FOR CONGRESS
TO THE VOTERS OF THE SIXTH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF
GEORGIA:
I am a candidate for the Sixty-
Sixth Congress, to succeed myself,
subject to such rules and regulations
as may be adopted by the Executive
Committee.
I have endeavored at ali times to
look after every interest of my con
stituents, and to represent them to
the best of my ability.
Since being in Congress, I have
been kept in Washington almost con
tinuously, and have not had the op
portuniy and pleasure of visiting my
constituents, as I would have under
other circumstances, but I felt it my
duty to remain at my post in these
perilous times, and render what as
sistance I could in successfully pros
ecuting the war.
If it is the will of the voters of the
Sixth District that I be returned to
Congress, I shall do all I can by word
and act, to bring this awful war to a
speedy and vicorious termination,
and then to devote myself with all the
energy I have to the passage of such
legislation as will tend to the up
building of our government, and if
possible, establish a lasting peace
among the nations of the earth, so
that freedom and liberty may be the
portion of mankind everywhere.
Thanking my constituents for past
favors, and hoping my candidacy may
meet with your approval, I am
Sincerely,
J. W. WISE.
FOR CONGRESS
TO THE VOTERS OF THE SIXTH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF
GEORGIA:
After a careful survey of the Sixth
Congressional District, I have decid
ed to become a candidate for Con
gress from this District, subject to
the rules governing the next Demo
cratic Primary.
I base my candidacy for Congress
on my record as a State legislator,
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 law 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
ic 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.

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 vae 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

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.

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 laws should be
changed so as to bar from our coun

naturalization laws changed so as to

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

shall serve.

OGDEN PERSONS.
