Harry Wingate
candidate for
Congress
Harry u Wingate, Jr., Al
bany attorney, announced today
he will seek the 2nd District
Congressional seat in the Sep
tember Primary being vacated
by the retirement of Represen
tative Maston O’Neal of Bain
bridge. Wingate, 45, is a part
ner in the law firm of Wingate,
Bartlett, and Hayes.
In announcing his candidacy
for Congress, Wingate issued
the following statement: "Mas
ton O’Neal’s decision to retire
came as a complete surprise
to me and I deeply regret that
his health will not permit him
to continue representing the
people of the second District
beyond this term. He has re
presented this District with dis
tinction and courage and has in
my opinion voted the views of
a majority of the people of the
2nd District to the best of his
convictions.” Wingate further
added that ' ‘upon his retire
ment, Congressman O'Neal will
be vacating a seat on the power
ful house agriculture committee.
The 2nd District of Georgia is
by far the most diversified farm
ing district in the state and there
fore it is vital that we have a
man who can maintain a voice
in Congress on the farmer’s
behalf.” Wingate received an
Agriculture degree from the Uni
versity of Georgia in 1950 and is
the son of the former Ruth Spence
and H. L. Wingate of Pelham,
former president of the Geor
gia Farm Bureau Federation for
17 years. Wingate received a
law degree from American Uni
versity in Washington, D, C„
in 1955 and is a member of
the Georgia bar and the Albany
Bar Association. A combat vete
ran of World War 11, Wingate
was born in Baker County and
reared in Mitchell County where
he has maintained a close asso
ciation with his father in exten
sive farming operations.
Prior to practicing law in Al
bany, Wingate was administrative
assistant to the late Congressman
E. E. Cox of Camilla. In 1956,
he was appointed by Senator Ri
chard B. Russell as staff direc
tor of the Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee. He served in
this capacity for 8 years until
resigning in 1964 to run for
the 2nd District Congressional
seat. He was narrowly defeated
in a run-off by Maston O’Neal
in that campaign.
Wingate has been active in
community affairs in Albany. He
has served as regional Cancer
Crusade Chairman, vice presi
dent of the Georgia Alumni So
ciety for the 2nd District, and
is presently a member of the
State Democratic Executive
Committee and President of the
Lake Park PTA. Wingate is
active in the Albany Chamber
of Commerce, the Dougherty
County Kiwanis Club, and a mem
ber of Porterfield United Me
thodist Church. Wingate is mar
ried to the former Boots Hamp
ton of Raleigh, N. C., and is the
father of three children, Harry,
111, Anne, and Elizabeth.
In closing Wingate stated that
“if elected to Congress, he would
dedicate his office to represent
ing the people in all areas of the
District”.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1970
CHESTER CLARDY
DON’T FROM FRONT
1947-1970.”
"Whatever he does he does
well”, was another tribute Mr.
Singletary made to the retiring
conservationist. ' 'Active in com
munity projects, Mr. Clardy has
been active in his church, ser
ving as steward and in other
capacities. He has served as
Commander and in almost every
office in the American Legion;
and Kolomoki Society, which he
helped organize. Throughout his
travels he has told people about
Early County and often presented
peanuts, a souvenir of the na
tion’s largest peanut producing
county. When he visited Mexico
he told them about peanuts and
now that he is going to Japan,
he will probably carry along
packages of peanuts and continue
to give publicity to Early
County”.
Ralph J. Balkcom presented
Mr. Clardy with a certificate
from the Secretary of Agricul
ture, congratulating him on his
service and citing him for his
association with other soil con
servationists in Georgia.
D. L. Pope of Albany, Dis
trict Conservationist, presented
luggage and a book of letters
from friends throughout the area
to Mr. Clardy and for a bit of
humor, a set of brake shoes for
his car, because he has never
had his brakes relined, although
he has traveled extensively by
automobile.
Following brief talks by Mr.
Clardy and his wife, they told of
their plans to continue to make
Blakely their home.
