HON. JOHN M. BROWN,
Editor Democrat :
Dear Sir and Friend : I note with
a good deal ot pleasure that you have
consented to serve the people ot the
Eighth Senatorial District "in the
Senate.
1 think ot all the limes, this is the
one when this district, should be
represented by a man of strong con-
j victions, on the several lines you
i advocate. I have known yon for
| twenty- five years^ and I know you
I are ceasifetent.
{ We want a man who never, flops
| nor wavers. I have been a constant
reader of your paper since 1882 and
know when you take a stand, you
stand there, advocating principles
of sound Democracy.
I am satisfied beyond doubt |you
are the man we need at this time
and I assure you that onr section
is for you overwhelmingly.
Very] truly,
W. J. Dollar.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOR CONGRESSMAN.
To the People of the Second Congressional
District.'
This announces to yon that I am a can
didate for Congress. I shall go direct to
the people of this District in support of the
moral and political principles for which 1
have heretofore actively and openly stood
in Georgia. As they have been endorsed
| by the masses of this State and are being
J enacted ruto law by the lawmaking powers
j of Georgia, so 1 believe they should be
j fearlessly supported and advocated until
j they are endorsed by the entire country
j and written upon the Statutes of the Na-
| tion. Substantially the same evils which
J. have afflicted our State, no less and even
I more afflict the Nation. At seasonable
I times I shall with vinor and without com-
. promise go to the People, upon* these Prin-
i ciples for endorsement and support.
