A HEARTY ENDORSEMENT
OF JUD6E F. Z. CURRY
Jenkinsborg, Aug 26.
Mr. Editor: —ln reading your ed
itorial on the Senatorshipinyour last
weeks issue I wish to endorse your
views in their entirety.
We want a man who is wholly inde
pendent of the ring Jthat dominates
the Jackßon City Government, the
ring that has made such strennous ef
forts to control our County politics.
Such a man I deem Judge F. Z. Cur
ry to be. He has proven himself to
be a ring “buster." He haß fought
his way through more cursing and
abuse, and came out with less dam
age than any man that ever ran a
foui of the political ring in Jackson.
Judge Curry is a man who will make
himself seen, heard, and felt in the
Georgia Senate; A man of ability,
and the courage of his convictions,
The man who is today waging to a
finish the battle of the tax pavers of
thy city of Jackson, the man whom
the county needs and for whom the
people will rise up and vote to the
extent that the old ring will not dare
to raise it’s hydra head again for
many years to come.

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT
OF JUD6E F. Z, CURRY
Mr. Editor
I was yery much interested in
an article of your last issue in regard
to the general make up of our next
Senator. You are right in saying
that we want a person to represent us
that does more than merely hold
down a chair Indeed we have had e
nongh of that kind. We want a man
of back bone and nerve, with some
good horse eenae and executive abil
ity. A roan who knows the wants of
our people, and with enough moral
courage to stand for their rights. A
man who will not fight a measure
with all of his might and when he sees
that his crowd are helplessly defeated
then for the sake of popularity, vote
for the measure he so bitterly fought.
A man like that is very dangerous
indeed. Neither side can trust him, A
person should always act in such a
way that he could give a reason for
said acts, especially when he is acting
for the public. But when a person is
on both sideß of a question, I dont
see how he could give a satisfactory
reason for so doing. We need a man
who has convictions and courage e
nougb to 6tand by them or resign
aDd come home.
It is very likely that some import
ant matters for the next few years
will come before the legislature. The
rail roads, truet and liquor crowds are
goiug to make a very desperate effort
to prevent the reform sentiment to
maintain itself and to inact other re
form measures into law and as it is
Butts County’s time to elect the Sen
ator for the 26bh Senatorial district,
as you rightly say let’s hold up the
high standard that we hare hereto
fore maintained. Let’s put a roan
there ao when an important measure
comes before it’s members, his voice
as well as voce will be either
for er against it. Get on the right
side and stay there, though you go
down in defeat. Be right and stay
right .though you be alone. Dont
strangle it in birth and when your
rough hand* fail to crush it’s life out
then foster it as though you were it’s
father. Let s elect a man who will
strike evils in all its forms, high or
low, popular or unpopular, but always
for the peoples rights, although in ad
vocatingthem you are againßt the
rich and high. One who will strike
the monied interest and the trust anc
monopolies when the people are op
pressed by them.
I dont think we have a man who
will more fitly fill this position than
Tom and Jerry. He hae some expe
rience along thia line and waa equa >
to the test.
