i RE-ELECT ROSCOE EMORY DEAN JR. CJ
JYOUR STATE SENATOR 'THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE’^S^^
* My Dear Friends,
* lam grateful that, once again, THE PEOPLE of the Sixth Senatorial
* District have not found it.necessary or desirable to oppose my re-election
* to the Georgia Senate.
* Unfortunately, however, it appears that a few politicans and a
* newspaper editor still have not learned that the voice of THE PEOPLE
* will be heard, in spite of their reported efforts to prevent it.
« "—•
* CANDIDATE REPORTEDLY "HAND-PICKED”
* Newspaper Editor Bill Rhoden of Jesup and several politicans
* reportedly have “hand-picked” a candidate to run against me. WHY?
* In the last session of the legislature, I introduced a bill, at the people’s
* request, that would have allowed them to determine by their vote
* whether to rotate the official organ on a yearly basis (as had been done in
* the past) between the two newspapers in Wayne County. The paper that is
* designated as the official organ is the one in which legal advertisements
* are published. The revenue derived from this official business is ap
* proximately $5,000 per year. Up until three years ago, both papers in
* Wayne County served as official organ newspapers on an annual rotation
* basis, and both shared in the revenue. - -
*
* EDITOR’S STATEMENT AGAINST SENATOR
* It has been reported that Editor Bill Rhoden did not want the people to
* vote on the above question. In fact, Editor Rhoden made the following
* statement about me in the Florida Times Union newspaper on December
* 31,1969. On page B-l: “I’m confident something needs to be done to stop
* Roscoe Dean and I’m confident there will be opposition to him.”
*
# ONE ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN
# THERE APPEARS TO BE ONLY ONE ISSUE IN THIS CAMPAIGN,
# MY FRIENDS. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WHETHER YOU, THE
# PEOPLE, ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A STATE SENATOR
# OR WHETHER A NEWSPAPER EDITOR AND A FEW POLITICANS
# ARE GOING TO HAVE A STATE SENATOR. ROSCOE DEAN JR. IS
# THE PEOPLE’S SENATOR AND THE PEOPLE’S CANDIDATE.
H The opposition knows that Roscoe Dean, Jr., is a dedicated, full-time
# servant of ALL the PEOPLE, and not of the politicans. The opposition
# knows that Roscoe Dean is a man who will stand up and speak out for
# what is right. They know that Roscoe Dean is not a “rubber stamp” or a
# “push button” voter in the State Senate. They know that Roscoe Dean
# cannot be bought. They know that he cannot be controlled or dictated to
# by “selfish interest groups and a special few”.
I “SPECIAL FEW” VERSUS THE PEOPLE
# And so it should be expected that a “special few” might want to get
# THE PEOPLE of the Sixth Senatorial District out of politics by defeating
* Roscoe Dean, Jr.
# But they would not just try to defeat me, my friends. They would be
# after you, the people. Roscoe Dean, Jr. is only a SYMBOL of the
# PEOPLE’S WILL.
- They would be fighting you, the people, because they would not want
„ you to be kept informed about what is going on in your govern
ment because they would not want you, the people, to have a VOICE in
* state and local issues which affect you and because they would not
* want you, the people, to get a full dollar’s value for every tax dollar
spent
* There are some who already are trying to sell the people on the idea
* that Roscoe Dean, Jr. is trying to build up a “powerful political machine”
* in Wayne County to “control the salaries of public officials” and thereby
* control the officials, themselves.
The only machine Roscoe Dean Jr. is associated with is the People’s
* Machine for democratic representation.
* PEOPLE CONTROL POLITICIANS AND SALARIES
* My friends, if you will recall, Roscoe Dean, Jr., is the man who was
* slapped in the face by a sheriff, who wanted a salary increase, and who
* did not like it because Roscoe Dean, Jr., and the taxpayers, thought the
* people, who would have to pay it, should decide if he deserved it.
* I don’t want to control anybody’s salary, but if I have to get slapped
* down every day of the week, I’ll keep insisting that the people do have the
* right to control both salaries and politicans, bar none.
* The record shows Roscoe Dean Jr. made every effort to let the people
* vote on legislative salaries. The record shows that Roscoe Dean Jr. voted
« against his own proposed salary increase.
*
* NEW INDUSTRY AND JOBS
$ If your work doesn’t keep you too busy to listen, you may be hearing a
„ few politicans saying that Roscoe Dean, Jr. failed to help bring new jobs
e to your communities. What they won’t tell you is that the RECORD shows
_ that during my six years in office,/our district has gained ten new in-

by telephone or on a street

should be written down to pro
vide a better understanding
between the buyer and seller, j

