ALL THE FACTS
In one of his lighter moods one of our
greatest Presidents once opined that “you
can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
Since his time, Americans have become
much better educated and more sophisti
cated, and the dangers of trying to fool
them are many. In our relations with people
we have learned that the soundest proce
dure is to give them all the facts at our
command and allow them to make their
own decisions. They know their circumstan
ces and what they need and want so much
better than we do.

Hoke S. Wilson
Is Candidate for
Representative
To the Citizens and
Voters of the 84th
Representative District:
As all of you know, Pierce and
Brantley Counties now have to
share a State Representative in
the 84th Representative District.
I am a candidate for this most
important office, subject to the
Democratic Primary to be held
on September 14th.
I have always believed that ev
ery county should have at least
one representative. However,
since this is no longer possible,
due to the rulings of the United
States Supreme Court, I am hap
py that the counties of Pierce and
Brantley were placed in the same
district. The two counties have a
lot in common, including family
ties, religious life, and agricul
ture. In fact part of Brantley
County was once a part of Pierce.
I was born in Brantley County,
and have lived there all my life,
except for time I spent in the
C.C.C. camp and the United
States Navy. I am married to the
former Miss Mary Bryan. We
have three children and three
grandchildren.
In 1962, the people of Brantley
County honored me by electing
me State Representative. In 1964,
I was reelected for another 2 year
term. The reapportionment of the
House of Representatives did
not allow me to serve but one
year to the term I was elected in
1964. While in the House of Rep
resentatives, I served on the
Welfare, Motor Vehicles and State
Institutions and Property Commit
tees. I was vice-chairman of the
Sub-Committee on Juvenile Mat
ters.
I believe that the experience I
have gained while serving as
Brantley County Representative,
plus the fact that I am a native
bom son, aware of the needs and
problems of our people, amply
qualifies me to serve as your
representative.
I promise you that I will work
with all of the officials of both
counties in the securing of more
roads, more industry, and more
services for our district.
I am going to make a special
effort to see each of you, and dis
cuss my platform with you. If I
for some reason do not get a
chance to talk with you in per
son, please accept this as a per
sonal appeal for your vote and in
fluence.
Sincerely
HOKE S. WILSON 7-21
