“Until The
Fight is Won”
“Until the fight be won ol' tins flght-
or bo dead.”
With tlicBo fow words, full, of the
simplicity and the power of the man
who wrote them, Judge Pnrk made
his eonvennnt with the people of the
Second District. The Sixty-fourth
Congress has passed into history,
and the time to say whether the Con
gressman has kept lvis agreement is
hard at hand.
This information is readily to he
ascertained from the record. And
who isn’t familiar with Congress
man Park’s record? Written in its
pages are achievements worthy to
crown the labor-of-iiny man. This
record, in fact, is so complete, and
the Congressman’s district has so
prospered under his representation,
that his opponents, being destitute
of applicable arguments, have been
driven to the extremity of complain
ing that the Congressman was devot
ing his time to the sinnllcr matter.-
of the district to’ the deteriment o'
matters of national interest.
Rut the Congressman has been true
and faithful to. his promise, ns aT
men know. He has lived up to the
letter and the spirit of his contract
lie has earned his reward.
It is true tl’gt the campaign luu
taken an evil turn. Criticism of tin
Congressman’s record has evoked re
taliatory criticism of his opponent’!
record, and the thrust and the conn
ter thrust arc staining the blades ol
tile duelists.
Rut. wo are not concerned with
that. No good can come out of it
Even though his oponent be magnetic,
brilliant,' energetic and- lovable, .we
maintain, out of all- fairness, what
has been said above. The fighter ha-
won his fight, and now it is for hit
people to say "whether he shall re
ceive his reward.—-Bainbridge Dem
ocrat.
Approve Congress
man Park’s Record
The people of the Second District
have now hoard Congressman Park's
record discussed from one .end, of the
district to the other, and a large
majority of them, according to the
best information to be had from sour
ces that, have* herofbforo proven to
lie reliable, are satisfied with it and
will vote to send hint buck to Con
gress.
Fulfills His Obligations
To The People
In his determination to do hit
duty and fulfill his obligations tc
the people of his district and to hit
government, Judge Park is settin;
a good example for public officials,
who often neglec t their duties it
order to look'after . personal inter
ests’. • •
Judge Park is well known to the
people of this district, ns he hat
served them for years, and they
know him to be a gentleman, {
good citizen, and a man of- honor.
Frank Park WQuld never knowingly
sacrifice the interests of his people
for personal gain. We all know
that. And his ability to serve this
d'strict has beef! proven. Frank
Park has done as much in Congress
as any man who ever served Geor
gia, everything being equal in other
respects. A Congressman who
votes on the right side of bills, and
who is watchful in the interests of
the people when bad bills arc up,
is serving his people well.
Congressman Park was chosen
1 ist session to serve on the great
Committee on Ronds, and assisted
in framing and securing the passage
of the good roads bill which was
signed by the President last week,
giving Georgia over §2,000,000 of
Federal Government money to as
sist in building better roads which
will provide better transportation
facilities for fanners and increase
land values in the rural districts.
Judge Park is a good and worthy
■man, and our people will surely
give his candidacy a fair considera
tion this time.—Edison News.

Special to The Herald.
Colquitt, On. August 2§.—At the
boll weevil meeting held in Miller
county recently, circulars wore dis
tributed in abundance, advertising
that Judge E. E. Cox would speak to
the voters of Miller county at the.
court house in Colquitt, August 20th.
The Judge camp in promptly Friday
afternoon and wits, very prominently
■icon on the streets shaking bunds
vith his friends and reminding theta'
if his speech-on the Saturday fol
lowing, which he was anxious foi
hem all to hear, lie spent tin
tight with Itis friend, Mr. R. R. Bush,
who in his introduction, dug from the
.'util re Judge Park’s flower gnrdei
n Miller county and planted in oi
•very side of his friend, in the mos'
flowing terms of praise and love
legging his friends, as did Dnmot
icg- for. the life of his friend Pythias
to listen to tlie Judge, vote for bin
and wave ids young, .ambitious and
noble dreams...
With this introduction, the Judge
.'’need an audience of !)3 persons, 2
if whom were children, three indie:
onr visitors, mid live negroes
Thanking his friend for his generoui

