Trained For The Job
Efficiency! The twentieth century standard by
which'the world measures those selected to do big
things.
The MAN himself being satisfactory, the next
thought is of his training and ability.
Representing a great state like Georgia in. the United
States Senate is a big thing—a full-grown man’s job—
if it is attended to properly.
JOHN M. SLATON is a full-grown public man.
His ability has never been questioned.
Two decades of training in the service of YOU—tho
people—comprises an apprenticeship' which should
equip him for the ofllce.
■ SLATON served eight years in tho Legislature—in
the ranks.
SLATON was then twice chosen Speaker—unani
mously—and served four years more.
SLATON made a great Speaker—the best oh record,
say those who know—because he had trained for it.
SLATON was then elected to the Senate, twice—and
was elected President twice—unanimously both times
—and he was a great President of the Senate—because
he had trainod for the job.
SLATON was Acting Governor a short time. You
remember how well he filled the office, temporarily.
It was because he had been training for sixteen years.
SLATON was then elected Governor, practically
Unanimously; not only because he was popular, but
because his trained fitness had been proven.
SLATON has carried out in full his legislate program
in a year. He succeeded because he knew the job. He
had trained for it seventeen years.
Farmers and doctors are not made in a day. Neither
are statesmen. They must learn. They must work up.
They must train.
SLATON has learned, he has worked up, he has
trained. Efficient public service supplanted ephemeral
bombast. Results have counted. Knowledge of duty
well done has,meant more to Slaton than public
applause.
YOU—the people—need a trained man for Senator.
We offer you the best trained man in Georgia—JOHN
M. SLATON.
Examine the records.
John M. Slaton State Campaign Committee
ALFRED C. NEWELL, Chairman J. A. MORROW. Secretary
‘‘SEND SLATON TO THE SENATE.”
N. B.: Slaton has never been a candidate, real or prospective, for
any place for which he had not prepared himself by long
and earnest service, and for which he was not properly in
line. Mnybu that's the reason he has never had serious
opposit ion.