the Sixth Senatorial District led the entire state of Georgia In new in- #
dustry gained-the $l5O million dollar Nuclear Power Plant located in #
Appling County. #
Many officials share in the responsibility for securing new industries,
new jobs and growth and development in our district. There are ap- *
proximately four representatives, 30 county commissioners, 60 city
councilmen and six industrial authorities and commissions within the
Sixth Senatorial District which share in this responsibility.
LED 16 DISTRICTS IN APPOINTMENTS *
Even though the RECORD shows that the number of state ap- *
pnintments received by our senatorial district in 1970 exceeded those of 16 #
other senatorial districts, with none being lost except by the nominee’s #
withdrawl or by lawful disqualification, the “power-grabbers” may try to *
convince you that Roscoe Dean Jr. caused our district to lose ap- #
pointments. , *
And, by holding up a census tally which you and I and they know is #
incomplete, they may try to convince you and your new neighbors that *
the district is greatly losing population every day. The truth is, my *
friends, we are just now in the position to gain more neighbors. In fact, we #
are so “under-populated” that a whole county was taken out of the Sixth «
Senatorial District two years ago under re-apportionment in the *
legislature and given to another district that was greatly losing people- «
many of them perhaps to our communities. (Many large areas like *
Savannah and Chatham County; Waycross and Ware County; Macon and #
Bibb County; Thomasville and Thomas County; Dublin and Laurens #
County and Bainbridge and Decatur County are very upset at the in- #
complete census tally which shows them to be losing population.) «
WORKS WITH LOCAL OFFICIALS r *
It has been reported that the “special few” want somebody in the *
Senate who can work with local officials. What they really want is #
somebody who will work with THEM and AGAINST THE PEOPLE. And *
there is no secret about it, I am not that man. •
I have worked, and I will continue to work, with all local officials who «
are working to serve the best interests of the people, but I have no In- •
tention of trying to buy an election by fattening certain politicans’ per- #
sonal paychecks. •
VOTED AGAINST TAX INCREASES *
At no time during my six years of service in the State Senate have I «
voted to increase your state taxes. I believed, and I still do, that Georgia #
is capable of making progress and still living within its means. *
I have been in my senate seat on a full-time basis to vote against bad >
legislation and to support the good, but still, I have been as near to you, #
the people, as your telephone or mailbox. I have not been just an election- #
time friend to the people of the Sixth Senatorial District. *
WORKS LONG HOURS FOR THE PEOPLE #
By working long hours to help you and your neighbors when you need #
help, I don’t have much time left to go asking for votes personally. So, I #
am going to have to rely, once again, upon you, the people, to do most of *
my vote stumping for me. #
If I can’t come to your door this year, it is not because I don t want your ?
vote-it’s because I put duty and service to YOU, the PEOPLE, ahead of ”
politics. , u. .t -11 •
If you will again favor me with your vote, you can be sure that I will
continue, as YOUR SERVANT, to vote in your favor. I NEED AND ASK I
FOR YOUR VOTE, YOUR HELP, YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR *
PRAYERS. Please go to the polls on Wednesday, September 9,1970, and *
vote for Roscoe Dean, Jr. #
COMPARE CANDIDATES IN HOME COUNTY . #
I also invite and encourage each of you to visit my home county of #
Wayne and talk to the people about the two candidates for State'Senator. #
lam sorry that you once again may be subjected to a malicious rumor *
and smear campaign against me and my family. lam sure, however, that *
most of you are as accustomed to the un-truths directed against me, as I #
am, and that you will be able to separate the “chaff from the grain.” *
A few politicians may say we’ve not been getting our fair *
share of county road contracts. The RECORD proves other
wise. Under Georgia law. the county commissioners are res- *
ponsible for securing county road contracts and not the *
state senator. *
Faithfully, *

are only main points to be con
sidered in timber sales. Fence
damage, fire, uncut marked
trees, and trees cut that were
not marked should be penal
ties to be paid for by the buy
er. The seller should accept
these agreements because they
know what to expect — it is
all on paper.
Estimates of standing tree
volume should be known be
fore a sale is made. A sale
should not be made if a buyer
or seller does not know the
volume of timber on a tract. A
grocery store owner will know
how many jars of 39c jelly
are on the self. The forest
owner should also know how
many 39c trees he has for sale.
This is done by marking trees
for cutting and measuring the
trees to obtain the tree vol
ume.
Timber sales can be profit
able if landowners consider
their sales as other business
men treat their salable pro-
ducts.
Forestry services are availa
ble from your Georgia Fores
try Commission.
