He has published no ridiculous claims as news items with adv. ufter them. He has made no combinations. He has stood on his own merits alone. He lias no great political ma chine run by professional politi cians. He has made from one to five speeches per day since June Ist. He has tried to meet the peo ple face to face. The people know him now. They have their chance to vote for a great man. worthy to be Governor of a great State. Platform promises may be broken like pie-crust.

Fifty years of faithful service at last asks its reward. A long life well lived deserves to be crowned with honor. He has twenty years more of experience than his opponents. The vigorous campaign that he has made demonstrates that he has more fire and energy than his opponents put together. Do not be deceived. He is wor thy. and he will win.

W. A. Cfi-UJTEKS. CHARTERS WEAVES A TANGLED WEB IN HIS EF FORTS TO DECEIVE THE PEOPLE ON TOM BELL’S MILEAGE VOTE. O Tom Bell Shows the History of Mileage Legislation. Congressman Thos. M. Bell in reply to Col. Chai tors’ “Open Let tor'’ on an alleged mileage vote clearly proved the falsity of the statements made by Charters and shows that the latter, in the face of undisputed facts, continues to m isrepresent Mr Hell’s vote. The following open letter to Col. Char ten is so clear and convincing that no person can have any doubt whatever about the correctness of Tom Kell’s position : Gainesville, Ga , Aug. 8, 11*1 f. Col. \V r . A. Charters, Gainesville, Ga. 1 have recived your “open Let ter” addressed to me regarding what you allege to be my vote on mileage on April 17,1914, and, as usual, you attempt to decivo the people. This was not a vote on reduction of mileage at ail, but a proposition to substitute an open and unlimited expense Recount instead of mileage. Under the proposition voted on April 17,191 1 members of Congress could make their expense as much as they wanted to, and no one could ever approximate how much it would cost the Government, and no appropriation could bo made to cover it. Under the proposition i voted against on April 17, 1914, if a member of Congress had a dozen in his family the whole number could be included in this expense account. In fact, were A Card To the voters of Hanks County: Owing to the length of time be tween now and the election it will be impossible for me to get around to see all the people, there foie if you are among those who 1 may tail lo see, it will be for the lack of time and for no other reason. The issues upon which 1 am making the race for Representative are published with my announce ment for your consideration. These are the issues that are most vital, and should interest you more than a second term for a man who is running without a platform of any kind and who has been your Rep resentative for two years without an issue. I invite your attention to the Journal of the House of Repre sentatives 19IS and see if your Representatives has done or tried to do anything for the people of this county or the state at large. It is your aim in voting for a man to represent you in the law making body, to vote for the man who is the best qualified to till the position and who will represent you at all times and on all ques tions that might come before the House. In asking your support 1 do it after careful consideration of my ability, and if you honor me with i election to the office 1 assure you that I will give to you the very i best service that 1 can render, j realizing and remembering that the welfare of the people depends upon the passage and enforcement | ot just and wholesome laws,as welli as my future success would depend upon my record, uie beiue a young man and my reputation being at stake. 1 will greatly appreciate vo ir supj ort ami pieuge you in return PARKS CCVRTT fOCBKAL, HOMERGA. you elected to Congress, and there is not even a remote probability of that, you could include not only the expense of your family going (o and coining from Washington, but also your negro ehaffeur, Clay ton Trapp, as well. The Senate voted almost solidly against this proposition, as I dd, and Hotly turned downed the same. When the bill came back to the House and a direct vote against twenty cents mileage was taken 1 voted for the reduction to iive cents per mile, as the Record will show. I deny emphatically that 1 reversed my position, because the vote of April 17th was not to re duee mileage at all, as 1 have here tofore stated. Why is it that you are publishing this statement on the eve of election, when you could have done so three or four weeks ago and been as near the truth then as you are lowt I repeat my offer of >?H)0 if yon will show by the Record that I ever failed to vote for a reduction of mileage when such a vote was taken. 1 have always voted in the inter est of the people, and your attempt to docived them in this matter, as your other misrepresentations in this campaign, will not avail you anything as the people know they can trust me. Respectfully, Taos. M. Kki.l A Card When Hon. M. L. Brittain was elected to the office of State School Superintendent the Atlanta Con stitution said that the State was fortunate in securing his services. I feel sure that the Constitution was correct in making this state ment. In the first place, Mr. Hrattain is eminently qualified for the office. Then his long experience in school work gives him a special fitness. Hut best of 11, he is greatly inter ested in building up the common, country schools, and there is no boy or girl in the State too poor or humble for him to extend to him or her a helping hand. It would give him pleasure to do so. It is doubtful whether any other Southern State has his equal as a state superintendent of education. Respectfully, J. T. Wish.
