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 powci, 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 o t my candidacy that the Congress in arranging its tariff regulations, shall deal with all classes alike. Since both the Republican and Dem ocratic partiet are agreed that much THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, AUG., 26 1916. See How the Railroads Have Helped These Towns Hundreds of Other Towns, Not Shown, Near and Adjacent • to These, Hava Been Similarly Benefited The hearing in progress before the Railroad Commission of Georgia, which began on August 17th, seeks as one of its ob jects to readjust and equalize the freight rales on shipments between the cities and towns wholly within Georgia, by removing discriminations, so that freight rates to and from towns in Georgia, similarly situated, will be the same, and no city can ship at a less rate than any other town to points equally distant and similarly situated. _ . Unless this readjustment is effected much of the improved condition possible by reason of the readjustment of mterstate freight rates, ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and effective in Georgia since Jaunary Ist, 1916, will be lost to Georgia shippers. The interstate readjustment has tremendously improved the rate condition of approximately two thousand towns in Georgia. They were formerly at a disadvantage as compared with their neighboring so-called basing point cities, on ship ments into Georgia, or on what is commonly known as “inbound freight.” The proposed Georgia, or intrastate readjustment, seeks to equalize, as far as possible, the freight rates between Geor gia points equally distant and similarly situated. . The detailed and striking improvement shown by reason of the reduced interstate freight rates, already in effect in the competitive relations with respect to Madison, Bremen, Richland and Ocilla as representative Georgia points already publish ed, has excited such general interest that additional and. widely separated points showing the benefits from the recent interstate ■ readjustments are given below. In order to get the full measure of these interstate readjustments, it is necessary to revise the \ rates within the State, so as to remove all intrastate discriminations. Approximate adjustments are afforded adjacent cities and towns not shown here. Hundreds of similar illustrations can be * cited. TAKE MONROE, GA., FOR INSTANCE Monroe merchanTs compete in the same general territory ■with Athens and Atlanta. Under the old adjustment, rates from New Si York and the east averaged 2« per cent higher than to Athens and Atlanta. Under the present adjustment, they art the same. Therefore Monroe's improved competitive relation with Atlanta and Athens as compared with her former freight rates from New £ York and the -list ts now 32 ten ts per hundred pounds oil clothing, boots and shoes, dry goods, drugs, notions, cigars, smoking tobacco, etc , all of which art vies take first-class rating, and from Louisville and the west, is 22 cents per hundred pounds better off; 25 cents per hun dred pounds better off on har'd ware, cutlery, glassware, harness, etc., from New York and the oast, and 20 cents per hundred pounds better off on shipments from Louisville, all of which articles take second-class rating; 22 cents per hundred pounds better off on ag ricultural implements, machinery, L. U. L., confectionery, etc., front New York, and 18 cents better off on these shipments from Louis ville and the wesit, all ot which articles take third-class rating; 20 cents per hundred pounds better off on bakery goods, crackers, cotton j* goods, sheeting, shirting, etc., from New Yolk, and 17 cents better oft from Louisville and the west, with respect to Athens, and 14 cents better off with respect to Atlanta, all of which articles take fourth-class rating; 17 cents l etter off on coffee, paper, L. C. L., bur lap bags, etc., from New York, and 13 cents letter off from Tsmi-sville, all of w hich articles take fifth-class rating; 13 cents better off on S wagons, machinery, agricultural implement*, C. L., household goods, C. L., etc., from New York, and 9 cents better off from Louis- T ville and the west, all of which articles take sixtli-cla-ss rating; 11 cents better olf on roofing and wrapping paper, C. L., bagging, ties, etc., from New York; ll cents better off from Louisville w ith respect to Athens, and 9 cents with respect to Atlanta, all of which ar ticles take Class A rating: 1 1 cents better r.fif on cured meats, lard and lard compounds from New’ York, and S cents from Louisville, all of which articles take Class B rating; 4 e«nts better off on grain and grain products, any quantity, hay, C. L., etc., from New Y’ork, and 4 1-2 cents from Louisville and the west, which articles take Class D rating. In the following instances, only the classes are given, but the commodities these classes embrace are easily ascertained from ' the foregoing example: i _ WINDER Winder competes in the aim territory with Athens and Atlanta. Pre viously, the rates from New York and the Past to Winder averaged 5 per cent higher than to Atlanta and Athens, and from Louisville and tire West 19 per cent higher than to Atlanta and 14 per cent higher than to Athens. Under the readjustment rates from New York and the Last to Winder are the same as to Athens and Atlanta, and from the West an av erage of only 4 per cent higher than to Atlanta and the same as to Athens.

VILLA RICA Villa Bica competes in the same territory' with Atlanta. Oedartown, Rome and Anniston. From New York the old rales to Villa Kiea averaged 20 per cent higher than to Atlanta, Rome and Oedartown and 14 per cent higher than to Anniston. The present rates average 5 per cent higher than to Atlanta and Rome, are the same as to Oedartown and in no case higher and in some instances lower than to Anniston. From Louisville, representing the West, the old rates to Villa Rica averaged 36 per rent higher than to Atlanta, Oedartown, Rome or Anniston, whereas the pres ent rates are the same to all.

Your town will have an equal chance on rates in and out. There will be an equality of opportunity, interstate and intrastate. Is it not your opinion that such en adjustment should be encouraged? THE HASLSfOUPS OF GEORGIA 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 tihe sale of his goods, while the products of producers of cotton, lumber and naval stores are left off th e protected flist, 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 fhany years the Congress in arranging the tariff dealt alike with both manufacturer and producers, j keeping the prices of cotton protect ted for about sixty years, and at the begining of the Cival war the South j owned 41 per cent of the wealth of I the United States. But after the war j the polioy was changed, andjf.he prod ! ucts of Manufacturers protected, and other products of tbe 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 existance. GRIFFIN Griffin competes in the territory between Atlanta and Macon.

TALBOTTON Talbotton competes in the same general territory with Atlanta, Ma con, Columbus and Montezuma. Under the old adjustment the rates from New York to Talbotton averaged 33 per cent higher than to Atlanta and Columbus, 41 per cent higher than to Macon and 13 per cent higher than to Montezuma.

This relation lias been continued and ielham and Camillas relation with Albany from the West improved as follows' 12345 6 A B C D From Louisville .. 6 5 8 5 3 ~5 2 1 1 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 apd 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 l less land in the W’est, and there are thousands of acres of valuable lands in the Eleventh District, which, oader 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 I shall conduct my campaign upon Inese and olfier issues which means 'the peoples upliift, without indulging jin personal references tc the ether | candidates in the rape, au .cf them 1 are known to the people. I arn going ! directly to the people with my cam | paign. | The election of a Congressman is 'of more vital interest to the people ; than the election of a-,y other public ■ official, since it is in Congress that j legislation is enacted that helps or hurts the masses of the people.
