To the People of the Second Congressional

This announces to you 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 I
have heretofore actively and openly stood
in Georgia. As they have been endorsed
by the masses of this State and are being
enacted into law by the lawmaking powers
of Georgia, so I believe they should be
fearlessly supported and advocated until
they are endorsed by the entire country
and written upon the Statutes of the Na
tion. Substantially the same evils which
have afflicted our State, no less and even
more afflict the Nation. At seasonable
times I shall with vinor and without com
promise go to the People, upon these Prin
ciples for endorsement and support.

FOR STATE SENATOR.
To White Democratic Voters of Decatur
County.-
I am a candidate for State Senator from
the Eighth Senatorial District in the ap
proaching White Democratic Primary upon
the principles and planks enunciated in
the Siate Democratic platform of 1907, »f
Macon, and as championed by myself in
and out of season for years past in The
Bainbridge Democrat and endorsed over
whelmingly in the State election of 1906
and subsequently in our local Prohibition
campaign and by the State Legislature of
1907.
My convictions on these and correllated
questions of local and’State policy I should
like to see embodied in statutory law, in a
spirit of conservatism, with due regard
to vested rights and equity, and if hon
ored by your choice I shall make it my
bounden duty to subserve our County’s,
our District’s and the State’s, and thus the
whole peoples best interests.
