SUPT. DEMPSEY APPRECIATES
THE RECENT APPROVAL OF HIS WORK
I want to thank the many good personal friends who
so loyally supported my recent campaign for County
School Superintendent. The support of those who vo
ted for me on the merits of the situation is greatly appre
ciated, also.
Since the majority of the people have spoken their
will again, let us all forget politics as soon as possible, get
solidly behind our schools, and hold up the hands of the
one that has been chosen to watch for the interests of
your children.
Following the fixed policy of the last three years, I
shall ever try to let every official act be with an eye sin
gle to the best interests of the schools. The friendly sup
port of all school officials, teachers, patrons, and children
is very necessary if we are to accomplish the most for all.
Respectfully,
T. J. DEMPSEY, JR.
Supt. Schools Butts County.

I haven’t words to sufficiently express my appreciation
of the wonderful vote given mein Friday’s primary but I

Asa public official I have given the people the best that

of service to the people.
This renewed expression of confidence, I feel, places me
under an obligation to strive harder than ever before in pro

serving the people in every other we can.
Yours sincerely.
