POLITICAL
ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR REPRESENTATIVE
To the Citizens of Brantley County:
At the request of a number of
friends I have decided to enter the
race for representative in the Gen
eral Assembly from Brantley Coun
ty, subject to the state Democratic
primary to be held September 8.
I was born and reared in Brantley
County and I feel that I am well
acquainted with the problems of
Our county and state. If elected as
your representative in the state
legislature, it would be my con
stant purpose to serve you as honest
ly and conscientinously as I possi
bly ean.
If you think I am the man best
qualified to serve you, I will greatly
appreciate your vote and influence
in the race.
Yours sincerely,
W. B. (Bill) HARRIS.
FOR THE STATE SENATE
To the Voters of
Brantley County:
This is to announce my candidacy
for State Senator from the Third
senatorial district in the forthcom
ing Democratic Primary to be held
September 8, 1954.
The office that I am seeking is
the same office that I held the last
time that it was Brantley County’s
time to furnish the Senator for the
district.
Having served over four years
in the last war with a great part of
the time spent overseas and also
belonging to several veteran’s or
ganizations, I feel that I am es
pecially adapted to helping serve
the needs of the veterans, their
families and dependants.
In view of a recent Supreme
Court decision, our State govern
ment and the next Governor will
need members of the legislature
with a legal background to assist
in remedying the bad situation that
now confronts us. I assure the vo
ters that I will fight for our rights
in this and all other times when
our rights are jeopardized.
In the event that the people of
my home County of Brantley again
favor me with this high honor, I
will serve impartially the interest
of all the people of the district as
I have done previously.
Your vote and influence will be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
CECIL RODDENBERRY
