ing a strictly first class assistant

It did not create a sensation
when Governor Smith very prop
erly appointed Mrs. Cobb State
Librarian, and yet at one time
the eligibility of women for that
place was the discussion of the
state.
The women were tremendously
interested and brought all the
influence they had to bear upon
the legislature, that body finally
acting favorably to the women,
whose interest was in behalf of
Miss Ellen Dorrch, now Mrs.
Longstreet. Governor Atkinson
however, failed to make the ap
pointment and Miss Dortch later
married General Longstreet.
The writer was at that time edit
ing the Rome Georgian and
worked hard for the passage of
the bill and for Miss Dortch.
Tremendous pressure was
brought to bear on Governor
Candler to appoint Mrs. W. Y.
Atkinson, widow of the late Gov
ernor, but in this as in several
other things, he failed to do the
right thing, so it remains for
Governor Smith to have the dis
tinction of being the first Gov
ernor of Georgia to appoint a
woman to the office of State
Librarian.
It was well done, for Mrs.
Cobb should have had it long
ago, and if the Governor does
several more things like that he
will find that he has added unto
himself wisdom and stature.—

For Congress.
To the voters of the Sixth Congressional
District:—l am a candidate for Congress
subject to the Democratic nomination.
llefore the election—the date of which has
not been fixed—l would like to grasp the
hand and speak face to face with each voter
In the district, but this will hardly be pos
sible. Hence, I shall endeavor to reaoh the
voters and make known my platform—my
view* on public questions—through the
medium of letters, the newspapers and pub
lic addresses.
Whereof I speak X will be glad to have my
distinguished opponent meet me In Joint
debate; and shall Invite him to‘do so.
Believing In a cleun election and an hon
est ballot,! am opposed to the use of money”
whiskey, or any other thing for the purpose

by such practices.

Not counting the Republican regime Just
after the war, and when there was a Repub
lican Congressman whose home was In Ma
con, Bibb county has had—with the excep
tion of two years—the Congressman con
tinuously for over a third of a century. Hon.
.1. H. Blount was In congress twenty years
and Judge Bartlett, at the expiration of the
present term of office, will have served
fourteen years, making a grand total of
thirty-four years for only two men and both
from Bibb county.
Is It not about time for Bibb to divide
honors with the other counties of the dis
trict? Very Respectfully,
O. H. B. B LOO !>WORTH.
For Congress.
To the voter* of the Blxtb Congressional
District:—l am a candidate for re-election
to Congress subject to the Democratic Pri
mary to be held on the 4th of June.
It has been my constant aim and ambition
to serve faithfully the people of the
Sixth District, and I think my record In
Congress, of which I invite the closest scrut
iny, Jwill demonstrate that I have done so.
Always at my post of duty, I have ever
defended, my party and my people.
If returned to Congress, I pledge the peo
ple of my District the same steadfast ad
herence to the principles of Democracy that
has marked my record In the past, and the
same prompt and faithful attention that I
have at all times striven to give to the re
quests and needs of my constituents.
The prospects for a Democratic House in
the next Congress are more favorable than
they have *een for many years, and In the
event our Party should succeed In the fall
elections, my long experience In Congress
would enable me to render my constituents
and the country more efficient service than
has been possible In a Republican House.
Feeling deeply grateful for your confi
dence in the past, I ask your support In the
coming primary.
Respectfully Yours,
C. L. BARTLETT,
