WHAT THE CONFED
ERATE VETERANS
OF PULASKI COUNTY
SAID AND PUBLISH
ED ABOUT JUDGE
MARTIN IN HIS FOR
MER RACE FOR
JUDGE.
TO THE PEOPLE.
We the undersigned, a rem
nant of the Confederate Army,
an army whose deeds upon the
battle field challenges the admir
ation of the world, moved by a
spirit of comradeship and by a
high regrad for the public weal,
endorse Judge John H. Martin
for re-election to the office of
Judge of the Superior Courts of
the Oconee Circuit and appeal to
the Veterans, Sons of Veterans
and the citizens generally to cast
their votes for him.
Judge Martin is a man that has
been tried on “field and forum
and never found wanting.” On
the field of battle, in the bloody
days from 1861 to 1865, in the
front rank from start to finish he
stood, except when shot down, as
his scars will bear testimony.
His impediment of speech is the
result of a dangerous wound re
ceived in battle and is a constant
reminder' to the people that he,
as did the gallant Gordon, bears
upon his face scars that are a
badge of honor.
In the dark and terrible days
of reconstruction, when ruin and
desolation like a mighty tornado
were sweeping over the South,
he was again at the front and
devotedly stood by the cause of
the white people.
He has always been with the
people and for the people advo
cating the election of officers by
the people and the submitting to
the people of all matters affect
in them.
As a school teacher and a law
yer, burning the midnight oil
was his constant practice the bet
ter to prepare himself to do his
duty by his scholars and later as
a lawyer to his clients.
As a judge of the Superior
Courts he has honored us and
himself by his fearless devotion
to duty and we endorse him and
present his claims not alone upon
his gallantry as a soldier, but
especially upon his faithful,
energetic, able and impartial
work upon the bench. He is a
judge of unusual ability as shown
by his record in the cases that
have gone before the courts of
last resort.
In the discharge of his duties
he has been alert and patient,
and while compelling respect for
the court and sustaining the dig
nity of the bench, he has shown
tender sympathy and due regard
for the man of lowly estate and
tempered justice with mercy
whenever it could be done with
out neglect of duty in sustaining
the law. He has kept order in
the court room because it was
right to do so and secure the
proper trial of cases.
His private life, deeds of char
ity and noble deeds to children
whom he has educated, and
others he is still educating at his
own private expense, should
cause some of his critics to ex
amine themselves.
We look upon and regard
Judge Martin as an honor to his
state, an honor to his country
and the community in which he
lives and a distinguished hbnor
to th<rjudiciary of Georgia, and
we therefore, prompted bv our
own volition, respectfully submit
to you and ask your most favor
able consideration of his candi
dacy for the judgeship in the ap
proaching primary on the 4th of
June. Respectfully,

SURELYJ WINNER
FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER IN
THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
REPRESENT ENTIRE STATE
From Every Section of Georgia Indi
cations Assure His Strength—
Only Man In the Race Not
From Atlanta.
The time is near when th 6 people
of Georgia must decide upon the
merits of the men who desire to serve
them as Railroad Commissioners.
Before I announced for the vacan
cy caused by the expiration of the
term of Mr. Hillyer, he assured me
that he would not stand for re-elec
tion, as he would soon be 82 years
old and desired to retire from public
life, but since then, urged by the At
lanta Freight Bureau, he has entered
the race.
As has also S. G. McLendon,
of Atlanta, who was serving on the
commission when removed by the gov
ernor. He wants vindication.
Atlanta, with its 155,000 people, al
ready has two representatives on the
commission and is striving for the
third man.
Should not the rest of Georgia, with
2,609,121 people, have the majority
of the Commissioners? Is Atlanta
larger and greater than all the rest
of Georgia? For every resident of
Atlanta, there are 160 other Georgians
who do not live in that city.
Be sure to cast your vote for W.
Trox Bankston, who has all the en
dorsement a man can be given as a
citizen by men in every walk of life
in the town in which he lives, busi
ness men, professional men, clergy
men and laboring men, and who is
endorsed by more than 150 country
newspapers in every section of the
state and many of the dailies.
Bankston stands for progressive
ness, is unpledged, unbiased and de
sires to represent every section of the
state of Georgia, without friends to
reward or enemies to punish.
He has traveled nearly all over the
state and knows as much about the
actual physical conditions of the rail
roads and the needs of the people as
any man who has ever served on the
commission.
Vote for W. Trox Bankston to suc
ceed Hillyer and you will make no
mistake He will appreciate your vots
and influence.
