CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
stiMfetew* #wEP
? I 4f|fe*£
TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
THE ELEVENTH DISTRICT.
I hereby announce myself a candid
ate for Congress from the Eleventh
District of Georgia, in the Democra
tic Primary of September, 12th.
Ishall stand by the Constitution of
the United States and the Demo
cratic principals of equal rights to
all and special privileges to none. The
Congress has the power, by its tariff
regulations, to make certain sections
of the country rich and others poor.
It can make one class or section a
people of fortune and wealth, leav
ing other sections in destitute and
povety.
It shall be the aim of my candidacy
that the Congress in arranging its
tariff regulations, shall deal with all
classes alike.
Since both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties are agreed that, much
of the revenues of the Government
should be raised through the tariff
system, it should be the purpose of
Congress to fix the tariff so that all
interests should be dealt with alike,
and on equal terms. Under the pres
ent system the products of the man
ufacturers are protected, whereby the
manufacturer secures a profit in the
sale of his goods, while the products
of producers, of cotton, lumber and
naval stores are left off the protected
(list, resulting in a sale of these pro
ducts many times at cost of product
ion, and often less,, to pay high pro
tected prices for manufactured prod
ucts. This system adds to the wealth
of the large industries, while the prod
ucers of cotton, lumber and naval
stores generally conduct their enter
prises with little, if any, profit.
For many years the Congress in
arranging the tariff dealt alike with
both manufacturer and producers,
keeping the prices of cotton protect-
ed for about sixty years, and at the
J begining of the Cival war the South
i owned 41 per cent of the wealth of
I the United States. But after the war
the polioy was changed, and the prod
nets of Manufacturers protected, and
: other products of the South neglect
| ed. As a result, it is estimated that
70 per cent of the farms in this sec
-1 tion are under a mortgage loan, and
j 07000 little white children of Georgia
jof school age are unable to read or
| write because their parents are too
1 poor to get them into school.
The prosperity of the producers
j of cotton and other products is depend
ent upon a fair price for what they
have to sell. With out it, thousands
of our people are unable to educate
their children, and have to fight for
an actual existence.
I also favor a market •. bureau
through whichthe cotton growers and
others mya negotiate with purchasers
throught the world for the best price
of cotton and 1 other products, there>-
by protecting 'their interests frota
speculation. '
The Government has, by irrigation
and drainage, reclaimed and turned
into wealth millions of acres of worth
less, land in tne West,'and there are
thousands of acres of valuable lands
in the Eleventh ‘District!,-which, under
scientific and economal draining,
would be sources of comfort and pros
perity to those who own them, and
he Government owes it to these people
who are carring the burdens of the
Government, to give them such con
sideration] !
If with fair and equal opportunity
the land owners, cotton growers,
lumbermen and naval stores interests
in the Eleventh district can have reas
onable prosperity, the laborer will re
ceive his reward and all other interests
prosper as well.

I favor improving the ports at

I shall conduct my campaign upon
these and other issues which means
the peoples upliift, without indulging
in personal references to the other
candidates in the race, all of them
are known to the people. 1 am going
directly to the people with my cam-

The election of a Congressman is
of more vital interest to the people
than the election of any other public
official, since it is in Congress that
legislation is enacted that helps or
hurts the masses of the people.
Respectfully yours,