otorul character of his opponent, In

•oiling- up his sleeves, hogged tli

He went for tile Judge for his pol
tical tactics and intellectual ability
barging him first with using- tli
rbvorument’s frank in furthering hi
lolitienl campaign, stating he wm
inuble to write every man in the dis
trict-ns the-Judge hud done becausi
jo had no government to bay h
i tumps. Here he made “Ihrc
ittikos” nt.llie hull-mid was ealle<

ed with Ids'picture nnd 'literature
ind because .of the fact that lie, Cox
hud moved his headquarters into an
ither county from wliicjt he resides
Second, he was glad when tin
ludge came, for two reasons, first
t. would stop so much expense to the
government, and second'that he might
induce him into a joint debate, Agaie
Judge ’Cioji was ‘taint" for Judge
Pnrk did not open his cmnpnigi
headquarters until lie eiune home and
lias met Judge Cox in joint debate

He charged the Congressman ot
having written every Ordinary in tin
district concerning pensions front Hu
federal government for the •’old sol
liars, for politicnl reasons only, am
io( that lie cared a thrip for the old
roldier. Here he was “out” again

his nefero was down, on Flint riv
'Way from white people and that

words, he inferred that it was umiee-
tssnry, possibly, to move this negro

Fifth, “My people, listen , to me

and the fool never does.
He also rips the Judge’s brother
up and would put shackles on his dir
ty legs, “if he would only get off of
his belly and fight by putting charges
ia writing.” The Judge is a nice
speaker without a doubt, mul has a
nice subject, the Congressman’s rec
ord, to talk about, but *.e is on the
wrong side of the subject. The peo

Park and for what he is trying to do.

was received 'with considerable
hiughlcr and a great, deaj of ap

'■The first duty of. n congressman,”
said Judge Pnrk, “is loyalty. He
should lie an elemental, rugged work
er. At all times he should be ready,'
willing nnd anxious to represent the
•nttse of Itis people.? His 1 duty, ho
mid, was first, the "welfare of the

Before the inrgest political crowc’

Park addressed the people of Bnin-
bridge and. the surrounding terri-
, bry Wednesday night in the city
oark.
After the band had finished
lavc-ral beautiful pieces, and Hon.
A. B. Conger had introduced thr
guest of tho evening, Judge Park
spoke for an hour and a half, net
n defense of his record, but in cx-
llunution of the work of the 6411
congress.
He spoke of the bill which lie
was heartily supporting to have
returned to the people of the South
the $70,000,000 which had been il
legally taken from them by the old
cotton tax. If this hill, he, said
could he gotten throhgh. the com

would pass, nnd that if. it did hi
would be willing to render tip hi:
stat in congress and return bin 1

would be returned to the “men
with armless sleeves and wooden
legs” from whom it had been taken
Much of his work has been de-

in the pure, concise language whizh
is characteristic of him. Ho ex-
plninrd the proposed Rural Pen
siori Bill, showing how he desired
that this money be not turned
over to “doubtful states”, hut that
tlie §45,000 saved by the combin
ing of the rural rputes he returned
to the Second District. He stated
that, the canal project had been
suggested by a government engi
neer. The war department had
previously determined to dig
canal in Florida which would con
nect the Gulf of Mexico with* the
Atlantic Ocean, at a cost of §27,-
,100,000. His bill, which had re
ceived the warm indorsement ol
persons high in authority, would
answer the same purpose and cost
only §6,000,000. The canal, the
Congressman stated was not in
tended to bo navigated by ocear.

and not upon want.”
lie said the Merchant Marine wai-
“the star in the East” for agricul

privilege about which so many crit

that he had never employed its uses
without Jjrst submitting the muter to
be mailed to the second pQsmaster
general, who . had •. always given * his
approval.
By making it possible for 1000
more rural families to- roceive tho
benefits of the rural routes, the Con
gressman stated that lie believed this
was one of The greatest nets he had
performed for his peoplij.
'H'6 had always voted against pen
