LOOKS LIKE A BIG VICTORY FOR
COX.
In the columns of this edition of
the News will be found the result of
a poll taken by this paper in an
effort to feel out the sentiment of
the Second district in the race for
Congress between Judge Cox and
Judge Park, with the intention of
passing it on to our readers.
The following questionnaire was
mailed to the sheriff and representa
tive of each county iu the district,
the men who are best posted in coun
ty politics, as well as one or more
prominent business men in each
county:
Dear Sir:
We are very desirous of getting
a forecast of the coming primary
as regards the Congressional race
between Judge Cox" and Judge
Park. It is our earnest desire
to have this forecast as accurate
and uncolored as possible, this
being a sincere effort to secure
a reliable prediction as to the
results in each county. We are
addressing this to you as one of
the most prominent citizens in
your community, believing that
you will report the situation to
us just as you see it in your
county. The week preceding the
primary we intend to print tkis
forecast for the benefit of our
readers. We will appreciate it if
you will drop us a line, —or just
use the bottom of this slip—and
give us your idea as to who will
carry your county, and the proba
ble majority of such candidate?
We want this information in
hand by the latter part of the
week, and will appreciate your
prompt response.
The replies are interesting. We
have printed them just as they
came back to us. Some few of them
requested that their names be not
used. We have complied with their
requests. Others were open in their
statements. Only one county failed
to respond, this being Grady.
If straws show which way the
wind is blowing. Judge Cox is about
to win a decisive victory over the
present Congressman. From every
where, except in the Congressman’s
home county (where the race is said
to he close by many observers) and
Decatur county, comes the forecast of
a big majority for Judge Cox. This
seems to be the time when the Camil
la jurist is destined to win. He has
made a thorough canvass of the dis
trict meeting the voters face to
face, and taking his fight straight to
them. He has made many friends
by his able, aggressive and clean
campaign, and their enthusiasm is
running high in anticipation of a
victory for him.
Concerning Judge Cox and his
prospects of victory, his home paper,
The Camilla Enterprise, has the fol
lowing to say:
•‘Judge Cox was born and reared
in Mitchell county and his fellow
citizens in this county know that
he is well qualified to fill the office
he seeks. It is very gratifying to
us to learn that his ability, qualities
of mind and character, are likewise
appreciated by the people of the
other counties of the district and
that they will support him in grati
fying the ambition he cherishes to
represent this district in congress.
“In giving their support to Judge
Cox the people of the district will
he rewarding those attributes of
American manhood which are pointed
out to every ambitious boy as the
keys that open the doors to oppor
tunity and make possible the at
tainment of the highest honors in
our republic. Judge Cox was born on
a farm in this county and followed
the life that the ordinary boy is fa
miliar with until lie was nearing
manhood. He moved to town in time
to get the advantage of a high
school course. He opened a law of
fice in Camilla to begin the prac
tice of his profession. Through ordi
nary hard work and a commendable
ambition to succeed he built up a
large law practice and finally came
to be recognized as one of the ablest
in South Georgia. The only politi
cal office he has ever held was one
term as judge of the superior courts
of the Albany circuit, which post he
filled with distinction and efficiency,
as the records of that court will show,
if he is elected to congress this year
it will simply mean another victory
iu the ceaseless struggle of the
country boy to mount the ladder of
success to the highest point his abil
ity and energy will carry him. He
is still a young man and if he is
sent to congress from this district
he will not be content to give any
thing less than the best that is in
him to the service of his constit
uents; this we may reasonably ex
pect from the diligence and energy
that has characterized all his pri
vate and public undertakings in the
past.”
