Representative Robert Harrison
Has Qualified for Re-election
TO THE PEOPLE OF
BRANTLEY - CHARLTON
AND CAMDEN COUNTIES
I hereby announce .my can
didacy for the office of State
Representative of Legislative
District 66, Brantley, Charl
ton and Camden Counties, sub
ject to the rules and regula
tions of the Democratic Pri
mary to be held Wednesday,
September 11, 1968.
The entire 46 years of my
life have been spent in the
Brantley - Charlton - Camden
County area with the excep
tion of seven years in college
and law school and four years
military service, three years
of which were served over
seas.
After graduating from
Charlton County High School
I attended Georgia Military
College prior to service in
the United States Army and
finished my education after
discharge.
After completing college and
law school and having been
admitted to the Georgia Bar
in December, 1950, I commenc
ed the practice of law in St.
Marys and have been engaged
in the general practice of law
for the past 17 years.
During this period of time ;
it has been my distinct honor, !
for which I shall always be
grateful, to represent indivi
duals. partnerships, corpora
tions, financial institutions,
banking corporations located
in Camden. Charlton and
Brantley Counties, County j
Governments, City Govern
ments, Housing Authorities, i
Hospital Authorities, Indus-I
trial Development Authorities, i
Airport Authority and others.
not only in legal matters but
in Courts of Law and before
Administrative Agencies.
Indeed, it is on the very .
basis of these long years of I
practical legal experience,
coupled with my knowledge of I
our people and their needs,
together with the seniority'
and experience I have gained
as State Representative of i
District 98, that I offer my
self as a candidate for this
important position of public
trust.
During my entire service in
the General Assembly of
Georgia I have been a mem
ber of the Judiciary Commit
tee and Chairman of the Sub
committee on general law and
procedure; a member of the
Game and Fish Committee and
Chairman of a Special Sub
committee; a member of the
Appropriations Committee and
Chairman of several Subcom
mittees. I hope to be able to
use the seniority and exper
ience I have gained by ser
vice on these committees to
better represent the people
of the 66th District.
I am a member of the
Georgia State Bar. American
Bar, American Trial Lawyers
Association. Judicature Soci
ety and have been admitted to
practice law in all courts of
the State of Georgia, all the
United States Federal District
Courts and the United States
Supreme Court.
I am a student, advocate and
practitioner of Constitutional
Law. Having been reared in
the cradle of democracy I
promise to continue to fight
for the return of government
to its rightful owner, you the
people, by requiring govern
ment at the State level to ob
tain the consent of the gov
erned.
I promise to work with local
governments, elected public
officials, civic leaders and ci
tizens so that we, together,
may:
Promote and secure the lo
cation of additional industry
and business enterprises in the
66th District. Through this
means we can utilize our vast
area, ample underground wat
er and waterways, excellent
climate, skilled and semi-skill
ed labor supply to obtain ad
ditional employment for our
people including our young
men and women, thereby se
curing an even higher stan
dard of living;
Maintain U. S. Highways 1,
301 and 17 in a good state of
repair and urge State and
Federal Governments to sche
dule four laning at the earliest
possible date. These time hon
ored highways provide life
giving economic blood to this
District and employment in
service and supply business
houses established by millions
of dollars of capital investment
which must be protected. I
take the position that we must
commence the four laning of
301 through Brantley County
to Folkston and 17 from the
St. Marys River to the Glynn
County line;
Attract some of the south
bound tourist trade by deve
loping recreational and resort
areas, including offshore fish
ing drops, thereby providing
economic diversification and
growth;
Secure improvements in the
District byway of road, high
way and street paving, curb
and gutter, sidewalks and
bridges. The rate of construc
tion must be increased if we
are to provide service and
supply for expanding areas re
sulting from normal popula
tion growth and industrial in
creases.
I promise to work diligently
and to use the knowledge,
training, experience and sen
iority you have permitted me
to gain toward the dedicated
and equitable representation
of the 66th District in the
State Legislature, fairly and
impartially, for the mutual
benefit of all our people and
growth of the district.
On this basis I ask for your
vote, support and help in the
September 11th Democratic
Primary and the General E
lection in November.
Respectfully submitted.
Robert W. Harrison. Jr

