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.

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.
