C. J. Broome Requests Support
Os All Brantley County People
TO THE PEOPLE OF BRANTLEY COUNTY:
This is my appeal to you for your active support in my
race for lieutenant-governor of the State of Georgia.
Brantley County is my former home and where I
graduated from high school. I got my first newspaper ex
perience with my father’s weekly paper, The Brantley
Enterprise. Always will I cherish in my heart the friends
of my boyhood in Brantley County and all that the people
of the county have meant to me and to my entire family.
Now I have entered the race for lieutenant-governor
and I need the enthusiastic support of the county where
I was raised.
Your support will greatly encourage me and will help
me a great deal in my race over the state.
If I am elected lieutenant-governor, I will do my best
to serve the entire state to the best of my ability. And I
will be especially grateful if my friends in Brantley
county will roll up a big vote in my behalf.
Please call on me if I can be of any service to any of
you at any time.
C. J. Broome of Alma
Seeks No. 2 State Post
Pledging a fighting campaign,
Rep. C. J. Broome of Alma quali
fied Saturday as a candidate for
lieutenant-governor with George
Stewart, secretary of the State
Democratic Executive committee.
The Bacon County legislator
and weekly newspaper publisher
declared:
“I am running to win.”
“Victory belongs only to the
voters of Georgia. The race has
not yet been decided. No one can
rightfully claim that high office
until the votes are cast in the
Democratic Primary on Sept. 10.
“The people of Georgia will
make their decision as the race is
run. The campaign is on, and the
voters have a choice. I would
not thwart that privilege in any
manner.
“I am a candidate and am de
termined to win to protect that
inherent and basic right. I shall
take my fight to the people in
all the counties of Georgia.’
He declared himself for (1)
racial segregation protected by
the county unit system and all
other necessary means; (2) a posi
tive program to help the farmer,
the laboring man annd the small
businessman; (3) continuation of
the lieutenant-governor’s leader
ship role both as presiding offi
cer of the Senate and in helping
formulate laws and programs; (4)
an “all-Georgia” concept of the
state’s economy that will not pit
rural areas against urban areas,
but will have cities and small
towns and counties working hand
in hand for progress.
Broome, 34, is a long-time
friend and supporter of the pre
sent lieutenant-governor, Ernest
Vandiver.
He is publisher of the Alma
Times and immediate past presi
dent of the Georgia Press Assoc
iation. He has long been active
in state and local civic and gov
ernmental affairs. He is president
of Quality Features Syndicate,
Inc., magazine publishing firm.
Born in Jeffersonville, Ga.,
Broome is the son of a Baptist
minister and has lived through
out Georgia. His parents are Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Broome of Nahun
ta. The elder Broome is publish
er of the Brantley Enterprise, and
four brothers and a sister of Rep.
Broome are active in Georgia
publishing.
He is married to the former
Myrtle Tanner of Alma. They
have two daughters, Lynda Sue,
8, and Lou Jean, 6.
The candidate for lieutenant
governor said:
“I am not the hand-picked
candidate of any individual or
special group, but I will seek the
votes and support of all Georgians
interested in progress for our
state and dedicated to Southern
traditions.”
He said his detailed program
will be released later.

Political
Announcements
For Representative
TO THE VOTERS OF
BRANTLEY COUNTY:
I hereby announce my candi
dacy for the State House of Rep
resentatives from Brantley Coun
ty, subject to the rules and reg
ulations of the Democratic Pri
mary to be held on September
10th, 1958.
I have lived in what is now
Brantley County all of my life,
I have been a member of your
school system for 20 years, con
stantly working to have better
educational opportunities for the
children of Brantley County.
You honored me when I was
elected your Representative, and
I have constantly worked for the
progress of Brantley County,
helping secure road contracts,
some of which are under construc
tion, and contracts for the con
struction of other roads will be
let in a few days. I shall contin
ue these efforts, working for the
good of all citizens.
Brantley County now stands on
the threshold of even greater
progress in schools, and roads. I
earnestly solicit the opportunity
to be part of this, by serving as
your Representative in the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia.
Your vote and active support
in my behalf will be greatly ap
preciated.
Sincerely Yours,
J. Floyd Larkins.
TO THE VOTERS
OF BRANTLEY COUNTY
This is to announce my candi
dacy for Representative from
Brantley County in the election
to be held in September.
For thirty years I have been
connected with the educational
farming and forestry affairs of
our county. This experience gives
me a good understandipg of the
problems facing us today. I am
particularly concerned about the
waste and corruption in our
State and Federal governments,
and the constant increase in the
already heavy tax burden being
placed on our shoulders. We are
only kidding ourselves when we
create “authorities” to sell bonds
to enable them to go into all
kinds of activities. Those bonds
are obligations of the state of
Georgia and we will eventually
have to pay them through an
increasing tax load on us.
If you see fit to elect me as
your representative, I shall do
everything within my power to
eliminate corruption in state af
fairs and to stop the rapid in
crease in taxes we are blindly
placing on ourselves and our
children.
I consider it an honor to rep
resent Brantley County in Atlanta
and I shall appreciate your vote
and influence in helping me win
this race.
Yours Sincerely,
E. L. Sears
