(NWNS) —Po- litical “experts” who believed that the charge of pre-war isolationism would be a death-blow to any candi date for political office, are still puz zling over the success of isolationist candidates, such as Hamilton Fish of New York and John M. Vroys, of Ohio, in the recent primary elec tions. Explanations have been running thick and fast, but there is no doubt that the anti-New Dealers are elated by these victories and the New Deal ers are plainly worried. The anti-New Dealers are pleased because they see these results as clear evidence that the voters, in spite of their support of the war programs, are not going to vote ac cording to advice from Washington. The New Dealers, on the other hand, are disturbed on two counts: (1) That they may not get the ma jority they anticipated in the com ing elecion, and (2) that the sup port of pre-war isolationists indi cates that a lot of people are not yet properly aroused by the war program. Pre-war isolationism, which was expected to be one of the chief bat tling points in the election, is now likely to be side-tracked for the more timely subject of the way present congressmen voted on recent war measures. There is little doubt that there will be considerable re-shuffling of seats in congress in November and the congressmen, now on unofficial recess, are busily engaged in their home districts in checking up on lo cal sentiment. Congress still continues to hold sessions in spite of the fact that the great majority of members are away, and the house even voted on a controversial measure recently with g-g irajs B oT IdTV g «*™ /tfl? 1 iL g Jg ' ■ «?*/ IJI rI i> s 1 WIA Be 'Jf iB | J| ■ ’ In this dark hour of our national existence, when our tradition, our freedom and our very lives and homes are being assaulted by a vicious and deadly enemy, it is time for the people of our State and our Na tion to return to the simple faith of our childhood. At our mother's knee and in the little country churches we were taught that there is a God who watches over the destinies of mankind. Though our faith may be sorely tried and our hearts troubled, we were taught to cling to that elemental truth. We know that the Democratic form of Government is the finest the mind of man has ever devised. We know that right will triumph, evil will be uprooted and the truth prevail, and that the truth will set us free. GEORGIA'S NEXT GOVERNOR BUY WAR SAVING STAMPS AND BONDS" perhaps the smallest group present which has ever voted on any meas ure. The vote was on a bill to give immediate financial aid to the de pendents of men in the armed serv ices instead of waiting until Novem ber, as provided by the present law. Only 28 of the 430 members of the house were present and they voted for it unanimously and sent the measure to- the senate. A major shake-up in the press sections of government departments has now been started, following an order issued several weeks ago by Elmer Davis, new head of the Office of War Information, that- all un necessary public relations work should be discontinued. The first department to act was the war de partment, which lias one of the most unwieldy press set-ups of all. Following an order by Secretary of War Stimson, 75 per cent of the approximately 100 war department press sections are being eliminated. Although the secretary did not admit it, it is generally believed that the plan .to reorganize the press section of the army was rushed through following the “hoax” story, officially released by the army de partment, about markers in fields and woods prepared to aid enemy aviators in reaching war factories. Investigation showed these markers were found last spring, had been investigated and found to have nothing to do with enemy plans. Be fore the truth was discovered, how ever, pictures and a story released by one of the army offices was car ried in newspapers throughout the country. Immediately the newspa pers asked that action be taken to prevent the release of anything but truthful and reliable information by the army. The newspapers have had a very difficult time getting news from the army, which they are willing to accept as a war-time ne cessity, but this faqt made them doubly annoyed when they found that the first “good story” released in some time was a hoax. Increased pressure for a high (sales tax, as the easiest means of (raising the billions in taxes desired by Secretary Morgenthau, is being brought on the senate finance com mittee. A spokesman for the United States Chamber of Commerce rec ommended a 10 per cent sales tax and he was followed by J. Cheever Cowdin, chairman _of the finance committee of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers, ' who recom mended an .8 per cent sales tax as a means of collecting $4,800,000,000 in taxes. The committee is known to be giving the subject of a sales tax se rious consideration and is also con sidering tax exemptions to a figure lower than those approved by the house. But it is still the general opinion here that in spite of all of the means of increasing taxation which are being considered, the sen ate committee is not apt to recom mend new taxes above those ap proved by the house until after the election. The tax. bill is due to go to the senate early in September, but whether it will actually be voted on before election is still doubtful. POSTOFFICE TO OPEN 9 A. M. BEGINNING SEPTEMBER FIRST Beginning September 1, the Blake ly postoffice will change its opening hours from 8:30 a. m. to 9 o’clock, Postmaster J. Emory Houston an nounced yesterday. The office will remain open until 6 o’clock, the present closing hour. J. H. SMITHWICK OF COLQUITT COUNTY ANNOUNCES FOR CONGRESS I In making this announcement for a seat in the next Congress I do so in the deep conviction that the next and immediately suc ceeding Congresses will play the greater part in the determina tion of the destinies of this nation, if not the whole world. Not since the morning of time have the peoples been so per plexed, worried and distressed, and rightly so. Now of all times is not the time to play cheap politics. I am making this race because it is my firm conviction that the people of this Congress ional District need and want a change in their Congressman. I have no illusions as to the responsibility my election to this high and important office will impose upon me. I shall do noth ing to retard the war effort but will do' everything that lies within my power to be of some help in bringing this horrible catastrophe to a successful conclusion. As long as the war is on I will be loyal to our Commander-in-i Chief both on and off the record. I make no promises unless I know they can be fulfilled. In the matter of recommendations for local appointments the merit system will prevail in order that the people interested may have the best possible service. I solicit the votes of all fair-minded people of the district and promise that if elected I will use all my time, all my energy and whatever ability I may possess in trying to make a fair, faithful and efficient Congressman for all the people and at no time, under no circumstances wHI I play cheap, tricky politics to perpetuate myself in office. From now until the date of the Primary I expect to make an intensive campaign, but on account of shortage in tires and gas oline I know that I will not be able to meet all the voters in per son. I WISH I COULD. But if you will give me your vote on election day I want to assure you here and now that your vote will not be wasted this time. Very sincerely, J. H. SMITHWICK.
