HOLLINGSWORTH TWINS
SPEAK I N BLAK ELY
The Hollingsworth Twins, pupils

at his old Field School in Worth
county, addressed an audience of ap
proximately 75 men and women at
the Blakely court house Monday
night in the interest of Judge Park’s
campaign for re-election to Congress.
The speakers were introduced by
Mr. R. R. McLendon. The first
speaker devoted his time to describ
ing the work of Mr. Park as a teach
er of the old school and the influence
felt by his students of that period of
their lives. The other twin made a

HIS RECORD IS_ HIS PLATFORM
STATEMENT BY JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET, OF MACON, CANDIDATE TO
SUCCEED HIMSELi* AS GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER
To the White Voters of Georgia:
If you wish to continue in office a
Georgia Public Service Commissioner
who has been unceasingly watchful of
the interests of the people—who has
endeavored unfalteringly to protect the
rights of the masses—and, in the face
of the opposition of great corporations
and powerful utilities, has unhesitat
ingly voted against unreasonable in
creases in rates, then vote in the pri
mary on September 10th for my re
nomination to succeed myself on the
Commission.
I voted against granting increased
rates in Georgia to the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
I voted against granting increased
rates to the express companies in Geor
gia.
I voted against granting the Georgia
Railway and Power Company in
creases in the gas rates of Atlanta,
and I voted in the minority to require
that company to give one-half fares
to public school children riding on
street cars in Atlanta.
I have voted five times against the
surcharge on sleeping and parlor cars,
as I regard this tax unjust, unneces
sary and unreasonable.
I voted against the local freight
rates which went into effect in Geor
gia last year, as they increased rates
to practically every point on the Atlan
ta and West Point Railroad; to prac
tically every point on the Western and
Atlantic Railroad; to practically ev
ery point on the Georgia Rail
road. and also increased the rates to
numerous places on the other great
plea for his hearers to support the
Congressman again, that his service
of 11 years placed him in position to
be of more service to his constituen
cy. They spoke about forty minutes,
coming here from Bainbridge, where
they made an address in the after
noon.
There were several out-of-town
people in the audience.
The speakers were liberally ap
plauded at the conclusion of their
addresses.

the Seneca tonight.

railroad systems of the State, like the
Central, Southern, Seaboard, Louie
vllle and Nashville, and Atlantic Coast
Line. Increases were made from the
mountains to the sea.
I favor the lowest possible rates on
all agricultural products and the ne
cessities for planting crops, including
fertilizers of all kinds, particularly.
I have advocated reduced rates on
brick, lumber, sand, gravel and on all
other materials used in constructing
buildings and highways.
During my service of more that
seven years as a Commissioner,
neither my personal business nor my
individual pleasure has drawn me
away in a single instance from meet
ings of the Commission.
Never in that seven-year perloc
have I lost five minutes from my off!
dal duties because of newspaper work
or any other outside employment.
As a native Georgian, born in
Macon, a Presbyterian, and the son
of Presbyterian parents who were na
tives of Savannah. I always have
given, and will continue to give, the
faithful service of my heart to the
State pf my love, to the State of my
birth, and in whose yenerous bosom 1
hope to sleep at last.
Should yQHi-honor me with a re-nom
ination. I would manifest my gratf
fude by continuing to discharge my
duties conscientiouslv. untiringly, and
to the very best of my ability. Tn
this manner I would rbow my appre
elation of your confidence in me.
Faithfully vonrs.
JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET.
