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 /ich 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'i&ush ' THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA. Sept., 2 1916. WHY MANY TOWNS AF 3VE FREIGHT RATE EQUALIZATION More Instances Showing How New Interstate Freight Rate Adjustment Is Benefiting Georgia Cities and Towns. There Are Hundreds of Similar Instances. It has been shown in the hearing on the petition of the railroads of Georgia now in progress before the Railroad Commission of Georgia, which seeks as one of its objects to readjust and equalize freight rates between cities and towns within Georgia, that the situation of many Georgia cities has been greatly improved by the interstate freight rate readjustment put into effect on January Ist, last. Approximately two thousand cities and towns in Georgia have been benefited by this interstate adjustment. If the petition of the railroads is granted, existing freight rate discriminations within the state will be removed and freight rates to and from Georgia towns equi-distant and similarly situated will be the same. Here are indicated some of the principal commodities embraced in the freight Classification: CLASS! F 1C AT SO NS IST CLASS: Clothing, Boots and Shoes, Drugs, Drygoods, Notions, Cigars, Smoking Tobacco, etc. 3ND CLASS: Hardware, Cutlery, Glassware Harness, etc. 3KI) CLASS: Agricultural Implements, Machinery LCL, Confection etc. 4TH CLASS: Bakery Goods, Crackers, Cotton Goods, Sheeting, Shirt ing, etc. The following are some additional and widely separated points rate adjustment: LUMPKIN Lumpkin’s rate from New York and the East was 29 per cent higher than to Albany, Americus and Columbus, and is now only 11 per cent higher.

Read what Gainesville thinks about the proposed revision of intrastate freight rates. Unlike many towns in Georgia which secured general and heavy reductions in interstate freight rates at the time of adjrstment on January Ist last. Gainesville has had depressed interstate rates lor some years, and the new interstate adjustment advances the rates to Gainesville on some articles and makes reductions on others. But Gainesville finds that, although some of her rates were advanced, her improved relation with neighboring jobbing centers has substantially increased and extended her trade. From Louisville and West From leprcsenting tbe Wi.-t. ihv rate on cured meats to Gainesville was itoueed 9 cents per I.enure:, pounds, and her rela tion to Athens and Atlanta improved U cents per hmtdred pounds.

The r e will be an equality of opportunity, interst'ate and intrastate, is it net your opinion that such an adjustment should ce encouraged? THE RAILROADS @F 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 the sale of his goods, while the products of producers of cotton, lumber and naval stores are left off the protected ilist, 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 ai 1 aiiging tfoe tariff dealt alike with THE GAINESVILLE PETITION The petition of the Gainesville Merchant*? and Manufacturers’ Association is as follows: "liwrerable Railroad Commission, State of Georgia, Atlanta Ga •‘Gentlemen We wish to let you Know that we have taken the time and trouble to look into the revision of freight rates in Georgia that the railroads have proposed lor your approval, and that we believe the same should believe 5 that the plan for readjusting tfce rates, including the observance of the long and short-haul principle, will benefit the greatest number of people in the state, and will remove the discrimination that now exists in’ favor of the fewer larger cities. This discrimination has retarded the development of far the greater number of smaller communities. ... ... "We understand that the proposed adjustment will give the railroads a small increase in revenues, and we further believe they are entitled to a reasonable increase.

But after the war the polioy was changed, and the prod ucts cf 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 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 teo 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.

I also favor a market bureau in the Eleventh district can have reas- 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 lands in the Eleventh District, which, under scientific and economal (gaining, 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 onable prosperity, the laborer will re ceive his reward and ail other interests prosper as well. I favor improving the ports at Brunswick and St. Mrn-ys. I shall conduct my campaign upon these and other issues which means the peoples upli:*, 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 paign. The election cf a Congressman is o-f more vital interest to the people than the election cf m y other public official, since it is in Congress that legislation is enacted that helps or hurts the masses cf the people.
