then made permanent officers of the
association and will serve for the
next two years as chairman and secre
tary of the district congressional
ecutive committee.
Mr. Wise was put in nomination
by Hon. J. J. Flynt, of Griffin. In a
short and appropriate speech Mr.'
Flynt told of |Mr. Wise’s services in
the past, of his ability, sincerity and
loyalty and declared he was glad to
have such a representative in congres s
during these perilous war times.
The nomination was seconded by
representatives from each of the
twelve counties in the district. Many
of these talks told of the boyhood of
Mr. Wise, of his rise to prominence,
of his honesty and unquestioned in
tegrity and his Christian characer.
Mr. J. 0. Gaston on the part of Butts
county seconded the nomination. By
a rising vote Mr. Wise was declared
the nominee.
In accepting the nomination Con
gressman Wise made a highly inter
esting and deeply impressive talk, in
which he stated that he could not ex
press in words the honor the voters
had conferred upon him. He said of
over one hundred votes he had cast
on the war only one had been criti-
cised. He pictured he great work done
by the United States in the past eigh
teen months in preparation to prose
cute the war vigorously. From an
army of a little over 100,000 at the
outbreak of the war, this country ha s
increased its army to more than
1,5000,000 in France and has more
than 3,000,000 under arms and will
have over 4,000,000 overseas within
another year; the navy had grown
from less than 100,000 officers and
enlisted men and about 300 ships to
more than 500,000 officers and men
and 2,000 ships; the merchant marine
has grown from about one million
ton s to over seven million tons; great
docks have been built in France; over
1,500 miles of railroad trackage has
been constructed, great warehouses
' built and other step s taken to push
the war.
Mr. Wise declared that we are go
] ing to win this war, which brought
forth hearty applause. The only issue
before the country is to win the war,
speedily, he said. To that end Mr.
Wise pledged his best efforts, and
said he was ready at all times to help
any and every boy who needed help
He ha s helped so many boys, he said,
that he has come to feel that the boys
are his own.
Mr. Wise showed his liberal attl-!
tude when he said he had no ill feel-,
ing towards those who voted against
him and was just as willing to help
the men who voted against him and
aas just as willing to help the men
who voted for hi s opponent as for
those who cast their ballots for him.
He said great issues would arise af
ter peace is made, but for the present
the only question is to bring the war
to a successful and speedy conclusion.
The only question before the country,
said Mr. Wise, is one of Americanism
and he declared he believed the people
of this country loyal and patriotic
and willing to save, sacrifice and help
win a glorious victory.
Hon. C. L. Redman, of Butts, and
Hon. Walter DeFore, of Bibb, offered
the following resolution which was
unanimously adopted:
“Whereas, the loyal and patriotic
Democrats of Georgia, and especially
the Sixth Congressional District,
have proven by their suffrage their
fealty to the Democratic Administra
tion of the Union at the recent pri
mary, by nominating only those can
didates whose loyalty and fidelity to
the principles of the Democratic party
has been proven, and
“Whereas, the greatest living Dem
ocrat, Woodrow Wilson, stands at the
head of the Democratic party of the
United States, guiding, directing and
controlling, not only the future lib
erty and happiness of our people, but
the destiny of the people’s of the
world, and
“Whereas, the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party from the Sixth Con
gressional District of Georgia, the
Hon. J. Walter Wise, stands for all
the great principles of the Democratic
party, to preserve which the world is
now waging the greatest war in its
history; in the recognition of his loy
alty, patriotism and ability he has
been assigned to the committee on
Military and Military Affairs, before
which all legislation touching and con
cerning the prosecution of this war is
brought.
“Now, therefore, we the Democrats
of the Sixth Congressional District of
Georgia, in convention assembled, in
the city of Macon, Ga., on this 20th
day of September, It)!8, do most
heartily endorse our Democratic Pres
ident, Woodrow Wilson, and his ad
ministration of the na'.ion’.? affairs.
“We do f .irlhir endorse the public
record of our nominee, J. Walter
Wise, and present hi mto the loyal
and patriotic voters of the Sixth Con
gressional District of Georgia as a
candidate and as a man having the
ability to represent this distrct in the
Congress of the United States with
credit and with honor.”

at Once
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children “California Syrup of
Figs,” that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, Mother! If coated, give
a teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit
laxative,” and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. When its little system is
full of cold, throat sore, has stomach
ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—
remember, a good “inside cleansing”
should always be the first treatment
given.
Millions of mothers keep “Califor
nia Syrup of Figs” handy; they know
a teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a
bottle of “California Syrup
of Figs,” which has directions for
babies, children of all ages and
grown-ups printed on the bottle. Be
ware of counterfeits sold here, so
don’t be fooled. Get the genuine,
made by “California Fig Syrup Com
pany.” advt.

to herald the coming of the little sunbeam

used by women for over half a century

out the waiting months, strain and tension
is relieved. The muscles are made elastic
and pliable so that when baby comes they
expand with ease and the pain and danger
at the crisis is naturally less.
Then, too, the nerves are not torn ana
drawn with that usual wrenching strain, and
many distresses, such as nervousness, nausea,
bearing down and stretching pains, are
among tho discomforts and debilitating ex
periences women who have used Mother's
Friend say they have entirely escaped by tho
application of this time-honored remedy.
Thousands of women have used Mothers

one of the greatest contributions to healthy,
happy motherhood.
