HOLLINGSWORTH TWINS SPEAK I N BLAK ELY The Hollingsworth Twins, pupils of years ago of Judge Frank Park 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 (ADVERTISEMENT) (ADVERTISEMENT) 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. See “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife” at the Seneca tonight. Try the News for Job Printing. 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.
