TO THE VOTERS OF THE SIXTH

GEORGIA TECH
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, JULY 19. 1918
which record I respectfully submit
to the consideration of the voters of
the Sixth District.
In addition to taking an active part
in all general legislation enacted
while I was a member of the House
and Senate for many years of ser
vice, I am the sole author of the fol
lowing general legislation which is
of benefit to all the people of the
State:
(1) The Parole Law whereby men
who have been convicted of crime
and sentenced under the lava to penal
service, are given another opportunity
in life of becoming useful and re
spected citizens.
(2( That Constitutional Amend
ment which authorizes counties to
give unto the rural pupils the same
free high school trainingas is afforded
by the towns and cities; and which
gives the county authorities the right
to use the State’s appropriation for
the common schools in connection
with high school instruction, and
(3) That Act which prevented the
Louisville and Nashville Railway Cos.
from obtaining a charter from the
State to parallel the tracks of the
State’s road, the Western and Atlan
tic from Chattanooga to Atlanta, until
after the new lease was made by the
W. and A. Commission with the
Louisville and Nashville for a period
of fifty years, and at a much higher
rate of rental than was ever obtained
before.
I was elected President of the Sen
ate and ex-officio Lieutenant Govern
or of the State for the years 1915-
1916 without opposition.
On my election to Congress I shall
devote myself to the duties of a Con
gressman with the purpose of serving
the people of my District, State and
Country as faithfully as I have en
deavored to serve the people of my
county and State in the State Legis
lature.
We must stand united on all meas
ures until the present wrar against
Germany is won for our country,
and American lives and property are
made secure beneath the folds of
our flag throughout the entire world.
After the war is won for our peo
ple and when we return with joy and
gladness to our pursuits of peaceful
life, the important questions both for
eign and domestic which will so vital
ly affect our future prosperity, must
be solved by Congress with an eye
single to the interests of America, so
as to accord full liberty with exact
justice to all classes of our citizens.
Our State sovereignty must ,be
preserved if vie would perpetuate
our form of Government.
Next in importance is the question
of land and water transportation de
velopment, and the regulating and
improving of our transportation fa
cilities in order that the country may
be properly developed and defended,
and the destructive conflicts between
capital and labor prevented by pro
viding just returns unto capital act
ually invested and fair working hours
and wages for labor.
I greatly desire the proper develop
ment of Georgia’s deep-sea ports, and
heartily endorse the proposed plan of
the business men of Bibb county to
obtain government aid in
opening the Ocmulgee channel so as
to make it navigable all the year
round, and equip it with a sufficient
number of freight barges to take care
of the commerce that will be carried.
This waterway from Maco nto Bruns
wick is nature’s gift to the Sixth Dis
trict and should be utilized to its ef
fective fullness. It should be opera
ted in conjunction with the deep-sea
connections of the Merchant Marine
to be oeprated after the war, there
by greatly benefiting the people of
the District and the State.
I shall work for a permanent lo
cation of the military camp at Camp
Wheeler. This camp because of its
naturally healthful and advanta
geous surroundings, being located in
the heart of the State, is entitled to
as many soldiers as any camp in the
State and should have them.
Our immigration lavas should be
changed so as to bar from our coun
try every undesirable alien; and our
naturalization laws changed so as to
prevent any enemy of our country
exercising the right to vote and en
joying the protection of our citizen
ship.
Rural free delivery of the mails
should be extended until every home
is reached; while educational and vo
cational training of our people
should be rendered thorough and ef
fective.
The government farm loan sys
tem with its low rate of interest to
the borrowers should be so simplified
and perfected as to make it possible
for those who wish to avail them
selves of its benefits can do so with
out unnecessary delay or expense.
Believing in the great principles
of the Democratic Party, and its
motto: "equal rights to all and spe
cial privilges to none,’’ I submit my
candidacy and respectfully solicit
with appreciation your votes and in
fluence with the promise that on
election I shall devote my energy
and best efforts to the solution of all
questions that may come unto me,
pledging that my influence and vote
shall be used solely for the best in
terests of the people whom I alone
shall serve.
Respectfully,
OGDEN PERSONS.

In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says:
“I was in the hospital with stomach
trouble and had quite a siege. It
seemed I would never get my strength
baqk after I came out, I had been so
ill. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yet did not feel like get
ting around. My skin was yellow. My
appetite poor. I was in pretty bad
shape and began to look around for a
tonic. I felt like part of the trouble
was lack of iron in my blood. I was
so easily worried, so easily upset. I
| heard of Ziron and knew it would help
me. I began to take it and the im
provement was great. It strength
ened me, renewed my nerves and
toned up my system.”
When you feel that you need
strength, remember that Ziron is a
perfected preparation of iron salts,
combined with other strength-giving
ingredients. Try Ziron.
