ANNOUNCEMENTS. FOR CONGRESS. Forsyth, Ga., Feb. 1, 1910. To the People of the Sixth Congression al District: I am a candidate for Congress sub ject to Democratic nomination. In this announcement I will not un dertake to incorporate my entire idat form, but cannot refrain from saying that as a member of Congress I would strenuously oppose all extravagant ex penditure of the peoples money and all unnecessary and burdensome taxation, and every effort made to encroach up on “states rights” and would stand un flinchingly and unfalteringly against all laws in conflict with the principle “Equal rights for all and special privi leges to none.” 1 believe that this should be in reali ty as it is in theory a government of the people, by the people and FOlt people. As your representative I would de vote to the duties of my office my time, my energy and whatever of talent I have and requests from any citizen of the District however humble he might be, would receive prompt and careful attention. If elected I will enter upon the dis charge of my duties without pledge or promise to any man or set of men but absolutely free and independent to do my full duty as God gives me the light to’see it. Very respectfully, O. H. 11. BLOODWORTH. FOR CONGRESS. To the Voters of the Sixth Congress ional District: I have a laudable ambition to repre sent this district in the 62nd Congress, therefore I submit to you this formal announcement of my candidacy, sub ject to the Democratic primary and I earnestly solicit your vote and support. I shall endeavor to canvass each county ami meet ns many of you per sonally as it is possible for me to do be tween this and the date the primary is held. And then, should you vote for me and elect me, I promise to conse crate my very best efforts and what ever talents and ability l possess to your service. Respectfully yours, .1. J. FLYNT. FOR CONGRFW. I am a candidate for renomination to the office of Representative in Con gress from the Sixth District in the pri mary election, which, under the law, will be held next August. I believe that my record as a Repre sentative, of which i invite the closest scrutiny, justifies me in saying that 1 have discharged every duty and obli gation to the people who have honored me with that high and responsible of fice. During the entire period of my service in the House, I have been faced by a Republican majority, strongly ad verse in sentiment and policy to the best interests of the people of my sec tion, but my record here will demon strate that in every word I have spoken and in every vote I have east, I have had an eye single to the honor and welfare of the ]>eople l represent. Whether my duty as a Representative has called me to resist the insidious at tempts that are being constantly mad? to undermine the sovereign dignity of the States, to oppose the encroachments of organized monopoly upon the rights and substance of the people, or to de fend the institutions and glorious tradi tions of our own section, l have re sponded to that call with all the force and vigor of my being. As the Repre sentative of a free people, 1 have de nounced tyranny in whatever form it has api>eared, and actively participa ted in the movement to wrest the con trol of the House from the arrogant despotism that has been erected in the people’s forum by the Speaker and his Committee on Rules. My record in this and all other matters will most conclusively show that I have never on any occasion faltered or hesitated in the course of duty dictated by perfect loyalty to my constituents and party. Believing that my long experience will enable me to serve more efficient ly the people of the District in the next House, which, from all indica tions, will be Democratic, and with grateful appreciation of their support and confidence in the past, I ask a re nomination at the hands of my con stituency. C. L. BARTLETT. FOR REPRESENTATIVE. I hereby announce myself as a can didate for re-election for representative from Butts county, subject to the Dem ocratic primary. If elected 1 will do ray best in the interests of the masses of the people, believing I can better serve ray county in the second term, as the first term is necessary to acquaint representative with the duties of the offioe. I heartily appreciate what the BUTTS COUNIY PROGRESS, JaCKSON, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1910. people have done for me and will ap preciate what they may do for me in the future. J. MATT McMICHAEL.

I earnestly solicit the support and votes of the circuit. E. F. Dupree. For Superior Court Judge.
