, effective August 1.
No change has been made, the
Food Administration announced,
in the half and half rule, the pur
chasers of wheat flour will be re
quired to continue the purchase of
an equal weight of wheat substi
tutes. Bakers still are required to
make “Victory” bread, containing
at least 25 per cent wheat substi
tutes. Coming in of the new
wheat crop has made it possible
for the release of voluntary wheat
saving pledges, the Administration
said.
DROWNED IN SIGHT
OF IMMENSE CROWD
Way cross Man Loses Life Trying to
Swim to Steamer at St. Simon's
Island.
Brunswick, July 29.—J. C. Agee,
of Waycross, 21 years of age, was
drowned at St. Simons yesterday
afternoon while in surf bathing.
His body was recovered this morn
ing, a mile from where the young
man lost his life. The drowning
was witnessed by a number of
Sunday excursionists who were
on the pier, in the surf and on a
steamer when the young man was
drowned.
From all accounts it seems that
he attempted to swim to the
steamer when he was attacked
with cramp. Two boys who were
nearby went to his assistance, but
they were unable to save him,
and in the presence'of the crowd
he was drowned.
Young Agee came to Brunswick
a few months ago to work in a
shipbuilding plant. It is under
stood Agee is the third son the
parents have lost within the past
few months, two having passed
away at their home. The body
was shipped to Waycross this af
ternoon for interment.
The Joy of Living.
To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
t) get mush real pleasure out of life
when his bowels are clogged a good
share of the time and the poisons that
should be expelled are absorbed into
th - system, producing headache and
indigestion. A few doses of Cham
berlain’s Tablets will move the bowels
strengthen the digestion and give you
a chance to realize the real joy of
giving. Try it.

Congress May Stop
All Volunteering
Proposed Changes in the
Selective Service Act Are
Discussed by the Senate.
Washington, July 29.—Changes
in the seclective service act were
discussed at today’s semi-weekly
meeting of the Senate, but the
House held only a five minute
session.
A resolution introduced by Sen
ator Sterling,, of South Dakota,
and referred to the military com
mittee, asking the Secretary of
War whether men who tried to
volunteer but were rejected for
physical disability and have since
been drafted, may be, transferred
to volunteer organizations was
the vehicle of Senate debate.
Senator* Sterling said it was un
just to have men rejected as
volunteers and then Jorced into
draft organizations after a change
in the physical standard.
Senator Johnson, of California,
said that ki the new law being
considered to extend the draft
ages which would be before Con
gress within thirty days the ques
tion of prohibiting all volunteers
is being discussed.
Senator Nelson, qf Minnesota,
called attention to the praise by
Secretary Daniels of the marines
between 18 and 21, who have
been in the recent fighting in
France and declared youths of
those ages make the best soldiers.
Opposing reduction of the
minimum draft age, Senator-Kirby
said he believed the draft age
should and will be extended net
because the country’s manpower
within the draft ages is insuffi
cient, but because men above 31
without dependents should be
made to enter the service.
