At the age of thirteen, a poor boy
on his father’s small farm iu Richmond
County, near. Augusta, the youngest of
seven children, he was suddenly strick
en with total blindness. Realizing that
the light of day had been forever
barred from his vision, the young farm
er boy sol out to win an education
and with a determination to serve his
state in spite of his handicap of blind
ness. Having advanced only to the
fourth grade in common school, and
knowing that his family was unable to
give him ail education, he set to work
and, hy his own effort, working during
school terms and vacation, earned and
paid for his education, graduating from
the University of Georgia in 1914.
Since that time ho lias successfully
practiced law in the City of Augusta,
where he is considered one of the
ablest of the younger lawyers of that
section. McDonald is now in his early
thirties.
Mr. McDonald is a man whose cheer
fulness is en inspiration to Ills friends,
of whom there are thousands. As an
evidence of his popularity and ability
the voters of Richmond County have
for three successive terms sent him to
the State Legislature over opposition.
Walter R. McDonald.
In the Legislature,- he has made an
active, efficient and able member.
Mr. McDonald’s host of friends
throughout the slate confidently pre
dict his election, and, if elected, Geor
gia will have a capable and efficient of
ficer and the people of Georgia will
have, in this self-made, blind man, an
honest and true public servant.

Judge Richard B. Russell
In Race For Chief Justice
Judge Richard B. Russell, one of
Georgia’s able lawyers, and familiarly
known as “Plain Dick Russeli, has
just announced his candidacy for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Georgia, ns follows:
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA:
In announcing my candidacy for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
my native Stute, upon my record of
judicial service on the Superior Court
Bondi and the State Court of Appeals,
viiere are two things I wish to stress:
First — I do not believe in a life
tenure of public office, whether it he
Governor. Judge or any other. It is
often true that change in office is high-
lv beneficial to the public interest.
Second The Constitution of this
Slate commands that the Supreme
Court Judges, just as oilier State of
ficials, shall be elected by the whole
people, regardless of any distinction
as to class or profession.
The Constitution is right: The peo
ple can he counted upon to make as
good a selection of their Judges as the>
can of their Governor, United States
Senator, or any other high official.
The Constitution provides that the
term of office of the Chief Justice shall
be six years. Yet many of those op
posing me are avowedly or ImpHed y
advocating life tenure, which would
make it impossible for many able sons
and daughters of Ceorgia ever to as
pire to positions of public trust and
honor. The boys and girls of Georgia
are, each and every one, entitled to
their opportunity. The principle ihat
a change in Judgeship is in no sense
injurious to the public interest, was
set up and endorsed by Chief Justices
Warner and Bleckley, who voluntarily
retired in their declining years, and
whose example was followed by a num
ber of our ablest Associate Justices.
If honored by your ballots with the
Chief Justiceship. I shall enter upon
the discharge of my duties owing no
allegiance except to the State, and ac
tuated b> no motive save to render
p irgia, iu the best years of my lile,
.Judge If. H. KuhhuII
