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- parties rre agreed that much THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DO UGLAS. GEORGIA, AUG., 19 1916. To Furnish Transportation Than Ever The same business laws apply to Railroads as to all other concerns and with State and Federal jurisdiction over them, their every operation is open to the public. It is no secret how their costs have and are increasing, while the prices to be charged for their manufactured product transportation remains fixed by law. General business organizations meet increased expenses from year to j> year and day to day by increasing prices and by economies not permitted | to Railroads. The Railroads of Georgia are hauling freight today at rates less than ? those fixed in 1880. In what way are the Railroads different from other business enterprises k that they can live without increasing their prices when expenses are con * tinually increasing? To the average individual, the Railroad is an engine and passenger 1 coaches, or freight cars. Below is the precentage of increased costs of these items which the Railroads have had to bear between 1907 and 1916: % i r*. LOCOMOTIVES 45% j PASSENGER, MAIL AND EXPRESS CARS 93% ; ; FREIGHT CAR EQUIPMENT 33% Average percentage increase in cost of all ; equipment 62% In previous statements the average per cent of increase in price of twenty five necessary articles in daily use by the Railroads of Georgia, from angle bars to waste cotton, has been shown to be .. . . : 77.71% The percentage of increase iR wages paid for labor has been 142. % The percentage of increase in taxes paid bv the Railroads of Geoflfia in Georgia alone (for 1915 over 1901 ) has been 178. % AND YET, THE FREIGHT RATES TODAY ARE LOWER THAN THEY WERE IN 1880. 2 .4 Notwithstanding such increased cost? public improvements must go | on. Of the sixty-four railroads operating in Georgia, nine, namely, the ' Atlanta & West Point Georgia Railroad Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Georgia Southern & Florida Atlantic Coast Line Seaboard Air Line 4 Central of Georgia Southern, and Western & Atlantic, for the eight years ending June 30, 1915, spent for per manent improvements in the State of Georgia, not in cluding .any expenses of operation or maintenance, or j rolling stock whatever, the sum of . . . . $22,304,773.00 . For additional right-of-way and land for stations alone, CIO CUQ 00 there was paid to the people of Georgia the total sum of Oio,o3y.Za For station buildings, the sum of 1,891,475.79 For none of these items is there any increased revenue received by the carriers. Nor are any of these expenditures made from earnings, hut are solely investments which have been provided for by additional capital.

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, te 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 begining of the Cival war the South owned 41 per cent of the wealth of the United States. But after the war the polioy was changed, and the prod ucts of Manufacturers protected, and A other products of the South neglect ed. As a result, it is estimated that 70 per cent of the farms in this sec tion are under a mortgage loan, and 67000 little white children of Georgia of school age are unable to read or write because their parents are too poor to get them into school. The prosperity of the producers 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 which the cotton growers and others mya negotiate with purchasers throught the world for the best price of cotton and other products, there by protecting their interests from speculation. The Government has, by irrigation and drainage, reclaimed and turned into wealth millions of acres of worth less land in the West, and there are thousands of acres of valuable land* 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 Brunswick and St. Morys. 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. lam going directly to the people with my cam paign. The election of a Congressman is of more 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, J W. E. THOAMS. FOR CONGRESS. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE ELEVEN TH DISTRICT OF GEORGIA: I beg to formally announce my can didacy to ■ ucceed myself as your rep rYentative in the sixty-fifth Congress from the Eleventh District of Georgia. I feel the deepest sense ox gratitude for the partial consideration which you have accorded me, and have at all times been fully conscious of the duties and responsibilities resting on me. I am better able to represent you now than over before, and have learn ed that which any new member of Congress must learn before he can hope to reach the same degree of efficiency. I am standing squarely and con fidently upon the record I have made, and point with pardonable pride to the achievements of the present adminis tration which stand unparalled in the history of this country. I have done my humble part toward the enact ment into law of the many construct ive pieces of legislation which we have passed, bringing relief and opportun ity to the great masses of the people everywhere. We are today at peace with the world; happy and prosperous, with our rights on the land and on the seas preserved and our standing and dig nity as a nation fully upheld. I have stood by our great Presi dent in the many exigencies that have arisen and have helped to uphold Lis righteous hands in both his domestic and foriegn policies. I shall hope to give you a full account of my stew ardship before the primary in Sept ember.
