FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL
To. the White Citizens of the Wes
tern Circiut:
I desire to let the white citizens
of this circuit know that I will ap
preciate their help, influence and
vote for re-election as Solicitor Gen
eral.
It has been my ambition to serve
you in a manner that would meet
with your approval. I have given
my time and attention (day and
night) to the duties of the office,
and if you should see fit to honor
me with another term, it shall be my
policy to continue to try to suppress
crime in all of its forms.
The security of the home, the pro
tection of property, and the safe
guarding of the citizens’ liberty, de
fend upon the enforcement of the
law, and a respect for the Court’s
decrees and sentences, by those in
authority, as well as by private cit
izens. The Solicitor General, in a
large measure, is the officer upon
whom our people rely to insure this
protection.
This being my first term in office
and in public life, I have; no doubt,
made mistakes; they were due, how
ever, to “an error of the head and
not of the heart.’’ I, therefore, feel
and believe that my experience and
acquaintance with the people have
eqiupped me for better service and
more usefulness for another term
than I have been able to render dur
ing the past three years.
In the light of the kind expres
sions from the Grand Juries under
whom I have been permitted to serve
and from the people generally, I be
lieve it is the will of the God-fear
ing and law-abiding White citizens,
that I should be re-elected and given
and indorsement.
As stated in my race before you
saw fit to elect me, —“If l give satis
faction and you see fit to re-elect me
and I deem it to my interest, we
will keep company,” so if in your
judgment my public service haa been
satisfactory, I' will ask you to give
me another term as an indorsement
. of my efforts to measure up to the
\ responsibilities of the office.
In order to keep up with the work
of the Solicitor General’s office, it
practically takes one’s entire time.
We are holding court from ten to
eleven months in the year, and when
not actually engaged in the court
house, my time is given to the prep
aration of cases. As you well know
I have attended committal trials and
inquests and made personal examina
tion of witnesses, in order to have
my cases rehdy for trial. I will
therefore, have very little time, if
any, to call upon the people in per
son and ask them for their votes. In
view of this fact, I earnestly request
you to look after my interest on the
outside, while I am on the inside,
fighting for your welfare and protec
tion.
Thanking you for your past sup
port and trusting that I may be deem
ed worthy of your suffrage, and that
you will honor me with a second
term, I am, Yours for service,
JOHN B. GAMBLE.

AMERICA'S GREATEST
WOMAN ORATOR HERE.
Mrs. Mary Harris Armour, Temper
ance Leader, to Lecture at Court
House, April 7th.
Mrs. Mary Harris Armour Amer
ica’s greatest temperance orator, will
speak here under the auspices of
the W. C. T. U. on April 7. John B.
Gough, Sam Jones and William Jen
nings Bryan were not greater ora
tors in their field than is Mrs. Ar
mour in the Temperance world .
Every citizen of Winder should lay
aside all domestic and financial en
gagements and go out to hear her.
A writer in describing her work,
says: “And there was one, a South
ern woman, a Georgia woman, who
addressed the vast convention. She
was a small woman, quick of move
mentment, a bundle of nerves. She
was a live wire. One time she was
an intellectual termagaut, engaged
in denunciatory debortation; again
she was an Esther pleading passion
ately for her people; again she was
a Jean of Arc calling on her coun
trymen to arise buckle on the bay
onet and defend themselves. She
was eloquent, tragic, formidable, now
a cyclone in petticoats, with a voice
of thunder. Now moving about with
serpentine graciosity and pleading in
the most dulcet and tender tones.
“She ran the entire gamut from
an insidious humor that would steal
a smile from the lips of grief to a
malevolent and objurgatory tirade
against her pet enemy that was mar
velous in its rhetorical zeal and
intensity.”
King Alcohol has no greater or
more potent enemy on the American
continent than this noble Georgia
woman.
Reason, logic, eloquence, sympa
thy, pathos, love, power and ability
make her easily the state’s greatest
prohibition factor.
Don’t fail to hear her. Her ad
dress will be a rare inspiration and
treat to all who hear it.