A
problem ...
We face a crisis in our cities, crowded with people
in search of a better life —or a living. Today, 70%
of our people live on about 1% of our land. This
trend must be reversed if we are to avert catastrophe.
Rural Electric people believe it is time we use one
of our greatest assets — our un-crowded countryside —
to help solve the problem which concerns us all.
But Rural America lacks job opportunities. Few
have been created in the past dozen years. Yet, polls
say half our population would like to live and work in
rural areas.
The Nation's electric cooperatives are working to
restore rural-urban balance ... by working to revital
ize rural areas . . . help bring in rural industry . . .
and by continuing to provide adequate, low-cost elec
tric m ower which is vital to future progress . . .

WASTING MONEY
You may be wasting your
money and time if you apply
fertilizer around your shrub
bery and fail to supply the
proper amount of water. Ac
cording to Gerald Smith, hor
ticulturist with the University
of Georgia Extension Service,
fertilizers are effective only
when ample water is present
in the soil.
EASY CONTROL
Herbicides make weed con
trol in lawns easy, according
to Dr. James Miller, agrono
mist with the University of
Georgia Cooperative Exten
sion Service. There are several
herbicides that will adequate
ly control most weeds in your
lawn. For more information

ROSCOS SMORY OSAN JR.
My Dear Friends
For nearly four years you have permitted me to serve as YOUR state senator. Again, I
say, thank you for the faith and confidence you have placed in me.
As I review our accomplishments In these few years, I am ever mindful of the fact that I
could not have done it alone. I have had the co-operation, the help, the prayersand
the support of YOU, the PEOPLE.
This Is what has made It possible for us to point to our years In the Senate and proudly
say, ""a Job well done." YOU, the PEOPLE have stood by me, and WE as a TEAM have
accomplished much.
Another election is upon us. This one, in one respect, is no different from my race two
years ago—that of an alleged hand-picked and hired candidate running against me.
WHY? My opposition knows that Roscoe Dean is a dedicated fulltime public servant for
all the PEOPLE and NOT for the POLITICIANS. They know that Roscoe Dean Is a
man that will stand up and speak out loud and clear for that which is RIGHT, They
know that Roscoe Dean's Record shows that he Is not a "yes man", a "rubber stamp" or
a "push button" voter In the State Senate. They know that Roscoe Dean can be
dictated to—but only by ALL the People and the Principles that protect their welfare.
Reports have reached me that once again I am being attacked PERSONALLY by several
individuals who are spreading vicious and untrue rumors about me in the district. I am
sure you remember in two previous campaigns,the smears, the Iles, the half-truths and
the untrue rumors that were spread about me PERSONALLY. Even my name was forged
at the University of Georgia in an attempt to get my college record. If you are unfortunate
enough to hear this dirt and mud that is being thrown at me, I am confident you will, as
you have done twice before, separate the "chaff from the grain."
Several Individuals have come to me and asked my advice about them running for a
political office. I made it clear to them that I do not get involved directly or indirectly
in other people's politics or races. I am not Identified with any political candidate,
special person, group or political faction. 1 am running my race on my own and out of
my own pocketbook. My campaign headquarters are In the hearts and minds of the
PEOPLE and my campaign managers are my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Dean, Sr.,
of Jesup, Georgia.
With YOUR continued support and assistance, we will go forward to a brighter future
and even better Georgia. I NEED AND ASK FOR YOUR VOTE, SUPPORT AND
PRAYERS, if it is your desire for me to continue to serve as your State Senator,
please go to the polls on Wednesday, September ] 1 th, and cast your vote for ROSCOE
EMORY DEAN, JR.
It Is my earnest prayer that strength and courage will be given to all who work for reason
and understanding; that the good that Iles in every person's heart may day by day grow
that people will come to see more clearly not that which divides them, but that which
unites them, so that the pages of our history will glow brightly and our children's future
will be a happy one.
FAITHFULLY,
ROSCOE EMORY DEAN, JR.

a pork roast, pork steaks and
chop suey from the same piece
of meat. You can cook one
and freeze the other two for
later use.
