VOL. XXXII FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, AUGUST 20, 1920. NO. 5. GOVERNOR DORSEY SPEAKS Governor Dorsey spoke here yester day in the interest of his candidacy for the United States Senate. Mr. Dorsey was born and partly reared in our town. He „ was admitted to the bar in Fayetteville and has always manifesed a lively interest in the peo ple and affairs of our county. His parents and grandparents were born and reared in our county. He had a good audience, and his friends appre ciated and approved his viev/s as out lined. Mr. Dorsey and his people have been active for Democracy in this sec tion, and his many friends throughout the county are manifesting much in terest in his race for the United States Senate. Advertise in this Paper To the Voters of Fayette County: I hereby announce for the office of County Representative in the General Assembly of Georgia, subject to the Democratic primary to be.held.on the 8th day of September. If elected, I promise, to give my county, as I did my country in time of war, my very best efforts to merit your confidence. As my wounds, while oversea, were such as to keep me from making an active canvass at this time, and the time is so short to see all the people, I shall certainly appreciate the assit- ance of my friends in giving me their support and influence from now until the election is over. Sincerely,, FERREiL A. SAMS. LOCALS. True Liberty. True liberty can exist only when Justice is equally administered to all.* —Lord Mansfield. Our people are divided into two political camps. The line between them is sharply drawn. On one side'is the great host o ftrue blue, tried and On one side is the great host of true blue, tried and stalwart democrats who fight WITH our party and not On the other side are the extremists, radicals, insur- surgents, who carp, criticise, condemn. There is no middle ground in this campaign—no place for straddlers, trimmers, political acrobats. Governor Dorsey is the accepted candiadte of an over whelming majority of the sterling democrats who , stand steadfast in the faith of our fathers. They know he is a 100 per cent Democrat—that his feet are firmly planted on the platform of National Democracy. He is in absolute harmony with our Party principles and policies and he is absolutely against Republican princi ples and policies. Governor Dorsey Jias a notable constructive record. He has done more for the Public Schools, for Highways, for the protection of the'people’s health than any other public official in years. He has used his influence and the authority of his office to the utmost limit— To establish a great state-wide Highway system To better the Public School system, To secure State aid for County High Schools, To reduce Illiteracy, To combat epidemics of influenza, meningitis, diphthe ria, and smallpox To wipe out malaria—a movement which has already saved untold suffering and lives; To save children from Blindness; To help the feeble-minded, To care for Tubercular victims, To save boys who starred wrong and to give them use ful training, To give better protection to banks and depositors, To check swindling stock salesmen; To enact the Workmen’s Compensation measure, the greatest piece of progressive legislation ever enacted in Georgia in the interest of laboring men; To oppose wasteful’spending of the people’s money; To develop and construct inland waterways. We ask all Georgians to vote for Governor Dorsey for the Senate. Hugh H. Gordon, Jr., Chairman, DORSEY CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. Headquarters, Kimball House, Atlanta. The body of Wm. R.
