THE BARROW TIMES The Race for Representative. In the race for representative in this county the league of na tions was made an issue and a test as to a candidate’s claims on the voters. 1 was a candidate and urged by many to come out unreservedly against the league. 1 was opposed to the league with out some reservations safeguard ing'our country and preventing our young men from being forced to go to Europe to fight for other nations, hut have always felt that if a league could he formed that would prevent future terrible wars like the one we have recently passed through it would he a bless ing to humanity. It was and is a matter acted up on by the United States senate and outside of the domain of a Georgia legist a tu re. Being made an issue, however, numbers of my strong personal friends cast their ballots against me. Men often become excited in campaigns and are influenced by questions foreign to the duties coming before men elected to offi cial positions. This is unfortunate but is nev ertheless done and will continue to he done as long as the world continues. The verdict of tlie people is su preme and we should never become a grouch and sour on the world be cause tilings do not come our way. We are all dependent on one an other and should forget these po litical fights after they are over and pull together and work togeth er, cultivate closer friendships, stand by and encourage those who are elected and look on the bright side of life. I thank my friends, and with congratulations to Mr. Russell, our next representative, and best wish es for all of our people. 1 am, Yours truly, A. 0. LAMAR. FULLFORD COOK, SON OF MR. L. A.
