FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE GEN
ERAL ASSEMBLY OF GA.,
From Ben-Hill County. Under
Such Rules and Regulations as
Prescribed by the Proper
Authorities
To the People of Ben Hill County:
During the 1911 session of the
General Assembly of Ga., which
I served you, I endeavored earn
estly and faithiully 1n the support
of all the General measures that I
advocated and pledged in my for
mer race for Represertative. viz.
Laws with reference to Labor,
and the extension of Education.
And in co-operating with others
equally interested, such Laws were
enacted and in my opinion of
thought, have met with appreval
in general to the people of Geor
gia, especially in the New School
Law where an additional One
Hundred Thousand Dollars goes
to the children of this State.
I voted for every meaure that
tended to uplift the people and
state, :
I was always on the side with
the people in comuion as aguainst
special interest,
I met regularlly with my Com
mittees, having been assigned to
some among the mostimportant,
such as, Education ‘‘Banks and
Banking” Railroads” Ways and
Means and Corporations etc.
My conduct as your Represen
tative is a matter of public record,
and with such experience as I
have had I feel that I am in better
position to still render more and
better service to the people of my
County,
I am anxious to serve you again
in the General Assembly from our
County, not in any consideration
of money for, all one can get out
of it is the consciousness of hav
ing served his people well andl
faithfully, and to me this is great
er than money.
I therefore earnestly appeal to
your kind consideration, promis
ing if re-elected the best efforts of
my life in all matters of general
as well as of local interest.
Faithfully Yours,
tf, Wright T. Paulk.

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY JULY 5, 1912.
Some Interesting Dctails of the Balti
more Gathering.
During an outburst talk at the
convettion hall, Representative Hen
ry Clayton of Alabama, one of the
speakers who got all “het up” over
things in general, made the fatal mis
take of starting three sentences in
succession with the words “I know.”
By the time he got to his fourth burn
ing thought 12,000 persons started
with him. It didn’t bother him, and
he kept right on “I knowing.”
“1 know,” roared the Alabama man.
“Do you know that you've been
talking fifteen minutes?” asked a man
in the gallery.
“If you will be patient, there are
only half a dozen more speeches,”
pleaded Jndge Parker at the morning
session, when the crowd was break
ing the anti-noise ordinance.
“Let them all talk together, and
then we can go home,” was a bit of
advice from the floor which raised a
laugh.

His plea for a progressive candi
date was heeded Ly the Democratic
convention,
wife of the president, came over from
Washington, -and was an early arrival
in the gallery near the speaker’'s plat
form. s
She saw an animated scene, for
spurred by the promise of lively ac
tion, the early crowd took a good
gtart, with the result that a lively, in
teresting throng was on hand an hour
sooner than Wednesday.
For them the first center of attrac
tion was Mrs. Taft. She arrived with
Mrs. Norman E. Mack three-quarters
of an hour before the convention met.
There was not a ripple of applause
on the part of the incoming thousands
as Mrs. Taft walked up the aisle and
was ushered to a seat on the plat
form.
As the party went up the middle
aisle to the stage Col. John I. Mar
tin, sergeant-at-arms, hurriedly cross
ed the platform. He was late, but
made up for his tardiness by the cor
diality of his welcome. Colonel Mar
tin personally led the way to the first
row of seats reserved for the Taft
party.
Her seat was in the front row of
the guests’ gallery to the left of the
chairman’s stand and immediately
overlooking the west section of the
press gallery. She had read every
detail of the story of the Chicago con
vention, where her husband was re
nominated, and she was deeply inter
ested in the work of the opposing con
vention,
It was the first time in the history
of the country., so far as the oldest
convention fans could recall, that the
wife of a president had attended a
conventicn which was te nominate
the man who would oppose her hus
band for re-election.
Unable to Handie Crowd.
When Baltimore puts up five or six
more hotels and can muster more
than one ticket taker for each door
way of its armory, it properly may
aspire to the honor of having another
national convention within the city
walls—but not befeore. Tt is barely
possible that the city could take care
of the crowds if it knew how, but it
is' a long call {from the last big na
tional gathering to the present one,
and, while the last cne was not any
thing like as big as this one, Balti
more seems to have forgotten the les
sons ‘which other cities have learned.
Marooned on Upper Floers.
The Illinois delegation had a big
banner thrown out from one of the
hotels announcing that its headquar
ters were on the fifteenth iloor of one
of the leading hotels. If the man
who wanted to see Roger Sullivan,
or it might have been Mayor Harri
son, if valiantly he had gone to the
room of the prairie delegation, he
either had to walk up fourteer flights
of stairs on feet already tired with
tramping and standing, or else he had
to wait for the hourly chance to board
an elevator which carried its heavy
burden jamming and perspiring aloft.
